Don’t Build The Dang Mosque

The first rule of tolerance is if it’s not a two-way street it’s not tolerance. The second rule is pointless provocation is not a sign of tolerance.

While there may very well be positive aspects to Islam, that that religion was integral to the motivations of the 9/11 hijackers is not something that can be denied and for Feisal Abdul Rauf to want to build, not a small humble structure, but a towering edifice near the site of most of those murders shows gross insensitivity at best, and despicable finger-in-the-eye, start-a-fight triumphalism at worst.

And if  space really were the issue, Rauf could probably save a few tens of millions dollars by moving 10 blocks north rather than south, and probably end up with more room.

Tolerance is good. To promote it, rather than object to protesters exercising their rights to do so, we should seek to open churches — Trinitarian or Unitarian — in churchless Saudi Arabia.

And it the name of tolerance, we should also listen to what the protesters have to say, and not judge them.

Jeff Epstein Iranian Pilgrims, Soulmates

Jeff Epstein Iranian Pilgrims, Soulmates — Pilgrims to the Imam Reza Shrine — one of Iran’s biggest tourist centers — are getting a special holy offer according to Planet-Iran .com, which is a website devoted to translating news and documents from Persian to English and letting the rest of us see for ourselves the bizarre world of the ayatollahs.

The document, dated July 18, offers, well, temporary marriages since “Marriage is among the traditions of the Prophet Mohammad” according to the Shrine’s “Bureau of Temporary Marriages”.

The temporary “marriages” are to females between the ages of  “12 and 35” and range in time from five hours to a whole 10 days. The shrinekeepers, of course, responsibly warn that for “sisters who are below 14 years of age, a written consent from their fathers or male guardians is required.”

Now, before you start reacting in rage and horror to this practice — especially if you should happen to be a Democrat voter — you ought to be aware of another recent event that you probably missed in the dino media.

Hedge-fund billionaire Jeff  Epstein became a free man earlier this month after serving an  25-month sentence in Palm Beach, Fla. for his  guilty plea  for “solicitation  prostitution”  and “soliciting a minor child for prostitution” which are state crimes. Michael Reiter, the man who was the police chief of Palm Beach during the investigation, was among those outraged at the deal since  what Epstein had been accused of was numerous sexual encounters with minor girls some of whom he imported from overseas including a trio of 12-year-olds from France. The federal  Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 demands a minimum sentence of 20 years for such things.

The feds, however, touched this case in the manner of a limo liberal removing a Baby Ruth candy bar from a country-club pool. That Jeff Epstein was close friends with and a major donor to Bill Clinton and a pre-disgraced Eliot Spitzer, and had gathered a legal team that included Alan Dershowitz, Roy Black and Kenneth Starr was merely incorrupt happenstance.

Sure.

That 25-month sentence, btw, included 12 months of house (mansion) arrest and 13 months in the county jail from which he was allowed to take daily field trips to his office.

Anyway, here’s a link to the Planet-Iran page containing the shrinekeepers’ offer in Persian if you should so desire to translate it yourself, and below will be the complete text in English.

And before you start hating the people of Iran — as many Arab Muslims do — know that those brave folk are in a near rebellion against their corrupt state, which is something else that is not being widely reported by the dinosaurs. The shopkeepers in the major bazaars continue their risky strikes and two major acts of sabotage have been made against the nation’s vital fossil fuel industry.

You certainly don’t see the Democrats rebelling against their perverse and totalitarian masters.

The shrinekeepers’ offer:

Bismellah al rahman a rahim

Temporary Marriage (Marriage is among the traditions of the Prophet Mohammad)

In order to elevate the spiritual atmosphere, create proper psychological conditions and tranquility of mind, the Province of the Quds’eh-Razavi of Khorassan has created centers for temporary marriage (just next door to the shrine) for those brothers who are on pilgrimage to the shrine of  our eighth Imam, Imam Reza, and who are far away from their spouses.

To that end, we call on all our sisters who are virgins, who are between the ages of 12 and 35 to cooperate with us. Each of our sisters who signs up will be bound by a two year contract with the province of the Quds’eh-Razavi of Khorassan and will be required to spend at least 25 days of each month temporarily married to those brothers who are on pilgrimage. The period of the contract will be considered as a part of the employment experience of the applicant. The period of each temporary marriage can be anywhere between 5 hours to 10 days. The prices are as follows:

* 5 hour temporary marriage – 50,000 Tomans ($50 US)
* One day temporary marriage – 75,000 Tomans ($75 US)
* Two day temporary marriage – 100,000 Tomans ($100 US)
* Three day temporary marriage – 150,000 Tomans ($150 US)
* Between 4 and 10 day temporary marriage – 300,000 Tomans ($300 US)

Our sisters who are virgins will receive a bonus of 100,000 Tomans ($100 US) for the removal of their hymen .

After the expiration of the two year contract, should our sisters still be under 35 years of age and should they be so inclined, they can be added to the waiting list of those who are seeking long-term temporary marriage. The employed sisters are obligated to donate 5% of their earnings to the Shrine of Imam Reza. We ask that all the sisters who are interested in applying, to furnish two full-length photographs (fully hijabed and properly veiled), their academic diplomas, proof of their virginity and a certificate of good physical and psychological health which they can obtain through the health and human services of the township of their residence. Please forward all compiled material and send to the below address by the 31st of the month of Ordibehesht, 1389 (May 21st, 2010).

Attention: For sisters who are below 14 years of age, a written consent from their fathers or male guardian is required.

Address: Mash’had, Shrine of Imam Reza, Shaheed Navab-Safavi, Kossar passage, Bureau of Temporary Marriages

or call Haji Mahmood Momtaz : 98/511/222-5790

For further information, please refer to the Quds’eh Razavi website.

Clearly, they don’t need Jeff Epstein to help them.

Sneers For Sarah But No Mocking Of Mosque

The IthinkI’msmart set has been sneering at Sarah Palin’s Twitter post of a few days ago regarding the proposed $100-million mega-story mega-mosque at the site of 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers. For the many who have forgotten, 2,605 innocent persons died there that day at the hands of those motivated by the teachings of Mohammed.

Sarah tweeted “Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate”

“Ho, ho, ho,” the IthinkI’msmarters said. “Doesn’t the bumpkin know that there is no such word as “refudiate?” Meanwhile not a peep on the in-your-face plan to build a structure dedicated to the expansion of the philosophy that inspired the murders on that sky-blue September Tuesday; a philosophy that treats rape as a crime — by the victim; a philosophy that demands horrible punishment for those with sexual weakness; a philosophy that exults in the destruction of archaeological treasures.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is defending the planned mosque saying stopping it would be “unAmerican”. You think he would be saying the same thing if it were Evangelicals that had bought a spot near the attacks to make a 13-story unapologetic point?

The IthinkI’msmarters are fools and bigots and it is imperative that we as nation quickly recognize this.

Gov. Palin corrected her grammar in a subsequent tweet. She has not, however, let up on the proposed mosque.

How’s this for a proposal, the city  takes over the proposed mosque site for use as a park? If Bloomberg needs more justification, he can pretend he runs a pharmaceutical company .

The New TSOP–Tax $ Giving Philly Its Own Gaza Strip

Tax-free charitable gifts along with federal grants and loans have been used to turn a section of South Philadelphia into an Islamic enclave.

Universal Companies — the charity established in 1993 by the artist formerly known as Kenny Gamble — has spent $1.6 billion to promote Islam much of it in the 800 block of South 15th Street, according to Paul Williams , Ph.D, of FamilySecurityMatters.org. The neighborhood now has a mosque and an Islamic charter school and tough-looking security guards on corners in kufis .

Gamble and Leon Huff are the founders of Philadelphia International Records and wrote some of the biggest hits of the 1970s including Me and Mrs. Jones, Love Train and TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia). Gamble converted to Islam in 1975 and took the name Luqman Abdul Haqq

Gamble now holds a high ranking position in the Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA) which focus on converting Blacks to Islam especially in prisons.

Gamble is also connected with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR ) but then so is Springfield’s own Congressman Joe Sestak (D-Pa7) and Joe wants to be senator.

In other Islamic news, Afshan Azad, the young lady who has been portraying Padma Patil in the Harry Potter movies, is now expressing regret for reporting the beating for which her father and brother have spent five weeks in an English jail. Dad and bro beat and threatened to kill Miss Azad for dating a Hindu boy. Miss Azad is from a British Muslim family.

Hey Kenny, tell all the folks in Egypt we don’t want their  garbage theology. Maybe Sestak should move to Cairo and run for senator over there.

Female Circumcision In USA

Female Circumcision In USA — The American Academy of Pediatrics has endorsed a form of female circumcision to appease our new Islamic population.

I see their point since what they are advocating accepting is a symbolic nick rather than full removal as done in their motherlands, and if it alleviates suffering that would otherwise inevitably happen, it’s probably the right thing to do.

The righter thing to do though is just keep those who think this act is somehow a good thing from coming here.

UN Picks Iran For Women’s Rights Panel

The United Nations announced April 28 that Iran has been named to a four-year seat on its  influential Commission on the Status of Women.

In related news, Iran has announced that it will begin jailing women with suntans.

Michelle Must Join President On Indonesian Trip

President Obama has reportedly delayed his trip to the western Pacific in a last-ditch attempt to socialize our generally very good health care system.

It was supposed to run from Thursday to March 21 and include the territory of Guam and the nations of Australia and Indonesia. Michelle and the kids were supposed to accompany him and now they are saying they are not.

Indonesia is an Islamic nation. There is a very widespread belief in this country that the President is a closet Muslim and that Michelle has not joined him on his visits to Islamic nations because it would violate the tenets of Islam.

It is true that Michelle has not joined the President on any trips to Islamic nations albeit she has not joined him on trips to several non-Islamic nations either.

For the sake of his leadership and for the need to show that while he may not be a uniter he doesn’t have to be a pointless divider, he must pack Michelle with him when he journeys to Jakarta.

Need For A Little Leadership

Need For A Little Leadership — An email is going around regarding how the First Lady’s failure to accompany President Obama on his trips to Islamic nations is an indication that our president is a secret Muslim.

It’s actually more than an email. Conservapedia, for instance, mentions the matter in a whole section in the President’s biography entitled “Obama is likely the first Muslim President”.

Michelle Obama visited eight countries in 2009.

  1. The United Kingdom
  2. Denmark
  3. France
  4. Germany
  5. The Czech Republic
  6. Italy
  7. Russia
  8. Ghana

It is true, none of these are Muslim lands. On the other hand, however, Michelle did not participate in the President’s trips to China, Japan or Mexico. Frankly, I think it’s more of an indication that Michelle is a diva, than Barack is a Muslim.

Still, Obama ought to recognize that millions of his constituents believe these stories and he ought show a little leadership and haul Michelle with him the next time he visits Arabia or Turkey.

Of course, he should have also waived any privacy rights to birth or college records when the Birther movement started, and he has yet to do so.

Saudis Have Given Millions To Clinton Foundation Since ’97

Saudis Have Given Millions To Clinton Foundation Since ’97 — Something you probably haven’t seen if you get your news from the dinosaurs is that Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation since 1997. The Foundation  is run by the husband of our Secretary of State.

The group “Friends of Saudi Arabia” has kicked in another $1 million to $5 million.

It’s not as though the old media doesn’t have the room. The Delaware County Daily Times could easily shortened its love notes to Congressman Joe Sestak.  All they really need is a paragraph.

Here:

Violets are blue,
I’m sure you know,
Roses are red,
And so is Joe

Then they could have put in some real news.

Anti-Mullah Protests Draw Tens of Thousands

Not sure you’ll be seeing this on the evening news (or in tomorrow’s Inquirer) but protests have broken out today across Iran against the ruling mullahs. They reportedly involve tens of thousands of people. Anti-Mullah Protests Draw Tens of Thousands

Twitter feeds show the crowd is unbowed despite beatings, tear gas and gunfire.

“Our Nation is Awake it Despises Dictatorship” says GreenRebelion. Green in this case is the color of the revolution and has nothing to do with environmentalism.

I don’t know about other cities but Tehran is Green today,” said Manic77, who also noted “Students chanted anti Coup until midnight in Tehran Uni dormitories”

The patriotic freedom-lovers are also placing videos on YouTube for the world to see and the dinosaur propagandists to ignore.
