Burn Quran, Burn

Today, I was reading an article from theblaze.com entitled, "Imam: Ground Zero Mosque Won't Be Stopped".  It is about Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his determination to proceed with building the Muslim mosque near Ground Zero.  I quote a couple of his statements:

"The level of attention reflects the degree to which people care about the very American values under debate:  recognition of the rights of others, tolerance and freedom of worship. We are proceeding with the community center, Cordoba House."   He goes on to thank Obama and Bloomberg for their support.

Later he says that he is "very sensitive to the feelings of 9/11 survivors and family members"  and the Muslims will continue to "seek the support of those families" as they finalize construction plans.  I'm sure the survivors will feel much better once construction starts.

After reading this, I was struck with the realization that there is no difference between building a mosque near ground zero and burning Quran's on 9/11.  You really cannot justify supporting the one while speaking down about the other. I will say more about that in another post.

Then, tonight, I found that Ann Coulter has written an article expressing a similar idea.  The article is called, "Bonfire of the Insanities."

This is her concluding statement from that article:

"The reason not to burn Qurans is that it's unkind - not to jihadists, but to Muslims who mean us no harm.  The same goes for building a mosque at ground zero -- in both cases, it's not a question of anyone's rights, it's just a nasty thing to do."

Religious Fervor In The Media

The proposed Mosque at Ground Zero has certainly caused a stir.  If you are watching the media, you cannot miss the energy and resolve to stand up for the principle of religious freedom.  You are constantly reminded that it is one of the bedrocks of our great country.  In this case, of course, it is to protect the religious freedom of muslims.

Now, tell me, when have you ever seen this level of support for the religious freedom of Christianity?  You have not seen it in the U.S. for a long time.  Rather you have heard the never ending drum beat of 'separation of church and state'.  You have seen great efforts to remove religious symbols from the public eye:  ten commandments, Christmas manger scenes and prayer. This double standard reveals the great lie wrapped up in religious freedom when it comes to the left.

For contrast, consider this quote from the current news:

"Giuliani also said he agreed with Gov. David Paterson, who proposed the mosque be built on a location not associated with the same sensitivities as the land near Ground Zero.


Paterson last week offered to help the mosque developers find a new spot, perhaps on state land. When the developers shot down that idea, the governor said he would at least like to have a meeting with them to discuss it. That meeting has yet to be scheduled, and Paterson told NBCNewYork on Wednesday that there were no concrete plans to hold it at all."   Source

Notice the words underlined.  The Governor of New York apparently has no problem with Muslim religious symbols built on government property.  What happened to separation of church and state?

Muslims have their rights, too.

Really?  Do they?  Are you saying that any group that comes to the United States can have whatever they want because it is their right?  I would say not in this case, for the following reasons:

Muslims were responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  There is no doubt about that.  Ah, but you say that was just a few extremists, and that Muslims are peace loving.  Muslims have been at war with Israel for centuries.  How is the peace thing working?  The so-called moderate Muslims have chosen not to voice  opposition to the 9/11 attacks, and polls at that time indicated 40% of Muslims were supportive.

Muslims are here looking to build a Muslim country.  They have no desire to be Americans, for Americans are infidels that deserve death.  Muslims are also making it quite clear that they have no respect for Americans or people of other faiths.  They declare that it is their right to build a mosque where ever they want, and if you don't like it, screw you!

Obama's Free Gift to Muslims

Obama (the first African President of the U.S.) has once again made it obvious that 'once a Muslim, always a Muslim' applies to him.  This past weekend (as he was celebrating Ramadan) he voiced his strong support of building a mosque near Ground Zero.  If this mosque is built, it will be a real slap in the face for America.

Muslims are already rejoicing that they pulled off the 911 attacks.  What better way to increase their boasting than to build a Muslim mosque at the same location!  This would be really convenient for the next cell group with New York as their target!

Obama needs to go to Africa, 'the land that he loves'.
