Commercial Banned From CBS

A group wishes to build a mosque near Ground Zero and many (surprise) are not too happy. So a different group produces this commercial and tries to get it on TV. Story. I, once again, am in the minority on this one. To me, Mosque = Muslim but not Mosque = al qaeda. And there is, after all, a huge difference. Now if the group wants to build it because of "in your face" intentions, I got a problem with it. But if it's just a bunch of peaceful folks who wish to worship, I have a hard time stereotyping them as wannabe killers.

It may start out with good intentions, but odds are, once it is built - the real purpose of the location will be an issue. If the real intent is to worship as they wish, then why do they have to build it there? They should not want to cause offense if all they want to do is worship. There is a reason for the desired location....we are just not being told what the reason is.

Their intentions may not be "in your face", but they have to take into consideration the proximity of the real estate.

It's insensitive. Even if they are more secular Muslims, it's just stupid to build near a site where thousands died because otherwise intelligent men believed a very warped version of Islam.

Even though I defend their right to be that stupid, I'm pissed that we are going to waste money protecting these idiots, because it's going to attract a bunch of wackos, just like in other countries when religion and politics mix. (India, Israel, Iran, Iraq - look at me, all alliterative).

Ground zero is not the place for it! It was radical muslims that took the towers down. They say they are a peaceful religion but look up the Qur'an it teaches differently! Build your damn mosque else where!

The Qur’an Says that Non-Muslims Should Not be Taken as Friends.There are at least nine places in the Qur’an where believers are warned not to befriend non-Muslims:

Instead of befriending non-Muslims, the Qur'an encourages hostility. Muslims are ordered to fight unbelievers.

O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty. (9:123)


The Qur’an Says that People of other religions are to be violently punished in this world.

Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides, whom ye may not know (8:60)

The Qur’an meets every criterion by which we define hate speech. Not only does the message inspire loathing and disregard for others, but the text mandates the superiority of Islam, even if the means of establishment are by force. This my friends is the religion of our dear president.

Not all Muzzies are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muzzies.

The time for cleansing nigh.

When the time comes you'll be glad to know me, Mr. AR 15 and Mr. Glockenspiel.

Some folks just aren't meant to coexist. Christians/Jews and Muslims are a good example of this. You dont have to be a brain surgeon to understand this. Just look at the middle east (and many other parts of the world). F*cking bombs going off all over the place. Not to mention g*damn planes flying into building HERE. It only takes one bad apple to ruin the whole bunch they say. And this group definitely has their bad apples. And I'm not talking about just being terrorists, but they stink like sh*t, stone people to death, treat women like sh*t, have nappy-*ss beards, listen to f*cked up music, don't speak a word of english, etc. etc. Why the f*ck would we want to make America a home to these folks at the same we are getting tired of all the mexicans invading our country.

it would do America good if we all to started telling these dune coons to get the f*ck out.

Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, opened fire at Ft. Hood and Killed 13. He is a good Muslim!!!
Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. Muslims are only peaceful until there's enough of them to intimidate others.

Mosque = Islam = Jihad = Al Qaeda

Pull your heads out of the sand guys. The religion is not peaceful.

How can it NOT be a blatant "in your face" act? These Muslims are supposed to be intelligent people, right? They have freakin' brains, right? THEY KNOW WHAT TOOK PLACE THERE, right? and they want to put up a MUSLIM mosque??
Do they think AMERICANS are IDIOTS??? (well, after the Obama fiasco, they may have a point)....
If these Muslims had ANY decency, they would stay way far the hell away from not only ground zero, but from NY! How DARE they insult Americans this way!

Let me quote an excerpt from:

"I'm 63 and Im Tired"
by Robert A. Hall

"I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor;" of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers;" of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery;" of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to."

enough said!

Hey, before you go around attacking other religions, consider some of the verses that can be found in the Bible:

Psalms 137:9
“Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”

Malachi 2:3 "Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it."

Deuteronomy 22:2829 "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."

Deuteronomy 23:1 "No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord."

Deuteronomy 7:2 "Leave alive nothing that breathes. Show them no mercy."

Ezekiel 23:19-20
"Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions."

1 Samuel 18:25-27
"Saul replied, "Say to David, 'The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.' Saul's plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines. When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king's son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed, David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented the full number to the king so that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage."

That's just a start, so leave people of other religions alone.

12:41 - I am so glad you took the time to post that.

How hyprocritical if those that post Muslem texts knowing full well (I assume) that the Bible has its own frightening, out-of-touch, verses.

yea but our religion (Christianity) has gone through a reformation and we don't fly gd planes into buildings.

Anonymous said...

Barry, do you actually know a group of peaceful Muslims who just wish to worship? Good grief! How naive can you be?

Anonymous said...

2:49 - I assume by your response that you don't know a "group of peaceful Muslims who just wish to worship."

That does not surprise me. I am just guessing that you don't get out much beyond your narrow little world. The terms "diversity" & "multicultural" probably make you angry.

Just because YOU don't know peaceful Muslims, you think they don't exist?

Do YOU know any Muslim terrorist?

So your religion went through a reformation? But God said he never changes, so either you are right and it changed (and the Bible is wrong), or you are wrong and the Bible is right, and God not only allowed these actions, but often promoted them.

Malachi 3:6

“For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.”
