Using their “logic”, Jews were bigots for opposing Nazism. Non-Muslims must fight Islam, if we want to preserve life as we know it.

Bigot smigot.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

The sooner America learns this , the better. Some know and many do not, but it is a threat to everything America knows.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

After viewing the two, reconcile our observations.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. As a Muslim, he knows this, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

Sharia is contrary to America, its rights , freedoms , liberty and democracy.

islum doesn’t merit Constitutional protection, anymore than the Mormon religion in the 1840s got, anymore than David Koresh got.

To me, there’s an easy way to dissect this. Sure, they have a right ro build a mosque, but considering the context of their request, the significance of the events that took place, it would be extremely offensive, not only to the friends and families of the victims or 9/11, but to the sanctity, dignity of our nation, our values. If I use the word n*gger at work...naturally I’d be censured or potentially fired. It’s a known taboo, something that is extremly offensive and distasteful in the civilized world. I have a right to say it, but there will most likely be severe consequences. Therefore, most people refrain from doing so...at least in public. So how would the murder of near 3000 Americans at the hands of Islamic zealots be any less offensive than a mosque at ground zero...something that is 1000 times greater in scope and consequence.

Post WW II, when the Japanese asked for a plot of land to build a Peace Garden, celebrating the friendship of the Japanese and American people, they did NOT ask to build it at Pearl Harbor.

Instead, they built it in Fredericksburg, TX -- the home town of Adm. Chester Nimitz.

There is a question of taste and propriety involved, as well. The Japanese understood that...perfectly. The Islamists don't...at all.

Resisting the mosque at Ground Zero
doesn’t make me a bigot, it makes
me a survivor of Islam.

///////////////
No they don’t ....no more than the Mormons had in 1840s and David Koresh and the Branch Dividians.

Islam is against individual freedom, it stands against freedom of Religion and freedom of Speech. It thus does not recieve protection from the Constitution because its essense is to destroy the Constitution.

Good article by Mr. Hentoff. I’ll show it to our college aged daughter who is annoyed by all the yelling about the mosque, and thinks that if we don’t let it be built, it will just make the radicals more mad at us, and they’ll kill more innocent people. Hubby and I tried to tell her that they’ll be mad, no matter if the mosque is built, or not.

>Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult<

I always think of it as a parasite nation. They have their own nation and laws .. but no land. So they use a host .. like cancer. Invade town by town, city by city .. mosque by mosque .. then they impose their own law .. sharia.

they do not conform to the host countries laws because they have their own defined by their “religion”

It is a devious and evil way to conquer but it works.

We are right.

Mohammet was a pioneer in neuro linguistic programming.

Thats why the prayer 5 times a day, to reinforce the defective message.

This is the same tool used by cults to take and retain control.
