A day of Korans and camaraderie (MSM obligatory Bush cheap shot)
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 06/10/07 | Dwight Ott

They came from far: Pakistan, Lebanon and India, organizers said. And from near: 80 percent were African Americans from Philadelphia --snip-- The free event was part of Peco Energy Co.'s Multicultural Series, featuring youth groups, drill teams, schools and community organizations from across the region.

The recent allegations that Islamic radicals planned to attack Fort Dix or destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport were not part of this celebratory day. The only security was from those normally working at Penn's Landing events and from the Muslim community itself.

"The Bush administration is instilling a lot of fear," said Willie Williams, 67, as he sat beneath one of the tents with his native-Pakistani imam, Mujeeb Chaudhary. "They figure once people are afraid they are more easily manipulated."

Willie don't you think that hundreds of people blowing themselves up in the name of Islam might instill a lot of fear? Oh yeah, it's Bush's fault. Never mind.

Chaudhary, who came to the United States in 1972, emphasized that Islam meant peace, and that if someone didn't see it that way, "he is not a Muslim."

He's right, I am not a Muslim.

Nothing here to see. Bush bashing is just the latest trend.

What’s being implied is that there IS NO terror threat - that it’s all being cooked up by President Bush in concert with select intelligence agency officials.

They came from “near”?

>>He also indicated that black people had long used the religion as a kind of beanstalk to help them climb out of the poverty of inner-city oppression.<<

DWIGHT OTT IS A HACK.

I devoutly hope that the Willie Williams in the article is not the same tub of lard that used to be Philly’s and then LA’s police chief.

The theme of the festival was "Unity in Diversity," Abdul-Rahim Muhammad said.

He must be a student of Al Gore.

The borderbotting and the way terrorism is taking a back seat is really horrifying.

Let's put it into perspective:

Mexicans want our jobs. Islamists want our lives. Saving our jobs won't mean SQUAT if we're all dead.

Well, half truths do make the best lies.

It's true there is NO THREAT OF TERROR. In case everyone's forgotten, it's a promise of terror.

>"It's true there is NO THREAT OF TERROR. In case everyone's forgotten, it's a promise of terror."

More like a 1400 year old declaration of war, and commandments to commit terror!

Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Sura 9:5 of the “Koranus,” “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.”

"Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God." Sura 9:29


Aap aap ahh dap dap!!!!!
It's a religion of peace
It's a religion of peace

"The Bush administration is instilling a lot of fear," said Willie Williams, 67. The 9/11 hijackers, the Fort Dix plotter, the Sears Tower plotters of 06, and the JFK plotters all had one thing in common. And yet it is somehow George Bush who is "instilling" fear? Please give us a barf alert next time.

In fact, I think I’ll also Photoshop a version big enough for my desktop. Puss n Boots from Shrek is cute, but we need some time away from each other.

Well of course. For years, the mafia denied the mafia existed. The communists never admitted to being communists. The devil's greatest triumph has been in convincing people he does not exist. So why should his moslem minions depart from a successful strategy?

Feel free to steal and reproduce all the pics you want. If people want their pics private, they shouldn’t make them available to the public in the first place!
