In comment #1, Post blogger Teledog One points to the awkward situation facing News Corp., all because its second largest shareholder funds "radical madrassas all over the world."
"Those unafraid to be called 'Islamophobes' for criticizing the Ground Zero mosque now called Park51 have a new weapon: a translation of Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf by a man who claims to be a former Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorist," blogs the Con Man. "If the translation holds up to linguistic scrutiny, then Imam Rauf’s claims for a mosque near Ground Zero will be seen as nothing more than religious sleight-of-hand, a form of Shariah subterfuge.... Those who see the Park51 mosque formerly known as 'Cordoba' now have evidence that the acclaimed moderate Imam Rauf wants to see Shariah law take hold in the United States...."
Post blogger Teledog One says suspicions about Iman Rauf, he of the Ground Zero mosque, are greatly exaggerated.

As host of “the last of the liberal talk shows” and prognosticator without portfolio, I have been literally gobsmacked by the liberal reaction to the Ground Zero mosque now known so innocuously as Park51—hardly a mosque at all to hear tell from forces on the Left. Liberals to a man, woman, and child have decided that the argument against such a place of worship is “embarrassing” (Chris Hayes over and over again on the Rachel Maddow show). They say nay-sayers are Islamaphobes or worse—as if anything could be worse than being afraid of a religion that stones women.

Where have you gone Jerry Falwell?
In the mists of the Tea Party nonsense, it is perilously easy to miss the fact that the Kool-Aid of the Evangelical Right has grown lukewarm, tepid, and downright stanky.
Exhibit A would have to be Ted Haggard, once the king of all Evangelicals, now neutered by his own pay-for-play homosexuality and fall from grace. Making a comeback in Colorado Springs, Haggard now bespeaks love and the Bible, rather than bile and the ballot box. There’s nothing quite so winning as a sinning preacher.

If there is a more criminal international organization than the global Catholic Church, please let me know. I can’t imagine what it could be.

The arrival of Grace Church at 1776 Emma Road in Basalt--1776 is not a misprint--roiled the community in Emma as they contemplate a megachurch, albeit a teensy one, in their midst. Dead center in the Roaring Fork Valley, the more liberal members of the town were universally concerned at the prospect of hundreds of Evangelicals worshipping in their midst.
The founders of Grace Church were nothing if not resilient, and managed to beat back all challenges. The church, now visible from Highway 82, has seemed on the verge of completion for months, even though building that has yet to sport the telltale sign of the Cross. Given the inevitability of yet another Christian Church in the valley, concerned locals simply ran out of protests. A church, after all, is far more benign than a McDonald's, or so the story goes.
And that was that, from my perspective, was that--until the wife espied the cheerful green banner in front of the Eagle County municipal building Sunday afternoon, with the words: "Grace Church Gathers Here," with the times for Sunday worship.

I believe I am part of the liberal center. Those of us here, do not care one iota about whether we are "white" "black" Native American or Asian. We don't care if we pray to "God" via the Torah, various permutations of the Bible, or Koran. If we sing chants to lord Krishna or Buddha, meditate in Taoism or do a Druid dance, or have no God, that is fine too. Speaking other languages gives us an opportunity to learn nuances of language, different from our own whatever that might be where ever that might be. We are accepting, even embracing and we are all able to get along with each other perfectly well.

Black Harvard Professor Gates’ arrest this past week focuses on a greater crisis within America. Racial and ethnic incompatibility! While the United States pretends to be a happy bouquet of racial equality and ethnic calm—the harsh reality remains that this nation remains forever divided along racial lines. Worse, with massive immigration of millions from incompatible races and religions—we find ourselves becoming a nation of strangers cobbled together by police hegemony.

Part I: Islam Conquest of Europe and Beyond
By Frosty Wooldridge
Multi-culturalism scorched the streets of Paris two years ago ! Multi-culturalism burns and kills in France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Britain. Recent violence proves that disparate cultures cannot exist together. Do Americans understand what is happening or are we too stupid to read the writing on the wall?
Stick around because Americans roll over and sleep as the Muslim and Mexican invasion accelerates in the United States. But when you awake, our country suffers exactly the same fate as France, Britain, Germany, Holland and Belgium. It’s only a matter of time.

I attended Mr. Pipes' talk on Thursday. The mood was set by the police in the lobby and one standing guard in the auditoriun during the presentation. His talk focused on Muslims taking over the world and subjecting all of us to Shria law. This is an unlikely outcome. Not all Muslim activists have the above goal. According to wifes of Al Qaeda fighters, in Afganistan, they are fighting against the West's taking Muslim land and killing Muslims and supporting those (Israel) who do.

An odd thing happened to the United States in the 21st century as it tripped into quicksand over its guilt-ridden past of discrimination toward minorities such as Native Americans, Asians, Blacks and Latinos. What happened?
After all, the fact remains that white settlers trespassed, ravaged, and slaughtered 522 Indian tribes—their languages, cultures and ways of life. Anyone reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee or The Sand Creek Massacre cannot help but cry at the brutality committed against the aborigines of North America in the 1800s.
