Mosque at 51 Park Place, NY, NY - Page 7

gvidas · 08-06-2010, 10:03 PM

Is there an argument against the project that isn't rooted in a fairly fundamental discomfort with Islam?

Not only is it going to be a fairly architecturally ambiguous project (minaret-free, as it were), the mosque is actually going to be fairly far, in an urban sense, from ground zero.

I'm posting this because I feel exactly the same about the Anti Defamation League and it's recent decision about the Mosque...

Fareed Zakaria's Letter to the ADL

Quote:

Dear Mr. Foxman,
Five years ago, the ADL honored me with its Hubert Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize. I was delighted and moved to have been chosen for it in good measure because of the high esteem in which I hold the ADL. I have always been impressed by the fact that your mission is broad – “to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens” – and you have interpreted it broadly over the decades. You have fought discrimination against all religions, races, and creeds and have built a well-deserved reputation.

<snip>

I cannot in good conscience hold onto the award or the honorarium that came with it and am returning both. I hope that it might add to the many voices that have urged you to reconsider and reverse your position on this issue.* This decision will haunt the ADL for years if not decades to come. Whether or not the center is built, what is at stake here is the integrity of the ADL and its fidelity to its mission. Admitting an error is a small price to pay to regain your reputation.

I wonder how long it will take Fareed to admit his.

You know something about him that I should know ?

He reportedly owns Snapple, too.

Careful. Classicman will also quote you as a source.

Inventing lies to promote fear. So necessary for wackos to achieve power. Where are those Saddam WMDs? What does the party line say?

The CIA chief in an interview maybe one year ago said he does not know where bin Laden is. He is probably in Pakistan. And was known to be alive some years ago. As long as bin Laden runs free, wacko extremists must invent his death. Otherwise they must admit why bin Laden runs free. .

Classicman just posted that bin Laden was selling the best thing on earth! Then he deleted it. Did he mean terrorism or Snapple? Terrorism is the best thing on earth for extremists. It promote hate.

Be careful what you tell extremists. They will quote anything that promotes their political agenda.

Sponge Bob is no longer wearing square pant. Bob must be gay. Gays conspired with Saddam to attack the WTC? And bin Laden is dead. More tales from an extremist’s crypt. Amazing the nonsense an extremist will post to promote hate. And to take cheap shots at Obama.

Bin Laden is most likely dead. Why would the head of the CIA not admit that? Think about it. Easy answer.

Completely FALSE! Ask a Mod.

Perhaps you'd have more support if you could link the two issues.
