Side-Lines

This picture just makes me want to kill.....seriously. I have no compassion, love or understanding for Muslims. Murdering cold calculating subhuman pieces of excrement.

That cover shot just needs some money quotes from imam falafel what’s his name moonpie. What did he say “Bin Laden is born in the USA”, “America is to blame for 9/11”…

Or in Arabic: "The Shrine of the 19 Martyrs".

“O blessed Holy Warrior Atta, you took down the looming tower of the infidels and raised a mosque in its place!”

I'm embarrassed to quote myself from another comment, but not enough to stop me...

There are two truths here, of which the Anchoress’ point about the loss of cultural confidence in America is one. The other is the culture clash between Americanism and Islamism, which is just starting to heat up in my opinion, because many westerners are just recently becoming aware of the incompatibility between the two ideologies.

To be sure, there are still some westerners in America who don’t see the threat (about 29%) and seem to find only Christian assertions of identity as dangerous to civil society, such as a cross off a desert highway commemorating dead servicemen or a tiny cross on the Los Angeles county seal (the city of angels, ironically). Interestingly, these same people, predominantly on the Left, tend to discredit the reasons Muslims give for hating the West – namely our liberality – and yet, are vulnerable to believing credulous claims of “bridge-building” by transparently aggressive, hostile, militant flag-planting on conquered territory at Ground Zero.

These are the fruits of the Left: the utter historical ignorance of America’s founding principles, of the contributions of Jewish and Christian ideals to the American idea; the near complete Biblical illiteracy which allowed Obama to get away with claiming ostensible justification for slavery and stoning of one’s children “found” in the Old Testament without disqualifying himself from winning the presidency (look it up on YouTube); the notion that everyone has good intentions apart from sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, bigoted conservative Christians the Left has successfully smeared as such; the loss of national identity, because, despite living in the most prosperous, liberal (in the “free” sense), tolerant and self-giving nation ever known to man, “nationalism” is *bad*; and the resultant idea that America should absorb all the wretched refuse from the narco-state on its border, but should not, under any circumstances, export her values, as that would be *imperialism*.

I am encouraged that about 70% of Americans get that the GZ mosque is not a legal/constitutional issue, but a moral one. However, I fear many in that 70% underestimate the threats facing western American ideals rooted in Judeo-Christian values. The threats from religious/political/militant Islam, particularly illiberal shariah, which maintains “ordered societies” by such prescriptions as standardized stone size for inflicting the maximum damage on an “adulteress” (who may have been raped) buried up to her neck, while keeping her alive as long as possible, are immense. Those westerners and/or Christians who would submit to shariah to maintain order really don’t understand much about either the west or Christianity.

The other major threat to Americanism comes from the lawless illiberal Left, which has its own “shariah” in areas such as environmentalism and which rewrites the Constitution to mean whatever it believes it should and denies any moral absolutes.

This is why I exhort my ideological allies to promote cultural confidence and national identity. It is why I am a western chauvinist and why I descry a mosque at Ground Zero and a Leftist in the Oval Office. You can’t fight something with nothing and one of these ideologies is going to prevail in the coming years. Those who believe in the dignity of humans from conception to natural death (the right to life…), in the necessity of liberty, free enterprise and the sacredness of private property for human flourishing (…liberty and the pursuit of happiness), in the importance of the rule of law and the moral absolutes articulated in the Bible to maintaining an ordered society, need to draw a line in the sand. I can’t think of a better place than Ground Zero.

One Book, Two Titles: Imam Faisal 'Abd Al-Rauf's Book Acquires New Title In Indonesian Translation

Imam Faisal 'Abd Al-Rauf's book What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West was published in Indonesian in 2007 with a different title – Seruan Azan Dari Puing WTC: Dakwah Islam di Jantung Amerika Pasca 9/11 ("The Call of Azan from the Rubble of the World Trade Center: Islamic Da'wa in the Heart of America Post-9/11").

The azan is the muezzin's call to prayer. It consists of a number of sentences repeated several times: "Allahu Akbar," the Shahada (la ilaha illa Allah wa-Muhammad rasoul Allah – "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger") and the phrase "Gather for prayer." It is noteworthy that, in the period of Muslim conquests in the first centuries of Islam, this call was made from newly conquered sites.
