Do you really believe all Muslims are terrorists?

Yes of course you do.

Oh, sorry, "freedom fighters".

If you can't associate the highest population of terrorists with mulsim, you have comprehension issues.

Would you care as much about the beloved muslims if they were Christians and sent their kids places as bombs?

I'm no fan of Islam but is it possible this is some sad attempt at solidarity?

Not sure what can be done about this... I'm all for taxing religious institutions though.

I don't think anyone here is as shallow as you want to paint them .

Classy is using sound reasoning. As are you .
As for your Muslim=terrorist . None here believe all Muslims are Evil terrorist.

You sure about that? I sure am not.

I see a lot of people here that think all Muslims are terrorists, or at least since many are, we are legally allowed to persecute them (deport them all, kill them, make them 2nd class citizens, etc...)

There are plenty of people here that think Muslims should even be allowed in the US.

Has any ONE of you who is opposed to this

1. Researched why they chose this site and this date
2. Asked even one Muslim their feelings on the choice to put a mosque there?

3. Forgiven your ancestors for atrocities committed in your name? And if not does that mean you are in agreement with all bad things done by whites, Christians and Americans?

Yes all 1 billion Muslims are terrorists. We should set up death camps to eliminate all 1 billion of them.

I don't care about their garbage religion. I care about having common decency. You guys support Westboro, right?

+1

Lets put a Westbro style church in then middle of the Castro District in SF or in the Village in New York. Then lets see how the liberals react.

So in your mind, liberals like people who live in San Francisco but hate people who live in New York. Am I getting this right or are you saying something different?

Is the site of the old world trade centers dirt and cement or what is it now.. Is it Sacred Ground.. What was it before you made it sacred ground?

Who gets to choose how we recognize the old wtc site and what people are enlightened enough to be allowed to go near it

ALL of them, no. The ones who want to build a mosque there? At minimum they are insensitive crapbags, which is funny considering the amount of crap they give other people (hello, Jihad @ cartoonists!) At worst they are people who think that 911 is a day to be celebrated by muslims.

You don't think we have a right to complain about it? You dont think it's justified that we complain?

No you are not and completely missed the point.


If there were a Westbro style church in the gay quarters of SF (maybe near a Harvey Milk memorial site) or New York there wouldn't be any outrage right? Please

Hmm.....who would support this the most?

Why does it matter? It has nothing to do with the present issue. Unless of course you're an idiot that lacks any ability to think critically about individual issues and have to get your viewpoints from talking heads on either side of the aisle.

Tricky situation, this.

Here is my stand:

To deny them the permits would be contrary to our Constitution; which forbids government intrusion in religion AND, if it is read correctly, forbids government intrusion on private property.

That said, what they are doing IS tasteless and a clear insult. So the only recourse is PRIVATE and peaceful action, NOT government.

This is where private protest comes in, and citizen blockades would work. Hell, have sit-ins and close the place down. But it has to be done by citizens, not the government.

For if we give the government the power to regulate one belief, we give them the power to regulate all belief. Same as to private property.

Let them try and open their mosque next to ground zero on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

What % of mulims have you heard complaining about the "radical islamists"?

0. Muslims don't give a shit. The last Muslim I spoke with was an electrical engineer looking at the cost effectiveness of solar panels for charging batteries when he's out camping. I guess the only reason he didn't start ranting about America is because he was in a hurry :rolleyes:

The only thing tasteless in this whole affair is the fact that some humans here claim Islam and not Osama and his intolerance and hate and prejudice took down those towers

What has Islam done to stop the radicals who lay claim to their religion?

What has America done promote non-radical islam.. Have they funded violent leaders who have oppressed and enslaved the peoples the americans help put them in charge of

Have you given much thought to the death we helped to promote in that region during the iran/iraq war.. yet we here in America sit back and only point fingers... outward

IF THIS never happened would the radicals be any less radical today

Do Christians sit back all the time trying to figure out how to stop others who are not Christians from making Christians look bad?

Was Osama the representative for every Muslim? That is what you all are saying.. you know that right?

Maybe if the Muslim community did a better job policing itself when people commit crimes in the name of their religion you might have a point but everyone just sits around and does nothing.

Same thing with illegal immigration. If the legal immigrants would police themselves and turn in illegal immigrants states like AZ wouldn't need to take the measures they took.

Maybe you should start your flight training lessons now?
Real men use explosives.

There are a lot of oxidizers out there to pick. Nitrates and chlorates are good. Perchlorate is stronger. These are good as sodium or potassium salts but ammonium is probably the most reactive salt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_nnnBmMbM

Oklahoma City was done using ammonium nitrate oxidizer with nitromethane fuel. A chlorate or perchlorate oxidizer would have a bigger boom but you're more likely to accidentally kill yourself when handling it; it's very unstable.



Real real men use freedom. Leave them the hell alone! It's a free country.
