Tennessee Mosque
 

Interesting article. Absent the federal courts I do not believe the communities here are any better than the communities in, say, Yemen.

Sad

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

American's can still be...stand offish to muslims.

Thank God we got a system in place that tolerates muslims, however. As opposed to some Muslim nations that will kill you simply for being a Christian.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Sally Wall, one of the leading opponents of the mosque, said she wasn't surprised by the ruling and never thought her group would win the court case. She said she just wanted to show Muslims that they are not welcome in Murfreesboro.


Faced with the fact that the mosque is likely to be opening soon, Wall said she hopes it doesn't bring "1,000 to 2,000 Muslim families here."
She plans to keep up the fight, and said the controversy has drawn the community closer together.


"Everyone else feels the same way I do (about the mosque) except the 5% who moved here the day before yesterday," she said.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

I am not surprised if that is the case.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Except all us infidels would be dead, ya no diff at all !

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Lots of living, breathing "infidels" in Muslim countries.

IF: You show up hairsprayed in a lincoln continental with fistfuls of money and an unwelcome message in Watts and get killed for it you are just written off as stupid

IF: You show up hairsprayed in a lincoln contental with fistfuls of money and an unwelcome message in some overseas country and get killed for it this somehow makes you a noble martyr?

LOL

Even Paul/Saul said he would be different things to different people. I am very sorry to point this out but pride is what keeps the christian community from adhering to the rules around them and pride is what is getting christians killed in faraway countries overseas.

Question: Would this be noble martyrdom or just a stupid way to get killed: Dress up in "Ihram" or the all-white clothing reserved for Hajj and then head out for a few beers to one of the cowboy bars west of Houston, figure out what those boys believe in, and then loudly and publicly put down their beliefs? I'm pretty sure that's a good way to get carried out.

Don't otherwise discuss "poor dead infidels" with me until you explain to me what makes you believe you can show the above disregard, which, by the way is what some of you do overseas, and not expect the same reaction you would get in west tx. I have never seen a dead "infidel (lol i love that term)", only thousands of live ones. Let's discuss those then let's discuss the difference.

Hmm; how would Jesus pursue a lawsuit against
a God-fearing religion, hmm...

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Not hate but very careful monitoring and intense peaceful resistence. They are a maglinant cancer, enemy of every right thinking man or woman. They are a tool of the prince of darkness and only American civil law will keep them within the boundaries of peaceful pursuits. Personally, I believe they are as anti-American, as anti-Christian, as anti-Semitic, as devious and as deceived as any fool on planet earth.

Tomorrow I'll tell you what I really think.

Be not deceived, Islam is a growing sore on the body politic. They have nothing of value to offer mankind. They are a disease.


"Islam is a religion of peace." -- "W"

And now we know ....

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Well, I believe they are "as lost as two boys kissing" as an elder here would say. But that is beside the point. They have a radical side just like christianity does, (shall we talk about Westboro ? )

I do believe there is a peaceful version of Islam. I also believe there is a hypocritical side of Islam, the side that is spreading to other countries in the world all the while proclaiming they are the Great Satan. Just as the 911 hijackers spent their last days drinkin it up in a local night club which is against the very religion they claimed to have martyred themselves for.

I believe a day is coming when those hypocritical sects of Islam's will rise up against the countries they are pouring into, because as I say, why would they condemn these countries at the same time they are lining up to live in them unless they had another motive.

But that's not the point here. No one in the article had any reason whatsoever to object to the building other than, we dont want them here. That smacks of christian hypocrisy.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Um, sorry, SOI, but that is just hate.
Take a break from Fox News, wouldja,
or better yet, go and actually meet a Muslim.

A painful truth for you will be that
"Ishmael was blessed of God,"
and none of your spew will change that.

Don't be deceived yourself, hate-monger,
that the body politic is a festering sore
on the Church (I have Scripture for that,
that you surely will also not be able to hear),
and your civil law is a pathetic failure next to
God's idea; albeit the best we have right now.

I am a Christian, but have dealt with Muslims
for years; and I will tell you that it is you,
and those who would let you spout such tripe
without admonition, that I most fear.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

I agree
But this isn't about whether they are right or wrong in their beliefs. This is about freedom of religion in this country. You deny it to one, it may be denied to you one day.

And it is hate. In the article they gave no excuse for not wanting them there, they didnt even play the religion card. Just point blank, we dont want you here.

People need to understand, this country belongs to the American people, not just the christian American people. If we as christian want our rights to believe and congregate freely, we must afford those same rights to others. To think we are special is ignorant. This is one nation UNDER God, not one nation OF God.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Unfortunately the more radical and minority of the Islamiic sect seem to be the most vocal and target and are able to influence young people.

It's like that with a lot of sects including skinheads but the problem is skinheads are reclusive and exclusive. They are not generally a part of a large Christian congregation particularly one that loves other races

But in Islam that is not the case

Americans have a fear of this radical element influencing others, and forcing sharia law on them. Is it a rational fear? Well take a look at other nations like Lebanon, used to be a Christian nation.

Britian, the have whole enclaves is Muslims with radicalization going on

Same is happening across Europe.

Look at other nations that historically were at one time Christian and are now not only mostly Islamic, they force Sharia law on it's people and Christians are persecuted.

Egyptian radicals persecute the Coptics.

Americans fear the same is or will happen here.

The problem is, or the Solution is we need the Moderates to stand up more often and assure us this won't happen and in partnership with American authorities rat out the fringe radicals in their midst.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

moderates never seem to do that which makes them complicit also

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

It's fear

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

they have from time to time but it needs to happen more.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Freedom of Religion?

Here is a question, do they respect the freedom of religion of other religions?

What about Freedom of speech?

http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Islam_and_Freedom_of_Speech


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_r...n%27s_magazine

Happening now in Canada and Australia

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

There was neither freedom of religion nor freedom of speech under christian rule either.

You do realize that our constitution and ONLY our constitution is what separates us from these other countries?

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

It can be easy to assume that
"resist evil" = "fight evil,"
and this is not God's way for us, imo.
"Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread."

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

That is my point. In Islamic nations there are no freedoms of speech or religion

In Canada they DID have both. Recently they changed laws and Islamists have used it to silence opposing views

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

The point remains, these attitudes are born out of FEAR first, If you want to call them hate mongers so be it but that only fuels the fear

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Oh, I agree completely.
"When I defend myself, I am attacked."

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Nothing hypocritical regarding a forceful system slowly oozing their way into America. They are a evil system founded by a deluded man furthered by deceived persons ENABLED by "Christians" who are as ignorant as a rock. It's no wonder the nation is in the shape we find ourselves. Who needs enemies with such friends.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

"They" are not a system. They are a people. Many are very backward coming from poor third world nations. We should not demonize all Muslims.

While I have my opinions on the religion, we should not demonize the entire group. I personally have known Muslims from Egypt who are very nice people

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

BTW there are Muslims already living in that city...what difference does it make if they build a place of worship?

My only issue is if the are allowed to sound out 5 times a day loud calls to prayer as I feel that infringes on the space of neighbors.

And in this modern age everyone has a cell phone anyways, just call or txt them

There is no "peaceful" side of Islam. Only civil law here in the USA keeps them in check. Their peaceful side was illustrated circa. 911.

And to be realistic, citing Westboro is more than a joke. Sign holders vs. hijacked aircraft loaded with jet fuel flown into tall buildings with a single trajectory. There is no real world comparison.

Islam's objective is world domination and if it means you on the spit, so be it.
Don't be deceived by the bleeding heart pleading of the enablers and deluded persons who imagine they are winning them over. It will not be the case. Rose garden Christianity and supper on the ground might have been good for great granddad but those days are far behind us.

Islam is a cancer, a clear and present danger in ther republic. Only the ignorant, the gullible, the enablers ask you to allow the scimitar to your throat.

Proceed at your own risk.

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Nothing hateful concerning calling a spade a spade. Addressing the real world in real world terms is not hate but enlightenment.

And what does your comment have to do with the fact Islam is a demonic system?

Professing Christians [it seems] are the most deceived concerning these matters or is it just the most ignorant? Soon they will receive another wake up call.

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

You are deluded if you believe that these boys who performed acts that would in some countries get them whipped and other countries get them imprisoned (drinking as muslims) represent Islam

Your words: "Islam is a cancer, a clear and present danger in ther republic" are not new words at all. Consider the below:

"I ask Roosevelt, I ask the American people: Are you prepared to receive in your midst these well-poisoners of the German people and the universal spirit of Christianity?"

"Don't be misled into thinking you can fight a disease without killing the carrier, without destroying the bacillus. Don't think you can fight racial tuberculosis without taking care to rid the nation of the carrier of that racial tuberculosis. This Jewish contamination will not subside, this poisoning of the nation will not end, until the carrier himself, the Jew, has been banished from our midst." Words by Adolph Hitler during his rise to power

The cancer to which you refer is called intolerance. Tolerance was good enough for our fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers, but my fear is that it will not be good enough for us.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

oh, and ps, a licker of the fourth reich
accusing Islam of desiring world domination
is just priceless.

I'm curious, SOI, if you would agree that
"The South shall rise again?"
lol

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

The continual linking of every muslim on the planet with the (ten long since dead) 911 hijackers most assuredly implies that it is believed, at least in some minds, that they represent Islam

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Now byrd nobody said anything about reich. It was just being mildly pointed out that the offered message, though entertaining, is neither a new message nor a message that our founders and forefathers were all that supportive of. If it however waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck maybe we should start practicing our "heils" and start an underground railroad.

Not the first time "christian actions" resulted in "underground railroad" reaction now is it? LOL

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

Ha. Our specialty.
(They're all dead now? Hmm)

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

SOI, I did not mean to be rude,
but your posts are frankly heinous,
and you can only be forgiven because
you are so obviously parroting in ignorance.

The overwhelming majority of Muslims
are great people. I certainly don't expect you
to just believe this, after all the indoc,
and I wouldn't recommend you test their patience
in your present frame of mind,
but consider where your impressions
of Muslims have been formed, if you will.

It is those who glibly blurt
"lost as two boys kissing,"
who claim to speak for God,
that you should fear.

Re: Tennessee Mosque
 

As an aside, I have you narrowed down (ha, dbl E)
to Alabama, or Mississippi, or possibly Missouri-
-in pretty much that order, (haven't looked at whois yet)
