The Tolerant Pose
NRO ^ | August 17, 2010 | Andrew C. mcCarthy

Posted on 08/17/2010 9:29:59 AM PDT by Darkwolf377

Non-Muslims are barred from entering the cities of Mecca and Medina — not merely barred from building synagogues or churches, but barred, period, because their infidel feet are deemed unfit to touch the ground. This is not an al-Qaeda principle. Nor is it an “Islamist” principle. It is Islam, pure and simple.

We should never have allowed mosques to be built in the USA unless churches and synagogs could be built in Saudi Arabia.

If (the president's) resolve to defend religious freedom were truly unshakable, the last thing he would endorse is the construction of a gigantic monument to intolerance in a place where bigots devastated a city they have repeatedly targeted because of the pluralism and freedom it symbolizes.

Wouldn’t an infidel be summarily executed if they went to a holy city? I’m starting to think Ann Coulter was on to something...

I´ve been to the Embassy of the Saudi´s in 4 countries trying to visit, and they said I have NO BUSINESS there, they don´t want me to come. I was told that DEFINITELY if I got a visit, I would NOT be permitted to visit Mecca. Is there anyone out there in CyberSpace that is confused about the REAL purpose of their mission¿

“I’m starting to think Ann Coulter was on to something...”

I asked Ann to marry me but she’s obviously been too busy to accept my offer. :-)

The president may not have noticed, but the commitment of the Saudis and the Muslim Brotherhood to religious intolerance is utterly unshakable.

Absolutely true. And lest we forget:

The name already chosen for the Mosque, “Cordoba,” tells us everything we need to know. It is a clear and distinct reference to the conquest of Spain by Islam. Cordoba was captured in 711 AD. By 717 the conquest of the Spanish peninsula was nearly complete and Cordoba was declared the capital of a new Arabic nation, Al-Andalus, in 717. By 756 all of Spain was ruled by Islam except for the tiny, mountainous region of Asturias.

It took Islam less than a decade to establish a foothold. Fifty years to conquer all of Hispania. Spain was not free of Islamic rule until Granada was recaptured in 1492.

Do the math folks. It took nearly EIGHT CENTURIES to wrest Spain away from the Muslims (an effort started by the Asturians). So now we figure one little mosque on the island of Manhattan is no big deal. A simple exercise in religious freedom.

Merely the name of the mosque indicates its intended purpose. The Muslims know their history. Do we?

The Christian says: "I have the Cross!"
The Jew says: "I have the Torah!"

The Muslim says: "I got a rock."

We live in a time where the average attention span seems to be measured in seconds.

The Islamists plan to act in centuries.

I’m just glad they allow Red Lobster in Bahrain. I loves me some cheddar biscuits.

“The Islamists plan to act in centuries.”

Exactly right, and they will take over eventually without a shot being fired, just by moving in and making babies, just like a virus.

Mecca and Medina need to be purified with pig blood.

As for non-muslims going there? What self-respecting “infidel” would bother traveling into that dead zone?

Why didn’t Obama use his speech to the Muslim world (exactly what that was the other day) to...

... ask for tolerance of Christians. Christians are murdered every day because of their faith in Muslim countries.

And where are the feminists and gays from the left? If this were, say, a Christian church saying women should not work or go to school and stoning is acceptable punishment for adultery or that all gays and lesbians should be killed they’d be lined up with protest signs around the block!

But multiculturalism means we can’t “judge” any other culture (except our own, I suppose) and they remain silent. So real oppression and murder is tolerated while perceived slights here result in massive demonstrations.
Irony?
