This is in response to the letter by Diana Cundy of Paris and her criticism of Aug. 25 against the Sun Journal and Cal Thomas for writing and printing material that exposes the building of a mosque near ground zero for what it is: a travesty of all that is decent in this country.
Moderate Islam, indeed. Can Cundy find more than a handful? Some moderates have spoken out and have denounced that proposed mosque.
The proposed mosque is opposed by a huge majority of Americans and it should be. It is yet another Muslim symbol of victory planted near the point of their conquest.
Cundy has no clue. Does she know that the name "Cordoba House" comes from the Islamic memorial in Spain from an earlier jihad? Does she know that Imam Rauf is a staunch supporter of Sharia law? Does she know what Sharia law entails? Is she aware they won't divulge where the funding is coming from?
I suspect not.
Can we bury our heads in the sand and whine about religious freedom while the radical Islamists would deny us of all our freedoms, all under the banner of liberal, politically-correct tolerance?

So momof4, please be patient with me if I don't respond right away -- that's why I say in the "report inappropriate comment" message that it can take up to one business day for a response.

Jared said: "The proposed mosque is opposed by a huge majority of Americans and it should be." So Jared, now the court of public opinion is deciding where houses of worship can be built? And all this because of the actions of the 9/11 terrorists? How about we talk about the attrocities committed by the French and the Indians in the New England states, Maine included? Should we now ban the building of Catholic churches? What about the attrocities committed by the English against the French and the Indians? Should we ban the Church of England/Anglican/Episcopalian or the Congreational churches?
You also said: "Is she aware they won't divulge where the funding is coming from?" Maybe not, but I am; a large portion of it is coming from Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who just happens to be the second largest share holder in Rupert Murdock's Newscorp, the parent company of Fox News.
Jared, if we as a country are going to hold ourselves up as the bastion of freedom and what's right in the world, there are going to be some times, like this, that we have to sit on our emotions. If we want to go after terrorists and torturers and hold them accountable, then we cannot practice terror and torture ourselves. If we want to spout off about all of our freedoms and rights, then we cannot deny those freedoms and rights to others simply because a few members of their religion or sect committed an attrocity-and yes, the 9/11 attacks were an attrocity. A lot of the heated rhetoric has stated that the issue is because the Islamic Center is being built at "Ground Zero" (it's not, it's two blocks away). Would it be more acceptable if it were three blocks, or in the Bronx, or in New Jersey? Jared, the fact is, we better start practicing what we preach, otherwise, we're just another bunch of hypocrites.

The first amendment is a "a travesty of all that is decent in this country." Because allowing a religious organization to build a community center on private property is not what America stands for! We should put EVERY construction project in every town in America up for a vote because "The proposed mosque is opposed by a huge majority of Americans and it should be." USA! USA! USA!

tron, one could argue that elections are a perfect case of where one group can have its way. For example, gay marriage and tax restructuring (gouging). While not religious, its the same issue, majority rules on many issues in this country. But lets take it a step further, lets say I belong to a religion that does not beleive in health care or health insurance...will i be able to get out of the new Obummer health plan (NOPE!)...There are no exceptions built in for religious reasons. But then again that was a majority of congress, not a majority of America...as polls continue to show.

The liberal political majority (in their own minds) dictate to Christianity whenever they get the opportunity. The most recent example is the Lyndon cross. It must be really terrible to be so insecure that you have to resort to selective dictating.
