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?

Strong Opposition to the Mosque

Muslims must be defeated in their attempt to ram their mosque down our throats. Have we forgotten the act of war and terrorism that was thrust upon our country on 9/11? Those who are really Americans and care about this country have not forgotten. Together, they will stand as an army, ready to fight the notion that the bull crap of multicultural diversity and political correctness is enough reason to allow the enemy to erect a victory monument at Ground Zero. Oppose the Mosque! Oppose Obama and Pelosi! Oppose any Muslim who wants this! Oppose any politician who throws their support to the enemy! Investigate the liberal democrats and socialists trying to destroy the United States of American. It is time for Revolutionary thinking. We must fight for what is right. We must oppose the mosque! We must tear down the notion that we must bow down to the terrorist who practice hate and destruction. They who call us infidels want us to show them tolerance. Declare war on such nonsense. Tear down the idea of a mosque to celebrate terrorism. Impeach the little man in the White House. Knock the Mosque down on his head!

Bloomberg wants to forget!

You may have seen in the news that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to build a Muslim mosque very close to Ground Zero. Liberal democrats seem to like this multicultural inclusivity, but most Americans find it appalling.

This sign for a bus ad campaign in New York was rejected.



When asked about the rejection, CBS Outdoor stated "images of 911 were not allowed." In a series of compromise revisions, the plane, smoke and flames were removed. Then the plane was put back in, but far from the building.

This exercise in censorship led to Freedom Defense Initiative filing a lawsuit against the city of New York. It was the Metropolitan Transit Authority that in the end refused the campaign because it contained 911 images.

Eventually, The MTA woke up and the jihad against free speech was stopped. The ad ran as originally designed.

As we approach September, it will be so important to post plenty of true 911 pictures so people like Bloomberg cannot squelch the truth.
