A Battle Rages in London Over a Mega-Mosque Plan

Published: November 4, 2007

LONDON — Disputes over mosques have broken out across Europe. Residents from Belgium to France to Germany have expressed unease at minarets competing in the urban landscape with the spires and stones of centuries-old cathedrals.

Londonistan is in the making...

Actually, it’s pretty much already here. They just haven’t officially tacked on the -istan to the end of the name.

Would you invite a potential den of vipers to move into your neighborhood?

The more we let CAIR row...

No thanks...

[Westlander]

How easily people forget this day in history in 1979.

[NormsRevenge]

Some things are meant to happen, I’m afraid..

and I agree, it seems they don’t teach much history anymore.

Obama would be our modern day Chamberlin, we can just talk to them ala Rodney King

Well, Saudi Araba has no problem allowing the largest Christian church in the middle east to be built in Mecca.

When any Christian church is finally allowed in Mecca, then we should allow mosques to be built in Europe, America and the rest of the civilized world. Until then, they should all be closed or destroyed. imho

“Would you invite a potential den of vipers to move into your neighborhood?”

You can’t stop these vipers according to the First Amendment which gives equal rights to the good, the bad and the ugly. We claim that our freedom comes from God but our laws are written to please man, only.

"Look, they're assimilating. See this one assimilating? It has opened up to me."

Deception is not my friend.
It is about more than just building a Church.
Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen and even in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam where Christianity is practiced behind closed doors.
Name One Muslim country where freedom to worship any religion is a law.

[driftdiver]

You are free to worship any religion in those countries. You just aren’t allowed things like a bible, church buildings, meetings, talking to others about the religion, converting to any religion if you are muslim, or claiming any property that a muslim person also wants.

That's a matter of opinion.
It shouldn't take much effort to demonstrate that islam is not a religion in the same sense that all the other major religions are. Until it is, it goes beyond ugly, and does not merit First Amendment protection.

Put another way, would a new religion be acceptable in the US if, central to its tenets is the cancellation of the Bill of Rights and every Constitutional Amendmentment since 1796?

I don't think so!

There is no battle.

There will be a slaughter, but there is no battle.

“..does not merit First Amendment protection.”

Tell that to the ACLU, not to me. I agree with you.

[Beckwith]

You are free to worship any religion in those countries.

Only if you practice your religion in a closet with the lights out.
