Whatever your beliefs, you are dead as in DEAD wrong when you make an assinine assertion that the palestinians(read Philistines) are respectful....
They are as murderous and hateful as their forebears. Yasser Arafat was a cold blooded murderer as are members of Hezbollah, Fatah, Al Queda, the Taliban and Islam in toto. It is their creed, "Kill the non-believers". The Israelis on the other hand, have had to fight simply to survive; historucal fact.So M. Destroy Capitalism, pull your head back into your hole, read some history and then speak with an educated mind.

In my previous comment i noted the baggage of the male republican candidates. Here is a laudry list for you to check
Romney is nothing but a career democrat retread and an advocate of centalized health care and more taxes.
Newt Gingrich hasn't the morals of an alley cat and is too beholden to the big money. Rick Santorum is a flip flopper who supported a Democrat in Pennsylvania. Ron Paul is a born again conservative, a far cry from the libertarian he used to purport to be. His biggest liability is his age ; if by some stroke of magic he were elected, he would be about 77 on inauguration day, 2013 the oldest by far of all our Presidents to date. Give some thought to the ladies; a changer for the better.

For over a year, I have pointed out the weaknesses of every male Republican candidate. The all carry too much baggage. There are many American women conservatives with the right kind of record who would do us proud as our President. I am convinced that Michele Bachmann would make a fine, courageous and honest Chief Executive. Sarah Palin is exactly the correct and complimentary age to be Michele's running mate. Two other ladies are experienced leaders and must be considered; Condoleeza Rice and Frances Rice. chair of the Black Republican organization and a retired Lt Colonel. Give that some thought folks.

Not to worry; Sir Dickhead Wolffe and Joe Behar have such minuscule little minds. They are beneath consideration in the real world where God is master and they are just so much manure getting in the way.

Secondly, I and many others have serious doubt about treating or recognizing Islam as a bona fide religion. Most, if not all reasonably sane, thoughtful and generous humans, who are adherents to a recognized, non-Islamic religion, serve a deity perceived as pure and devoid of evil. On the contrary, Muhammad, who was illiterate, recounted the so-called words of the Angel Gabriel, the self-same enunciator of the pending birth of Jesus Christ. Words which ordered Muhammad to command those who chose to follow the word of Allah to proselytize or convert the Arab tribes people and the Israelites by the sword if necessary.
According to Muhammad, Allah set forth all the rules for social and community behavior to include as worthy, polygamy, pedophilia and murder. In addition Muhammad stated that Allah said it was permissible to lie to protect oneself in ones Islamic beliefs (the practice of taqiyya).
Therefore, I conclude that Islam must not be considered a religion to be practiced as a right. This would constitute sufficient reason for denial of a permit for Islam to violate the hallowed Ground Zero site.

Some Thoughts on Islam and the Proposed Mosque at Ground Zero

I have just finished reading two different perspectives relative to the building of a mosque at or near ground zero. Both Roger Ebert writing in the Chicago Sun Times and Sally (Quinn) scribbling in the Washington Post, have their heads on lopsided. Roger acts like a namby-pamby bleeding heart while Sally is simply ignorant and arrogant.
Both Roger and Sally insist that the Islam, as a religion, must be accorded the same rights as the religions which have shed blood for America. That is an insane notion. First, Islam has never shed a drop of blood in defense of America; some few American Muslims have made that sacrifice. Other than that, Islam has been an aggressor, killing thousands of Americans and others attempting to free millions enslaved by Islam.

I have no idea how the navy handles queers; I do know the attitude that prevailed during my many years of service in the US Army both as an enlisted man and as an officer. Politically correct behaviour was not applicable to the homosexual crowd. If one gor caught, he or she was both ostracized and many time got the living crap knocked out of them. They are persona non grata because they cannot be trusted, PERIOD! I served for many years in the Military Police, had dealings with both gay men and lesbians. I never wanted any of their kind in my unit when I ws a commander nor did my troops and I was told this. If they want to do their thing, let them do it as civilains and keep their mouths shut. Just their presence, if discovered, is a major distraction..

I need not waste my time listening to Mr. Stone's musings. Muhammad himself never made a prohecy which came to fruition. Therefore why lend credence to the mouthings of lesser Islamic clerics or adocates.

I am in total agreement with muslimpoxbyebye 46p ; As I wrote sometime back, "A QUESTION AND AN ANSWER

The question is straightforward and painfully simple. Does Islam honestly qualify as a ‘religion’? Other than Islam, which touts Allah as their supreme deity, no other ‘religion’ boasts a deity commanding his subjects to murder in his name, to enslave their women, to practice pedophilia and polygamy, to face in so-called prayers, the birthplace of their one false suspect prophet, to offer alms giving as their only charitable work, to practice deception (taqiyya) and outright lying as a defense of their beliefs. To murder their own children for any perceived slur the child may have brought upon the family honor.
The list goes on ad nauseam. The answer too is straightforward and painfully simple; No! Islam does not qualify as a religion! It is more a cult similar to but far larger than those of James Jones and of David Koresh who was mercilessly ‘crushed’ by Janet Reno and the Clinton Administration. Therefore, I would differ with those, including Sarah Palin who noted that the ‘Muslims have the right to build the ‘Ground Zero’ Mosque but should they do so?’
The practice of Islam is too far outside the pale of a beneficent, humanitarian and loving religion. It is quite obvious that there is an ulterior motive couched in the phrase, “The Cordoba Initiative” that drives Islam in this instance. Quoting Tony Vega,NY Political Buzz Examiner
“From the rubble of the WTC, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, president of the Cordoba Initiative, called for Islamic dawa and sharia law on American soil, usurping the American Constitution.
Some that pride themselves as Patriots believe it is their constitutional duty to protect that Imam’s “right” to build his Initiative in the shadows of Ground Zero.
The framers did not intend the Constitution to be a suicide pact, nor did the framers desire that the Constitution be used by our enemies or supporters of the same to tear us asunder, or as a tool to promote useful idiots.
Supporters of dawa, jihad and sharia law and the furtherance of the same wrap themselves in a cloak of religious freedom and we say, “Welcome to America.” How easy are we?” Read Tony’s entire piece at&rdquo ;http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-new-york/the-cordoba-initiative-mosque-near-ground-zero. Therefore, it is my unequivocal, Hell No! in answer to: Should Muslims be allowed to desecrate Ground Zero?
One final note, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf has made use of several useful idiots to foster his nefarious scheme, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg who is doing a major disservice not only to New York City and the families of the 9/11 victims but to the Worldwide Jewish community as well."

Right on the button 'Hope". It appears that more people are heeding the words of Plato who admonshed, " If you do not engage in politics, you will be governed by your inferiors." That came to pass in 2008. I too pray that God will inspire the 'who cares' crowd to realize our predicament and get behind the activists and turn US around.
