Think we have gone nuts yet

I've seen that guy and that video. He's spot on as usual.
I wondered if the trade unions in NYC would participate in the build.

I didn't re-watch the video, so I don't remember if this info is in there BUT - the proposed name for this insult is The Cordova Center - named after the the mosque they built in Spain 100s of years ago when they took over that country. This is not coincidence, but a very direct frontal attack, a foothold, a sign of dominance, not insignificant. It is a kin to raising their flag on our soil in a sign of victory. We'll let them do it in the name of jobs, in the name if diversity, in the name of tolerance. When will it end?

Ground Zero Mosque Project Fuels Heated DebateUpdated: 37 days 10 hours ago

AOL News (May 21) -- Plans to build an Islamic community center and mosque two blocks from New York's ground zero have inflamed passions among supporters of the project and opponents who see it as an offense.

Last week, tea party founding member and conservative commentator Mark Williams turned up the heat when he wrote a blog post titled "Protected: Savage Islam Wants Mosque at Ground Zero -- monument to hijackers, 9/11 a 'positive' thing."

Williams wrote: "The monument would consist of a Mosque for the worship of the terrorists' monkey-god (repeat: 'the terrorists' monkey-god.' if you feel that fits a description of Allah then that is your own deep-seated emotional baggage not mine, talk to the terrorists who use Allah as their excuse and the Muslims who apologize for and rationalize them) and a 'cultural center' to propagandize for the extermination of all things not approved by their cult."

A 13-story mosque and Islamic community center is slated to be built where this building stands near ground zero in New York. The building was closed after it was damaged in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The original post is protected by a password, which readers can sleuth out by buying a copy of Williams' book, flipping to Page 81 and typing in the first word of the quote from Ayatollah Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr. Otherwise, The Huffington Post has reproduced part of it.

The 13-story complex would include a 500-seat auditorium, a swimming pool, art exhibition spaces, bookstores, restaurants and a space for prayer that could accommodate 2,000 people. The $100 million project is the brainchild of two Muslim organizations: the Cordoba Initiative and its sister organization, the American Society for Muslim Advancement.

The Cordoba Initiative website says the project "is about promoting integration, tolerance of difference and community cohesion through arts and culture." The center will be based on "Islamic values in their truest form -- compassion, generosity and respect for all."

On Thursday, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the chairman and founder of the Cordoba Initiative, appeared with city politicians in front of the Burlington Coat Factory building, the future site of the Cordoba House, and denounced Williams' comments as "lies" and "bigotry."

"We condemn terrorists. We recognize it exists in our faith, but we are committed to eradicate it," Rauf said, according to the New York Daily News. "This is about moderate Muslims who intend to be and want to be part of the solution."

Standing with Rauf Thursday were New York City Comptroller John Liu; state Sen. Daniel Squadron, who represents the area; and City Council members Margaret Chin and Robert Jackson. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has called Williams' comments "appalling," also supports the plan.

"Our city's open to anybody, no matter what your religion is," Bloomberg said.

On Wednesday, Williams issued an apology -- to Hindus. He said his comment about a "monkey god" was unintentionally offensive to Hindus who worship Lord Hanuman, an apelike deity.

While Williams, a frequent commentator on cable news networks like Fox and CNN, dramatically fanned the flames of the debate, other objectors, like families of Sept. 11 victims, have raised their voices as well.

"I think it's despicable, and I think it's atrocious that anyone would even consider allowing them to build a mosque near the World Trade Center," Rosemary Cain, whose son George, a firefighter, was killed in the attacks, told the The Associated Press.
 
It's always so nice to hear them talk about:

- integration
- tolerance of difference and community
- cohesion through arts and culture
- compassion
- generosity
- respect for all

Makes me all warm and fuzzy. Next time I visit Afganistan, Pakistan, Eqypt, Iran, or Saudi Arabia - I plan to spend a few extra days visiting some of the larger Catholic, Baptist, and Lutheran Churches and Jewish Synagogues - you know in the name of integration and tolerance. It should be very exciting.
 
Better yet - why don't I show them how excited I too am about tolerance - and do what they did (you know when they were excited about tolerance) and fly a fully loaded 747 right into the center of Mecca - out of respect for their culture.
 
I read the thread over there. That Hunter dude is off his rocker, Using his logic, since the Japanesse never attacked Eureka, MO - I should not be able to honor WWII veterans. Since Hitler never invaded Missouri - I should not speak of German atrocities. Hunter represents the arrogance that NYC is famous for. Since we don't live there - we are second class bumpkins from flyover country. I know it's off topic from this thread and the thread over there - but that guy is messed up.
 
Yep he's a mental giant. What he fails to understand is that if we are not muslims then they would just as soon see us all dead.
 
Just a side note: Amish and Muslams are exempt from the health care legislation. Muslams consider insurance to be gambling...wonder how they handle auto insurance? My guess is no insurance company would insure them as they are all possible car bombers..maybe I could purchase life insurance on a bunch of them with me as beneficiary.
 
I don't see how that can be true. The Saudis are the largest shareholders in many of the world's insurance companies. I guess it's not gambling if you own the game and control the odds.
