For discussion sake, what would happen if the Kabala at Mecca was destroyed?
The need to add Constitution Day's Holy BBQ City of Wilson to their list.
Still nothing...
Love it. Dead-on.
Every time I see the video from that s**thole and see these vermin dancing around and thumping their little Arab chests, I just think "Don't you DARE talk to me about 'holiness' as you wave that damned gun and booby trap your own "holy" shrines, you miserable piece of walking excrement!"
It's in my sent file so it must be floating around in the cyber ether somewhere.
Knowing nothing about it, I couldn't say. If there was one for Scientology, then I'd know they had passed the limits.
I think we need the Holy MOAB of Najaf to make a few holy relics of Mookie.
..."...Islam so suffuses the lives of Muslims throughout the Middle East and elsewhere, they are utterly blind and indifferent to the fact that it has consigned them to backwardness, poverty, and the mercy of whoever is in charge."...
That is why it is so revealing that Muslims sit silently by while strongmen like Sadr and Zarqawi bring back dictatorial rule. I would expect a country sick of a tyrant like Saddam would recognize a "New Tyrant" IMMEDIATELY and do something to prevent another Saddam.
Instead, many Iraqis have chosen to sit back and watch the fight, as if they had no stake in the outcome and were watching a soccer match.
Their future is at stake, and they treat the entire scenario as "Inshallah" (It is god's will).
For expressing the above, I have been banned from posting to some Iraq blogs.
the holy city of scientology is Hollywood.
Hmmm, assuming we destroyed it in this hypothetical, I could see the muslim world uniting into a frenzy against us, turning the entire US into another Israel, our gas being cut off, and chaos ensues.
You think they would still have to face east 3 times a day?
Well here in Tennessee they think barbecue is pork. Having grown up in Louisiana, I know that real barbecue is beef.
Worse in a most irreverant ritual they put cole slaw on barbecue sandwiches defiling both in the process.
Keep talking like that and we'll have to launch a jihad on you. Everyone knows that the Barbecue God smiles on all his children, and while beef and pork are his favored ones the blessings of a good barbecue sauce can be bestowed on lamb and chicken as well.
I agree media hype and political correctness is behind this.
But, there's another reason. Christian holy cities -- like Jerusalem, Rome, Salt Lake City and Moscow -- have a lot more going for them than merely being religious centers. Thus you can't call Rome "holy" because many parts of it are not.
Muslim holy cities are basically a mosque and a place of pilgrimage. Nothing else.
Well I live in the Holy City of Cumming. I'm just going to shrine it off right now. And I am the Cleric. Stay out, infidels!
Only Muslims should be addressing the city as "holy". The media continually calling it that are recognizing the holiness of the city when most of them believe themselves as a god.
I will recognize that city as holy only when Christ Himself walks its streets blessing it. Until then, its a rathole crawling with terrorists.
Unlike Westerners, Arabs do NOT consider mere buildings to be "holy;" in fact, there's a large article in the Wall Street Journal of a couple days ago about the difficulties experienced by those trying to preserve the Arab "heritage" by preserving historic buildings.
Muslims consider it idolatry to attach any particular siginficance to a mere building, so this "respect" for Muslim "shrines" is purely a creation of we ignorant Westerners.
Them's fightin' words, blasphemer.
Prepare for the Imam of the Most Holy Pork Shrine of Wilbur's to issue a fatwa on you!
Porku Akbar!! Aiiaiiaiiaii!!
Imagine if a gang of crazies armed to the teeth took over a church or a synagogue over here and threatened to blow it up. The "holiness" of that building wouldn't keep anyone from storming it. And the western world would not see it as an attack on the whole faith either.
