Boston Mayor Says "No" To Chick-Fil-A, But Gave Tax Dollars To Mosque Teaching "Death To Gays"
Boston Herald ^ | July 27, 2012 | Michael Graham

Given his stance on Chick-fil-A, would Mayor Tom Menino grant permits to a group that has counted among its leaders a man who has repeatedly called homosexuality a “crime that must be punished” by death?

Actually, he has done that  . . . and more! Menino effectively gave away city land valued at $1.8 million to the organization, and he gave a speech at its ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It’s the Islamic Society of Boston’s mosque, and when it comes to anti-gay sentiment, one of its early supporters makes Chick-fil-A look like the Provincetown Men’s Chorus.

During the (understandable) controversy over the city selling land for a house of worship at a below-market rate a decade ago, reporters discovered that the Islamic Society of Boston counted imam Yusef al-Qaradawi as one of its spiritual guides. As the Weekly Standard reported at the time:

“The ISB does not dispute the fact that they have repeatedly used al-Qaradawi as a tool to raise funds for the Boston mosque, printing a brochure that highlighted al-Qaradawi’s enthusiastic support of the mosque and playing a videotaped message of support from him at a 2002 gathering.”

Also in attendance at the gathering, listening to al-Qaradawi’s message: Mayor Tom Menino.

Outside Boston, al-Qaradawi is better known as a vocal supporter of terrorism who teaches a hard-core version of Islam. His claim to fame as a “progressive” is that he was the first prominent imam to urge women to become suicide bombers, too.

It was only when his terror support became known that the Islamic Society of Boston announced that epeated listings of al-Qaradawi as an ISB trustee had been a mistake.

But nobody’s accusing Chick-fil-A of supporting terrorism — just traditional marriage (I think liberals still see the former as more dangerous). Menino heard the president of the company call...

As the saying goes, “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”

Oh, they’re consistent.

The homos are simply a weapon to criminalize Christian beliefs.
And the muzzies are anti-christian as well.

When leftists appear to be inconsistent or hypocritical, take a step back. The first step back will show you a consistent advancement of the communist agenda, the second step back will show you a consistent anti-christian agenda.

Mosques in non-Muslim countries have traditionally been training facilities and armories for Jihadists.

Very true.

Socialist fascists of all stripes and Muslims share a common goal.

It's an alliance of convenience, and they'll kill each other after they achieve their common goal (destruction of Israel and Western Culture).

For example, consider the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

Combining Arab nationalism with Marxist Leninist ideology, the PFLP sees the destruction of Israel as integral to its struggle to remove Western influence from the Middle East.

During the 1970s the group fostered links with militant groups across the world, including the German Baader Meinhof organisation and Japan's Red Army.

According to Albert Speer, Hitler said, "The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"

Because the msm and the Dems and the muzzies are all in it together. They get their politically correct friends’ list and anybody on that list is A-OK anyone not on the list is verboten. It is such a simple way of going through life—no thought necessary.

Look at what is begining to happen in Bulgaria—how the bus full of Israelis was blown up—muslims are only a minority in Bulgaria, most of the people are Christians but the extremists are begining to preach jihad in the mosques and what you get is terrorism.
