Rex Murphy: Testing America’s tolerance

[wombat2u2004]

I am not being HATEFUL AS YOU LIKE TO PUT IT KAREN. Everyone else can come on here & speak their peace. 911 should just be ignored it was a big mistake. We are called Infidels lets just ignore that. The real men & women are fighting a war the rest of us can just sit around & twiddling our thumbs while our government plays chess with our men & women fighting the war. Checkmate!

No Bonny, you are not being hateful. You are just frustrated at the inability of your elected pollies and the apathetic majority who choose to sweep the silent invasion under the mat.
And a silent invasion it is. Just take a look around the world, and see what Islam has done to other countries. Persecuting Christians is written right there in the Koran.....go read it.....it's got some REAL interesting stuff in it.
But.....we are hit time and time again by the old "Mars Attacks" routine..."We come in peace...We come in peace".
Islam HATES America, and HATES what it stands for....always has.
I'll give the good old USA about 20 or 30 years, enough time for the Muslim immigrants and their breeding habits to get the numbers up, and vote their own into power. Then the Constitution and it's Amendments, including your own Separation of the Powers won't be worth the paper they are written on. You will have Sharia Law, and your country will be run accordingly. There will be no Freedom of Religion....if you are Christian or anything else other than Muslim, you will be disadvantaged.

I think where Karen goes wrong, is where she states "One of the founding principles of our country is separation of church and state, and every American is free to pursue the religion of his or her choice."
It's all about integration.
Are Scandanavian people allowed to marry Jews and each retain their own religion ??? Yes.
Are Mexican Catholics allowed to marry a WASP's, and each retain their own religion ??? Yes.
Are Muslims allowed to marry Christians and each retain their own religion ???
No!!!

You mean Maaahhh, maaah, maaaah, maaaah.

Something gets lost in the translation.


Jim Brown's "GF" in the movie was hot.

Awwwwwwwwwww....yeah.

[RICHARD]

That depends,
The males don't care, Mexican women will wear you down until you become a Catholic.

And you know what that means? Making your own tortillas and lunch if you do not knuckle under....

This topic has really nothing to do with religion or church and state.

It has to do with compassion and sensibility.

There are components of both sides that have neither.

As the media and people here have commented...

Would we allow the Japanese to put a Shinto Shrine on the deck of the USS Arizona?

Would the Jews be allowed a synagogue at Auschwitz?

Would we put a McDonalds or Starbucks in Hiroshima or Nagasaki? We probably already have.....

This has to do with respect and not wanting to make YOUR religion/country or politics seem like an uncaring, brutal and just plain mean and nasty import to our country.

The Asshat that wants to build the mosque close to GZ shows no compassion or any of the other common senses that I described, that is the way, not so much of the typical Muslim, but of the AHs refuse to allow modern sensibility or meeting at the middle point of the problem.

I have know muslims that were so patently pious, but did not respect the people or the country (ours) that they live in.

SOME muslim men beat down the females to dress a certain way, not to talk to men etc. Yet, they have no problem with cheating, looking at porn or drinking like fish.

Those are the two faced morons who cast a bad light on the rest of the group that do have compassion, common sense and respect for other people.

On the other hand?

When the reports of the Anti-mosque groups begin to pull some kind of shenanigans before, during and after it's built?

Well, TS, some of us asked you not to build there our of respect for the moment and area.

You didn't listen, so bite the bullet.

They (the idiots that feel the need to build the mosque) will use any and all problems they encounter as fodder to crucify us in the world forum of public opinion.

I know that sponsors of the mosque snicker and laugh because OUR rules allow them to build, what is essentially an EFF U to what we endured then and now.

So,
We'll have to play by the rules concerning this building, but we should not treat them with anymore apathy than we do with other sites that recruit, endorse or support any kind of fanatic terrorist morons that want to set up shop.


Plus, the Muslims that think this is a bad idea have not come forth to say, "Dude, some morons that made us look stupid then are the reason we
are being told that we should not build a mosque in the area...'


So we have to look at this as more of a political statement-not a religious one.

I am sure there are some Muslims that cringe when they heard the news.....I don't care about them. It's the Iman Imax Tabbouleh that makes me a little leary of the whole process.

Sometimes you just cannot trust the guy in charge, Look at the Catholics and the priests...

What I don't understand is why they're so insistent on the mosque being there and not somewhere else. They say that it should promote compassion and understanding and should build a bridge between their culture and ours. Well, surely they can see that it's caused a furor, that too many Americans oppose it and do not want it. So it's having the opposite effect. Yes, we already know that it's their right to build there but this is more than just an issue of rights. The fact that they refuse to back down and build it elsewhere, especially when there are over 100 mosques in NYC already, it makes me wonder what their real agenda is.

Must be us Ohioians...as I see it like ^^ does.

[RICHARD]

And the prez shoots his piehole off and spends the rest of the weekend backpedaling, like the guy who rides a bicycle backwards at the circus.

"That's not what I meant!"

LOLOLOLOL,

Just open up a dialogue with your enemies. While you are at the table talking, the other side has broken the side window of your car parked outside and taken a dump on the front seat.

Mr Obama,

You can drive the car back home, I am taking the bus.

You're halfway around the world. How, exactly does this affect you at all?

It doesn't..........but you know, just like you, I have freedom of speech.

[lizbud]

It doesn't personally affect me either, I live in Indiana, but I also have a opinion about it.
