Amid Furor on Islamic Center, Pleas for Orthodox Church Nearby
By PAUL VITELLO
Published: August 23, 2010

The furor over plans to build an Islamic center two blocks from ground zero had already been joined by several politicians. On Monday, two politicians were joined in turn by officials of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, who sought to use the controversy to focus attention on their long-stymied effort to rebuild a church destroyed on 9/11 at the foot of the World Trade Center.

At a news conference near the trade center site, church officials appeared with former Gov. George E. Pataki and a Greek-American Congressional candidate from Long Island — both opponents of the Islamic center — to make their case: Government officials who appear to be clearing the way for the center, which includes a mosque, are blocking the reconstruction of St. Nicholas Church, the only house of worship destroyed in the terrorist attacks.

making you nutso.

Hey I got an idea..why don't we fill that gaping hole with all those asses you guys are laughing off?!!!

Why is there still a gaping hole? It's been 9 years now and I thought there was a pledge and plan to rebuild at the site. After all this time you'd think there would at least be something started there.

Isn't it high time we moved forward?

It is a political hit job meant to play to people's emotions and is part of a larger agenda. There are over 100 mosques in New York!

They have more right to rebuild than a foreign country who uses mosques to mark conquered territory, regardless if they are johnny come lately Americans trying to dig in.

All foreign countries run by Islam. Mr. Greg Canada.

They would rather have a gaping hole to call "hallowed ground" than have people rebuild their lives.

Ground Zero mosque imam offers prayer space for Jews and Christians

The imam planning to build a mosque near the Ground Zero site of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York has said he will include "separate prayer spaces" for Christians and Jews in his Islamic centre.

Iman Feisal Abdul Rauf also promised to "clearly identify" the financial backers of his Cordoba House centre, which is two blocks from the site of the al-Qaeda attacks, and to build a memorial to the victims.

Whatever happened to "love thy neighbor"?

The Cordova imam of NY is a lying bastard.

There is a time for the sword.

We are also to love our enemies and those who persecute us..even though we may pull the trigger to stop their evil bloodshed on mankind. There is a time for the sword.
Paul

If people with your attitude were running our country we'd end up entangled in World War III fighting against over a billion Islamic people.

Come quickly please Lord Jesus....

Religious controlled government bent on taking over the earth. That is Islam.

Christianity has ben conspiring to take over the world for the last 2000 years while Islam has only existed for the last 1300 years. IMO Christian extremists are every bit as dangerous to the US as Islamic extremists, if not more so.

Christian extremists are trying to take over our government right now, largely under the guise of the Tea Party.

Islam is a religion. The governments using Islam as their basis of law are theocracies. Islam exists in countries that are not theocracies, just as Christianity does. You guys really do need a good dictionary and a course in basic poly-sci. LOL

BTW - the followers of Islam are Muslims, not Islamists.

Ghoti you're as crazy as Ghandi was. Claiming to know Jesus Christ and denying him at the same time.


John:8:23: And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.


John:18:36: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

isn't a Islamist:
an orthodox Muslim

one who is knowledgeable in Islamic studies

A person who espouses Islamic fundamentalist beliefs; A Muslim, particularly an orthodox Muslim; A person who specializes in Islamic studies; Motivated by Islamic beliefs with Islamism is a set of ideologies holding that Islam is not only a religion but also a political system; that modern Muslims must return to their roots of their religion, and unite politically.

Edited to say maybe a small group of specific doctrine think christiasns should run the government, but that has only come about in the last 50 or so years.

So the Islamic Center they are in the process of building here in Murfreesboro ....

Those who oppose it are taking the County Commission to court to try and get a stop order on the construction.

According to the Sunday paper their main argument is Islam is not a religion.

The majority of the article discussed how it is unconstitutional for our government to decided what is a religion and what is not. The IRS does it for tax purposes and Islam, of course, meets all the IRS requirements.

The kicker is that the current Mosque is across the street from the university and has been there for 20 years or so. Most folks didn't even know it was there. Fear and hate - just what Jesus had in mind.

Here is today's article ... http://www.dnj.com/article/20100928/NEWS01/9280319/Mosque-hearing-focused-on-Shariah

IMO he died like every other man and his claim to return was a hollow one that has now become very old and stale.

Think about what you've said here.

Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Of course, Merry, and I don't mean to undermine anybody's faith. Ronnie is attacking my beliefs

I don't think you undermined anybody's faith! The opposite is true. I'm so dense lately I thought you were asking for info.

Ronnie attacks everybody's beliefs if they are different from his own narrow straight line version. Rod McKuen said straight lines are good for nothing more than proving you are sober. LOL

Ronnie is attacking my beliefs and I'm just trying to show that there is actual scriptural support for them.

They walked by Jesus Christ their only hope at salvation with barely a glance.

Actually Jesus only came to save those given to Him by the Father.

You'd never attack anyone's beliiefs would ya'? Nope not you you aren't that type of person.

The ones who are collected in the sieve of Gods word will be saved because they will hear the word and yield to its truth. Those are the ones God gives Jesus to be saved,brought to Him by the Holy Spirit.

I have no idea what God will intend.

Why do you get to pick and choose what is "actual scripture" and what is not "actual scripture"?


Actually I think that should be left to the believers to whom the "actual scriptures" have been revealed.
