Swacgirl has word of a protest at Ground Zero.
A rally will take place today in New York City from Noon until 3:00 p.m. Eastern time to protest the building of a mosque next to Ground Zero.
Tolerance is expected, desired,wanted, but do we have to lie down and be walked upon?
3000 people were killed there in the name of Islam. Must we allow a tribute to Islam at the same location? A mosque at that location would be like a statue honoring the 19 homicide bombers.
I think that is a step beyond tolerance. It is submission.

I cried through that whole footage...I have not forgotten, it is with me every day. It would be intrinsically wrong to put a mosque at that place where so many died in the name of "Islam" Put it somewhere else where we can be tolerant of those who want to follow those teachings with good intentions.Leave Ground Zero alone.
ReplyDeleteMost Americans go out of their way to be tolerant. What is being proposed in NYC is thumbing the nose at NYC, America, and all those who died.
ReplyDeleteWe must remember, there were Muslims who died that day on 9/11/2001 too. I don't know what's more disturbing. The alleged terrorists? Or all these Islamophobiacs(fear of Islam)?:
ReplyDeleteMuslims who died at ground zero:
I. Abdoul Karim Traor's name must surely be there. He emigrated to New York from the Ivory Coast, and died at work on the morning of September 11. A cook for Windows on the World, his coworkers remember him as hard-working, funny, kind. He left behind a widow and three children, who were aged 8, 3 and 1 when he died. Abdoul Karim Traor was also a Muslim.
II. Touri Bolourchi was a 69-year-old mother of two, a grandmother, and a nurse when she boarded United Flight 175 in Boston. The fact that she was also a Muslim did not deter the five hijackers on that flight from killing her with 60 others when they flew that plane into Tower 2 at 9:01 a.m. Would Rick Lazio call it a security risk for Ms. Bolourchi's grandchildren to visit the memorial, then walk to Park51 to pray for their grandmother?
III. No one called it a "provocation" or "security risk" when the doors of the Disaster Assistance Center on 141 Worth Street opened and welcomed anyone who made it out of the World Trade Center, or its vicinity, alive. When I worked there for the Salvation Army, my fellow caseworkers included Muslims, Hispanics, blacks and whites, Jews and Christians, Asians and Middle Easterners. We looked like New York City.
The alleged terrorists???????
ReplyDeleteThe terrorists are killing not just non believers, they are killing other Muslims who are not as devout.... http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/index.html#Attacks
How about just US? http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/AmericanAttacks.htm
You can't make an extremist terrorist group the face of an entire religion. They want to build an 'Islamic Cultural Center', which is not a mosque. What ever happened to religious tolerance? 3000 people were killed and the crazy extremists said it was in the name of Islam. Every sane Muslim knows that what they did was horrible. If you want to discriminate against an entire religion because of what one group did, then that's just sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Al-taqiyya?
ReplyDeleteWhere is your outrage or sadness about the absence of churches in Muslim countries? Is it sad that they discriminate again Every other religion?
What is wrong with requiring reciprocal fairness? If the Muslims want to build a mosque on hallowed ground, they will get their construction permits as soon as Christians or Jews can build a worship center in Mecca. The doctrine of religious equality should be supported by the USA. If one religion demands religious freedom, then they need to be a supporter of the doctrine. They shouldn't enjoy it while denying it for others different from them.
ReplyDeletedo you know how many people where murdered in the name of christianity well you lived by the glaive you will die by it
ReplyDeleteA glaive is a European polearm weapon, consisting of a single-edged blade on the end of a pole.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, Is that a threat? Or is it just an ill worded comment?
