Upstate New York man says sign pointing to mosque stating 'BOMB MAKING NEXT DRIVEWAY' stays

An angry upstate New York man says there's not a prayer that he'll remove a nasty sign prompted by a feud with the mosque next door.

"BOMB MAKING NEXT DRIVEWAY," reads the stenciled message on the front lawn of Michael Heick.

The message outraged many residents of Amherst, a Buffalo suburb where Heick is upset by the Jaffarya Center's proximity to his property and its bright lights.

The sign is more a poke at town officials than a political statement, he insisted. And local authorities can't order him to take it down, because the message is protected by the First Amendment.

"The place is too close," Heick griped to the Buffalo News. "I don't care what people think. It doesn't matter what people think. This is a way to get answers now.

If the mosque leaders were smart they’d kill him with kindness, but I don’t think that is a weapon in their arsenal.

I hope the next time we hear from this man, the headline doesn't read:

Or buy his house....I suspect that’s what the guy has in mind..look..Buffalo’s in the toilet, but having a mosque right next door has probably cut the value of his house by at least 50%

He has to be careful because a false accusation of a crime like making bombs is automatically libelous. I have no use for militant “Muslims” but I would definitely not level this kind of accusation against Muslims whom I do not know to be militant, supporters of terror, and so on—many immigrated to get AWAY from that garbage.

Too funny.

He’s getting a lot of support on the local blog-sites of the Buffalo area media outlets

The mussies would have to prove that their humble abode has never, is not presently and never will be used for bomb making. Just by the riff-raff that show up there every Friday, GUILTY!

The neighbors on the other side should post a sign and arrow with “BABY MILK FACTORY”.

How about some factual signs:

Shari'a Law Oppresses Women
Thousands of American died to free millions of Muslims, thank George W Bush when you see him
Waterboarding works

Heick needs to barbecue pork products whenever there are people congregating at the mosque. Maybe even get a large fan to waft the scent over the wall toward them. heck, he could even set up a table in his front yard to share the pork products with any friends and neighbors that want to partake with him. Even invite over the muzzies as a gesture of goodwill and kindness towaard his neighbors.

I predict that it’s only a matter of time until such statements are illegal. In Canada, for example, you cannot say anything bad about homos. If you do, your friendy human rights commission will file charges against you. Don’t think the dems won’t pass such legislation to buy votes.

All his sign does is accuse the NEXT DRIVEWAY of making bombs.

Nothing libelous about that—a driveway cannot make bombs.
