Muslim Leaders Rally In Support Of Downtown Islamic Center
NY1.com ^ | Sept 1, 2010

Posted on 09/01/2010 3:41:41 PM PDT by rdl6989

Leaders from 55 major mosques and Islamic organizations held a rally on the steps of City Hall today to speak out against against religious intolerance and defend the building of the Park51 Islamic cultural center in Downtown Manhattan and other mosques in America.

Before a large crowd, speakers said that there is a rising tide of intolerance against Muslims in the United States. They also said that across the country politicians are fanning the flames of controversy over the proposed Manhattan mosque on Park Place.

The demonstrators said that Islam is not a foreign religion to the United States, and has deep roots in the country's history. They also remarked on how the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of religious expression.

"This kind of verbal assault upon Islam and Muslims is unprecedented in our history," said Imam Al-Amin Abdul Latif of Majlis Ash-Shura of New York. "This nation was founded on the values of religious freedom and tolerance and fairness and justice and pluralism. We're going backwards."

Islamists (political Islam and Sharia law advocates) say that the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of religious expression. Americans say that the Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact.

Let 'em show us that they know and truly accept our secular heritage, social contract and inalienable rights -- that means no kitman and no taqiyya! -- then we can start talking, otherwise no negotiations with Islamist (political Islam and Sharia law advocates) terrorists!

Tens of millions of Turkish Muslims don't want political Islam and Sharia law so why the hell should we accept it?

Mummus alert!!

“Meanwhile, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group has launching three Public Service Announcements to try to stop the hate.
(MuzSpeak for Please Serve Allah)
The PSAs produced by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)~~~(Yes, the same cAIR whose leaders have been CONVICTED of SUPPORTING TERRORISM throughout the US & World) feature Muslims who were first responders to the September 11th terror attacks.

Two of the three PSAs are also designed to show that the attacks happened to all Americans, including Muslims(LOVE the “,_muslims”).
~~They died during jihad and everyone knows that when that happens..inshallah..into heaven they go!

The third shows the commonalities between the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths.

~~Too rich! Too easy.

The kind of violence and murder committed by Muslims in the name of Islam is unprecedented in our history.

Let them build the darn thing???

UH UH Just say no... to any mosque, anywhere.

For the UNknowing, the UNaware and the wary,

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

The sooner America learns this , the better. Some know and many do not, but it is a threat to everything America knows.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

After viewing the two, reconcile our observations.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. As a Muslim, he knows this, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

Sharia is contrary to America, its rights , freedoms , liberty and democracy.

We’re going backwards.” You mean because we don’t have Sharia Law, which is WAY tolerant. //Big Sarc//

They're whining about “verbal assault”? If Americans start posting videos of muslims being treated like Daniel Pearl at the hands of Christians they might have a legitimate complaint. Till then it's just crocodile tears. This is not Britian and the harder these a**holes agitate, the rougher it's going become for them. As it should be.

Yeah, Muslims are *so* discriminated against - they’re building a Mosque at Ground Zero!

Protest peacefully like the blacks who would not ride the busses.

Do not buy anything associated with Muslims until they back off from building mosques on sites where they murdered the innocent.

Obama took part of his Mosque speech from the Mosque Imam's writings, so don't forget The Obama - Mohamad Atta 9/11 Victory Mosque.

Exactly. In NY...there are enough people from all walks of life...to make life very miserable for the mosque and it’s followers.

I’m just sayin...back door justice is sometimes more effective. Let them spend (waste) their money making a pretty building that will never pass code.

Not giving up, just would like to consider a more stealthy approach. Americans have been very tolerant of Islam since 9-11. Look at England, look at France, look at Norway. They’re really struggling with Islam all in the name of “tolerance”. If they want to build, it’s their constitutional right. That guarantees them nothing in the long-term. Can’t wait to attend the grand opening! 10 years from now.

If there are any “terrorists” being trained or schooled in the Mosque, the FEDS will shut it down...if we still have a country by then.
