NEW YORK—Some Muslims who were initially indifferent about a proposed Islamic center near the World Trade Center site are now rallying around the plan, partly in response to a sense that their faith is under assault. Excerpted per FR posting rules.

Yep, the GANGS all here!
“Some Muslims who were initially indifferent about a proposed Islamic center...”
The needle on the bullshit meter just spun right off the dial and went through the roof....
...seeing as how a plot was just stopped to assassinate the Pope by their “associates”...it might be a good time to have a “meeting”
Their faith is not under assault. Their violence and world-domination tendencies are under assault.
Their violence and world-domination tendencies are under assault.
IMHO, world domination IS their faith!
“...in response to a sense that their faith is under assault” —always dangerous. Just ask Jack Hensley, Nick Berg, Eugene Armstrong, etc. etc. etc.
Muslims bear an uncanny resemblance to the "Borg" from Star Trek.
Don't forget the Sharia Sisters.......
What cruel oppression these women are put through!..:=(
They are their own worst enemy.
It’s Moslem; not “Muslim”.
Here’s why:
Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem?

Is it Muslim or Moslem?
When Baby Boomers were children it was Moslem. The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) noted, “Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage. Muslim is preferred by scholars and by English-speaking adherents of Islam.” No more. Now, almost everybody uses Muslim.
According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, “Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word.” But the seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different. A Muslim in Arabic means “one who gives himself to God,” and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means “one who is evil and unjust” when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.
...
Journalists switched to Muslim from Moslem in recent years under pressure from Islamic groups. But the use of the word Moslem has not entirely ceased. Established institutions which used the older form of the name have been reluctant to change. The American Moslem Foundation is still the American Moslem Foundation (much as the NAACP is still the NAACP—the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The journal The Moslem World—published by the Hartford Seminary in Connecticut—is still The Moslem World.

- and for centuries too! How could those women ever rise up to overcome it with all the men against them?
Plus the genital mutilation they undergo.
We all know what this “mosque” is, just like we know what the “mosque” is on the temple mount. It’s unfortunate that they think we are as ignorant as the rags that follow them.
As to Rauf...? “Moderate” muslims live in fear for their lives, so until this dirtbag shows up on some alQaida hit list, they can STOP pi$$ing on my leg and telling me it’s raining.
We indeed do, FRiend, but unfortunately for us and fortunately for them, they have a lot of sheeple that they have corralled who will do their bidding without much thought!
Well, the muslims are always busy trying to assassinate popes. In the past few decades they injured one, and they have had unsuccessful plots to knock off several others disrupted by various governments. Anyone who is not a muslim who gives a sh## about them has to be brain-damaged.
Maybe we should schedule a barbecue pork cooking contest upwind of these people.
