It is the moderates that are always offended by our way of life. It is the moderates that rioted over the cartoons. It is the moderates that ae always calling for censorship. It is the moderates that expect appeasment to accomadate them. It is this appeasment that takes away from our society as it has been established.Turquoise wrote:

A few years ago they built a Mosque 6 blocks away from my home (at that time I lived in another place). First, I was like "wtf? How come they build a Mosque here, in a Catholic country?" Then, I never paid attention to it anymore. In fact, I never saw anyone using the 4 blocks building.
Anyway, how would you feel if they built one in your neighborhood?
I admit, my opinion contradicts a persons constitutional right to freedom of religion, but I feel the spirit of this assumes your freedom of religion does not hinder another persons freedoms, rights or privileges. Islam clearly does this.
yeah u have a point there,RECONDO67 wrote:
the only thing I can complaint. it's that Muslims love to fucking practice their religion around the world but they don't tolerate other religions.
Those aren't moderates -- those are conservatives and extremists. The moderates might have been offended by the cartoons, but a moderate does not react violently to a drawing. That kind of action nullifies any sense of moderation.lowing wrote:

Would never happen where I live. . . . Too many Catholics would go apeshit!
First of all I live in one of the most expensive areas in the country (Menlo Park, CA) so building that would be a huge cost. Not only that there arent very many Muslims where I live. Lastly, the city of Menlo Park wouldnt put up with a terrorist shrine in our Christian community!!
Fuck Mosques and Fuck Islam! Mohammed is a false prophet and the doctrine he teaches is of hate and subjugation! We dont need that bullshit here on the Peninsula!
Ridiculous. They have just as much of a right to build a muslim school as catholics have a right to build a catholic school.Spark wrote:

I already told you why I would. Your reasoning that a moderate is a moderate until he gets pissed off then he is an extremist does not wash with me. The intolerance and violence is at the core of what Islam is and I would rather they practice it back in the region they already destroyed and leave western society alone.Turquoise wrote:

I don't think you quite understand that the average Muslim isn't that different from the average Christian. It's just the extremists and conservatives that typically make the news. As long as a mosque isn't preaching hate, I don't have a problem with it, and I don't understand why you would.
Seriously lowing you have some reading comprehension problems. He didn't say that a moderate is a moderate until he gets pissed. He drew the distinction at the action one takes.lowing wrote:

ya missed my point. I am saying that the Muslims that rioted over those cartoons were not considered extremists. Until that is, they bared the true meaning of their religion by engaging in the very violence that Islam endorses.Masques wrote:

Extremists tend to use violence to accomplish their goals. Moderates don't.
You don't have to search far to find muslim groups denouncing hateful imams or speaking out on violence. You won't find them on TV much because peaceable individuals trying to facilitate dialog don't rouse the rabble. Get a few unshaven goons screaming "Durka Durka, Mohammad, Jihad!" and you boost the ratings and the bottom line a little.
