Local (Houston) Talk Radio Host Calls for Blowing Up of Mosque

I still can't believe that the Taliban blew up the ancient statues of Buddha in Afganastan.

Either way, both drawing a cartoon of Mohammad and putting a mosque close to the twin towers are tacky, IMO.

But I support the rights of both groups to do it........

same ole silly song

is there actual outrage in the chron article or just reporting, just like they reported quanell's statements

 

Wall Street is filled with people from all over the world. There are mini-churches, synagogues and temples and now a planned mosque. Not a big deal.

Also what other way to show the nutjob extremists the beauty of America than to have a mosque right next to where they tried to 'strike at the heart of American capitalism'.

Thats a pretty crappy comment from Michael Berry and should be condemned. Granted Quanell and others say stupid things all the time too, but that doesn't excuse the fact saying someone should blow up a place of worship for a religious group. Pretty stupid stuff on his behalf.

 

I think everyone can agree on that.

I have nothing to say about the layers of hypocrisy in this thread or the article itself, I just would like to mention one thing...

Funny how everyone asks why the Muslims don't condemn the terrorists and then in the single largest show of terrorist condemnation and display of solidarity with the American people, the people who want to build this mosque are being ridiculed and questioned.

Frankly, if you don't want the mosque, I hope to God that they don't built it. You don't deserve for someone to show you their support.

I am so incredibly proud of the Muslims who want to build the mosque. They've drawn a line and quite clearly told the terrorists: Islam sides with the victims in America, not the terrorists in America.

Osama Bin Laden is fuming with anger, just like you guys. Think about that for a second.

 

I don't get why people think it's offensive for a mosque to be near the twin towers site. Muslims died in 9/11 too.

It's one thing to say no religious institution should be built near the 9/11 sites, but to single out one is just unamerican in my opinion.

 

I just did. What makes you think that?

 

Way to always make it PERSONAL.

I'm going to hunt you down and punch your dog in the face.

 

who in this thread is fuming with anger?...besides the guy arguing with DD

 

A fair enough point.

Did these people bother to ask the victims what they thought of the idea, since you know, they are standing beside them, right?


DD

 

Ugh... please don't use words if you have no idea of their meaning.

Now, calm down there, moes. He wasn't hurtin' nobody (talk show hosts aren't people).

 

If the victims want to blame Muslims as a group for 9/11, why should anyone respect that? Its not like they have some special wisdom on this issue.

 

Hmmmm, you are right, perhaps I was thinking of Projection.

Mathloom said that they were making a point that Islam sides with the victims.....

Common courtesy would dictate that you ask the victims families if they want this support.

Because otherwise, it looks a whole lot like grandstanding to me.....

DD

 

Conservatives are so stupid that they can be Jedi mind tricked into saying that houses of worship should be blown up. Classic...

 

Terrorism for Terrorism?

 

Muslims shouldn't have to ask for special permission. The very act of asking "Is this ok?" is legitimizing the anti-Muslim backlash. Its a show of good will, but if the victims or anyone else doesn't like it because they dislike Muslims then tough. They need to get over their pettiness.

 

Yep, grandstanding...."we will show you our support by shoving it down your throats, whether you like it or not."

Sounds just like the cartoon drawers, doesn't it?


DD

 

There is a similarity, but then I didn't have a problem with the cartoon drawers either.
