You seem to be determined to hang a scarlet letter on that Mosque, for some reason.

Because the old mosque is a Sufi Muslim mosque. They are a peaceful sect--sometimes known as "Whirling Dervishes," they are more mystical in their outlook and practice. The radical Saudi Wahabis despise them and typically ignore their existence...hence the desire to build another mosque.

I once danced with the Sufi's, one night, in full abandon. Something never to be forgotten and only done when you're very young.
Once you really let yourself go, you feel like you're flying. It's a definite drug free high.

And they had taught me before not to do it.
Is there another case where a black man was killed for whistling at a white woman?

Sooo, lemme be sure I have this correct.

The "lovers" hate the haters because the haters hate the fact that the muslims try to kill anyone who draws their stupid mascot dude. And the haters hate the fact that the lovers hate the fact that the haters are hating on the muslims. So they are all standing in the street hating and yelling at each other, while the police, who probably hate having to stand out there in the 110 degree heat keeping the lovers and haters from hating on each other. Meanwhile the muslims just want go to the church and do whatever it is that muslims do inside an muslim church. And the restaurant and bar lost a whole bunch of money.

And in other news ISIS whacked the heads off several hundred non-muslims and threw three gay guys off high rise buildings in Iraq today.

Muslims just need to keep their idiotic superstitions and practices in the hell hole countries that superstition has created for them. If they want to worship a Pervert Prophet, fine with me but if we want to make fun of are draw a cartoon of that pervert that liked young 9 year old girls, don't freak out or freak out in your hell holes, not here.

So, why do we allow the extremists of one religion to be "a crowded theater" ?

Why should we throw up our hands and take a "don't poke the bear" attitude when we don't do it for anyone else?

What makes Islam so special that there are those on the left who are willing to give it an exemption from being subject to parody?

They have the right to do this no doubt, but any cultured American should be appalled by this behavior.

So, what "race" are Muslims?

Why is it ok to parody or mock other religions but not Islam?

Why can I publicly draw and disply a drawing of Jesus or Vishnu without fear of being shot or blown up but Mohammed gets a pass?

The Mexican Mafia is a prison gang.
