I don't want my kids walking past it," said Kathy Cash, 38, a mother of three children who attend Public School 52 around the corner on E. 29th St. "It's disgusting," said Cash, "they [Muslims] have no respect.""My children are scared and I am too," said Victor Benari, 56, trying to rally neighbors against the mosque during a civic group meeting on Monday. "This is a security issue." http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/brooklyn/2010/01/08/2010-01-08_some_in_nabe_fear_planned_mosque.html "We will not be submissive," the notice proclaimed. "Our voices are going to be heard!" The alert went on to question what its authors described as Islamic beliefs. It suggested that participants sing during the rally because Muslim "women are forbidden to sing." It suggested that rally participants bring dogs because Muslims "hate dogs." The Temecula Islamic Center is just one of many Muslim construction projects to draw fire from right-wing groups this year. Those protesting the California construction site include the pastor of a neighboring Baptist church who recently told the Los Angeles Times he was upset about the construction plan because the mosque and community center will turn the town into "a haven for Islamic extremists." http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/07/ca_anti_mosque_protest_organizers_bring_dogs_because_muslims_hate_dogs.php Some opponents have said that Islam is a political movement, not a religion, and that the mosque could also be used as a training center for terrorists."Most people don't understand what they are dealing with," said Rutherford County resident Bob Hayes, who was among the speakers to voice opposition before the county commission last month. "You are dealing with a terrorist organization. They want to rule the world." http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-07-03-mosque-protest-tennessee_N.htm As a mother and a grandmother, I worry, Ms. Serafin said. I learned that in 20 years with the rate of the birth population, we will be overtaken by Islam, and their goal is to get people in Congress and the Supreme Court to see that Shariah is implemented. My children and grandchildren will have to live under that. I do believe everybody has a right to freedom of religion, she said. But Islam is not about a religion. Its a political government, and its 100 percent against our Constitution. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/08/us/08mosque.html Edited August 11, 2010 by bloodyminded Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings

Guest American Woman Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 Just out of curiosity, are we now going to be presented with threads about every single mosque in every city in every country that has had any negative reaction to it?

GostHacked Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 I'd insist that the fellow in front of you wash his feet before prayer a tad better. No wonder the dang name means 'submission'. Apparently I am supposed to submit myself to Jesus to be saved because he died for our sins. All religions demand some degree of submission. You first have to submit yourself to believe in a god, then follow the rules of that god. If I am eating a cracker to symbolize Jesus' flesh, does that make me a cannibal? Quote
