Sure, haven't you heard the saying ... The only good islamic radical is a dead one.

Since this one has been dead for 1350 years then he must be approaching great status. </sarcasm>

I showed the pic to my husband and asked him his initial thoughts. He said “Terrorist sympathizer.”

I can’t imagine that the shopkeeper was unaware of the signifigance of the date.

Right down the street, on Voss(B/t Westhiemer & San Felipe), a terrorist training center..or madrassa, was closed by the FBI due to links with terrorism.

Wonder how many times this POS went there??

Either way, they’re all complicit and the “school” is open again.

IMO there are no peaceful islamists.

I know a lot of peaceful Muslims who are very happy to be American. Most of these are people, or the children of people, who fled Iran when the Ayatollah took over. America was their savior from an oppressive Muslim theocracy. Given that this guy is obviously Shia, there's a good chance this applies to him.

But Master failed to explain that Ali, who’s remembered on a different date each year during Ramadan, died in AD 661 and was in no way related to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Every Islamist back to Muhammad (pi$$ be upon him) is responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and all other Islamic terror. They were the ones who made the rules; convert, enslave or kill anyone who opposes or declines to accept your false god.

Clearly, obviously provocative. Closing on September 11 to commemorate a moslem figure is one thing, closing on that date to commemorate his “martyrdom” is another. This was by design. They anticipated the backlash, just as they anticipated the sympathetic media response to it.

“I know a lot of peaceful Muslims who are very happy to be American. “

There are peaceful muslims but there are no peaceful Islamists. The silence from the muslims has been deafening these last 10 years. For the most part they are to afraid or disconnected to condemn what the radicals are doing.

BTW, Muhammed (pig feces upon him) was a radical. The Quran is full of his violence, child rape, and hate. He is the one the radicals use as their example and to justify their violence.

Too f-n bad. He has only his fellow Muslims to blame.

I have a photo of the sign and also saw it in place. I didn’t know then who Imam Ali was nor do I care now. Putting that sign up on September eleventh was either stupid or an in the face challenge. In either case the sob story about the trials of the store owner don’t impress me since he created this on his own.

When I first saw that sign (without reading any article) I thought “terrorist sympathizer, America hater”. You can’t make a 2nd 1st impression.

ROFLMAO! They declared war on September 11th and now, with the mosque in New York, they’re planting their flag.

BTW, Go do Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Eqypt, and most other muslim countries. Try to open a church, try to close your business for a Christian holiday. Try to bring a bible into the country.

As long as we have our definitions straight, we agree.

BTW, Muhammed (pig feces upon him) was a radical. The Quran is full of his violence, child rape, and hate.

Mohammed tried to improve the Arab culture, which was even more barbaric. The early writings are pretty good, but not original since they were mainly a rehash of Jewish and Christian thought. However, after he gained power the bloodthirsty megalomaniac starts to come out, and you see Mohammed's original thinking. That's why you see all the conflicting messages from the Quran, early "let's get along" quotes overshadowed by later "kill'em all" quotes. Justification for violence is usually found in the latter part.

What's worse is that even with Islam as backwards as it is, the older ways still remain, running concurrently with Islam in various cultures. This is how you get female circumcision associated with Islam in Africa and some of the harsher treatment of women that usually occurs in outlying areas under tribal control.

Bumo to the top. Got some friends who would like to see this.

It was an insensitive sign at best.
