Speaking of Hate filled Radical Religious Extremist Fanatic..."Rev. Pat Robertson"!


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

How many confirmed kills does Robertson have under his belt?  Not nearly as many as his Muslim cleric counterparts.  But who's counting?

Since we are discussing the Cordoba Mosque, the Muslim cleric in question is
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf , Chairman of Cordoba Initiative, having founded the organization in 2004.
(CICERO... how many of your 'confirmed kills does he have? Or was your post just more Islamophobia?)

In 1997, he founded the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), the first Muslim organization committed to bringing American Muslims and non-Muslims together through programs in academia, policy, current affairs, and culture.  As Imam of Masjid al-Farah, a mosque located twelve blocks from Ground Zero in New York City, he preaches a message of understanding between people of all creeds.  Additionally, Imam Feisal sits on the Board of Trustees of the Islamic Center of New York and serves as an advisor to the Interfaith Center of New York.
Born in Kuwait and educated in England, Egypt, and Malaysia, Imam Feisal holds a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Columbia University in New York and a Master of Science in Plasma Physics from Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey. He speaks English, Arabic and Malay.

There is a very good chance that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf will be coming to the Capital District to speak.  He is a colleague of ours through the Shalom Center.  He is very highly regarded.  Cicero--you must be kidding when you try to make Pat Robertson out to be a person of peace.  If that is who you hold in high regard--all of Rotterdam should be afraid--very afraid.  Robertson is a hate-monger and a Christian fanatic.

Even the liberal republican Pataki says "no."


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

I never made Robertson a person of peace.  

How about we measure the fanaticism of Robertson against one of those enlightened Muslim- American preachers Anwar al-Awlaki's.

Did the japs seek building a monument at the pearl harbor site a decade after they bombed it? Would we have let them?

New York City is the 'melting pot' of this country. I know many people who live in NYC and they are the most resilient people I know. They are also the most acceptable of every culture, religion and ethnicity. They all get along and accept everyone.

So when I see the people of NYC, people from all cultures, religion and ethnicity protest the WTC mosque, I take notice.  These are the same people that have lived and worked together for decades with every single culture known to man on the face of this earth.

To see and hear NY city residents stand up in protest in this fashion speaks volumes.

Speaking of the nips, Obama is sending a delegation over to the teeth gnashing ceremony where everyone can scream and cry and declare their animosity for America "for what it did to the Japanese." Of course the government controlled media picks up the story every August as a way to further run down America and "point to her faults" so to speak (remember that newspaper reporters and editors generally despise America) and a way to say "HEY-see how rotten America is, and how they don't play fair!"

I predict this will pave the way for America to "officially apologize" to the people of Japan for dropping the heinous atom bomb on them. I would predict that the democrap administration that is in power in about 2020-2030 will be doing this because they absolutely must wait for those vets to all be gone without a trace, and safely ensconced in their graves before they can rewrite that part of history. Now you will dismiss what I say, but 15 years from now you will remember Graham Bonnet's words on this matter. And that is all I have to say.

If the atom bomb wasn't dropped, the war would have continued and a million soldiers and civilians would have died b4 the war was over. War is horrific but remember the USA didn't start the war in the first place. No appology is due.

And who was the president that interned Japanese and funded the Manhatten Project?  Probably some war monering right wing nut case.

I think Dick Cheney and Haliburton had something to do with it.

A new hijacking
By ANDREA PEYSER

The fix was in.




Yesterday, the Constitution was slimed and perverted by a group of Muslim-Americans determined to erect a 13-story mosque and Islamic center a stone's throw from the spot where nearly 3,000 innocents were slaughtered in the name of religion. It's nothing to cheer.

Mosque advocates claim that this exercise in religious will and real-estate acquisition was an example of a people flexing their freedom of religion. It was not.

Yesterday's 9-0 vote by the Landmarks Preservation Commission to deny the soon-to-be-mosque landmark status essentially gift-wrapped the site and delivered it to the venture known as Park 51. This was the latest outrage against those who cry at the thought of seeing an Islamic temple rise atop their loved one's ashes.

CASE FOR: A TIME FOR PEACE

MIKE'S 'LIBERTY' CRY FOR MUSLIMS

EDITORIAL: MONEY BEHIND THE MOSQUE

For months, mosque opponents have watched mutely as cheerleaders do everything but stick ball gags in their mouths. Where I come from, that's called trampling upon one's right to protest. The right to free speech? If you object to the mega-mosque, you have none.

When the vote was over, a firefighter found courage to shout to commissioners, "Did any of you lose anyone on 9/11?" It was too late.

Critics, including Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, have been demonized as "racists." And not just by Muslims. Mayor Bloomberg, the mosque's chief booster, suggested offensively that those who oppose it are dumb Islamophobes.

"The fix was in from the beginning," said Marion Dreyfus, who wandered outside the Landmarks meeting.

Neighbors have a right to know what the devil is moving in next door. Still a mystery is where Park 51 will get $100 million in construction costs. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told American reporters the funds will be home-grown -- but told the foreign press that money will be raised from Muslim countries. On radio, he refused to say he believed Hamas to be a terrorist group.

I thought people had a right to question authority. That right has been hijacked by the Ground Zero mosque.

Bumble, as I posted before there...
Most of the Japanese pilots who attacked us Dec7,1941 in Pearl Harbor are Buddhist or Shinto... there is a Buddhist temple overlooking Pearl Harbor, and a Buddhist temple adjacent to Hickam Field.

There has always been... before our war with Japan and after, Buddhists in Hawaii... with no similar to the political WTC Muslim protest.
