NYPOST: Hamas supports Ground Zero Mosque

The point of the post (and my thanks to the Moderators, as I completely cocked up the rules here) was that Hamas' support of the Ground Zero Mosque coincides with the President's support for the GZ Mosque ... the meeting of extreme Islam on the one hand and Democratic, egalitarian religious tolerance on the other. I find it odd that both Hamas and Mr. Obama agree that Muslims "must have houses of worship" (regardless of location) in order for America (not the greater Islamic world) to show "compassion and religious egalitarianism."

No one has yet asked the itching questions:

I think most of those questions have pretty obvious answers.

-When will Islam show its religious egalitarianism? Tolerance?

Religions promote their own religion and have the idea that only their religion is the correct path. So why would they promote the idea that all religions are equal or treat other religions as equal?

-When will Mecca, the holiest of Islamic cities, hold a Gay Pride Parade?
As far as I know mecca does not have parades and homosexuality is a major sin in that religion.(as well as other religions) So the idea that they would allow a parade for something their religion not only opposes but considers a major sin in one of their most sacred cities is totally absurd.

-When will the Islamic world build synagogues and churches?[/COLOR]

Why would any religious group build a a religious building for a competing religion It would be like Wal-Mart building a K-Mart or Sears.
 
Of course they support it. It's a long-standing Islamic tradition to build a mosque at the point of a great conquest. It's like crapping in your front yard, then rubbing your nose in it.

When I crap in the front yard others, I don't rub their nose in it.
That would be just weird. :shock:
 
Don't go to Saudi Arabia...problem solved. I wouldn't go there either; place sucks.

Let's build a gay bar right next to the mosque!! Call it "al-Gaybar", or غاي با

What was the gay bar in Police Academy? I think it should be that one.

Maybe because it is irrelevant perhaps?

It is a sad day in America when who gets the right to do what hinges not on our constitution but something stupid like the customs and social norms of people in a country thousands of miles away from here.
 
The Hamas terrorist group's expression of support for the Mosque is irrelevant. It does not change the fundamental issues at hand. What would be a problem is if some involved in the project were providing material assistance to Hamas. However, there are laws in place to prosecute individuals and institutions that provide material support to terrorist groups.
 
Hamas nod for Ground Zero mosque
Terror group's leader: 'Have to build it'
By S.A. MILLER in Washington and TOM TOPOUSIS in New York

I have a question. If David Duke said that a church needed to be built in a specific place, would we then stop building it?

Probably depends on the area he would be advocating.

Two thoughts:
1. I wonder what Hamas thinks of the color blue
2. I am pretty sure Hamas is in favor of building mosques pretty much everywhere since they are islamic.
 
Yes, I would urge that the "David Duke Church" be "stopped" for the same reason the Islamic Society/Cordoba House should be stopped and moved.

GZ is hallowed ground.

The Islamists should move elsewhere and listen to the will of New Yorkers and those who are victims of Islamic terrorism.

Quit making sense!

NYers are the ones who said that it's okay.

Did David Duke kill over 3,000 Americans citing his religion when doing it?
 
Wrong again. It was not voted on by new yorkers. City employees decided.

This isn't rome, so we use a representative democracy instead of a direct one.

Moreover, I was referring to polling, which shows that people in manhattan don't share your sense of outrage.
 
I can tell you with a great amount of certainty that, the Imam and the mosque attendees haven't.

But the Imam blamed America for 9.11 not the terrorists and we have no idea where his money is coming from.

Meanwhile, a Greek Othodox church that was destroyed on 9.11 still can't get their permits approved by the city. Why is that?

Does that change the accuracy of my statement? Nope.

I wasn't talking to you. I didn't even quote you.

So, he's entitled to say and/or think whatever he wants.
You're certainly not the arbitrator of all that is fair and good in this nation.

Don't know and don't care, if something comes out about the city denying them based on religious discrimination, then we'll have something to talk about.
Right now, it's a straw man.

Of course not. I said it in dispute of your characterization of the man.

Its a fact. The question is why. Exactly how is that a straw man? Explain yourself.
