Mosque ban in TN

[Ranger]

One thing many don't realize and it really comes to light over the proposed Mosque a couple of blocks away from ground zero: it is Islamic tradition to build a Mosque at a site of Islamic victory in battle.
Slap in the face.

That's interesting, I didn't know that until you brought it up and I did some research on it.

Almost a s*** all over you move by them... I remember that was my sole argument against it. Victory huh? I still don't see any Islamic republics that possess thermo-nuclear weapons... Maybe we should give them some- fastest delivery method is the Minuteman II... it could be there in about the same time it takes Dominos to deliver a hot pizza.
(No I'm not advocating actually using nuclear weapons against Muslim countries... or am I?)

Eventually even the "nice" ones WILL try to kill you.

As someone who has lived in three Islamic countries, and was a fairly easy (blond American) target, that wasn't even remotely my experience.

Totally forgot about those cheesedi*ks! Ok, so now we tread softly and carry a big stick. Worst part about that is, Pakistan is about one revolution away from becoming a hardline anti-western republic and that could spell doom for us if some Taliban Supporting, Al Qaeda loving Jihadi gets into power (I'm talking openly supporting, not this playing both sides crap that goes on now).

Now you see why we bend over backward (and sometimes forward) to work with the Pakis.

Thing is their neighbors (India) have Nukes too and they don't much like the muzzies so if Pakistan gets too far out of whack its gonna get messy out there.

You just weren't there long enough to get to the "Eventually" part.

Be it a radical cleric or a US "soccer mom" Muslim you are an Infidel and you are less in their eyes.
I firmly believe that the influx of Islam into the US post 9/11 is by design. We have been quietly invaded and our dumbass Government has allowed if not encouraged it.
You hear about clowns like the guy from Aurora that got popped planning to blow up the subway in NY.
You don't hear about how many "sleeper" cells are in this country. They are here no doubt, awaiting the time to go live.
Every major city in the US has a substantial Islamic community. And I can guarantee that not all are of the "Can't we just get along" mentality.

And the media and Gooberment will act surprised when it happens.

I won't.
There is a reason I won't go to a major sporting event, a mall or travel abroad.

I spoke with my wife by phone yesterday as she is on a research project in Indonesia, which has more muslims than any country on earth. She said that three years ago when she was there, people had a definite opinion of Americans, be it positive or negative - some of each, but everyone had a viewpoint. She said there's been a palpable change in the past few years. The economy is absolutely thriving over there, trade with other neighbor nations is booming, and as far as viewpoints on America - completely nonexistent, as if the U.S. doesn't exist, -like asking your average person in Denver what they thought of the game in Latvia last week.

While there are definitely terrorists in the world that want nothing more than to do the U.S. harm, there are a great many muslims who are busy running their tech firms, their pharmaceutical companies, Etc. rather than concerning themselves with the U.S.

Suggesting that every single muslim wants to kill the infidel is quaint in that it assumes the average muslim cares that we exist. Many are busy on the trading floor in Dubai or on the golf course in Brunei, they don't give a rats ass about some American, or if that American converts to Islam or not.

Instead of squabbling over the street address of a mosque, maybe we as a nation should put a tad more concern toward getting our economy straightened out, keeping our noses out of other countries business, and maybe trying to resolve our debt issues by spending a whole lot less money 'building nations' around the world that likely don't want us there in the first place.

No, that's not nearly as popular on an internet forum as fuming about the latest enemy du jour, but it might get us back to being a successful country instead of sucking on the Chinese teet waiting for them to buy more treasuries to keep us afloat.

So I was just imagining things when I saw on the news all day long on 9/11/01 massive crowds people in Cairo, Islamabad, and Syria burning American flags and chanting things to the effect of "Down with America"? Ya know, since they couldn't care less about us and don't concern their daily lives with what goes on in the US.
