Building Bridges to Islam. How nice. How about Building Bridges to Christianity, or Building Bridges to Judiasm? I'll bet Elderhostel would never even consider such a thing. They want no part of the Infidel religions, thank you. We must all embrace Islam, don't you know?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

They wanted to build a bridge because it's one of things the Jihadiots aren't any good at blowing up.

Stupid liberal bastards. I'm convinced more and more, day by day, that they're Beelzebub made flesh. Who else could be so blatantly ignorant, hold such contempt for truth, and be so determined to destroy?

That's nice.

Leave it to the whack jobs in Seattle to get it wrong again...

They should be building gallows or guillotines - not bridges..

Semper Fi

[StonyBurk]

Bridges at Toko Rei,Bridg eon the River Kwai,Problem with
bridges is they are built to connect one with where they
want to go. And only the slave or the bloody terrorist
would want to build a bridge to Islam. Even with heavy
guns at both ports and armed patrols all along the span
it is a fools venture for the bloody bastards insist any
submission to their bloody god allah means there can be no
return. Sorta like choosing to be homosexual in our PC world.

This goup has been in the news before:

Muslim group scales back plan for mosque 03/19/04, Ref.1639

WA - Ithna-Asheri Muslim Association of the Northwest, whose plans for a mosque in a residential Bellevue neighborhood triggered an outcry from neighbors is returning to the city with a scaled-down proposal.

The Association wants to build an 18,000-square-foot mosque on a 4.4-acre lot. That's down from roughly 30,000 square feet in plans first submitted to the city in 2000.

The earlier plan, which included 151 parking spots and a building topped by minarets and a dome, drew criticism from some nearby residents who said the large facility was out of place and could draw too much traffic.

I believe some of our local CAIR are involved -- Jawad Khaki, for example.

Thanks, Sioonnsar

"Your day’s three lectures cover the history of Islam, its religious tenets, myths and realities, and daily life for Muslim Americans. Observe noon prayer and then enjoy a slideshow of travel photographs of Iran during lunch."

Guess they won't be showing the TRUTH about IRAN during LUNCH!

[sionnsar]

Well, to be fair, "travel photographs" and the political situation are different things -- but no, they won't be telling the truth about Iran.

The slide show I would like to see (though I'll hardly be going). They have, among other things, some beautiful churches (right column "Historical Manuments"[sic] -- Iranian Historical Churches) there, for example. (And yes, in pic #3, that is snow in Isfahan.)

America learned all we need to know about Islam on 9/11!
