Is a mosque a holy place? Q. Is a mosque a holy place?

A. A mosque is a place that is specifically dedicated as a place of prayer. However, there is nothing sacred about the building or the place itself. There is no equivalent of an altar in a mosque. A Muslim may pray on any clean surface. Muslims often pray in public places.

“The Flyspeqabad mosque, Islam's 3,279th holiest place” -- with no mention of ranking body.

I think the NCAA coaches vote on it.

"Is a mosque a holy place?"

A qualifies as a hole-y place where there is a hole in the head of every jihadi that walks through it's door.

"I don't care if it's the Pope's balcony in Vatican City."

About the only thing you would get hit with from that balcony is a big wad of phlegm.

Since there is a separation of Church and State, there should be a separation of Church and War.

A mosque is an enemy bunker if used for that purpose. We are crazy for not enforcing the separation of "Church and War".

If you enter a mosque you should be respectful of those who are praying, etc. there, and you should leave your shoes by the door. They won't mind if you walk around and look at things if you don't disturb anyone.

25 - "Unlike Judeo-Christian Churches/Synagogues, there is no consecration of a mosque. It is merely an ornamented building where moslems may come to pray. "

I helped build a small mosque in Saudi Arabia. There was no problem. Then after the 'dedication' or first 'service', I and other non-muslims were no longer allowed to enter.

Our "Guys" in Falluja have Reported that >60% of the "Mosques" in that City had "Arms Caches!"

FROM THAT STATISTIC ALONE, we can ASSUME THAT a "Mosque" in IRAQ is an "Enemy Combatant!!

AT LEAST, ANY "MOSQUE" should be Searched--&--at the SLIGHTEST Provocation, any Threat from ANY "Mosque" should result in the INSTANT ANNIHILATION of that Site!!

CLEARLY, the "Followers of Islam" have NO Compunction about using,-- what would be Sacred Ground in Western Religions,-- a Muslim "Holy Site" to Murder "Others!"

ISLAM is UTTERLY AMORAL in it's "Dealings With" other Cultures!

In MANY WAYS, "ISLAM" is MUCH LIKE the "NAZI'S!!"

& the DANGER TO "Free Societies" is Similar!!.

"Radical Islam" is a "Mind-Control-Entity" not unlike Other "Suicide Cults," (Like "Bushido" in WW11 Japan) & it's DEFEAT requires the UTTER DESTRUCTION of it's "Priests!!"

Such a "Defeat" required TWO Nuclear Bombs in 1946~ I FEAR we MAY NEED to resort to Similar Force to--once-&-for=ALL ELIMINATE the "ISLAMO-KAMIKAZE'S" in our Modern Times.

SO BE IT!!
