It will look like Mithraism looks today.
Much as I'm a Rummy fan, I don't approve of this at ALL.
Bleh! I work across the street from this newly dedicated building.
It's my understanding that most of the Muslims are foreign officers attending the Marine Corps University or EWS.
It's one thing to give them space to worship it's another to build a new Mosque.
Where does it stop?
The same way Ferdinand and Isabella did on 2 January 1492: by destroying the cult of Mohammed. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit will bring the followers of Islam back into the Christian fold.
See also Reconquista.
I'm looking forward to the 20/20, Dateline, 48 hours, 60 mins on this.
Thank you for rescuing me from that with rational and logical comments.
I can't believe how some people treat our troops. They deserve far better then this kind of crap.
Are you serious there CWO?
Do you see any conflict, any conflict whatsoever, with the following line out of Amendment 1 of the BoR/Constitution and Islam and the Koran?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Here's a clue. The Koran states the following as a mere sampling of much, much more:
[2.193] And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah
[4.95] The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with their property and their persons are not equal
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.
[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[9.11] But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith
[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
Now, do you see any conflict there CWO with the First Amendment, ... anything, ... anything at all?!
Yes, I see conflict. The conflict is that you would treat U.S. Freakin Marines as third rate citizens! They deserve far better then you.
Boy, did I call you, didn't I. Hit and run. You bitch about me not answering your question, I answer it, then you begin your 5-year-old girl routine.
We're finished here. It's tough to discuss with rocks.
I'd direct you to post 71, but since you have so much difficulty simply being intellectually honest, it won't do much good.
We're finished here. So much for discussing ideas. Back to DU with ya.
They certainly do.
It's bad enough they have to deal with ignorance from the media, but we don't need it in our faces on here as well.
It sure is. WHAT are they thinking? So does the Air Force Academy in Colorado get to build a big ol' church on their grounds now? And while we're at it, sheepdips at Quantico, if you're going to be so pathetically PC, I want a synagogue built right next to that mosque.
Maybe you too would like to take a crack at post #71.
Can I get anyone supporting this to address those points?
I imagine not.
Excellent public relations. Maybe "Time" and "Newsweek" will run a cover story. Not.
Any time a Mosque is damaged, the marines should come in and restore it...
and "bug" the hell out it ,literally.
I'm telling you what I know - mostly foreign officers attend....very few US military.
Sure gives the US Muslim chaplain leverage for promoting conversions, etc...
Tell my why a Mosque should be built (on a military base) when they now have a space dedicated to meet and there are so few attending.
I really object to a new facility when there's adequate space being provided.
They sacrifice so much in their daily lives and now you people would even deny them the right to worship the religion of their choice because it isn't your choice. Where in the hell has the spirit of American gone?
Yes.
