The "letting Japanese fly planes over Pearl Harbor" comparison is PERFECT.

After all, it was the Japanese government and military - which is the whole country of Japan not a tiny minority of extremists - that attacked us yet we've got no problem with planes from Japan doing 'victory fly overs' at Pearl Harbor, landing near the destruction and having actual Japanese citizens stomping all over the Pearl Harbor memorial taking pictures of the damage they caused.. 'victory pictures', if you will.

I have an idea of how to get the Mosque/Community Center controversy to die down:
Build it, use it, and in 2 years it will be a non-issue.

funny how a mosque falls on a the character practicing free speech. great!

Today on CNN (9/8)

http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/07/new.york.islamic.center.islamophobia/in...

(sic) "To quote the attorney general, he called the Gainesville planned burning of Qurans 'idiotic and dangerous,'" said Farhana Khera, president of Muslim Advocates, soon after meeting with Holder.

Is it dangerous because followers of Islam support freedom of expression even when they do not like the message?

(sic) "While it may not be a violation of the law -- it may be an act of free speech -- it certainly violates our sense of decency," she added about the Florida event.

Awwww, did your feelings get hurt? Is that a justification for murder and violent intimidation?

(sic) "I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths ... as well as secular U.S. leaders and opinion makers," she said.

Did you get that? The message is disrespect. The message was not "we kill you", that is the feared response!
Why is it so very easy to provoke a murderous response from Muslims? Where source does this maddness come from? Do these people have no self-control at all?

(sic) But it is "very important that America wakes up," he argued. Radical Islam "must be shown a certain amount of force (and) determination."

Now there is a man with courage and a cause. He may be a little off his rocker, but his heart and his balls are in the right place.
GO GO Mr. Dan, you are the man! Have no fear, these people can kill you but they cannot defeat you.

Mark, your ability to turn out incredibly entertaining and biting material is amazing. Judging by the flames, the Beck/Palin zombies are getting their panties in a terrible bunch! Keep up the good work, the thinking people are really loving it!!

I just want to thank the more or less moraless majority, and all you nutbars on the right of, but totaly wrong on most issues. I thank (fill in your choice of deity here)for allowing me to live north of the 49th. It lets me have endless hours laughing at you morons,and I stand in awe of how ignorant one group of people can be while safe in a country free of you people on mass. By the way the world laughs with me. Please continue in your pursuits, for as long as you display all the intollerance, and brainwashed bleeting of your leaders, ie:Beck, Limbagh, O Rielly and Fox News,which is partialy owned by the same people funding the New Islamic center in N.Y. you will retain the distain and revultion of the civilized world, as well as any one with a shred of I.Q. in your own toilet of a society.

God-O-Matic?? Really?

You should be ashamed of yourself and also of the liberals in this country who'd like nothing more than to replace the almighty with themselves.
Why not utilize your talent to identify and expose all Governmental misguided ideology. In my humble opinion you could easily double or triple your quips with just Barney Frank alone.

Wow.. what a contrived piece of oversimplified slop full of mischaracterizations and strained exaggerations in order to weakly argue a position. It just proves and illustrates how pathetic the position of those who argue there's nothing sinister or wrong with building a 'victory mosque' near ground zero and how uninformed and ignorant they are about sharia law.

How many of you have actually taken the time to read the Qur’an and see what it says? You might be surprised at what you find. I wish it weren’t so, but I find it hard to believe that Islam in its purity is a peaceful and tolerant religion.

2:89-”Therefore, the curse of Allah is upon the unbelievers!”

2:97-”Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, to Gabriel and Michael, lo! Allah is an enemy of the unbelievers.”

2:191-”Kill them (unbelievers) wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you, for persecution is worse than slaughter…. Such is the reward of those who reject faith.”

2:193-”Fight against them (unbelievers) until there is no dissension, and the religion is for Allah.”
Fight until no other religion exists but Islam.

2:218-”But those who believe and those who migrate and struggle in the way of Allah, those, have hope of the mercy of Allah.”
Those who fight for Allah may have hope of forgiveness.

3:10-”Those who disbelieve, neither their riches nor their children shall save them from Allah. They shall become the fuel of the fire.”

3:19-”The only true faith in God’s sight is Islam. Those to whom the book was given disagreed among themselves only after knowledge had been given to them, being insolent among themselves. He who disbelieves the verses of Allah indeed Allah is swift in reckoning.”

3:28-”The believers should not take the unbelievers as friends or helpers in preference to the believers. He who does this does not belong to Allah in anything, unless you have a fear of them.”

3:110-”You are the best nation ever to be brought forth for people. You order honor and forbid dishonor, and you believe in Allah. Had the people of the book believed, it would have surely been better for them. Some of them are believers, but most of them are evildoers.”
Most Jews and Christians are wrongdoers.

3:151-”We will throw terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.”

4:76-”And those who believe fight in the way of Allah, but those who disbelieve fight in cause of evil. therefore, fight against those guided by Satan.”

4:89-”"Seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and in any case take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”

4:95-”Those of the believers who sit still…are not on an equality with those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah hath conferred on those who strive with their wealth and lives a rank above te sedentary. Unto each Allah hath promised good, but He hath bestowed on those who strive a great reward above the sedentary.”
Muslims who fight in jihad are better than those who don’t.

4:101-”"For the unbelievers are to you open enemies.”

Don't forget mark, that there are peopel protesting mosques ALL OVER america like in Tennessee. Just search it up.

It was an attack on us by all Muslims. The extremists only act out what the rest of them are praying and working to achieve.
This cartoon reveals a Willful ignorance of the political element of Islam on your part Mark.
There is no such thing as seperation of church and state to Muslims.
Sharia law is diametrically opposed to our cultural values.
If they could have it all their way the world would be like Saudi Arabia and Iran. In thoes places people like you and me are executed for expressing ideas that the imams do not like.

I am against the political agenda of Islam to take over our society - and if you want to stay free you had better wise up to what they are up to.

More propaganda.

Does this mean that infidels can go into the mosques and use the swimmming pool. Women are not allowed to pray with the men. So bull---- on this cartoon. Its not telling the truth. What a slant and what bias.

I will gladly support a mosque on or near ground zero when Churches, synagogues buddhist and hindu temples ETC can be built in Mecca and other Muslim countries without fear of persecution.

Bin Laden must be rubbing his hands with glee at all the opposition to the mosque near Ground Zero. It would allow him to claim that America hates all muslims.

Instead the mosque should be welcomed, as a visible afirmation of the First Amendment of the Constitution which guarantees freedom of religion for all. That's what the extremists fear - equality and freedom for all, whatever your race, religion or creed.

Jesus must be proud that his followers learned his message of love for all was learned so well!
