I have to agree with you. As someone increasingly leaning towards Druidism......I would have to request a complete replica of Stonehenge.
Having said that I have to go on record at this time, to demand reparations for the original on the Salisbury Plain! I mean...look at it....
....it's all broke up.........or sumpin'
Truly sick!
I believe he quoted the article:
Building a mosque on the site would also send a message to the Islamic world about America, and our commitment to the freedom of religion
And then responded, albeit too hastily, to the quote:
- no offense, [but] what are [you] smoking ?Am I reading you right, kcrack?
On a long wooden bench along the wall sat priests, ministers, and an Imam. I squeezed in next to a Catholic priest and a young Episcopalian minister with a Hello, my name is Christopher name tag, feeling like we had just been drafted for a dreadful and hopeless task.Then the Red Cross Spiritual Care Coordinator spoke. OK, guys, listen up! She was an amazingly energetic minister from California who conveyed a mix of pep and compassion: Im gonna make this brief because we dont have much time before those families come in here and Im assuming you all know what to do. Ive seen this before. This is like what I saw in Oklahoma Citywe need to be there and show Gods lovebut I want to remind you that this is not a time to proselytize. This is ecumenical. No praying in the name of Jesus. Just be a spiritual presence. Show Gods love for them. Do what you do best. Remember, no praying in the name of Jesus!
I raised my hand and she nodded at me. Yes, Rabbi, what is it?
Is it all right if I pray in the name of Jesus? 1
I think I'm going to barf.
And do they really think a mosque is appropriate? I'm not sure the victims of the Spanish Inquisition would like to include a Catholic or even Christian symbol in anything they do remembering their dead.
That message is already out there. Do they really think that because we build another mosque that message will get and sink in to the kind of people who did/do/want to do stuff like happened on 9-11?
That's a few too many. The islamic world would ring with cries of joy and inshallah as a mosques rose on the site of the Great Blow aagainst the Big Shaitan.
I'm sick of these misguided two-legged missiles.
I'd kick in a few bucks for that....and I'm considered a failed Catholic.
So how to ensure we don't lose the towers or our focus on terrorism?
On the penthouse level of the stunning new Twin Towers shall reside:
Building a Church on the site would send a message to the Christian world about Saudi Arabia, and their commitment to the freedom of religion
Don't think they'd go for it, huh?
Okay, then how about a Cemetery?
Sewage plant?
Toxic waste dump?
Hog farm?
Women's college?
Brewery?
How about a huge gold dome, with an inscription that reads, "Allah not only doesn't beget, he doesn't even exist!!! Bwahahahaha!!" ??
OK, I'll bite. When the firefighters were running up the stairs against the flow of people running down the stairs, is it possible that they slowed the exodus thereby causing more of the occupants not to escape in time? I believe it is possible that the firefighters not only lost their lives but may have contributed to more. Nobody dares ask this question, for fear of a vicious backlash. It reminds me on a massive scale of the recent deaths of six firefighters in Worchester, MA who ran into an abandoned burning building on the rumor that a homeless couple were inside. They should have stayed outside and busied themselves containing the blaze, not risking their lives needlessly. It's sad that these firefighters died; however, the commanders should rethink their decision guidelines of when or when not to go into a burning building.
The message would be:
"We surrender!! See! we even build a mosque to commemorate for all time our humiliation and defeat at the hands of the holy warriors of Allah!"
Sheesh--liberals really are stupid~~even liberal rabbi's, apparently.
