Good article on the mosque madness

I just read this on foreign policy and thought it was a really good article on an ongoing national debate, so I figured I'd give it a post here.

Greg Gutfeld Proposes to Open a Gay Bar by the Ground Zero Mosque


and this..

 

funny that some people who think the 10 commandments ought to be in courthouses and such nonsense as that

now want government to step in and block a religious building

i'm confused, but i'm sure they're not . . .

 

lmao

 

ima be the first muslim tranny to visit the place..
man did i stir up shit with that comment somewhere else..

 

One of your endearing qualities.

I'm tempted to be on the side of the conservatives on this one because of the precedent it would set.

The next time some Baptist preacher wants to open a church near me, I could get an injunction on the grounds that the Baptists irritate the sensibilities of my Cherokee ancestors.

I don't think these people are really aware that many of the 17% of non-religious people in America have been waiting for this moment for decades. We would finally have the right to say no to a church in our neighborhood.

i had not considered this angle, and am switching positions

perhaps once precedent has been set i can begin pestering the glendive city council to close down and demolish all the existing churches within a 1-mile radius of my house

i have a reason to live now, thanks jack!

 

It's that old adage, be careful what you wish for. And now, it comes out that this is not a Mosque anyway, but a cultural center, which means I can get rid of those pesky homophobic Boy Scouts who meet up the road, too.

All one has to do is go to Fred Phelps web site to see that religion has too much freedom in America. And, I'm happy to see that it's the Christians trying to roll back the special place that religion holds in American society, they're the only ones who have a big enough lobby to do it.

"But what if Newt Gingrich, Rick Lazio, Sarah Palin, and all the other people trying to exploit this matter had praised it from the start for what it was: a genuine and well-intentioned effort to combat the ignorance and hatred that had led to 9/11 in the first place? "



Then ignorance and hatred would be marginalized instead of endorsed.

 

First off - it is not a mosque - it is a community center.
Secondly - it is not really very near the former site of the WTC.
Thirdly - Islam is no better or worse of a religion when it comes to doing evil shit than any other.

Also - I despise when people call it 'ground zero'.

You all couldn't possibly know, but I used to work as a consultant for one of the big investment houses, and I had space that I used to work in at WTC7 (the one that was demolished after the towers fell for some inexplicable reason). Had I not taken a day off, I would have been there too.

 

Theres already a mosque right beside ground zero. Been there for decades.

 

Muslims pray inside the Pentagon too..

 

They also remained strikingly silent on Dr. Lura's resignation over her argument with a white woman caller about her black husband. I heard an excerpt, the good Doctor is heard saying "******, ******, ******...." repeatedly. It sounded like, for some reason, she just lost her mind, right in the middle of her call in show. That was really weird, like a little kid on the playground at school taunting another kid. This beat out the "nappy headed hoe" comment from the "I Man" a couple of years ago.

I think we're seeing the true colors of the conservative movements across America. Through their "non-whites welcome" signs, we're beginning to see the disclaimer..."only on election day."

Sarah Palin actually on twitter came out in strong support of Dr. Jackass.

 

How can anyone support that behavior?

I've never been interested in Tweets, but I might be interested in getting Sarah Pain's. Do you know how?

Thank you. They call me a bigot now from around Queens; at least if I make a good counter deal on perogi's or, was it frozen dumplings.

In Time Square there is nothing but tolerant Obama-like free speech. People love to claim the American Single DOllar disappearing is the hope for God's future.:eggnog:

 

A politician using Twitter?.. i really dont approve of this..

 

there's another bunch of bigots in southern california:
