Ground Zero Mosque Protests, Rhetoric Feed Jihadists' Fire

Interesting development. As more and more American's voice their displeasure at the proposed building of the mosque at ground zero in New York, the more Islamics across the world are rallying against Americans.

Meanwhile the carnal politicians are clueless as to why this was bound to happen.

They'll believe a lie, and reject the truth. The world is so ready for the Antichrist to appear.

I wanna go Home... "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

"Terrorists like Al Qaeda and its violent allies are motivated already to try to attack the United States, but when it comes to propaganda, extremists are pure opportunists. They'll use whatever they can," the official said.

It so amazes me that our government can turn a blind eye to real threats happening like this one. In the first amendment, we have the "Establishment" clause and the "Free Exercise" clause. Free exercise is permitted as long as it does not cause an "excessive burden" to the government, like Reynolds v. U.S. in 1879, regarding Mormons and polygamy.

My point is, that when a peaceful protest is happening with a legitimate end, and the religion/people involved are casting death threats, something is very, very wrong, and illegal. This would be a great case that case law would(should?) uphold as to the validity of a religion in a "Free Exercise" mode. All of the "peaceful" muslims that are waving "sharia" around would definitely fall under this, as sharia is a clear violation of the bill of rights, and would pose an "excessive burden". I understand that most of the threats are on "international" jihadist sites, but we know good and well where they are coming from.

Not 'moderate' as claimed:

Quote:New audio has surfaced of the imam behind the controversial mosque near Ground Zero allegedly telling an audience overseas that the United States has been far more deadly than al-Qaeda. "We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non Muslims," Feisal Abdul Rauf said at a 2005 lecture sponsored by the University of South Australia. After discussing the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Rauf went on to argue that America is to blame for its testy relationship with Islamic countries.

"What complicates the discussion, intra-Islamically, is the fact that the West has not been cognizant and has not addressed the issues of its own contribution to much injustice in the Arab and Muslim world."

Good for her.

Quote:Iowa's Republican national committeewoman said today that she believes President Barack Obama is truly a Muslim, contradicting his earlier statements that he's a Christian.

Kim Lehman, who is one of Iowa's two national Republican Committee members, may be one of the first national committee members to publicly state she believes Obama is a Muslim.

In a speech in Egypt in June 2009, Obama said he is a Christian. But Lehman said the speech "just had the appearance that he was aligning himself with the Muslims."

Lehman in a telephone interview this morning said what matters is not her personal view that Obama is a Muslim, but his own answer to the issue.

"He's the one that the news is about. It isn't about me. Call the president. ... Say, 'Are you a Christian or not?' " Lehman said. "If I'm wrong, I'm more than happy to say, 'Oh, I'm wrong."

Lehman began to attract attention when she posted a Twitter message last week in response to a Politico news article about a Pew poll that shows 31 percent of Republicans and 10 percent of Democrats believe Obama is a Muslim. The Politico article pointed out that Obama - whose father was raised as a Muslim - has repeatedly found his faith questioned, and has "confronted the rumors head-on."

"@politico you're funny. They must pay you a lot to protect Obama. BTW he personally told the muslims that he IS a muslim. Read his lips," Lehman said on her Twitter page on Thursday.

This morning, Lehman said she was referring to an Obama speech in Cairo last summer in which he reached out to Muslims "to seek a new beginning." In that speech, he makes no comment about being Muslim, a transcript shows.

Lehman said she objected to Obama's speech because "it just had a sense of embracing or aligning with the Muslims. I don't know. It was unnecessary the stuff he said. That's the whole point."

Lehman said she would never give anyone the impression that she is anything but a Christian.

"I don't give myself an appearance to the Muslims that I am aligning myself with the Muslims. I am strictly a Christian. I believe that. I stand by that. I'll die by that," she said.

Again, she repeated that reporters, including the one from the Huffington Post who also called this morning, should be questioning Obama, not her.

"He's the one that should be asked the question, 'Look, the country's confused, President. You went over there. We know what you said before but things have changed. What's your position. Are you a Christian? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven because that's what the Christian faith believes. It's the defining difference between Christianity and other religions."

Derrick Plummer, the Democratic National Committee's Midwest regional press secretary, said: "We have no comment regarding her statement."
