Mosque Sham

Noise takes up the airwaves, verbiage the printed page. It’s all big business naturally but ninety percent is - no surprise - garbage.

Take the mosque bit. When the soaps are off the air, why not? It’s become tabloid. Big $. What a waste.

Actually, this mosque deal has nothing to do with freedom of religion or tolerance. It’s a matter of decent respect for sensibilities. The authors of 9/11 hyped the same “faith” the proposed mosque celebrates. We all know that. That should be enough. Stop the noise.

Not so fast, just one little problem.

BO’s obsequious posturing to Muslims, his insipid and mindless appeasement of this “religion” is truly repulsive but that is what the slum lord Feisal Abdul Rauf is counting on (oh, you didn’t know he was a slum lord?). And that’s what's given life to this thing.

During a visit to the home place the other day we saw a full page ad in the Fresno Bee, a whole bunch of folk - grocers, salesmen, truck drivers, all together in a big family pic, all smiling and in the type below telling us readers just what great Americans they really are.

The only differentiation between these and their more militant cousins is measured in degrees of aggression. They all go by the same book. (The grocers just don’t have the xxxx’s to shoot us, yet.) That’s the book that calls for a reordering of society, the complete merger of church and state, by force if necessary. With the exception of Turkey, all other Muslim countries are run by the Koran, that is, by the teachings of one Mohammed, a 6th century butcher (who in his spare time enjoyed life as a pedophile).

No problem for Obama. In his official statement on the occasion of Ramadan Obama praised “Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings . . . (its) great diversity and racial equality” and “American Muslims’ . . . extraordinary contributions to our country.” This is nonsense. Conrad Black reminds us, “Islam has done nothing to advance justice or any version of progress or tolerance, and Obama, like Condoleezza Rice, is regularly denounced by the official outlets of leading Muslim countries in ethnic slurs that would embarrass Bull Connor and Lester Maddox.”
Too much!

Let’s get Obama to shut up, cut the noise and in so doing get this mosque sham put to bed.
