Sharia Law at.......The Pentagon

Image
Right at our war center headquarters ! While plans for a cultural center and mosque near the site of the September 11 attacks in New York have ignited a hot political debate, Muslims regularly pray at a chapel near where a hijacked jet slammed into the Pentagon nine years ago. Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Mormons and Episcopalians regularly hold services in the multifaith chapel that was dedicated in November 2002 after reconstruction of the section of the Pentagon hit by Islamist hijackers on September 11, 2001. "I've been here four years next month and the chapel and its function and role have never been an issue," George Wright, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, said on Thursday. The Washington Post' Petula Dvorak talks about this dangerous development that has been transpiring right under our noses (especially under the nostrils of Harry Reid, Howard Dean, and all of our Republican nutcase figures).....for almost the last 8 years! Now, would y...

The Straight Jacket Award For 8/11/10: Those Fort Mosques!!!

Image
These people really are the epitome of Islamophobes : Bryan Fischer, the public face of the right-wing American Family Association, wants to make something abundantly clear : Permits should not be granted to build even one more mosque in the United States of America, let alone the monstrosity planned for Ground Zero. This is for one simple reason: each Islamic mosque is dedicated to the overthrow of the American government. As evidence for this claim, Fischer cites a flyer distributed by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1991, which is sort of like drawing broad conclusions about all Christians from a flyer distributed by...well, the American Family Association. Christianity in America continues to be embarrassed by these nut jobs on the Right. I didn't know who the hell Bryan Fischer was until today. I now know that he is always worthy of the......... ...Straight Jacket Award for any day.

Hero One Week, Scaredy Cat Zero The Next

Weiner's letter to Bloomberg after his fine actions on Tuesday with no purpose of tackling the real issue . Sargent puts it right into perspective : Weiner "honors" Bloomberg for taking a "powerful" stance, without endorsing the sentiment that made Bloomberg's position so powerful. * Indeed, Weiner seemed to play both sides, suggesting it's legit to probe the financing of the mosque, the stance of the project's critics. And especially when bigot nutcase Senators show their full cards on this issue , a strong response from a man that is being held as this supposed strong liberal Democratic hero is certainly needed instead of cowardice. This normally cool Brooklyn guy is surely representing his last name well right now. I guess it's the pressure AIPAC can put on him at anytime I guess.

Yesterday's Leftovers For 8/5/10: Pam Gets Slammed

Image
One of the more insane people in America right now is one Pam Gellar, who most in the political circles know all too much about. Despite the Kos one getting banned from MSNBC for virtually making Good Ol Joey Scarborough angry, Gellar's constant hatred and ignorance for things she can't relate to is deemed okay enough to go on any cable network at anytime. In the last week, Gellar has added to her many "Hall of Fame of Straight Jacket Moments" by thinking President Obama is anti-Semantic and that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the Department of Defense, Department of State, and the executive office. Of course, Gellar gets on outlets where she expects at least the host to not slam her "fruit of the loon" views, so nowhere on cable TV will she be exposed in full daylight. Thankfully, there are places like the highlighted underrated Russian Today, with anchor Lauren Lyster, who meet Gellar's disgusting sentiments about Muslims head on. It...

He Really Hates Muslims

Joey Lie still can't stand the Brown people and wants a halt to that EVIL Mosque . Developers should "put the brakes" on a planned mosque near the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York City, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Tuesday. Lieberman, an independent senator who caucuses with Democrats, endorsed a pause on the building of an Islamic center and mosque near ground zero, joining some Republican lawmakers and conservative activists who have railed against the project. "I'd say I'm troubled by it, but I don't know enough to say that it ought to be prohibited," Lieberman said on "Imus in the Morning" on the Fox Business Network. "But frankly I've heard enough about it and read enough about it that I wish somebody in New York would just put the brakes on for a while and take a look at this." He sure is always a piece of work.

The Break For 8/3/10: The Dreaded Mosque Is Coming!

Image
Photo from Getty Images Seems like the NY Post is all over this story before anyone else , as the Landmarks Preservation Commission move to not grant historic status to an old Manhattan building has led to "The Mosque", the Cordoba House, getting the green light to move on. Obviously, the Anti-Defamation League, doing their own tasteless defamation last week, will have their mouths yell in anger at it all.

Well, What Do You Know

As the STUPID , insulting , and arguably racist nutcases continue to yell at the plan of a mosque potentially be placed near Ground Zero, an interesting tidbit has emerged from under the surface. A mosque is already near Ground Zero . In fact, it has been down there for at least three decades. From the Pensito Review , check this out from the website of that exact mosque that barely anyone knew about: Since 1970, Masjid Manhattan has been a peaceful, not-for-profit organization located in the area of downtown Manhattan. Our members are City, State and Federal employees, as well as professional employees of the Financial area who come to our Masjid to perform their daily prayers. What is both hilarious and quite sad at the same time is this "Masjid" had to put this disclaimer up as this story has grown in attention (click to enlarge if need be): And can you blame them for putting that up on their site? It won't stop the insane crowd on the other end, probably l...
