yeah, OK moslems, Americans are bigots. You might as well GO HOME!
NeoKong commented:
Uh hoh man…this is November on a silver platter.
Could they possibly be more offensive….?
Khan Krum commented:
It became o.k. to “be a bigot and a racist” again after we figured out that those terms mean nothing and we have to make a decision after considering all options with “an open mind”. After doing so we have learned that Islam is a violent movement that seeks to destroy the West and either bring non-Muslims into submission or kill them. If the conclusion I’ve reached is bigotted or racist, then so be it.
Marsh commented:
When did it become ok again to be a racist and a bigot? Good question! Ever since the left thought it would be a good idea to discriminate against and demonize whites, Christians and males would be my guess.

Building a “cultural center”,to promote dialogue and peace by stating Americans are bigots,racists and ground zero is not important,is only going to galvinize Americans to oppose this construction.Moreover,the real victums are the people who died from people representing your religion on 9/11,not your self importance when people oppose your plans.
I would seek out property mayor Bloomberg owns and ask him permission to build a mosque there .

This video needs to be spread around the web, as Jamie points out that these particular protestors and their words will no doubt get very little – if any – coverage on the mainstream networks.
“Don’t upset the narrative.” and all that…

Sounds familiar. Look at what’s happening in Australia.

If I was a muslim, I’d be embarrassed by that crowd of nitwits. Ad hominems and lies are is all they have.
No! Wait!
If I was a muslim, I’d have a lump of feces for brains and I’d think they were dhimmi dimwits and cowards.
Trencherbone commented:
‘Religious’ tolerance?
The privileges of being classed as religion should be withdrawn from Islam.
If Hitler had claimed that ‘Mein Kampf’ was dictated by God, would we be forced to tolerate the Nazi Party as a religion? Islam is first and foremost a mind-destroying, totalitarian political ideology that spreads through the Body Politic like a virus.
Winston Churchill gave the correct diagnosis over a century ago, when he compared Islam to a contagious virus or meme – ‘as dangerous in a man as rabies in a dog’ http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/islam-murder-meme-and-rabies-of.html
Consequently, Islam should be reclassified from ‘RELIGION’ to ‘PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM’ – a virulent contagious mental illness. It could then be contained by the methods used to prevent the spread of typhoid and other lethal epidemics: enforced exclusion and quarantine of carriers, eradication of foci of infection, immunization of the susceptible population etc.
Subadar Lal Khukri commented:
MC,
Please don’t call them “muzterds.” They may get angry and blow up a large building or massacre an entire elementary school.
The filthy cowards . . .
JonahVark commented:
In regard to the ground zero mosque, did you ever read Bin Ladins’s Fatwa that was issued three years before 9/11? This is chilling!
Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders
World Islamic Front Statement
23 February 1998
“The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies — civilians and military — is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it……………. We — with Allah’s help — call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allah’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it ……..”
http://www.fas.org/irp/world/para/docs/980223-fatwa.htm
Usama Bin Ladin has been calling for Muslims to kill Americans since February, 1998. Do I believe all Muslims want to kill Americans? Absolutely not! But how are we supposed to know the difference between those Muslims who want to live in peace and those who want to see us dead?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_Trade_Center,_NY_-_2001-09-11_-_Debris_Impact_Areas.svg“>United Airlines Flight 175 crashed through the 78th through 84th floors of the South Tower (WTC 2) on 9/11. The landing gear of this flight sheared through the outer walls, descending over 80 stories, piercing through the roof then tearing through two more stories inside of the Burlington Coat Factory becoming coming to rest under a blanket of dust, debris and the ash of incinerated human flesh.
To deny the characterization of the Burlington Coat Factory as part and parcel of Ground Zero is insideous treachery.
It is this very characterization which Daisy Khan, her husband Imam Rauf and all the triumphalism in Islam treasures.

Racists and bigots?
Ask a muslim what they think of a kaffir. Ask them what they think of non-Muslims. Ask them what they do to Christians in the ME. How they rip Christian babies in half in front of their parents in Egypt…
There is no end to the muslims hatred, bigotry, brutality, and evil plans toward others.
Granny commented:
Trencherbone, #12 – Islam has much in common with Nazism. Grand Mufti Amin Al Husseini spent most of WWII in Berlin & headed the 13th SS’s Handschar Division – 100% muslim. Many escaped Nazi war criminals went to the countries of the mideast and a number of them converted to islam. To this day, Mein Kampf remains one of the most popular books in the Arab world, as do the Protocols of Zion. You might recall that there have been at least one (and I believe 2) “made for TV” versions of the Protocols in the Mideast in recent years.
Much, much more here – http://www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com/

Two days ago another blog, IOwnTheWorld, it had a link to Bare Naked Islam which had video of a muslim man/father aiding a 12 year old in sawing off another person’s head. I couldn’t watch it myself, but read the comments on IOTW.
Aside from the gore, people commented on the heartlessness instilled in the boy. It was like a dad teaching his son how to cut a fish.
They sear their hearts.
DINORight commented:
“Winston Churchill gave the correct diagnosis over a century ago, when he compared Islam to a contagious virus or meme – ‘as dangerous in a man as rabies in a dog’” -Trencherbone
Ah, that explains why The Won had the bust of Churchill sent back to England! Churchill was insulting his family, his friends, his supporters…….even him, since he is classified as a Muslim by Islam’s holy book, and has obvious sympathies toward all things Muslim. Just like his “church” back in Chicago, and the Rev. Wright – open, public supporters of Muslims and the Palestinians.
That explains sooooo much………..
These hate-filled bigots at the protest in NYC are projecting – THEY are the hate-filled bigots and racists. They are the ones who want to destroy the West, especially the “Zionists” and Americans. Projection is a stable for the leftist.

Granny commented:
DINOright – that bust was sent back because of Obama’s Kenyan roots. I cannot find the exact quotation that I want, but something he said at the time about “our history” made it very clear his “our” and our “our” are two different things. He was talking about Kenyan history.

Jonah, it pleases me very much to say that this steaming pile of excrement has been excluded from the precedent of Islamic law. Bin Laden called it a “fatwa” — but it is not.
The real Muslim scholars and clerics are not moving nearly fast enough for me, but they are moving about as fast with the issue of terrorists as the Catholic Church is with the questions raised by pedophiles.
Yup, the scandal raised by the Muslim Brotherhood is about as old as the oldest, current set of pedophile cases. For great evil to exist, it only requires that good people fail to pay attention.

This is a great comment from BFH on IOTW:
“I’ve said it a zillion times.
Moderate Islam is only different in one way than radical Islam. It’s the speed of the jihad. Their goals are EXACTLY the same – world domination. It’s part of being a Muslim.
The moderate will achieve it “peacefully.” That is what they probably mean by religion of “peace.”
They will take their time, do it through procreation and for the most part stealthily.
The radical wants world domination in their lifetime. The infidels shouldn’t just merely be absorbed through numbers, they will take what they want, when they want it because they are MEN not egg timers.
Rauf is not a moderate. He agrees with the speed, and he is the clean shaven face of the barbarism who shakes your hand as he plants the victory flag right in your goddamn face. What good is the destruction of the WTC if you aren’t advancing on the territory.
The left are either accomplices or really really stupid.
The constitution shouldn’t even be in this discussion.
This is a friggin war. I don’t care how many assurances leftist geniuses give us dunces.”
Granny commented:
Here’s more from Daisy Khan about the “islamophobia” of thos of us who oppose the mosque -
“We are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized antisemitism,” said Daisy Khan, who is spearheading the project with her husband, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. “It’s beyond Islamophobia. It’s hate of Muslims.”

Real American commented:
I live in New York. I was here on September 11.
I understand, as both George W. Bush and Barack Obama have made clear, that the terrorists are Islamic fundamentalists perverting a great religion, not to be confused with ordinary Muslims.
Every religion has, at one time or another been used by fundamentalists of all stripes.
Just think about this. What if some terrorist claiming to represent your religion attacked us. Then what if, because of that attack, people associated you with the terrorists, yelled at you and called you insulting names, and prevented you from worshipping where you wanted to.
That is what’s happening now and frankly I can’t believe it’s happening in America, the greatest country on earth. We need to live up to our beliefs of religious freedom for everyone.

AcadieAnne commented:
Someone needs to ask the left when it became ok to be misogynists again. After the treatment of Hillary and Palin in ’08, and now their push to build a mosque dedicated to furthering sharia in the US, no lefty has any grounds to call themselves a feminist or supporter of women’s rights, imo.

This sounds like another variation of the “perfection fallacy” that have been used for moral equivalency. America is not perfect and Iran is not perfect. So there is no difference between America and Iran.
I wonder why some people are so determined to make excuse for the bigoted and radical jihadists in this case?

Why not let them build the Mosque? Then we can fly a plane into it during Friday prayers!

Question for Victory Mosque supporters:
When you watch video of 9/11 collapse of towers and the dust of it all spreads throughout lower Manhattan, where do we draw the line of Ground Zero? It is not just the footprint of the towers.

This is the standard behavior of the left in Germany and Austria, but also in other EU countries.
A few months ago some leftists tried to annoy a BPE protest (BPE is the Citizens’ Movement Pax Europa, one of the largest in Europe.) They started to chant “Nazis raus!” (throw the nazis out), but the BPE folks, who outnumbered the leftists massively, picked it up and also chanted “Nazis raus!” which thorougly confused the leftists, proving once again that the average leftist stormtropper is a dunce.

Jasser:I’ll first tell you what it is not- it’s not Islamophobia. If anyone is to blame for the existence of the concept of Islamophobia, if it even exists, it
is Muslims who have been unable to articulate a manifestation of Islam which is free of a political state which threatens the sovereignty of the states in which Muslims reside. I don’t subscribe to the existence of the notion of Islamophobia because I believe that we are in just the beginning of a global conflict of political ideologies (Islamism vs. Americanism), and the conflation of “Islamophobia” is intentional by Islamists to deflect Americans and the free world from the necessary debate of political ideologies.]

My condolences if you lost anyone in the 9/11 attack. I can empathize with the feeling of seeing your city in pain; I still can’t look at any media about the Katrina devastation without crying.
However, I lived in the middle east, and I must disagree with your assessment that Islam is a great religion. Unless you think women walking silently behind men, covered in a black cloth sack from head to toe with only their down-cast eyes showing, in constant danger of death, mutilation, and/ or abandonment, and executions of homosexuals constitutes a great religion. I did not only see this poor treatment of women when I lived in the middle east, I see it now in the US when I go to Walmart. I get so angry every time I see a woman covered head to toe in this heat and humidity walking behind a man in shorts that I fear I’m not living up to the second part of the greatest commandment.
As an ex-pat in a “progressive” middle eastern country, I “only” had to wear sleeved, ankle-length dresses at all times. If I was assaulted for my provocative apparel (which happened once), the only consequence was that it sucked to be me.
As has been said before, if there were truly peace-loving members in Islam, they would root out the terrorists themselves instead of funding and sheltering them. When they do, and treat women like human beings, I’ll reconsider some of my stances.
I have heard there are around 100 mosques in New York. If this is true, why do they need this building so badly? If their true purpose is healing and to bring people together, why insist on building more gender segregated places of worship, that non-muslims won’t be able to enter, in an area where there is significant opposition? How does this bring healing and togetherness?

The “bigotry” is all theirs. These folks are projecting -BIG TIME.
This is a very old tactic and a heinous trick to disguise their unmerited arrogance and sense of entitlement.
Bella commented:
I’ve had enough of hearing about “homophobia” and Daisy and her whining about being so mistreated. I absolutely hate what was done on 9/11, an attack on this country. All my life I have heard “we have never been attacked on American soil.” Well, we were in 2001 and it was brutal and premeditated to the last detail. The very nerve of Daisy complaining about the fact that what she is doing is offensive. I would call killing thousands of Americans is just a tad of Ameriphobia and if she thinks we will forget, she better think again.
