The development application attracted 4,500 written submissions from the public, an unprecedented number for such a proposal.

"Eight is usually a lot," Council spokeswoman Justine O'Leary told United Press International.

The Aussies may be smarter than we are.

...it appears, MUCH SMARTER!

Thanks for the thread FRiend.

who are now on the defensive due to the actions of extremists overseas

And I'm sure that roving band of domestic rapists doesn't help much either.

The irony is that Aly sees himself as Australian first, and Muslim second

Don't believe it for a minute

Americans should hang their heads in shame, we're the worstest people on the face of the earth </sarcasm>

[Pliney the younger]

In India, two years ago, some 300 Hindi were returning home, after working on the construction of a new Hindu temple. When their train stopped, their Moslem neighbors blocked the doors and threw gallon bottles of gasoline into the cars and burnt some 200 men, women and children to death.

Did the Australians by any chance burn to death any Moslems?

In Nigeria last week, to demonstrate their disapproval of a newspaper article, Mobs of Muslims burn down 10 churches. They then hacked and burnt to death some 225 of their Christian neighbors. They were quite displeased with the article.

Did the Australians hack any of the Muslims to death?

Last week two Christian Americans who had dedicated their lives to helping Muslims were shot in the head by their Muslim neighbors. One was a UN employee, and the other was a beautiful young Christian nurse who had served displaced Palestinian Muslims at a dispensary for some years. Their Corpses have been returned to the US for burial.

Did the Australians shoot any of the applicants in the head?

Reverend Roberts, who use to operate the most powerful radio broadcast station in Lebanon, (Until it and several of his Christian employees were blown apart by a car bomb) reports that one and a half MILLION Christians have been mattered by Muslims within the not too distant past for the crime of not submitting to Allah.

I didn't notice any mention of the Australians burning, bludgeoning, shooting, or bombing any of the applicants to death in this article.

I am not an American Moslem; I am a Christian American.

But if I were a Muslim I would go on TV and announce that 9/11 and all of these other acts were DESPICABLE.

And that no God of Love could do anything but DAMN the participants.

And I would announce that I would condemn any Muslim that has destructive intentions against my country. And that I would immediately go you the FBI and report them.

But do you know what? I have never head a single Muslim say that. And I haven‘t heard a single Counter American Culturist Announcer from any of the big three TV networks ask why no Muslims come forward with just such a proclamation!

Just maybe the Australians have a point. And just maybe until the Muslim Communities announce their loyalties to their nations it will stay that way.

Some Muslims have Condemned the bombings (They same ones we later learned ordered the bombings.) And some have said they love living in America. But none have said I as a Muslim am ready to die for my country to stop other Muslims from doing her damage.

Just maybe American Muslims don’t believe in the American principle that Americans respect other citizens rights to worship in their own way.
And that they reject the orders in their Korans to kill their neighbors if they do not submit to Allah!

And PS
Just maybe the members of the liberal press despise American principles just about as much as the Muslim terrorists do!

Love,

"I am not even devout," he said

And when the prayer hall finally gets built, some visiting Iman will command his death for this statement. That, or the local Islamists, upon reading it in the paper, will go on a rampage, killing anybody in sight with a machete.

Why does one have to apply to found a place to peacably assemble there?

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the militant islamikazi's one bit, but having to apply for a permit to meet with your fellow spiritual believers is tyranny, unless there is proof this guy is a terrorist who is trying to build a safe-house for terrorism.

[Redleg Duke]

Suggest that these towelheads emmigrate to the promised land...Iran. Lots of mosques and meeting halls there.

[MissAmericanPie]

When a mosque is built, these idiots consider it ground taken for Islam to be defended at all costs. You don't just tear one down, you don't turn the building into a small business if the Mosque fails. It belongs to them forever, and they will find something in their stupid Quaran to back up the fact that Muhammad spoke of that very mosque, like they have with in Israel with the Al Aska and Dome of the Rock.

Just like they are doing now that they are building a Mosque on top of Joseph's Tomb. Lying about history or anything is part and parcel of the Islamic culture. The Aussie's are indeed smarter than us.

..."People don't know who we are, and they are not ready for the prayer hall right now." ..

That's the problem here Aly, these folks may not know you personally but like many Americans do, they recognize that you are indeed a bunch of paynim [noun: paynim. 1. A heathen (especially a Muslim)] (aka practicing paganism or engaging in a pagamn religion).

Uh-huh. The same people who voted to ban the private possession of firearms. Real smart.
