      In a word: DUH!

      I could almost be a Conservative, but I can't be bothered to make the effort necessary to appear quite that stupid.

        Take heart you appear stupid without even trying. And hateful , I might add.

      Yep. It was a "You had better let us do what we want or we'll kill you" statement.

        You poor guy! I just wonder how you ever muster up the courage to ever leave home, what with all the Brown Skinned Foreigners threatening to kill you and your way of life.

          His words. "If we don't build it get ready for the next attack" I know that would make you happy either way.

            As I mentioned, because if we move, that means the radicals have shaped the discourse. The radicals will shape the discourse on both sides. And those of us who are moderates on both sides -- you see Soledad, the battle front is not between Muslims and non-Muslims. The real battle front is between moderates on all sides of all the faith traditions and the radicals on all sides. The radicals actually feed off each other. And in some kind of existential way, need each other. And the more that the radicals are able to control the discourse on one side, it strengthens the radicals on the other side and vice versa. We have to turn this around.


            Actually, dumbass, this is what he said. He was correct and it had nothing to do with him threatening anyone. He was merely stating fact.

              I thought this was a great statement by Rauf.

                And somewhat prescient, evidently. Just heard that Terry Jones (not a Python) is flying his circus to New York to discuss with Rauf moving the GroundZeroVictoryMosque.

                So apparently, radical christian litero-terrorism IS effective in the U.S. Nice message. I'm embarrassed.

          I don't think he was born that way; but I don't think he has to work very hard to achieve his desired effect.

              Seahawk was scheduled to be a test tube baby but they used and old unwashed mustard jar instead. So be kind to him, it isn't his or his moms' fault. Besides, he like Seannie.

          I know that I personally was born ignorant, and I am pretty sure that most people were - the difference I see is that I have worked hard to not REMAIN ignorant.

      I'm impressed that someone from ClusterFox could even recognize a real statement of fact.

      This is Fox's way of absolving themselves of responsibility for claiming it was a threat. Wallace says it isn't, so that when Beck, O'Reilly, and Hannity all say it IS a threat, Fox can deny deny deny.

      Here's a thought. How many times have you had a Muslim come to your door and ask you if you believed in Allah and would you like a qu'ran to get up to speed?? Ok, now, how many "christians" have come to your door and asked you if you believe in Jesus and here's a book to save you? Seems to me Muslims just keep to themselves and don't 'recruit' the way christians do. Why can't we just leave these people alone and allow them to worship how they wish?

        "Seems to me Muslims just keep to themselves and don't 'recruit' the way christians do. "

        Seems to me that Christians don't decide to fly planes into buildings to kill innocent people or send their children out to murder for them. Or stone people to death in the streets, or deny women basic human rights. Admirable traits indeed, but at least they don't peacefully bother enlightened progressive Christian bashers like you.

        You tip your bigoted hand as soon as you show respect to Muslims by capitalizing their name and not doing so for Christians.

        Here's a thought, this country would be better off without bigoted and hateful people like you and your ilk, who grasp every opportunity to bash their fellow Americans .

        Here is another thought, in about 2 months America will begin the process of throwing out the garbage. Enjoy your reign while you can, it will be ending soon. And we will complete the process by getting rid of our first anti-American president in 2012.
