How to Make a Mosque Less Offensive to Westerners

Mosque Burned in Tennessee

A mosque under construction in Tennessee was burned to the ground a couple of days ago. The mosque site was located in a suburb of Nashville. The sheriff there has said the burning has been ruled as arson.

Of course, the Left is saying that it was opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque that caused the arsonists to start the fire. On the contrary, the Tennessee burning was undoubtedly provoked by the decision to build the Ground Zero mosque in the first place. If domestic Muslims had any sensitivity for the feelings of other Americans, perhaps they wouldn't be facing growing opposition from a motivated citizenry.

So who's responsible for the Tennessee arson? Muslims and the left wing liberals who support them. A local Tennessee Muslim said:

"We unfortunately did not experience hostilities for the 30 years we've been here and have only seen the hostility since approval of the site plan for the new center," said Sbenaty.

What happened to alienate the non-Muslims in the area?  Well, there was this thing called 9/11, and unending terrorist attacks across the globe, and many would-be terrorists arrested right here in the USA.  Then  there was the mosque to be built at Ground Zero, which has further alienated millions of Americans.  Many see it as a "victory" mosque to celebrate the death of infidels there.  No doubt this hostility spilled over to the Tennessee area.  Now, every time a mosque is under construction, the local residents will be reminded of the seditious and violent nature of Islam....and they will resent it.  Thank Feisal Abdul Rauf.

One local resident explained why Islam is viewed with growing hostility in Tennessee (and elsewhere):

"They are not a religion. They are a political, militaristic group," Bob Shelton, a 76-year-old retiree who lives in the area, told The Associated Press.

To paraphrase the Reverend Jeremiah Wright:  "Islam's Chickens...are coming home....TO ROOST!"

Pat Condell: "No Mosque at Ground Zero"

Unbelievable!  The religion that murdered 3,000 Americans plans to build a 13 story mosque at the site where the Americans were murdered, i.e. Ground Zero in New York City.  Even more outrageous is that the Muslim builders plan to dedicate the mosque on September 11, 2011, the tenth anniversary of Islam's attack on America.  The liberals and leftists are, of course, supportive of the plan.  Pat Condell tells them off in the video below.

Pamela Geller "Owns" the Muslim Commentator on Sean Hannity Today

I just heard Pamela Geller debate a Muslim commentator on Sean Hannity's radio program today.  She was arguing against the planned construction of a super mosque near Ground Zero.  Geller spoke very well off the cuff, and was loaded with facts.

Pamela Geller is planning a protest rally at Ground Zero on June 6, the anniversary of D-Day, to protest the construction of this mosque.

Meanwhile, Debbie Schlussel's plan to stop the mosque is to continue her slander against Geller.

Swiss Ban Minarets on Mosques

In a surprising European slap at Islamization, the Swiss have voted overwhelmingly to ban new construction of minarets on mosques.  Minarets are those missile shaped structures that generally surround the main building and resemble a watch tower.  To me, a mosque with minarets resembles a giant octopus that is flipping us off.

A Swiss coalition forced the vote through a referendum.  According to Reuters:

A group of politicians from the SVP, the country's biggest party, and the Federal Democratic Union gathered enough signatures to force the referendum on the initiative which opposes the "Islamization of Switzerland."

This is good news.  It demonstrates an awakening among some Europeans of the cultural risks of allowing large numbers of Muslims into their country, not to mention the dangers of terrorism and subversion.

Walter Wobman, chairman of the initiative committee, explained:

"We just want to stop further Islamization in Switzerland, I mean political Islam. People may practice their religion, that is no problem."

"We want to stop the further developments -- minarets ... Sharia law," the SVP parliamentarian said. "The minaret is the power symbol of political Islam and Sharia law."
