You know, this is why I said this to J:
So the State Department chooses who speaks for America's Muslims? Convenient.The State Dept. says it is this man:
Weasel Zippers » Blog Archive » Obama Adviser Closely Linked to Terror-Supporting Imam Behind Ground Zero Mosque…
Sooooo....

you are laughing at me for my comment, but it does not matter for me, just an advice.
Thanks for your intellectual dishonesty.
You have to watch it backwards and look for the subliminal messages. :thumbs:
I don't see how you can separate the two. It's a cowardly way to mince words imo.
:mrgreen:
Please to be explaining.

Hahah, OK. But in all seriousness, I don't think the John Stewart thing was aimed at those who lost family members. Rather I think he was discussing the people who equate all Muslims to the Al-Queda type, the ones who insist this is a ground zero mosque when it's a few blocks away and a community center, etc. And those are valid. I think people can also be legitimately upset about it; but we have no legal recourse against it.
Of course you can. You can critque silly talking heads and fake outrage without insulting those who suffered loss on 9/11. In fact, i would be more insulted if you treated me as so unable to to see the difference and tried to remove all crititque becasue of my feelings. It's condesending. And too often, it has been dishonest.
I want to know where you used that word Reverend.
I wanna know the context.
Hmmm....All I need here is a middle finger smiley...But that would be stooping to your level wouldn't it....have a nice day Ikari.

So Muslims from all the states and territories got together and unanimously chose this man to speak for them?I guess they do since they are sending him to the ME to raise the funds needed....ah, ahem......Speak to other Muslims about what it's like to be an American Muslim.....

It's not in the S. African context my friend.
Well its a South African Word which is basically our version of the N word. It has no other meaning.
yes, the way you debate is all to often dishonest. :shrug:

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is at the center of efforts to build a mosque near the site of the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York. He is going to the Middle East on a trip funded by the State Department.

Is this where you stop trying to defend your position? Maybe Ikari can get a better response from you.
Now THERE'S an idea I can support!-"for it because then we can turn it all into a joke and make a gay bar next to it" side
Ah, so the State Department runs Islam in America. Gotcha.Nope, Just the State Dept....That is all he needs.

“He is a distinguished Muslim cleric,” said State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley. “We do have a program whereby, through our Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau here at the State Department, we send people from Muslim communities here in this country around the world to help people overseas understand our society and the role of religion within our society.”

“It is to foster greater understanding and outreach around the world, among… Muslim- majority communities,” said Crowley. “We've done this many, many times, with many leading figures… over the past few years.”
