    do you? well then i assume you are checking where ALL the funding comes from for all the Religious institutions in the area because you're not just singling out Muslims, right?

    you really neeed to give your head a shake.. If it's no big deal than why wont the emam or whatever the hell he is tell anyone. Obviously he doesn't want people to know if he did he would make his records public.

    Does this mean that I am right in assuming your income is illegal? If it's not, what do you have to hide. Show us your finances. What's the big deal?

    In this country we do not assume guilt.

    If you honestly believe a politician (any of them no matter what they believe) thinks or acts like their ideology is more important than their re-election and maintaining their position of power, you are seriously insane. And last I checked our nation and constitution is founded on religious freedom. Perhaps you should read it instead of using it as more of a catch phrase or mouthpiece? And can you generalize any more about "the left" or the mb" any more.. it's pure stupidity.

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    but thats what youve just done by demanding he release his records. i dont see why just because the bigots are 'concerned' the man should assuage that concern. do you not think its been looked into already. do you not trust your government to make sure all the funding for this project is above board? why dont you show us your finances so we can be sure youre not contributing any money to anything related to terrorism or anything else that threatens the united states.

    i'm looking into opening a strip club next to this mosque


    anyone wanna be partners with me

    :P


    i just can't wait till a terrorist uses this mosque as a backdrop for a weekly anti-american rant and praises this as a victory against america. maybe bin laden will give a statement bout this and say how it's a victory for jihad from his cave. haven't seen him in a while.

    You can hand out fliers to the members of the mosque, possibly recruit some of their women.

    ok, i've read this. now i'll ask you again: because of this, and anything else you've read or seen online, do you think that every single person that doesn't want that mosque built that close to ground zero is anti muslim? that's my only question.
    i'll gladly answer that myself as well, but only after you clarify what you mean by anti-muslim.

    no, that's ok. i don't need to know what you're answer to that question is. i just wanted to know what gimme had to say.

    and if you really want to know what is meant by "anti muslim" (i really doubt you do, but whatever), you're asking the wrong person. i didn't come up with the phrase. it was something in one of gimme's articles, and i think he had used the term in a post. i could be wrong about that, though. i don't have every single one of his posts memorized.

    you my friend listen to Palin too much and are a bit out of touch with reality

    you might try to say the same about me since I have a different point of view then yours however I try to stay away from the extremes, assumptions and generalizations


    overall on this topic.....

    it is not a good idea to start telling religious organization where they can build what, regardless of where you stand on this one

    if you don't think that the US Gov is tracking where the money is coming from for this project you are wrong. We might not know but they are watching it very closely I am sure.

    lastly (and this is not necessarily my point of view more of me trying to make a point) but if you wanted to watching a large population in a large US city, why not let them building a big ass community center where they will all gather and you can take attendance on their way in

    Mmmm..
    so, for the second time, can you clarify what you mean by that statement? including the mmm.
    bump for the prfctlefts.

    still waiting for clarification as to what you are insinuating.

    third time i've asked.

  • How is that absurd ? You know I don't get it you people mostlly on the left will bend over fucking bacwards when it comes to not offending muslims,but when it comes to offending christians or jews it's open season. It really makes me sick.. It has nothing to with freedom of religion it has to do with respect for the famalies that lost loved ones on that day.. I wonder if many of you would have been ok with this a year after 911.. This mosque will attract fanatics mark my word... :(

    this has EVERYTHING to do with freedom of religion. sorry man, but for most americans, the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion trumps every other variable or issue in this case. you are against national health insurance, yet you are all about these families that lost people on 9/11. i lost a former roommate, his dad, and their family friend. you don't see me callling for vengeance and death/war nor do you see me calling for new york to block this mosque.

    why are the families that lost loved ones on 9/11 more important in your eyes than those that lost loved ones to medical conditions not covered by private insurance companies? slow painful deaths due to pre-existing conditions. families bankrupted by medical bills the same as those on 9/11 lost a bread winner..in my opinion it is the same thing. those on 9/11 were killed by religious zealots while those that died due to lack of insurance are victims of capitalists who are just as zealous about their profits as the religious zealots are about their faith...

    The mosque will attract fanatics in the same manner that a Catholic church attracts abortion clinic bombers and pedophiles.

    And what about the family members of the Muslims who died on 9/11? It wasn't just WMAs working in the World Trade Center, you know.

    For the record, this is 100% about freedom of religion. I would've been fine with this a year after 9/11, and I would've been fine with it on 9/12/01 too. Why? Because I don't judge entire religions based on the whack job fringe members who align themselves with that religion. You clearly do, but you don't appear to apply that same line of thinking to other religions. Unless of course you like pedophiles, which would explain why you're not on AMT complaining about the Catholic church continuing to use Sunday School as a one-stop-shop to find little boys.

    You got mad at me for calling you a hypocrite earlier, but this is EXACTLY why I called you a hypocrite. Every religion has assholes hiding in the corners, but you appear to only want to condemn one particular religion based on its assholes. Until you turn that same prejudiced eye against every religion and slander all of them based on their asshole minorities, then I'll continue to call you a hypocrite.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Now you are putting words in my mouth thanks.. Can we please stay on topic ? Why do you always insist on changing the subject. For the record I have never stuck up for ins companies. Also when has anybody been ever thrown out on the street or denied medical attention ? That's bull shit and you know it. Hell there's a hospital in tennesse that is almost going bankrupt bcos they have to treat so many people due to chemical explosions from trying to cook meth. They get treated even if they don't have ins. There are dozens of programs out there to help people that need it. I think you are confusing our system with europes system..

    Back to the subject.. I know what the first amenment says dude ok ? No one at least not me is denying them their frredom to worship.. It's the location and just becuase you can do something doesn't mean that you should. I am fully aware that their were muslims that died on 911 and their were also muslims dancing in the street at liberty park and thier are muslims that don't think this is a good idea. What about the families that lost people that day ? Don't they have a voice ? IMO this is very disrespectful and they the supporters of the cordoba project are the ones who are intolerant. Its funny how you guys Left prostrates itself concerning Islam, but becomes unglued when there is even a hint of Christianity in our civic life. Go figure.. :?

    http://instruct.westvalley.edu/faulstic ... ut.pdfBurn victims like Houchens are increasingly popping up in hospitals
    across the country. In Tennessee, meth‑lab seizures have skyrocketed, from 226 in 2000 to 942 in 2004, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. When labs explode, they not only kill and maim the cooks; they wreak financial
    havoc on the facilities that treat them, since the vast majority of meth victims lack health insurance. Meth patients’ treatment is expensive -- $10,000 per day on average at Vanderbilt. But the hospital can at best recover about 30 percent of that from the state Medicaid program, which is already
    overextended. In Houchens’s case, his hospital charges totaled more than $553,000, only $110,000 of which was recovered from Kentucky Medicaid. As many as a third of Vanderbilt’s burn cases at a given time in the past year have been meth‑related.

    Do you know how ridiculous you sound ? Probably not. For like the 10000th time IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FREEDOM OF RELIGION !!! It's the location. You got that Mcfly?? Hello is anybody in there ? Also I don't base an entire religion on fanatics. and yeah i just lover pedophiles :roll: :roll: Just so you know it sickens me.. I think it's you guys on the left that are hypocrites. I'll say it again all you guys will bend over backwards when it comes to sticking up for Islam and rights for terrorist. People who would cut your head off and not think twice about it.. And lets not forget how the women are treated in the midddle east, and let's not forget about all the mercy killings that have even happened right here in the states. let's not forget about the christians and jews who are slaughtered on a regular basis just for being christian or jewish in the middle east. Let's not forget about the humanatarian workers who were just executed in Afghanastan just for having a bible with them.
    What about the danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, was burnt to death just for drawing objectionable caricatures of Mohammad and all the havoc that cuased ?

    and yet you are doing the same thing you accuse me of when you say the Catholic church continuing to use Sunday School as a one-stop-shop to find little boys. So i guees you are acussing all catholic priest of beig pedophiles.


    But when it comes to christians and jews fuck em who cares. Organized religion is evil..
