http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20014453-503544.html Haha, Ron Paul up in this motherfucker. This is probably one of the most admirable positions he's taken recently. Well, I find it hard not to admire anyone to takes a position that is political suicide.
Seriously. I want the media to stop focusing on the mosque already and start focusing upon each candidate's respective position on the mosque.
you think to yourself is this guy telling the truth? then the oh yeah really seals it; this guy knows his shit.
I dunno, having a radical pro-al Qaida, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist, Saudi-funded, Sunni Wahabbi madrassah crypto-Kenyan Marxist mosque on top of ground zero insulates it from further attacks from their fellow travelers, as it were. The biggest concern would be the butthurt middle Americans who would protest and harrass the terror mosque's congregants. But I think there will be so much interest in this site that it will be worth the investment.

I was gonna say that this was a load of bs, but here's the same report from yahoo news... LOL http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100826/ap_on_re_us/us_cabbie_stabbed
I just found out about this now. (What I get for being Canadian, and not watching/reading the news) Epic IRL trolling that'll only end in hilarious disaster. Those people that did the bombings aren't truly Muslim, they just used religion to justify their actions. Any extremist is capable of the same. Don't most religions basically say to be nice to everyone and treat them fairly? It's depressing how much we fuck that up.
Yes, most religions don't call adherents of other faiths "infidels," "apes" and "swine" that should be smited at their necks.

Can someone explain allt his "leftist" shit to me. I thought the left wing were the ones characteristically tolerant of other races and creeds.
Well LGF is pretty leftist. I'm pretty sure that comment was due to all the right-wingers trying to paint the guy who stabbed the cab driver as being a lefty, despite how he obviously wasn't.
lol, militant Atheists aren't trolling. And I've got a soft spot for christians because, well, they're the lesser of two evils. Not to mention jews. I love the jews
I defend Islam because I'm not a sheltered bigoted faggot. I grew up with a lot of Palestinian-Americans and none of them were "stuck in the dark ages." The women didn't wear veils, they did well in school, they held progressive ideals and still considered themselves Muslims. Islam is no different from any other religion; there are extreme forms and non-extreme forms. Sorry that doesn't mesh with your view of reality, but that's usually the case when your view of reality is bigoted.
Even the ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel who assault people because they see them using a phone on the Sabbath? You could easily make the same arguments you make against Islam against Judaism, using the exact same sample size.
Yeah it's american muslims who try to keep facts out of public school textbooks and prevent people from making personal decisions about their sexuality. Yeah it's american muslims who control the media and fuel warfare for profit around the globe.
Lol, the ratio of veil-wearing to non veil-wearing Muslim women has to be pretty radically charged to the veil-wearing side. And I would love to see those non-veil wearing women profess their love for Islamic beliefs in a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia. I can see that going well. Hypocritical cunts.
Hahaha. Yep, Muslims sure love homosexuality. And if there were Muslim-run schools in the US, I don't even want to know what they would put in their school textbooks. Like I said, the lesser of two evils.
don't get me wrong man. I have no love for Islam and all the assbackwards baggage it carries. It's just that Christfags are doing this country much worse at the moment. most American mudslimes I know are ok people.
If I said I was a Reconstructionist Jew in the wrong neighborhood of Jerusalem, I might be killed (severely beaten if not) for being an "apikoros" (the Hebrew word for a Jew-turned-infidel). Even in the rest of Israel, there is no version of Judaism allowed except Orthodox Judaism. But this is America, where people are free to be progressive if they want to, even Muslims. That's why I don't live in Israel, and that's why they don't live in Saudi Arabia. The people building this community center are progressive Muslims, which means they are fulfilling America's promise as much as I am. They have nothing to do with the Islam that is stuck in the "dark ages."
Jewish extremism is a complete joke compared to Muslim extremism. Like I said before, I'll gladly take the lesser of two evils.
But the people building this community center aren't Muslim extremists, so you have absolutely nothing to be angry over. Also, Jewish extremists have done a pretty good job at pwning Muslim extremists since 1948.
it's just a rough amalgamation of population statistics. outside of fundementalist strongholds like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Great Britain, most Muslim women do not cover their faces. That leaves Idonesia, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon etc etc. Most women will wear a scarf, but that's not a veil.
You've heard some of the things the guy behind the mosque has said, right? He's not a saint in any shape or form.
It's not a mosque, first of all. Secondly, there isn't a "guy behind it"; it's a group called the Cordoba Initiative, which is a group of progressive Muslims devoted to building interfaith relations.
he said that the United States was responsible for more innocent deaths than Al Qaeda, so it sounds like he has his head in the right place well the scarf isn't any worse than a Jew beanie imo. it's just a silly thing that silly people who believe silly things wear to show the world how silly they are. it's different from having your face hidden from the world, lest you be seen as "uncovered meat"
What Elmo fails/refuses to understand/accept is that Christfags are a much, much bigger threat to our way of life than any retard Mudslime living under a rock in Wariozistan.
Feisal Abdul Rauf? He said the USA's policies led to 9/11, which I agree with. So would any sensible person. He also refuses to call Hamas a terrorist organization, but not because he agrees with Hamas; it's because "terrorism" isn't a neutral term and the issue is much more complex than that. Direct quote: "Look, I'm not a politician. The issue of terrorism is a very complex question... I am a peace builder. I will not allow anybody to put me in a position where I am seen by any party in the world as an adversary or as an enemy." Those are hardly extreme beliefs for a Muslim.
ITT Elmo STILL can't distinguish between culture and religion, even after the perfectly clear explanation for his question in the Honor Killings thread.
