The way to religious tolerance is through a billboard - or at least that's the idea behind a display for tens of thousands of commuters in North Dallas each day.
It's not a question a lot of people ask themselves on the way to work. But there it is, hanging above westbound LBJ Freeway near Webb Chapel: "Why Islam?"
The sign also offers a Web site address and a toll-free phone number in New Jersey.
"When the call comes in, it transfers to the team of volunteers," said Adnan Fyed of the Islamic Circle of North America. "And those volunteers they will call you back and they pick up the phone at the same time."
"Why Islam?" is a program run by the Islamic Circle of North America to educate anyone who wants to know about the religion. The website offers information on Allah, pilgramages and even audio lectures.
Visitors can also watch a slide show on Ramadan, and are invited to visit a mosque. There's even a chatroom.
"If you go and become a member of the forum, you can go and ask whatever questions you have," Fyed said.
The chat room addresses such topics as suicide bombings, and hating Christians.
With so many hostile ideas out there, the effort aims to help provide the truth about the religion.
The packed parking lot for Friday services at the Islamic Center of Irving shows how much the faith is growing in North Texas. Now with the hotline and the website, members of the community hope to get out the word concerning what Islam is all about.
Submit or die, Infidels.
Those same billboards are on display in Dallas. The one with Osama on it ("Some people want you dead") is also being used.
The billboards are for 570 KLIF-AM, if I'm not mistaken.
If I were trying to sell something, that would be where I would put my billboard.
Good, I am glad Dallas has one too, I was afraid that Laura Miller might not like it---she is really turning Dallas into a much more liberal city, don't you think?
Thanks for the ping!
Actually.... YES! If you believe in islam (small case intentional) you believe in killing the infidel, that's most of "us", I'm not sure about you.
"Does attending a Mosque make you a terrorist?"
In exponentially more cases than those of people attending churches being evangelicals, yes, a resounding yes!
"I will not be engaging you in discussion"
Thanks.
"OKAY? Now do you both understand where I am coming from? "
Not really. An individual or group bought the use of the board to advertise. I suspect they did so where the traffic is highest? Could be, I suppose they think Dallas would by more sympathetic, or generate more interest?
Is that what you mean? Of course, both cities and all in between have ads for topless dancing, what does that mean? LOL
Don't feel neglected. They'll get there in due course.
Let me guess. FUNDED BY THE SAUDIS?
"Help me with your logic here,"
The actions of a few aren't indicative of the whole.
The KKK was/is steeped in God and Christianity and they advocate doing harm to others. Does that mean all Christians are like that? No it doesn't.
"YES! If you believe in islam"
Do you think all those people who risked life and limb to vote and marked themselves with a purple finger are out to kill the soldiers who protected them?
"In exponentially more cases than those of people attending churches being evangelicals"
What denomination do you think the people who were responsible for the holocaust were? Don't think they were Muslims?
You clearly have never read the evil qu'uran, written by the pedophile muhammed (may he rot in hell forever between 2 pigs) and worshipping the moon god allah.
islam is a military ideology wrapped in a cloak of mysticism. It uses that cloak to get the very weak minded to allow them to endorse thier plans to take over the world.
There is no analogy between islam's desire to conquer the qorld and anything in any other "religion." (I use quotes because islam is not a religion, per se).
I urge you to educate yourself. The imman at the nearby mosque is exhorting his people to kill you the first chance they get.
Perhaps someone should have a billboard with Nick Berg AFTER the video tape stopped rolling.
I'll pass too.
I'm not as uncivilized as Islam requires and don't wish to be.
