A group of prominent Muslim community leaders in metro Atlanta voiced concerns Friday over U.S.-led raids on several mosques in Iraq. They said the raids violated the sanctity of the religious sites.
"There was no concern given to places of worship," said Amjad Taufique, a board member of Masjid Al-Hedaya in Marietta. "It's hurtful. . . . It's causing a lot of friction in the Muslim community."
Snip...
Imam Plemon El-Amin of the Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam compared the outrage many Muslims feel about the raids to what African-Americans felt after the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four young black girls.
"At some point during the 1960s, churches were under attack and the people who actually perpetrated the attack felt that they were justified because that's where the boycotts and sit-ins were being organized," El-Amin said. He stressed, however, that he does not condone insurgents turning mosques into "any kind of fortress."

Get a load of this.
Take the leaders names and red flag them.
Those aren't young black girls in those mosques. Those are Black Panthers, if you insist on using the metaphor.
Where was the outrage when they were cutting off infidel heads?
Does anyone at all not understand what's going on? How there are zero moderate mooselimbs? They are 100% out to hurt infidels.

I hate it when people who flee their own culture come into another and give their best shot to praise the very culture that led to their ousting. Must be some kind of syndrome. We must make them aware of it. That's probably the only way these people will know they are sick in the mind.
Good spot on the phone number!
BUMP
A native Atlantan and graduate of Harvard University, he converted to the religion of Al-Islam in 1974.
Which makes his statements all the more disgusting.
If only they had expressed this much outrage over 9/11.
Or when their neighbor, Jack Hensley, had his head sawed off.
F'in bast*rds.
I understand portions of the Southern Sahara are grossly under populated....
Yep, add 'em to the target list, for sure.
In the interest of fairness, this group did denounce Mr. Hensley's beheading...
MARIETTA, Ga., Sept. 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Metro-Atlanta Muslims and Muslim organizations, including Marietta's Masjid Al- Hedaya (Islamic center of Marietta), the Islamic Speakers Bureau (ISB), the Council on American-Islamic Relations of North Georgia (CAIR-NGA), and other Georgia mosques will hold an interfaith service at 7 p.m. in Marietta Square for Jack Hensley, a construction worker from that city recently murdered in Iraq.
Masjid Al-Hedaya, ISB and CAIR-NGA recently launched a campaign called "Not in the Name of Islam," designed to disassociate Islam from the violent acts of a few Muslims. Advertisements were published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Marietta Daily Journal on September 11th of this year.
The advertisements stated:
"We, the undersigned Muslims, wish to state clearly that those who commit acts of terror, murder and cruelty in the name of Islam are not only destroying innocent lives, but are also betraying the values of the faith they claim to represent. No injustice done to Muslims can ever justify the massacre of innocent people, and no act of terror will ever serve the cause of Islam. We repudiate and dissociate ourselves from any Muslim group or individual who commits such brutal and un-Islamic acts. We refuse to allow our faith to be held hostage by the criminal actions of a tiny minority acting outside the teachings of both the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him."
When will the mission to attack Atlanta Mosques come up. I have a holy site in my yard. A big rock that I throw my sins at.
If they voiced some concerns over beheadings we might possibly listen to them.
We have to remember that it is the Left, our homegrown socialist b@st#rds, that taught these fascists the game. They are using the tactics of the Commu-fascist Left to defeat us. The same slobs who blame America first are aliies of these fifth-columnists.
I have no doubt in my mind that the fascist Left has gotten into bed with the islamic fundamentalists for the sole purpose of defeating the right, but what they don't realize is; After defeating the right, the islamics will then turn on the left and eat them too.
Someone please tell these people to shut up. We blasted every church steeple in Normandy and Germany that was used for military purposes and we did it without hesitation. We carpet bombed Cologne and Dresden and we did it without hesitation. In fact, the Queen of England is going to a benefit concert in Berlin to raise money to complete the repairs of a cathedral in Cologne the British destroyed in WWII.
I say, we back the Iraqi's with massive air and ground firepower, let the Iraqis clean out the armaments and explosives hidden in mosques and clinics. If they get shot at by their own people, pull the Iraqi troops back and annihilate the entire structure. We would only have to do it a couple of times to get the point across. Then the Iraqis could do their job of making safe, the sick streets of Fallujah.
These boys are in the wrong state, wrong town.
Boo-friggin-hoo.
A few pings.

Damn straight. That's what I said in the polite voice mail I left them.

Five Churches, Hospital Bombed in Baghdad
Those pesky nuisance terrorists are at it again....
This is something I have been waiting on. Lots of african-americans have converted. Whos side are they on?
Places of worship? I thought these funny shaped buildings were ammo dumps and staging areas for insurgements. Maybe terror is their equivalent of communion. Perhaps we should destroy the mosques instead of just returning fire! Think that would upset these guys even more?

"No injustice done to Muslims can ever justify the massacre of innocent people,"
ALL of their "condemnations" Have a line like the one quoted above. ALL of them.
When terrorists hide weapons and use mosques as military headquarters, they are fair game. The circular dome makes a good siting target for gunships!
I agree with you. War is hell and people seem to have forgot WWII and what we did to win, what we had to do, what was just and right to do.
Anyone know the GPS coordinates of the Atlanta mosque to send to our military for the next bombing run?
You know, I'd give American based Muslims complaining about raids on mosques in Iraq more credibility if they would show even a scintilla of compassion and concern for AMERICA!
They come here and REAP the benefits and then they HATE us for their own freedoms.
I've known low-self esteemed girls with promiscuous attitudes who get treated better than that!
That is the main reason that I can only conclude that they support terror. There are at least 100 times as many "Moo-lahs" who preach terror in the mosques as those who speak up against it. And there are many more who remain silent. And this is in Western countries. In Muslim countries, essentially, none of them speak against terror.
Imagine if there were one Christian religious leader in the US who told his followers to kill Muslims. The "outrage" would be echoing for centuries....and looking at history, this is the case.
Turn around Pastor - you're preaching to the choir!
By the way, AMEN brother!
Did they decry 9/11? Did they decry Beslan? The blood stained earth cries out for retribution!
Why don't these bozos 'decry' the terrorists, the beheading, kidnapings, tortures and etc?
Muslims or Idol worshippers?
Many of us to this day do not fall for Prophet Muhammad's lies. He claimed that he knew nothing about religion, yet the Qur'an has lots of copycat material. Many of the writings in it confirm the fact that he was a Jesus wanna be. The fact is that Jesus, not Muhammad, had already preached to us about submitting to God. All Muhammad did, was that, he took context from the bible and changed it around.
Muhammad's biography claims that he was illiterate, bull
how can a statesman and ruler be illiterate? He claims to have known nothing about religion, bull
how the hell would he know whom the angel Gabriel was. For instance, the appearance of the angel Gabriel to Muhammad is a story too much like the appearance of Gabriel to Mary and how Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth. There is of course one difference; Mary was pure when God chose her. Muhammad was not.
The truth is that Muhammad, like a snake, went into a cave named Hira' and for three years wrote out a religious business plan. This business plan would make him richer. He knew all the time what he was doing. His plan involved taking advantage of ignorant idol worshippers, to get his business up and running. He went to Hira' to pass long hours in retirement meditating and speculating over all aspects of his religious business plan.
The prophet of Islam, Muhammad, is a real documented and historical figure. He lived in the full light of history and most minute details of his life are known. What the blinded Muslims lacked to notice was that Muhammad was more that just a "prophet", he was also a greedy statesman and ruler.
Take note at how interested Muhammad was with the Pope, this is because the interest was not on the Pope but on the size of the Vatican and the size of Ka'bah. Muhammad being a successful merchant saw that the Vatican was growing in wealth and power, if only he too could find such real estate. A great big temple was all that was missing to complete his religious enterprising venture.
Muhammad saw that the temple of Ka'bah was huge like the Vatican and at the time full of no less than three hundred and sixty idols and a bunch of ignorant idol worshipers. Muhammad like many times throughout the Qur'an decided to act like a Jesus wanna be, Luke 20: verses 45 & 46. So, Muhammad swept clean the Holy Ka'bah from its heathen idols. It was he again who restored the original pilgrimage to its pristine purity, and so the ignorant idol worshipers followed him into a religion we now call Muslim. His business venture had become a reality.
How lucky could Muhammad get, he bought turnkey business. This turnkey business included a temple with idol worshippers who had no problem worshipping a Black Stone, nothing really changed for them and to this day they are still worshipping the idol (The Black Stone). The bottom line, Muhammad became rich like the Pope whom he was so jealous of.
To this day, the Muslims have a working procedure of the Tawaf, it consists of circling around the Ka'bah seven times. Each circle begins by kissing the Black Stone, or by caressing it, which is its normal procedure. Today the world wonders, who are these confused idol worshippers worshipping, God or the Black Stone?
The Muslim people need to open their eyes and realize that the last true prophet was Jesus. Jesus was the Son of God and totally submitted to God. Jesus never owned anything of this earth and Jesus was the only human being on earth that has performed any supernatural miracles.
Muhammad claims that his miracle is the Qur'an. I've got news for the Muslims, after the bible was written, "Any disturbed man can write a book of Prophecy. And that disturbed man will use the Bible as a reference point." The Bible is the greatest book on Earth. It is the word of God that is why the Christians kiss it.
Today I learned of a man named Brian David Mitchell who like Muhammad also wrote a book. Mitchell's book is called The Book of Emmanuel David Isaiah. It is a 27 page of densely packed text, filled with ramblings of a disturbed man. Ramblings that make no sense and like the Qur'an it is hard to interpret. The one thing that will make a difference in the public not falling for Mitchell's book is, that, today we are not as ignorant as the people were back in Muhammad's lifetime.
Note: Brian David Mitchell is the man who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart.
Properly rephrased:
A group of prominent Muslim community leaders in metro Atlanta voiced concerns Friday over U.S.-led raids on several weapons factories in Iraq.
A mosque is simply that, a weapons factory churning out robotic biped killing machines. The same raids need to be done in the USA. If Waco was alright for the clintons then these weapons factories should be a slam dunk.
Take some pictures.....
Give 'em all plane tickets back to where they came from!
If they were born here then send them to live in Fallujah for two years.
Iman El-Amin, riss up a pope.
Funny how Muslims living in the USA never condemn the burning of churches anywhere by Muslims, they never condemn the murder of millions of Christians, Jews, Hindus and others that is done by Muslims. We don't need these fascists in the USA.
