Black preachers plan protest against mosque opening in NW Pompano By Jean-Paul Renaud South Florida Sun-Sentinel

July 11, 2006

POMPANO BEACH -- Preachers from some of the northwest area's most influential churches plan to bring their flocks and sermons to City Hall tonight to demand that leaders keep a mosque from opening in their neighborhood.

... "Let us sit down under your leadership and work towards enhancing the experience of all peoples, so that our community can make further progress, fostering peace, harmony and friendship," wrote Altaf Ali, the organization's executive director.

"He said, `Let us come together and reason,'" Dozier, standing behind a pulpit, recounted on a recent Sunday to his congregation. "Now what do I look like? Do you think I would sit down and talk to them and compromise?"

So in Dozier's office last week, pastors planned their protest, surrounded by photos of Dozier posing with President Bush, Gov. Jeb Bush, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"Can we get a podium?" Dozier asked his counterparts.

"Can we get a bullhorn?" the Rev. Alonzo Neal, of the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, said.

Their agenda was clear: Make their congregations aware that they will protest at the City Commission meeting tonight, even though the issue is legally settled.

"We want to tell our people from the pulpit," Dozier said, sitting in a large brown leather chair behind a well-kept desk. "I've been talking on it every Sunday."

"Me too," Neal said.

"History will judge us badly if these people came to our area and converted a lot of poor black people into that cult," Dozier continued.

Neal jumped in: "The only thing we as men of God can do is stand and be counted."

Islam - proof that you can fool 1.565 billion people (some of the people) all of the time...

Well, it involves Christianity, so they will surely (with the backing of the ACLU) be siding with the Moon and Star cult.

..."recruiting fanatic religious soldiers and conquering us all into death or dhimmitude."

Yeah, just ask Eastern Europeans about the tolerance and respect for other beliefs of the Muhammed Moonbat Soldiers. It's more of a mafia than a religion.

"We want to make such a fuss that the Muslims will pack up,"

Wow, unlike many Americans, these people know who the enemy is.

To read a good article about Islam-Mecca-The Whore of Babylon, go to yourarmstoisrael.org , and select "sermon notes" and pull up "The Final End Time Beast". Print and save for future reference.

I don't like Islam anymore than anyone else who is well-informed, but Muslims have the same right to worship as any other religions faith.

Oh good.

By the way, the local Aztecs need someone to help them with their latest ceremony. Would you be kind enough to trot right over? It will not take much of your time. Just a few short moments.

As someone from Iraq called for you as well. After you are finished with that, could you help them out with a short video demonstration on the how Muslims and Infidels can get along peacefully.
