Yea PC is getting ridiculous. Here in Canada the airport security was letting Muslim women in burqua's pass without even checking their faces. For all they know it could be a man or crazy Muslim with a bunch of bombs strapped under their layers. Other dumb examples Sikh sues employer for making him wear a hard hat at a construction site forcing him to take off his turban. And yet another Sikh one; here they are allowed to carry their ceremonial daggers even into schools. Their has been several incidents of them using them for unceremonious things ie violence. I'm all for freedoms but common sense should prevail and it isn't.

You won't get a reasoned response to your query - the paper tigers here want both to have their constitution and to eat it.

Don't know it to be true but I saw a person holding a sign at the landmark status meeting yesterday. It stated that "Islam builds Mosques at the sites of their conquests and victories". I would hope that someone in the know might comment on this.

It's not constitutional at all--the federal government isn't banning anything. It's a zoning issue, and strictly local. New York can do whatever it wants, and commonly do. > Here's a piece by a guy who thinks a little before he opens his mouth: > > http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/04/opinion/04friedman.html?th&emc=th I heard that Broadway show from the White House. While the country suffers, from a President who'd pledged not to rest, he imports Broadway to perform in his court whilst he fetes and feasts--a truly terrible display. And Friedman gets his entire rationale entirely wrong. Where he closes on the Melting-Pot miracle, he's spent his entire piece describing not assimilation but Balkanization, the anti-melting pot. -- Cheers, James Arthur

Is it true that "Islam builds Mosques at the sites of their conquests and victories"? Absolutely true. The entire thing is intended to be a total slap in the face for all free Americans. So far the socialists in the government seem to be supporting them fully, too. Damn it, it is absolutely time to do a FULL HOUSE CLEANING of the federal government, and any state/local governments who have forgotten that this is America. That includes the Poopsident, Mr. Obama. |
