They're making a point that the Muslims fail to acknowledge. Point being that the mosque is too damn close to the site of an atrocity caused by their violent religion. You guys have problem when Christians or Fox News make homophobic, sexist, or other discriminatory points, yet you defend Islam.
The very fact that they're not taking the Don's offer shows that they are here to build a victory Mosque and nothing less.

happy 9/11 cena!

cool story bro

We need to ban black churches near everywhere that the KKK attacked. How dare they practice Christianity near a place where Christian terrorists killed people! Sure the black churches will point out that they were also targeted and killed and they oppose such extremists, but ultimately they read a book and worship a God that condones violence. Did you know they openly admit to wanting to take over the government and convert everyone?

I'm not for banning anything. This is America, they have a right to build the Mosque. But they still shouldn't out of courtesy and respect for their fellow Americans. I'll use my American rights to voice my displeasure over their actions.
All they have proved is that even the "moderate" Muslims are assholes too.

oh man you brought your A game

I'd expect nothing less

I don't feel like I'm defending Islam, I feel like I 'm defending New York City Muslims against the ridiculous lie that they want to celebrate a terrorist attack on their own home. The notion that people who actually breathed the smoke and dust are being insensitive to the concerns of Sarah Palin and a bunch of people who usually hate New York makes me want to projectile vomit.

The Republicans voted down health care for disabled 9/11 responders, because it threatened tax loopholes for off shore multinationals. (Yes, I know, the Dems contributed to the defeat by being incompetent pussies) This left the republicans feeling vulnerable, and needing an issue to make 9/11 their own once again.

Fair point. Lets replace "ban" with "engaging in a campaign of fear, slander, intimidation and arson against black churches, because they're disrespecting the memories of black and white people killed by the KKK by simply being of the nominally same religion". I don't see how that's any less ludicrous. People have a right to voice their displeasure, and everyone else is free to point out that they're bigoted idiots.

Obligatory there's already been a closer mosque for years, there's strip clubs and OTB's closer, there were Muslim prayer centers in the WTC and Pentagon on 9/11, Al-Qaeda's targeted and killed more moderate multicultural Muslims than any other group, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Like Holmes said, its Gingrich, Rove, et all using the standard red cape for the conservative base they have so much contempt for. They fire them up with fear (gays, immigrants, etc.) then count the votes, laugh and do nothing about it once in power. These guys have gay family members (or are gay themselves) and deal regularly with Saudi's and companies that import Mexican labor. Its all a big joke on the Tea Party base that they fall for again and again.

tl;dr - I need to stop confusing PoeTV with my politics forums.

Stop replying. Stop replying to him.

chet has a really high tolerance for idiots i guess

He just needs to post an owl getting hosed down.

Muslims have the same rights as Christians... they can build a Christian church anywhere they like.



Thank you. I'll be here all night, folks.

I'm not in a campaign of fear or slander. I'm not a Muslim, I don't make threats of violence. I'm not like that Imam who said that there would be violence if the Mosque was moved.

i take credit for this thread

Cena Mark, I thought you had given up. I really had. You have made me believe in heroes again.

So I guess this means Cena will be calling for no Catholic churches to be built anywhere near grade schools or playgrounds, right?

Where did I put my chart of priestly pedophilia activities in relation to the nearest day care center? I know it was around here somewhere...

The United States of America is built on the ground zero of European atrocity against natives, and maintains itself by fucking over the rest of the planet, so fuck it, atrocity monuments everywhere! 9/11/1492, never forget.

Now don't go insulting my brothers in arms. At least the bodies they desecrate are those of enemy combatants.

Uh, no they're not, you stupid cunt.

Nerdzbau, A brown finger's a brown finger.

These stars are for RomancingTrain. Such spot-on parody that I thought for a second that you were actually Cena's backup login.

That'd be "Brothers in Fingers," but hey, if you're into carrying around larger souvenirs in the form of human body parts... then stay away from my neighborhood.

"Project," not "Committee."

The Illuminati so dislikes it when you can't remember the names of their puppet organizations. Fnord.
