Planned Mosque in California Too Close To Ground Zero

Planned Mosque in California Too Close To Ground Zero

And yet here's another blog entry about a planned Mosque getting erected in some location that is clearly pissing people off since it's too close to ground zero. Our own version of Mecca, it appears.

Here we are just a couple of days till the anniversary. Oh don't tell me you forgot... And what's there to talk about other than how those crazy Mosque are taking over the place. It leads one to wonder if America is really that land to go for freedom of religion. Is America Islamophobic?



That should be like the National Geographic magazine that had the question about evolution being wrong, and have it that when you fold out the cover the other half has YES written on it. Or even better, the cover should simply say America is Isalmophobic because that's the truth and not a we're-just-asking-question dodge on the issue.

Don't you know that you can't build your Mosque on this property you purchased, Don't you know that So Cal is hallowed ground! That Mosque is only two blocks away from where Lindsey Lohan passed out once!



It feels like the worst thing about this whole ordeal is all the strained metaphors used. Well, maybe not the worst thing, but they're still pretty fucking dumb. The article goes on with a lot of choice quotes.

Pastor Bill Rench, whose Calvary Baptist Church sits just across the cul de sac from the mosque site, says Islam and Christianity are like "oil and water" and that Islam is "intolerant at its core". He argues that when Islam becomes dominant in a society, "you also see a repression of freedom of speech and religious expression.

Ha! You don't say. I hear that if certain religions come into power you lose the freedom of choice and all your laws are created by religious right wings. But hey, make up whatever facts you want.

How about the fact that the Christian bible is in every hotel and motel from East to West coast. So whenever you're fucking your hooker or just taking a nap from a long day driving, you have a dominate religion putting itself in your life. Why is that never touched upon.



Yes, this religion may have a few followers, but you're still top fucking dog on the totem pole and perhaps you shouldn't get bent out of shape if someone else wants to play in the sand box of make believe bearded higher powers in the sky.

The proposed 25,000-square-foot mosque would be approximately the same size as the churches next door and hold between 150 to 300 worshipers, say mosque officials and city planners.

Worshipers? More like terrorist anchor babies waiting to blow something else up! You might as well hurry up and build the freedom tower so that they can plan on bringing it down again, even from California. That's how fucking crazy Muslims are.

Ron Patterson, 65, says a lady recently canvassed his nearby neighborhood with a petition to stop the mosque. She told him that 3,000 people would be attending the mosque with services three times a day. The retired mailman signed because he is concerned about increased traffic and about possible religious extremists. "I am sure most mosques are perfectly fine, but it is a natural concern." Patterson says he thinks the mosque will be built. "If the city says okay, what are you going to do? It's freedom of speech and religion."

All I have to say is Damn you constitution!! DAAAAAAAMN YOOOOUUUUUUUUU!



Now if that doesn't have some production values, I don't know what does. Oh, did you think I was done with the quotes? Ha! Not by a long shot. Look at this one;

Pastor Bill Rench, whose Calvary Baptist Church sits just across the cul de sac from the mosque site, says Islam and Christianity are like "oil and water" and that Islam is "intolerant at its core". He argues that when Islam becomes dominant in a society, "you also see a repression of freedom of speech and religious expression.

You know the saying about when you point one finger, four more point back? Yeah.. look who's the intolerant one in that above statement.



Just saying. I'm surprised he could say it with a straight face. And over in New York this next fox news tag line had me rolling.

"Protesters will be gathering soon at the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque...... but what they don't know is that there are already Muslims praying inside!"
- Fox News

My, I sure hope those Muslims don't pray that something bad happens to the protesters! That would not be good for business. This one really gets me.

Brooklyn plumber Steve Ayling says the people who want to build the project are the same ones who "took down the twin towers." Nearby, several hundred people who support the mosque chanted "Muslims are welcome here. We say no to racist fear."

Maybe they should hold the protest at ground zero. That why they can't actually see the Mosque. Oh noes! A second protester has just hit the Park51 complex with his fat fingered fist! This is definitely not an accident!

I'm not sure how I would be able to go to one of these protests and keep a straight face.

"Opponents of the $100 million project two blocks from the World Trade Center site appeared to outnumber supporters. Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" blared over loudspeakers as mosque opponents chanted, "No mosque, no way!"

Seriously? I mean.. seriously?! I wonder if Springsteen kicks himself for that song being completely misinterpreted by about 90% of people, or if he's just smugly satisfied with the irony. These things make you think.



I sure love me some pictures with extra background irony going on there.
CHRISTIANITY = 2000 YEARS OF: MURDER! RAPE! SLAVERY! BIBLE = TERROR MANUAL!
POPE = TERRORIST!
PROOF: LAST TWO MILLENIA OF WESTERN HISTORY,
CHURCH = TERROR TOWER!

And Nancy, did you really need to do this?

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she wants to look into who is funding the opposition to a proposed Islamic center near the site of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York.

The California Democrat on Wednesday said Muslim leaders have the right to build a proposed Islamic center, including a mosque, two blocks from the World Trade Center site and that the decision should be made by local leaders. But she says she wants to know who is paying for the $100 million project and who is funding the fervent opposition to the plan.

Pelosi's office released the statement after she told San Francisco radio station KCBS that opponents are trying to politicize the project. She told the station she wants to know, "How is this being ginned up?"

The person who is paying for this project is the same person who donates tons of money to Fox news. So hey, again.. four fingers point back. So hey, this 9/11, perhaps we should look back and see how the terrorist really did win, by limiting the freedoms we afford to one another in whatever their beliefs may be.

Or we could just wait till the red neck hicks burn them all down.. *Update* He canceled it.. maybe?

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Federal investigators said Friday that a suspicious fire that damaged construction equipment at the site of a future mosque in Tennessee was arson and offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

The blaze frightened members of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, which has found its plans to build a new mosque drawn into a fierce debate surrounding a proposed Islamic community center two blocks from Manhattan's ground zero.

Firefighters had said there was a strong smell of diesel from the fire that engulfed the cab of a dump truck last weekend, and authorities found fresh fuel pooled under a second dump truck, according to an incident report from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department.

Yeah. I'm so glad those religious types keep strict to their religion and are kind to their fellow man. But at least they're keeping busy burning books....

Gainesville church planning ‘Burn the Quran Day’ is denied permit, but plans to do it anyway.
The ironically named Dove World Church — whose pastor, Terry Jones, has written a book called “Islam Is Of The Devil,” which is also emblazoned on a sign outside the institution — is planning to host “International Burn A Quran Day” on September 11. But the radical church ran into a new roadblock yesterday as Gainesville city officials “denied a burn permit” for the church for the event, effectively telling them doing so would be illegal. The church, undeterred, sent out an e-mail to supporters promising to hold the burning event anyway:

Gainesville officials denied a burn permit for a church that plans to burn copies of the Quran on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The Gainesville church, the Dove World Outreach Center, has a history of inflammatory comments and campaigns against Islam and remained defiant despite the burn permit denial.

In an e-mail sent out Wednesday, the church said, “City of Gainesville denies burn permit – BUT WE WILL STILL BURN KORANS.”

Under the city’s fire protection ordinances, the open burning of books is not allowed. The city’s fire chief, Gene Prince, told a local news station that the “church will be fined if it holds the book burning.” Mayor Craig Lowe, who has in the past referred to the church as a “tiny fringe group and an embarrassment to our community,” told The Gainesville Sun that he supports the officials’ in denying the book burning. “Based upon the law and the ordinances that have been set forward by the city of Gainesville, I support and respect the decision,” he said.

I wonder if the police will step in and put a halt to it or just watch idly and stop anyone else from putting a halt to it.

Is it really that bad of me to hope that they ignite the pile of books too close to their church and the wind will suddenly pick up and start their church on fire? Or maybe if you give them a pile of bibles printed in Arabic and let them go at it burning them, only telling them afterward what the ugly secret is when they're standing over the pile of ashes, that would sure be funny.

What's the chances that these books are constructed of materials that release highly toxic gases when burned. Do I really have a serious problem with a church from doing it? Well, it would be contradictory of me to stop their freedom to do something stupid. I guess in the end it's just a mean thing to do and goes to show what we already know... that we're not very tolerant.

The Audacity of Jihad

The audacity of Jihad!

While I know that the tactic of fear mongering is fully in effect in our modern day society, I never thought the sheep of the people would be so quick to follow. It's time to add another entry to my long list of American controversies that could be resolved with a simple "who gives a crap?"

Because I've seen a lot of laugh out loud republican campaign ads in my day, hell I typically point them out to everyone and laugh at them, but this one takes the cake for absurd statements and fear mongering.



Holy crap, I'm going to boost my nerd points but that's the voice of the narrator from Homeworld. Good to see the recession hasn't hit him hard. Or maybe it has and that's why he's doing this sort of work.

"A mosque is about to be erected on the hallowed acreage of lower Manhattan's Ground Zero. Where we Americans weep, they rejoice and intend to erect a shrine to the 9/11 terrorist they hail as martyrs. This offense cannot stand."

Now normally I would consider that nothing more than some sort of Onion level satire. Because read that. There's so much wrong with that statement and yet here we are with those words being written... Someone took pen to paper and wrote those words. My mind sort of melts just thinking about that.

I don't think they start dancing the moment the clock hits 9:11 nor do I think that they're even thinking about the terrorist attacks. I mean, maybe as much as Catholics think about the Spanish Inquisition. And let's be honest, I make fun of 9/11 probably more than any mosque goer does. I'm not going to pretend I'm a saint - I just laugh about this Nevar forgetting bullshit. As if at some point I'm going to not remember that during my life time two large buildings came down in New York and killed a lot of people.


Somehow I think that number is a bit fudged.

Maybe I should start going up to people and telling them "You know that 9/11 thing? Yeah, I didn't much care for that." I mean, get over it already people. You really shouldn't be using 9/11 to stop a church from being built. Even if it's near ground zero.

Just imagine a place were one of the bloodiest battles in history was fought, one that was used to justify the use of The Bomb. and then they came and built military bases all over, shrines to the religion of permanent war on that hallowed ground

What the hell are we in Iraq for? I thought we were fighting this war for our freedom. Doesn't seem like such a free place when some religion can't built their place of worship. This sort of thing is odd coming from me. I'm a hard atheist. Though most people don't believe in God(s), only an atheist takes it one god further.

Then again, you could just be like this fucking moron and claim that a group of Mooooooslim terrorist crashed two planes into the world trade center, killing millions on purpose just so they could build this temple here..



Need I remind you that for several months after, the 9/11 death toll was literally reported at twice the actual figure. Guess you just had to make it personal in order for everyone to be fully supportive of going to war with Iraq in Operation Defending Freedom. From who? I'm not entirely sure.

Any rational person would realize that freedom from religious persecution is something that America was founded on. So with that excuse sort of nixed it's just a matter of trying to come up with another reason as to why they shouldn't allow this mosque to be built. Their latest attempt was a stupid ship buried under the rubble.

In the middle of tomorrow, a great ribbed ghost has emerged from a distant yesterday.

On Tuesday morning, workers excavating the site of the underground vehicle security center for the future World Trade Center hit a row of sturdy, upright wood timbers, regularly spaced, sticking out of a briny gray muck flecked with oyster shells.

Obviously, these were more than just remnants of the wooden cribbing used in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to extend the shoreline of Manhattan Island ever farther into the Hudson River. (Lower Manhattan real estate was a precious commodity even then.)

“They were so perfectly contoured that they were clearly part of a ship,” said A. Michael Pappalardo, an archaeologist with the firm AKRF, which is working for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to document historical material uncovered during construction.

By Wednesday, the outlines made it plain: a 30-foot length of a wood-hulled vessel had been discovered about 20 to 30 feet below street level on the World Trade Center site, the first such large-scale archaeological find along the Manhattan waterfront since 1982, when an 18th-century cargo ship came to light at 175 Water Street.

The area under excavation, between Liberty and Cedar Streets, had not been dug out for the original trade center. The vessel, presumably dating from the mid- to late 1700s, was evidently undisturbed more than 200 years.

News of the find spread quickly. Archaeologists and officials hurried to the site, not only because of the magnitude of the discovery but because construction work could not be interrupted and because the timber, no longer safe in its cocoon of ooze, began deteriorating as soon as it was exposed to air.

But protesters, for an instance, began to ponder if they could use this discovery to claim that the site could be used as a historical site and not to be touched with and thus, not allowing the mosque to be built... failing to realize that the freedom towers will never be built.

Then again, they never were going to be finished anyway. Its been nine years and the WTC isn't reubuilt. The height of government stupidity and bureaucracy is just amazing. How about writing about that, NY Times. We'll have our first Muslim president before they actually finish the freedom tower. Oh wait, we already do...

But at least that hurdle was taken care of over the last few days..

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission — "responsible for identifying and designating the City's landmarks and the buildings in the City's historic districts" — has decided not to assign landmark status to a building on Park Place, two blocks north of Ground Zero.

After the board's unanimous vote, its chairman, Robert B. Tierney, said the structure, which previously home to a Burlington Coat Factory, "does not rise to the level of an individual landmark."

What are they trying to say about Burlington Coat Factory?! $9.11 for my blazer - Never Forget! Bu thank fucking GOD! I mean, seriously.. this was a pretty weak attempt to toss a nail in the road for this. Maybe Islam is the light after all..



Did you know that the site of the WTC used to be a landfill. In fact it currently is a landfill. I just want to know if that boat was used to sell slaves or destroy pods of whales? Maybe Bin Laden's not a terrorist and is just a very aggressive archaeologist. I'm pretty sure this is Noah's Ark and thus proving that America is God's country. I'm certain that god actually put the boat there specifically to remind us of that so they wouldn't build the mosque.

My hope is that it contained an ancient but active strain of smallpox that we have no vaccine against. Perhaps there will be some slave shackles and we can reminisce about simpler times in America. Fun Fact - The WTC finally reached full renting capacity right before it blew up.

I know I was waiting real hard to hear if they found another boat just so I could say "A SECOND BOAT HAS BEEN FOUND UNDER THE WTC!" But then again, that would be completely tasteless.



If it ended up being a slave ship, it could totally be a version of the tell-tale heart. And if it isn't a slave ship, I'd so want it to be a Barbary trading ship. Then it would turn out that the WTC was built on a foundation of Islam all along.

I'm just glad that both CBS and NBC decided that they will not air this ad. Capitalism at work. But I really am confused by the latest piece of news on this one. It seems that the ADL jumped into the fight against the mosque.

We regard freedom of religion as a cornerstone of the American democracy, and that freedom must include the right of all Americans – Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other faiths – to build community centers and houses of worship.

We categorically reject appeals to bigotry on the basis of religion, and condemn those whose opposition to this proposed Islamic Center is a manifestation of such bigotry.

However, there are understandably strong passions and keen sensitivities surrounding the World Trade Center site. We are ever mindful of the tragedy which befell our nation there, the pain we all still feel – and especially the anguish of the families and friends of those who were killed on September 11, 2001.

The controversy which has emerged regarding the building of an Islamic Center at this location is counterproductive to the healing process. Therefore, under these unique circumstances, we believe the City of New York would be better served if an alternative location could be found.

In recommending that a different location be found for the Islamic Center, we are mindful that some legitimate questions have been raised about who is providing the funding to build it, and what connections, if any, its leaders might have with groups whose ideologies stand in contradiction to our shared values. These questions deserve a response, and we hope those backing the project will be transparent and forthcoming. But regardless of how they respond, the issue at stake is a broader one.

Proponents of the Islamic Center may have every right to build at this site, and may even have chosen the site to send a positive message about Islam. The bigotry some have expressed in attacking them is unfair, and wrong. But ultimately this is not a question of rights, but a question of what is right. In our judgment, building an Islamic Center in the shadow of the World Trade Center will cause some victims more pain – unnecessarily – and that is not right.

I have to say that it's pretty ironic that something called the anti-defamation league is opposed to something purely on the basis of religion.

I recall when the ADL appealed to the US government to deny the Armenian genocide.. Yeah, they're classy that way. I guess the message that should be taken away here is that Muslims destroyed the towers. Not an extremist group. Just all Muslims.

It's as if we can't have some socialist Islamic "community" center anywhere near our shrine to crass capitalism. Now if they built a private corporate-run flight school or something that would be something we could get behind for those tax dollars.

Not to sound like a complete asshole but 9/11 happened ALMOST A DECADE AGO! I think we're all pretty much done healing from it. Has the fact that the mosque isn't on the actual WTC site and is like a few blocks away just totally dropped out of the discourse or what? Then again, when have facts ever mattered in things like this.

And if having a mosque blocks away from the WTC defiles the whole deaths there, perhaps using any public restroom wouldn't be the best thing. I mean, you would be taking a shit a few blocks away from WTC. Way to shit on the glorious remains of the World Trade Center with that healthy diet of hummus and halal food.

At least there's some folks that aren't completely ignorant.

Wow, what the fuck. I mean, seriously? Is this really pressing matters? I suppose so as it seems that not everyone is happy by the creation of this invention. As you'll see that Egypt is shitting a brick over it.

A leading Egyptian scholar has demanded that people caught importing a female virginity-faking device into the country should face the death penalty.
Abdul Mouti Bayoumi said supplying the item was akin to spreading vice in society, a crime punishable by death in Islamic Sharia law.
The device is said to release liquid imitating blood, allowing a female to feign virginity on her wedding night.
There is a stigma about pre-marital sex in conservative Arab societies.
The contraption is seen as a cheap and simple alternative to hymen repair surgery, which is carried out in secret by some clinics in the Middle East.
It is produced in China and has already become available in other parts of the Arab world.
The device is reported to be on sale in Syria for $15.
Professor Bayoumi, a scholar at the prestigious al-Azhar University, said it undermined the moral deterrent of fornication, which he described as a crime and one of the cardinal sins in Islam. Members of parliament in Egypt have also called for banning import of the item.

I suppose if the current trends continue, China will surpass America as the world's biggest cultural imperialist by 2030. Not to mention the global target of hate by 2015. I mean, color me surprised that there is a stigma about pre-martial sex in Islamic countries. I would have never had guessed. But really does a busted hymen really mean you're not pure?

Let's take a look at the main causes of hymen tearing or breakage:
* Strenuous exercise (Gymnastics, sports, martial art, horse riding, etc)
* Premarital Sex
* Childhood accident (Hard object)
* Wearing a tampon for the first time



This could give cover to weak-willed progressive men wanting to look the other way on their brides' previous exploits. It's pretty easy to feign belief when props are involved. What is the saying? Let's put on a show. Go with the motion. You just have to role play here and it will all be good.

Though it really doesn't scratch the surface of the real issue here. Why would you really want to fuck a virgin? Anyone who wants to fuck a virgin has never fucked a virgin before. Otherwise they'd never want to fuck one to begin with. It's a conundrum, really. Why would any culture place such a high value on the certainty of terrible sex?

I mean, seriously. It's going to be awkward and strange. You're not going to know which way to move or what to do or even what things are suppose to feel like. Do we really want someone with a lack of experience doing things for us? I certainly wouldn't want a surgeon that is a virgin at the procedure that he's about to do on me. Give me someone that can get the job done right.

To bad they're $30 or you could use them every time and be like that girl in True Blood. Jessica? Jennifer? I dunno. Whatever Hot red head Vampire's name is, that's gotta get old pretty fast. I do wonder why they don't have anything for the guy who needs to pretend it's his first time? Something like a really tight cock ring so he'll blow his load in 20 seconds?

In short, this is stupid and people who go after virgins to be Christopher Columbus are just as awful as Christopher Columbus himself. I mean, who else could rape and pillage cultures and people left and right and be praised? Virgin sex is really stupid and if you're valuing your virginity for the sanctity of marriage, then you're in for some truly awful wedding night adventures.
