Wrong. In my first post on this thread, I clearly said....:roll: It's not us trying to paint all Musliims as terrorists it's your side trying to paint all Muslims as peace loving and tolerant when that is clearly not the case with this specific Imam.
See, I'm intelligent enough to make the distinction, just like I make the distinction between a hate organization and the Christian religion. Albeit it is difficult sometimes what with all the pedophila and homophobia, BUT I do nevertheless because I KNOW that not ALL Christians are pedophiles and homophobic. So tell me, do you also paint Christianty with a broad brush, or the Jews, or the Hindus, or the Buddists, or the Mormons? If not, then why just Islam?.....As Americans, we need to set our hate and fear aside, and make the distinction between the terrorist organization, Al Qaeda who attacked us on 9/11 and a religion that 1.5 billion peaceful Muslims believe in. Otherwise, the 6,537 of our men and women who fought and died along side thousands of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan for their freedom, and the freedoms our constitution protects for all of us here at home, will be in vain and our prejudice and ignorance over this mosque will just be another victory for the terrorists....."
Then what should he build that would please you? A YMCA? A Jesus theme park? A Golden Arches? What?If he wanted to build bridges he would not be building the Mosque.
But Americans who are not Islamist have also said that and a lot more. In fact, the internet is littered with American websites and blogs that go into great detail as to why US foreign policy may have played a role in not only inspiring Al Qaeda to attack the US, but helped to create Al Qaeda. Are you denying these facts or just insulted that an Islamist would dare to think and say what everyone knows? Because that would be a double standard that you once again fail to hold yourself and most Americans accountable to.If he were not an Islamist then he wouldn't have said the U.S. was an accessory to 9-11 and that OBL was made in the USA less than 3 weeks after 9-11, he wouldn't refuse to condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization, and he wouldn't be calling for a Sharia compliant US..
Yes, I would support an Orthodox Catherdral in the heart of downtown Srebrenica, especially if it had a swimming pool, gymnasium, theatres, spa, yoga classes, hair and nail salon, and a day care. After all, what would an Orthodox Cathedral be without all these wonderful things for the community? So how is your argument NOT a fallacy?Really how is it a fallacy? Would you support building an Orthodox Cathedral in or 2 blocks from the town of Srebrenica? It's a simple question and an accurate parrallel to building this Mosque.
It's been nine years since Americans have had any tolerance towards Muslims whatsoever.

Which non-Islamists have called for a Sharia compliant U.S.?But Americans who are not Islamist have also said that and a lot more.
I'm not denying that people say those things, but I am denying that they are facts, because they are not facts they are blame the victim propaganda utilized by the radical left and Islamists. The facts are another matter altogether, we did not create or help to create AQ, AQ was created as a network of front charities and companies financed by wealthy Arabs not the CIA. Likewise I deny that U.S. foreign policy was related to 9-11, it was in fact the Islamist foreign policy of offensive Jihad which was the motivation for 9-11.In fact, the internet is littered with American websites and blogs that go into great detail as to why US foreign policy may have played a role in not only inspiring Al Qaeda to attack the US, but helped to create Al Qaeda. Are you denying these facts or just insulted that an Islamist would dare to think and say what everyone knows?
If non-Islamists who blame the U.S. for 9-11 and refuse to condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization wanted to build a shrine to Islam at ground zero I would most certainly reject it and question their motivations behind such a project.Because that would be a double standard that you once again fail to hold yourself and most Americans accountable to.
Well then you are lacking a little emotion we humans call empathy if you don't see why building an Orthodox Cathedral on the site where Orthodox Christians murdered several thousand innocent Muslim men, women, and children would be offensive and innappropriate.Yes, I would support an Orthodox Catherdral in the heart of downtown Srebrenica, especially if it had a swimming pool, gymnasium, theatres, spa, yoga classes, hair and nail salon, and a day care.

Oh, good, a crazy neocon libertarian thinks the world's second largest religion is only a stone's throw from pure evil, as opposed to standing in its doorway?
It's good to know there are intelligent people like you out there.
It's not clear at all or the Imam would be sitting in Gitmo instead of on a State Department funded trip to the Middle East to discuss the dangers of radicalism in both the West and Islam with Islamic leaders. :roll:While this man has not been directly linked to terrorist activities it is clear that he is part of the problem with Islam today, he is an Islamist not a secular Muslim.
Personally, I find the way some Christians think a woman deserves to be raped if she dresses provocatively and calling for the death penalty for homosexuals, and the murder of abortion doctors very oppressive. If not for our separation of church and state, how long do you think it would take for Christians in this country to prescribe corporal punishment for the non-crimes of homosexuality, adultery, and/or premarital sex? Because it's happend before in this country and there is every indication that's where Christians are heading again were it not for our secular laws acting as a protective barrier.Personally I find the Christian religion to be violent and oppressive at its core but the difference is that all five mainstream sects of Islam still call for capital and/or corporal punishment for the non-crimes of homosexuality, apostasy, adultery, and/or premarital sex.
They are not the only accepted views within mainstream Islam today, because there is no such thing as mainstream Islam. There is no single figure head or leader for Islam like a Pope or a Dali Lama. The Koran can be interpreted many ways and yes, there are those who selectively interpret it to hold power over the uneducated and ignorant believers or to fit their agenda. Just as there are Christian fundamentalists who selectively interpret the bible to fit their agenda in our country.Those are the only accepted views within mainstream Islam today, can you perhaps name the mainstream Christian or Judaic sect which still calls for such things? And I'm not talking about hundreds of years ago I'm talking about the present day. In fact can you name any major religion outside of Islam that still calls for those things?
Yeah, that would be great, especially if you demanded the same from the Jewish, Christian, Buddist, and Hindu community centers as well. But you aren't, instead you only demand of the Imam's community center while trying to deny him the right to practice his own religion on his own property, as well.It would have been nice if he built an actual community center one which offered religious services for all members of the community and held a Jewish synagogue, a Christian church, Buddhist temple, and a Hindu Shrine.
Well, if Americans believe Ground Zero to be so sacred, then how come they haven't a built a memorial there. Like, it's only been nine years and it's still a big gaping hole, that few ever visit except out of morbid curiosity. So where is America's 9/11 memorial, huh? Hell, they don't even want to help the firemen and volunteers pay for their medical bills let alone build a memorial. So sorry, but your concern and compassion for Ground Zero has a very shallow ring.If he really wanted to build bridges and not a victory Mosque he could have built a memorial for the victims of 9-11 which would have actually engendered good will for the Muslim-American community rather than animosity, but only a fool wouldn't have known the backlash building this Mosque would create so to me it's clear what his true motivations are IE giving the proverbial **** you to America.
Which non-Islamists have called for a Sharia compliant U.S.?
Well, you know the old saying, you are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own set of facts. There is plenty of evidence that proves the CIA had a hand in creating and funding Al Qaeda and the reason they attacked the US was because of US influence in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia. Them's the facts....I'm not denying that people say those things, but I am denying that they are facts, because they are not facts they are blame the victim propaganda utilized by the radical left and Islamists.

Hamas? What has Hamas ever done to us and they certainly had nothing to do with 9/11 that the Imam would need to condemn them for.If non-Islamists who blame the U.S. for 9-11 and refuse to condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization wanted to build a shrine to Islam at ground zero I would most certainly reject it and question their motivations behind such a project.

Are you kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me!?! Have you ever heard of Iran-Contra? The USSR-Afghan War? Charlie Wilson's War? How about the following History Channel/National Geographic documentaries, "Inside Afghanistan", "Inside Al-Quaida", "Inside Iraq" or "Charlie Wilson's War: The Documentary"? Every one of those documentaries outline in full detail our nation's involvement in shaping foreign policy, recruitment, training, or supplying of "parties of foreign interest" with money or arms who we thought would best serve our foreign policy interest in the Middle-East, as well as, in Isreal. Anyone who thinks we've just been sitting on the sidelines twittling our thumbs looking like altar boys is in desperate need of a frontal labotomy!!! :shock: I would highly recommend you look for any of those documentaries and watch them very carefully!I'm not denying that people say those things, but I am denying that they are facts, because they are not facts they are blame the victim propaganda utilized by the radical left and Islamists.

No, the U.S. didn't create Al-Quaida. That was Osama Bin Laden's doing. But we've been interferring in Isreali/Middle-East/Arab affairs since the Nixon administration (atleast since 1973).
Still, I ask you how is it that these radical Muslims came to be so pissed off at us in the first place? I mean, think about it...
Until the first bombing of the World Trade Center, the Muslim world left us well enough alone.
Why did they start getting so pissed off at us all of a sudden?
What changed their attitudes?
And saying they've always been mad at us doesn't count.
In the 50's, 60's and 70's, the U.S. was afraid of the spread of Communism. We didn't give a damn about this so-called "big threat of Islam spreading across the world".
But now it's suppose to be this big threat that's been resting on the fringes for centuries like some tyrannical sleeping giant. Well, guess what...some have said the same thing about the spread of Christianity. Oh, wait...this nation did get it's start with it's discovery by Christopher Columbus, and part of his mandate was to spread Christianity to the natives from the Spanish Queen. Hmmm...
And when did Middle-Eastern/Arab Muslims become so envious of the liberties we hold so dear?
No religion is secular. Duh. The Imam isn't the problem, Newt Gingrich and the radical right are the problem.It couldn't be more clear, he wants a Sharia compliant U.S., it is not illegal to call for Sharia, but he is not a secular Muslim he is an Islamist he is part of the problem.
You're more radical than the Imam, so that makes you part of the problem.And I really don't give a **** what the DOS of a POTUS who just had the head of an organization listed as unindicted terrorist co-conspirators over for dinner does. This man calls for Sharia he is an Islamist and part of the problem.
LOL By the looks of it, you deal more in radical right wing hypocricy and denile, than you do in factual evidence....You are an out and out liar, apostasy, homosexuality, pre-marital sex, and apostasy have never been capital or corporal offenses in this country. And I don't deal in what if's, the fact is not a single mainsream Christian sect calls for any of that, but within mainstream Islam today those are the only accepted views. Those are the facts, something which you apparently don't have a lot of experience with.
So name an Ulama that is the head honcho of all Islam?Try the Ulama.
It's true, I don't claim or pretend to be an Ulama like you do.You simply have no clue whatosever about what you're talking about.
Hmm, so tell me Mullah Ferris, what is the difference between Islamism and Islam?...in all five schools of Islamic Fiqh (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali, and Ja'fari) the Ijma (consensus decision) of the Ulama is that apostasy, sodomy, homosexuality, and/or premarital sex are capital and/or corporal offenses. These are the only accepted views within mainstream Islam today. This is not radical Islam, or fundamentalist Islam, or Islamism, it is mainstream Islam, there is no other Islam today save for Sufism which is seen as heretical by the rest of Islam.
Well, if we use your logic then we should blame Conservatives for the Oklahoma City bombing since they share the same anti-government ideology as Timothy McVeigh.Only on sites in which their shared ideological adherents kill 3,000 people.
Well, you must live in a very oppressed society if you think a swimming pool and a gymnasium and theatres are celebrations of oppression.It's not a Community Center, it will not be offering religious services to other members of the community therefore it is a victory Mosque built to celebrate the successful 9-11 attacks and the oppressive ideololgy which is Islam.
LOL Obviously you don't know either, or you would have said how much financial compensation they got. But you didn't, did you? .......lol, what? Do you know how much the injured firemen and the families of those firemen who were killed got in financial compensation? Obviously not.
Whats so disgusting about building a swimming pool and a gymnasium and theaters? And how does that burn bridges? I really don't understand your thinking.They don't need to build anything, the fact that they chose to build a victory Mosque is disgusting. They don't want to build bridges they want to burn them.
<sigh> Yes, it did. The article was very well sourced. If you disagree with the evidence, then show me your evidence that disproves it.A) Your article claims that the U.S. funded the foreign Jihadists and not just the indiginioius Afghan mujahadeen but offers absolutely nothing in the way of evidence for this assertion, provide evidence or it didn't happen.
WTF, are you talking about now? I didn't say anything about Iraq, so apparently you have a serious reading comprehension disorder.B) If you actually believe that defending the Kingdom from Iraq was Casus Belli for the 9-11 attacks then you have serious issues.
Oh, so finally you are admitting that OBL isn't a mainstream Islamic and you admit there is a distinction between OBL, the jihadist and Imam Rahn, who only wants to build a community center. Gawd, it took long enough.What you don't understand is that OBL is a Qutbist and a Wahhabist and wishes to replace all world governments with theocratic Islamic governments based on puritannical Islam with the Koran as the Constitution through offensive jihad in order to fight the spread of jahiliyya.
Hamas has never done anything to the US, so why should the Imam have to condemn them? I think you're just looking for excuses to hate someone because you're too cowardly to admit you hate yourself.They have killed several Americans in their terrorist attacks against Israel, are you trying to assert that Hamas shouldn't be condemned as a terrorist organization? This man was asked several times in a radio interview if Hamas was a terrorist organization and refused to answer in the affirmative.
Thats right, I have no empathy for your antedotal fallacy. But if you had a shred of empathy you would stop your hateful nonsense against an innocent man who has done nothing to you or this country except try to do good.If you had a shred of empathy you would not support building an Orthodox Cathedral at Srebrenica or a Mosque at Ground Zero.
No religion is secular. Duh. The Imam isn't the problem, Newt Gingrich and the radical right are the problem.
You're more radical than the Imam, so that makes you part of the problem.
LOL By the looks of it, you deal more in radical right wing hypocricy and denile, than you do in factual evidence....

The mosque in ground Zero.
This is how the inside group rules this country.
They have a false flag terror attack on 911 to justify their war in Mid-east. The Muslim is wronged as terrorist. Then they build a Mosque in WTO site to show how tolerant and fair they are. That's a trick of propaganda.
Is that funny people flock to argue about "Allah", "victim of 911"....? The real mastermind of the 911 grins at the soap opera they directed.
I'm pretty sure I said, "no religion is secular" before you did. Yes the Iman is a theocrat as are most clergy of any given faith and in this country it is a protected right. Is that a problem for you?Christianity can't be secular, Islam can't be secular, Christians and Muslims can be secular, this man is not a secular Muslim he is a theocrat.
Apparently it is a problem for you. However, not supporting theocracy doesn't make you any less a radical than the Imam.I don't support theocracy so fail.
So? The point is, death penalty laws for adultery and buggery were on the books in the US. And no, I don't have to jump through another one of your hoops to prove you wrong because once was suffcient.It doesn't say when that law was on the books and your own article states:
"In the years following independence from Britain, the death penalty was gradually removed from the former colonial laws."
They were seldom if ever enforced. How about you list the last time somebody was prosecuted and sentenced to anything outside of a fine for consensual sexual intercourse with a person of the same gender.
Again, the point is, some American Christians are indeed calling for the death penalty for homosexuals. But you are swimming in denile so here is your quote...Uganda? Really scraping the bottom of the barrel aren't we? A) This Uganda bill hasn't passed, B) your second article is a blog and I don't see anywhere in the screen caps of the lobbying report where it says what the blog says it says, and C) your wiki article actually demonstrates that the American Evangelicals have in fact said they oppose the law, perhaps you can find me a quote in which they endorse that law? I know they're homophobic Christ punchers but to my knowledge they haven't called for the criminilzation of homosexuality.
You've stalled long enough, so name the Ulamas for all five sects of Islam.Name the head honcho of all of Christianity. There are 5 different sects of Islam each with their own Ulama's, however, the Ijma (consensus opinion) in all five sects (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali, and Ja'fari) is that adpostasy, sodomy, adultery, and/or pre-marital sex are capital and/or corporal offenses.
Ahh, you could have fooled me with your incredible expanse of knowledge of Islam. So if you're not an Ulama then you most certainly would qualify as a Mullah, Mr. Ferris Mullah.I'm not the Ulama, the Ulama is the authoritative councils within the 5 sects of Islamic Fiqh which determine Islamic dogma.
Okay, so you know what Islamism is, but you failed to tell me the difference between Islamism and Islam. I can only assume you did so because then you would have to make a clear distinction between the political Islamists and the religious Islamics and you know damn well that the Imam is an religious Islamic and not an political Islamist.Islamism is political Islam, IE an Islamist is a Muslim who supports theocratic initiatives; such as, the implementation of Sharia law.
No you wouldn't, because you're a radical political hypocrit just like most of your ilk.I would certainly be opposed to building a militia headquarters next to the site of the OKC bombing.
Nah, you're just having your little fun at someone's else's expense. You use that Southern Strategy of yours and wield it like a club to bash whatever flavor of race or ethnicty of the week or month that suits your fuqin political agenda. This week it's Muslims, last month it was Mexicans, before that it was blacks, whose next, Asians, Jews, Samoans, what?No I think a shrine to an ideology which supports the criminilzation of apostasy, homosexuality, adultery, and pre-mariital sex along with gender discrimination celebrates oppression.
Well goody for you, now provide a link so that I may see it too.I do actually, actual victims of 9-11 have already been financially compensated with appx. $3.5 million going to each civilian killed or seriously inured and $4.6 million going to each first responder killed or seriously injured.
Apparently they don't or they wouldn't have gotten that $3.5 million you mentioned above. Thats why you need to provide a link, boy.And as employees of the city they have some of the best health insurance in the country.
Lovely. It's going to look like a victory mega funeral parlor. And to think they're going to spend all that money and take the next 10 years to build that POS knowing full well that hardly anyone will visit because lets face it, it just won't be the same without the giant grotesque hole to satisfy people's morbid curiosity, now will it?.....
Yes Virginia, they are planning to build a swimming pool, gym and theaters as well a separate floors for Muslims to pray.They aren't building a swimming pool, theaters, and a gymnasium, they are building a Mosque. If this is a community center when will they be offering religious services for non-Muslim members of the community?
Well hunny bunny, they didn't just pull all that information out of their arse if thats what you're implying. So if you want more detailed information then start a new thread and together we can do the all the fact finding and research your little heart desires. :roll:No your article quotes other articles that don't provide evidence for their assertions it does not provide one solitary scrap of evidence that the CIA funded these madrassas in which these foreign Jihadists were trained. No documentation, no quotes from CIA officials, nothing, zip, zero, except baseless speculation. Apparently an article quoting a journalist without any evidence = well sourced. :roll:
Yeah, thats what I said alright.That is the "American Influence in Saudi Arabia," cited by OBL as justification for murdering Americans.
See my previous reply to your failure to define the difference between Islamist and Islamic. And you are wrong, the Imam is going to build a community center no matter how much you stomp your little feetsy's.The difference is in degree not in kind both Imam Rauf and OBL support Sharia based theocracy. And Rauf isn't building a community center, this is a victory Mosque that will not be offering religious services to any other members of the community.
Well dang, then why didn't America invade Hamas and bomb the crap out them like they did Iraq? Oh thats right, the US insisted the Palestinians hold an election that helped to put Hamas in power. Oooopsie.Except kill Americans.
Hamas doesnt think they're terrorists, instead they think they're defending their homes and land and I haveta tell ya, 95% of the world thinks so too. So there ya go, nuff said.Because Hamas is a terrorist organization that intentionally murders innocent men, women, and children.
Well, what do you think about the good reverend Franklyn Graham supporting a genocidal maniac because now get this, he finds him "reasonable?"Has the Sudanese government ever attacked the U.S.? What would you think of someone who refused to denounce the Sudanese government for their acts of genocide?
Nope, you are seriously mistaken in your radical beliefs and you are no different than a Goebbels in your repetitive use of hate propaganda to scapegoat a minority in this country for your political agenda.He is not innocent of those things which I have accused him of, he has not broken any laws, but he is an Islamist POS attempting to build a victory Mosque at Ground Zero.
This would cause me to begin to respect Islam just a tiny bit if this turns out to be true.

You've stalled long enough, so name the Ulamas for all five sects of Islam.

Okay, so you know what Islamism is, but you failed to tell me the difference between Islamism and Islam. I can only assume you did so because then you would have to make a clear distinction between between the political Islamists and the religious Islamics and you know damn well that the Imam is an religious Islamic and not an political Islamist.
No you wouldn't, because you're a radical political hypocrit just like most of your ilk.
Nah, you're just having your little fun at someone's else's expense. You use that Southern Strategy of yours and wield it like a club to bash whatever flavor of race or ethnicty of the week or month that suits your fuqin political agenda. This week it's Muslims, last month it was Mexicans, before that it was blacks, whose next, Asians, Jews, Samoans, what?
Well goody for you, now provide a link so that I may see it too.
But a lack of coordination led to disparities in compensation. Civilians killed or seriously injured received a total of $8.7 billion, averaging about $3.1 million per recipient, coming mostly from the Victims' Compensation Fund.
Before the government's creation of the Fund, charities awarded an average of $1 million to the families of first responders — firefighters, police and medical workers — who died in the attack. That meant they received an average of $1.1 million more than average civilians with similar economic losses. Had the charities known about the other sources of compensation, they might have chosen to allocate their funds differently, Dixon said.

Apparently they don't or they wouldn't have gotten that $3.5 million you mentioned above. Thats why you need to provide a link, boy.
Lovely. It's going to look like a victory mega funeral parlor. And to think they're going to spend all that money and take the next 10 years to build that POS knowing full well that hardly anyone will visit because lets face it, it just won't be the same without the giant grotesque hole to satisfy people's morbid curiosity, now will it?.....
"About 99% of the world's population will never visit the site," said Bruce Polderman, a product manager for Google Earth, a satellite imagery-based mapping program which created the dimensionally accurate 3D model.....

Yes Virginia, they are planning to build a swimming pool, gym and theaters as well a separate floors for Muslims to pray.
Well hunny bunny, they didn't just pull all that information out of their arse if thats what you're implying. So if you want more detailed information then start a new thread and together we can do the all the fact finding and research your little heart desires. :roll:
Yeah, thats what I said alright.
See my previous reply to your failure to define the difference between Islamist and Islamic.
And you are wrong, the Imam is going to build a community center no matter how much you stomp your little feetsy's.
Well dang, then why didn't America invade Hamas and bomb the crap out them like they did Iraq? Oh thats right, the US insisted the Palestinians hold an election that helped to put Hamas in power. Oooopsie.
Hamas doesnt think they're terrorists, instead they think they're defending their homes and land and I haveta tell ya, 95% of the world thinks so too. So there ya go, nuff said.
Well, what do you think about the good reverend Franklyn Graham supporting a genocidal maniac because now get this, he finds him "reasonable?"
Nope, you are seriously mistaken in your radical beliefs and you are no different a Goebbels in your repetitive use of hate propaganda to scapegoat a minority for your political agenda.
in all five schools of Islamic Fiqh (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali, and Ja'fari) the Ijma (consensus decision) of the Ulama is that apostasy, sodomy, homosexuality, and/or premarital sex are capital and/or corporal offenses. These are the only accepted views within mainstream Islam today. This is not radical Islam, or fundamentalist Islam, or Islamism, it is mainstream Islam, there is no other Islam today save for Sufism which is seen as heretical by the rest of Islam.

You're absolutely correct. The "hug-a-Muslim" crowd can't seem to grasp one utter simplicity:
Appeal to emotion.
What they do there, has no bearing on Muslims here. If a muslim ever tried to impose such a thing here, I would stop them. Otherwise they are free to believe where and what they want.
YOU would stop them ???? If so, why didn't you stop some of the honor killings that are starting to show up around here.
That's sort of different.
That's an individual action... a barbaric one. But let's say Muslims tried to make honor killings law.... Well Nah ah.
So Gill since you I don't have any answers at all... what do you propose we do? Deport all muslims because they might commit an honor killing?
I suggest you clean your own house before trying to clean someone elses......You're absolutely correct. The "hug-a-Muslim" crowd can't seem to grasp one utter simplicity:
