This point of view sounds more based in atheism than in religion.

Now I'm gonna go beat up on the fat target.

Tw forgets that Osama bin Laden wouldn't have gone anywhere nor become anything without Islam generally. He got positive feedback by the ton lot from the anti-Western sector of Islam. Not Christianity, not Judaism, nor even the Copts, still less the Cathars: he got it from Islam.

Tw's other point of inattention is he believes his personal opinions to be both neutral and natural. Then he tries to tell half the world it should agree they are, in the presence of the half that knows they are not. I'd try and repair that sort of thing if it happened to me...

As I have said many times when Classicman was constantly posting lies about his death: The enemy is bin Laden and his organization called Al Qaeda. But since I was replying again to Classicman, I dumbed it down only to bin Laden. No reason to write it all out. He will not hear it anyway. Limbaugh has not yet told him how to think.

Which changes nothing. This discussion exists because extremists have promoted hate and fear of Islam.

An extremist keep citing himself as a citation to prove bin Laden is dead. Another technique taught in propaganda school. Anything to obfuscate those inciting hate and fear of Muslims. It’s only a mosque. Not an axis of evil – another myth invented by same extremists to create fear and hate. The enemy is bin Laden – and those who invent fear of Muslims for political power. Oh. It’s all Obama’s fault.

Greg Gutfield: I'm building an Islamic gay bar next to the GZ mosque

Quote:
This is not a joke. I've already spoken to a number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid for understanding and tolerance.

As you know, the Muslim faith doesn't look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I'm building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world.

The goal, however, is not simply to open a typical gay bar, but one friendly to men of Islamic faith. An entire floor, for example, will feature non-alcoholic drinks, since booze is forbidden by the faith. The bar will be open all day and night, to accommodate men who would rather keep their sexuality under wraps - but still want to dance.

Have you not quoted yourself repeated tw? I did it intentionally to mock you.
Even you are not that much a fool not to see that.

And again for the record. I do not listen to nor agree with Limbaugh.
Your extremist views seem to blind you from the truth. Why is it that you cannot see?

Are you able to acknowledge and state these extremists were nineteen Muslims, the blind sheikh and how many convicted co-conspirators? Are you able to even read these words?

No. But look how much else is; it's plenty. Jeezus, kid, you're worse than Redux. Knowing you, I cannot say I'm surprised. But what a terrible thing to make an effort for! I'll blame you personally for Obama; no one can blame me for voting against that stuck-in-the-Sixties Socialist because I'm too smart to believe in bread and circuses. I voted against him once and will do it again. But I can blame you for breaking the economy because you weren't with it enough to read and digest Henry Hazlitt, can't I?

And there's another toughie: calculating the desirability of having drunked-up NOW people spilling into the streets. Oyyyy.

Now they've gone too far!

The Muslims have built a minaret on the 2012 Republican Convention logo!

As much as I would love to attack the Republicans for being "Islamic Fascist" as a University of Tampa student
the minaret is part of Plant Hall on our campus.
bold mine ...

This is a non-story. It was a non-story when the right was going nuts about the new missile defense logo (http://biggovernment.com/fgaffney/20...es-a-crescent/) and it's a non-story now that the GOP is using a logo with minarets.

Let's not get into meaningless symbology.

I would have thought that it was obvious that I was being tongue in cheek.

I'm more concern about the red exploding oil rig on the logo.
