Daisy Khan And Her Magic Wand

I see. According to Daisy Khan, the opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque is fueled by hatred of Muslims. Don't think so. But since you are so wise, dear Daisy, let's assume that it is. With a wave of your wand, it's done...all people opposed to the building of the mosque near Ground Zero hate Muslims.

Hmm, nope. Still not feeling it. Not feeling the guilt with which you so cavalierly hoped to cow us. In fact, you've rather freed up my thoughts.

If we who oppose the Ground Zero Mosque do so because we hate Muslims, one could ask who has a better right to hate Muslims than the good people of America? After what Muslims did to our country on September 11, 2001, what could be a more normal reaction?

So let's recap. All people who oppose the Ground Zero Mosque hate Muslims. This hatred would be a normal reaction to the murders of innocent Americans and others via terror attacks planned and perpetrated by Muslims on September 11, 2001. Ergo, said American people should be thrilled to have a mosque celebrating the religion of said Muslim terrorists built near Ground Zero. Got it.

Whew...that was close. I was laboring under the misapprehension that a mosque built so close to Ground Zero would be in very bad taste. Kind of like a serial killer who feels powerful because the bodies of his victims are buried close by. But it couldn't be anything like that, now could it? If it were, you and the other proponents of this mosque would be determined to have it built there and only there...oh, wait. You are.

So it's just plain old bigotry and Islamaphobia on our side, not cold calculation and stealth jihad on your side, right Ms Khan? Thanks for clearing that one up for me. And don't stop talking, Daisy...you're helping me understand more than you could possibly know.

This Is What It's All About, Charlie Brown

For me, the desire...no, the determination, not to have the mosque built so close to Ground Zero boils down to this YouTube audio. Listen to it, if you can. Then multiply it by approximately 3,000.


For her, for this young lady who didn't make it out, and all the other people murdered in the name of Islam on September 11, 2001, there should be no mosque near Ground Zero. No mosque near Ground Zero. If you want to call me a bigot, or Islamaphobic, have at it. I will wear that badge proudly in Ms Doi's name.

And the anger builds...

Those of you who do not care if a mosque is built near Ground Zero, this is not your fight. You lose nothing if the mosque is not built. But those who do care will have to see that concrete and steel celebration of the "religion of peace" everyday.

I have a husband and children. I can't even imagine how sad and sickening it would be to live everyday knowing what my husband or child went through before they died on 911, and then to have to turn around and see that building. It is too much to ask.

Mr. Bloomberg, Ms Pelosi, and all you others who do not care if the 911 families have to live that way, I hate you with a passion I've never felt before, and I hate you even more for making me feel that way about you.

You do not care if the mosque is built near Ground Zero because you can't care enough about anything to hurt like these people will hurt if this thing is built.I would feel sorry for you if you didn't use that coldness as a battering ram of superiority against other people.

Yes, you'd get to pat yourself on the back everytime you looked at that building, and that is enough for you. You'd get to call yourself tolerant, and enlightened, and all those other words people who can't truly feel anything call themselves as cover.

Your sad little game of pick me, pick me has to stop now. This is too important to too many people. And you are not. I'm asking you to step aside and let us fight this thing. If you can't join the battle for the 911 families, then help them by getting out of the way.

Hey, New Yorkers, Mayor Bloomberg Just Isn't That Into You

Okay, I'll say it since nobody else will. Mayor Bloomberg of New York City does not seem to like the citizens of his city, at least those of the non-Muslim persuasion. Now, I don't have any proof, just anecdotal information that mounts up in that direction.

I am not a New Yorker, but I read from time to time about the ups and downs and goings on in your fair city. No smoking, okay...no salt, maybe okay...no this, no that...no tolerance for the feelings of New Yorkers who lived through the 911 terrorist attacks and don't want to have to look at a huge structure glorifying the "religion" of those terrorists . Okay, now we've got a problem.

I first became aware of the peculiar nature of your Mayor (besides the weird salt thing) after the failed New York City Times Square bombing. Mr. Mayor hypothesized that the would be bomber was probably some nutty right-winger who didn't want to wear the yoke of Obamacare. When that delusion was shattered, and it seemed likely that a muslim had parked that car there, Mr. Bloomberg went ballistic and warned the people of New York...you know, the average American joes who elected him in the first place (for the third time, but that's another story) not to take any action against muslims in revenge. In other words, Little Big Man stated that there would be no backlash against the muslims by New Yorkers.

The Mayor seemed (at least to me) singularly unconcerned about how the general citizenry might feel. His main objective seemed to be to protect the lives and tender feelings of the muslims in the city. Did any of you New Yorkites find that the least bit peculiar? Well, I did on your behalf.

And now Mr. Mayor is at it again. The Times Square Bomber was the prototype for the Monster Mosque that is to be built near Ground Zero. You remember, that place where 3,000 people died some years ago due to the muslim terrorist attacks? Bloomberg's famed and self-proclaimed tolerance for the building of the "Islamic Center" against the express wishes of the majority of polled citizens of New York City shows where his love lies. And it's not with you guys, you silly average New Yorkers, but with the very people who adhere to the very doctrine that caused that huge bloody hole in New York City. You know, the one where the World Trade Center towers used to stand? Yep, that hole.

Bloomberg reminds me of the mother of a serial killer; the one who keeps telling the police what a sweet boy her son is while the stink of the dismembered bodies buried in the basement surrounds her. That stink is on you, Mr. Bloomberg, and your sweet words of tolerance and ridiculous crocodile tears cannot make what you're doing smell any better.

I guess what I'm saying is that this mosque situation doesn't pass the smell test. In fact, it reeks. I think, perhaps, that there is a story there. I think that some enterprising journalist might find the story of a lifetime if he chose to look into the facts of this Ground Zero mosque matter. Where are Woodward and Bernstein when you need them? Oh, yeah, busy kissing our president's nether regions.

Oh, well, just forget it then. I mean, we're told everyday that Islam is a peaceful religion, so it must be. And we all know that the tolerance of the muslim faithful is legendary, beheaded bodies and women being stoned to death not withstanding. And I hear that Sharia Law isn't all that bad if you just go ahead and submit...ain't that right, Mr. Bloomberg?
