I think this whole Ground Zero mosque (which isn’t at ground zero and isn’t a mosque except that it is) taught us that some imams still need lessons in cultural sensitivity. They have all of America to build a mosque, yet somehow they pick the one place that it’s going to be a problem. And when everyone is like, “Why don’t you just move it a couple blocks?” the imam starts screaming and crying and throwing a tantrum. And liberals never like being left out of a tantrum, so they come in and start doing self-righteous lectures which is like the adult version of a tantrum. And now we have all these dumb, screaming children on our hands.
Anyway, with tantrums, we have to stand firm and say, “No!” That’s the only way imams and liberals will learn. Maybe we can put them in the corner for a timeout; I guess that would be Maine.
But Maine is already full of lobsters, lobstermen, tourists, self-righteous liberals, and moose – in that order. Trust me; I was there last week. Never seen so many “COEXIST” signs in my life.
Spare the rod and spoil the imam, I say.
@MarkoMancuso – we could send them to Seattle then, the other corner. I know its also full of tourists and self-righteous liberals, but they also have coffee addiction, light-rail, and weather-induced depression. If we’re lucky, they’ll kill themselves by standing in front of a train with their Starbucks.
As far as handling tantrums, the belt comes out in a little more than 2 months. That ought to shut them up.
I just knew Marko was going to comment about Maine!
Since when are liberals concerned about freedom of religion? I think the ones that are griping are doing it to have yet another issue where they can bad-mouth Republicans. The joke’s on them, however, as some liberals are now publicly objecting to the mosque just as most conservatives are.
But the question is this: Can any organization that advocates killing non-members be classified as a “religion?” I think not.
“Religion of Peace,” Uranus.
‘Religious’ tolerance?
The privileges of being classed as religion should be withdrawn from Islam.
If Hitler had claimed that ‘Mein Kampf’ was dictated by God, would we be forced to tolerate the Nazi Party as a religion? Islam is first and foremost a mind-destroying, totalitarian political ideology that spreads through the Body Politic like a virus.
Winston Churchill gave the correct diagnosis over a century ago, when he compared Islam to a contagious virus or meme – ‘as dangerous in a man as rabies in a dog’ http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/islam-murder-meme-and-rabies-of.html
Consequently, Islam should be reclassified from ‘RELIGION’ to ‘PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM’ – a virulent contagious mental illness. It could then be contained by the methods used to prevent the spread of typhoid and other lethal epidemics: enforced exclusion and quarantine of carriers, eradication of foci of infection, immunization of the susceptible population etc.
Here’s a word for you to Google….Dihimmi. This mosque/non-mosque is just one more step on the road to Dihimmitude for all non-Islamic Americans and all the benefits thereof including the Jizya. Which is another word you should Google.
No, no, don’t send ’em here, coldguy. I’m a Seattle native and we don’t need any more crazy imams – or liberals. We’re saturated.
As to the coffee addition… More COFFEE!!
Hey hey hey! I live in Maine! Marko is right, we already have enough issues without a bunch of haji sitting in timeout chairs. How about Guam? Provided there are not too many of them that need to be in time out… it might tip over if we overload it!
I don’t mind the mosque’s location as long as I can have a 2 story business next store. The bottom floor being an “all you can eat” BBQ pork restaurant and the second story being a “gentlemens club” and name it Racks & Ribs.
They say hitting them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper won’t teach them, and I agree. But, hitting them in the face with a shovel would.
The only way Imams learn: Smear them in bacon grease, and throw them in an active volcano. Works for Liberals too.
But smearing them with bacon grease would be a religious offense. I’m trying to be on my best behavior today.
How about smearing them with honey and throwing them on a fire-ant mound?
Beat them ’til their noses bleed buttermilk.
I like the seafood in maine and the coffee in seattle, send them to oregon.
Send them to bed without dinner or prayer mats.
