Is the ground Zero Mosque an Arab/Islamic Coupe de Grace or is it the next Christian Crusade? I will honestly tell you that at this point I do not know which it is, but either one is not only scary, but extremely dangerous as well. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is a seriously emotional issue and that both sides of this issue are running on emotional highs too. I for one have mixed emotions about the notion of placing any mosque so close to Ground Zero, but I also do not have as much of a connection to the site compared to those people who live there and have lost loved ones on 9/11.
I for one have very serious views and beliefs with regard to the free practice of religion. I believe in the freedom of religion, because religion, the Judeo Christian ethic in particular, and the freedom to practice our religion without persecution are a large part of why we fought for our independence. The freedom to practice religion without persecution is also one of the main reasons that so many have immigrated to our shores too, and I cannot say freedom for me, but not for them in this matter, because I am not a hypocrite. I am however, a true red, white, and blue born and bred American.
Because of my American heritage, and ultra patriotic beliefs I do have a very real problem with the idea of putting this particular Mosque, sponsored by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who believes that we as a nation should be Sharia Law compliant, rather than secular with regard to the law of our land. I also understand that he has beliefs about certain elements within Islam that run counter to our national security interests as well. Now I want you to know that I weep for the loss of Muslim life on 9/11 the same as I do for all of the lives lost on that dreadful day, and I mean all of those lost souls.
I am sure that whoever reads this post is going to have their own ideas and beliefs about whether or not there should be a Mosque built at Ground Zero. Whatever you do just don’t use the argument that Muslims do not have enough space in New York to pray, because there are many Mosques there as well as one near Ground Zero already. One more thing and that is that we should not grant the Muslim Islamofascists any thing that they can represent to their followers as a victory against the west and Christianity. If I have to choose between a Muslim Coupe de Grace and a Christian crusade I choose the Crusade.
Well that is about all I have to say about this subject for now, but I am sure that I will be back here Simple Man Politics again soon with something else to talk about and my own opinion on whatever it is too. If you feel like commenting about this on my blog site, feel free to do so as long as there is no vulgarity, hate, or ignorance in your comment it will be posted regardless of whether or not we agree. I hope you all have a wonderful, happy, and prosperous week and until next time my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!
It was just eight years ago today that the fabric of our nation was torn by an act of cowardice so indescribable, that it could have only been motivated by a religion of blind hatred. I am talking about the cowardly attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. There is also United Flight 93, which ended in a field in Shanksville PA, when the passengers finally took action against the swine that hoped to attack the White House.
I have been thinking a lot about what I can say about this tragedy today that hasn’t already been said in the last eight years, and I have come up with exactly bupkiss. Since this tragedy there have been countless memorials, tributes, speeches, and just plain old conversation and in that time it has all been said. All I can tell you from my point of view is don’t forget. Those who do forget their history will be doomed to repeat it.
Of course there are those out there that would like nothing better than for us to forget what happened on that September day. The shock for me is that they are not all on foreign soil, because they are right here at home as well. Some of them believe that the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy. Others in our country just want it to go away as if it had never happened, because Muslims feel disrespected that we don’t forget about 9/11.
Then there is of course our fearless leader President Barack Hussein Obama. Obama just signed into law a measure this past April that has designated September 11th a National Day of Service. I am not sure exactly what that means, but there are those out there who believe this is an attempt to drain away the meaning of this day from the American people.
The logic that seems to be promoting this theory is that the progressive, socialist, radical elements of the extreme left fear this day. They fear 9/11 because it supposedly gives the conservative right Republican Party an advantage over the Liberal left Democratic Party. Their theory being that it allows Republicans to become activists against the Democrats efforts to negotiate with the very terrorists who are responsible for 9/11.
I don’t see how anyone can say that the tragedy we as a nation suffered on 9/11 with the loss of more than 3000 deaths can give anyone an edge. The truth is that we had lost our edge on national defense and that is why the attacks were successful. The only people with a geo political agenda that thought they had benefited were the terrorists, but they found out really fast that they were wrong.
Since that dreadful day and in no small part due to the efforts of then President George Walker, Bush and his government we have regained the upper hand. For the record since that dreadful day there has been no successful attempt to attack us inside our own borders as well. Unfortunately I feel that we may lose the hard won edge that we have fought to regain since the supreme apologist and his cohorts have taken power.
However as for myself September 11th will always be a day for me to remember what was done to our nation and our people. September 11th will also serve as a reminder to me of what we should do to any person or group who dares to attack us again, and that is kill them all and let GOD sort them out later. We should show them no mercy and take no prisoners, just waterboard, torture, and then kill the lot of them.
I hope you all have a great and awesome September 11th, and remember to never forget. I will see you all next week my friends, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
