Whores of the Caliphate!

Charles, keep a record of what you'd like covered at the convention -- such as this event. Who knows? Maybe it's possible.

And how is this different from prior Democratic Conventions?

Drat! It says,

public interfaith service of Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists will help kick off the event at 2 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Wells Fargo Theater inside the Colorado Convention Center.

Too early.

I don't think we should be surprised to see friends of hamas there- after all, hamas supports obama's candidacy.

re: #1 MandyManners

Whores of the Caliphate!

Of the Gramscian ilk, no doubt?

Not much to comment about here!

So I comment anyway (:

Any Islamics groups in this country who are not unindicted co-conspirators?

I ask because:

"We in America know the benevolence that is at the heart of Islam. We've seen it in many ways.".

re: #5 Sharmuta

That will definitely be telling.. this is the only "advertised" person, but will there be other terrorist supporters in attendance?

This should surprise no one. The Democrats rolled over long ago...

At last year's winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee, Husham Al-Husainy, Imam of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center, a Shi'ite mosque in Dearborn, Michigan, offered the invocation.

As the great Robert Spencer said, "Many people in today’s Democratic party have contempt for religion, but they still have time for prayer."

Even the obviously biased Time poll shows McCain with a huge lead in the following areas:

Who would best handle the situation in Iraq (51% vs Obama at 36%)
Who would best protect the U.S. against terrorism (56% vs Obama 29%)

BTW: why do I think the Time poll is biased? This question:

"Would best be able to restore America's image in the world?"

Guess who is shutting down Hamas "charities"?

re: #13 Opilio

Does anyone notice, before 9/11 you couldn't have paid the dems and lefties to stand next to an islamist of any stripe, under any circumstance.

Don't worry. If you ask a Democrat, he'll assure you that "radical Christians" kill just as many people, if not more, than so called "radical Islamists," who are really just reacting to the never ending oppression of the Palestinians. And poverty. Poverty causes killing too. Just ask all all the college educated hijackers on 9/11.

What do you expect? Osama bin Laden is busy, or they'd book him. They're becoming more and more open about their hatred of the United States, but the Republicans don't have the balls to call them traitors and enemies.

The Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations is the country’s oldest center for such study.

The Macdonald Center challenges scholars, students, the media and the general public to move beyond stereotypes and develop an accurate awareness and appreciation of Islamic religion, law and culture.

It is committed to the premise that through intensive study and academically guided dialogue, mutual respect and cooperation between Muslims and Christians can and must develop.

I like this answer she gave in a CNN chat room in October of 2001..

CHAT PARTICIPANT: Does the Taliban place blame upon women for the weakness of men in their society? Is that why they place such restriction upon them?

MATTSON: The Taliban place restrictions on everyone in their society, men and women. They've extended their authority over individuals far beyond traditional government in Afghanistan. In their minds, they are protecting women from other men by placing these restrictions on them.

A full-blown Taliban apologist. Nice.

Those wacky, wacky dems.

They've never met a terrorist they didn't like. I guess I'm not so, uh, stupid.

Well, thats a bullshit statement if I have ever heard one. Islam does not tolerate Christianity, ergo Sauds recently kicking all Christians out the country, and a history of persecution and slaughter since mo first took up the scitimar.

The Axis of Good:
Muslims Building Alliances with Other Communities of Faith

By Ingrid Mattson, Ph.D.
The St. Lawrence River is 1,900 miles long. Its wide mouth empties its flow into the Atlantic Ocean where buoyant whales and majestic icebergs drift throughout the summer months. The river begins more modestly where the northern and southern shores of Lake Ontario curve in towards each other, channeling the cold waters of the Great Lakes into the riverbed. We were born on the Canadian side of the river, but the island on which we lived was closer to New York State. This area is now called the “Thousand Islands,” but before there was a Canada, and before there was an America, the indigenous people called it “The Garden of the Great Spirit.” My brothers and sisters and I grew up in jannah.

Well, it really was beautiful. But we were, after all, children of Adam. And as the angels feared, we would make a mess of many things. To begin with, there was the question of those indigenous people. As children, we spent long July afternoons on the edge of the forest digging for their arrowheads, flints and pottery shards. But where had the people gone? No one thought much to talk about our own Cain and Abel story.

Then there was the question of what we did to the river itself. Flowing over deep layers of limestone, refreshed with generous rain and snow every year, the river seemed impervious to anything we might throw its way. And we did throw many things its way. In fact, lacking refuse collection services on the island, it seemed easiest to let the current “take it away.” I don’t know where all our tin cans and plastic wrappers ended up, but we deliberately sunk the old car nearby in the bay to create a good fishing hole. Little wonder that our children now catch only a few small perch and a rare undersized bass in a day.

re: #102 6pat6

16. And there have been repeated whispers that the Chinese government lied about the ages of some of the gymnasts on their passports. Bela Karolyi knows a thing or two about totalitarian regimes doing stuff like that when he was with the Romanian team during the Cold War. He thinks the Chinese are still doing that kind of thing.

Those Chinese girls are just that - girls.

However, his take is that they should abolish the age requirements since if the girl can do what they can do at age 11 and compete in the Olympics, more power to them. I'm not so sure, as the age requirements are there as much to protect them from injury and exploitation as they are for any thing else.

re: #100 Cognito

There is a lot of scandal about the age of the Chinese gymnasts. Some of the gymnasts who were 12 just a year or two ago suddenly became 16 for the Olympics. And another thing, the Chinese have denied visas for the alternate gymnasts on the team so if we have an injury tough beans.

re: #107 lawhawk

Age requirements should STAY!

And for exactly the reasons you describe... unfair exploitation and injury to body and mind...

It took humankind more than 5,000 years of recorded history to set up some kind of protection for (some) children (some of the time), we do NOT need to reverse that, suddenly convinced that 11 and 12-year-olds somehow miraculously have the experience and (minimum) wisdom of 15-year-olds...

Of course not. But in the case of Islam and Christianity in particular, Islam scoffs at everything about Jesus and then says, oh but we have great respect for him.

Its like you served a guest a dish. They taste it and spit it back out on the plate and gag. And then tell you how good it tasted and ask for the recipe.

To me it all boils down to this. Jesus said to love your enemy. Islam says to kill them. Good luck with the interfaith dialog.

I attended my son's college graduation from a well known "Jewish" college, Brandeis. At the opening ceremony, there was a benediction offered. I assumed it would be given by a rabbi. After all, we had sent him to a Jewish university. No -- a Muslim imam complete with head turban and robes walked up on the stage and started to say a prayer. I walked out, as did about a half dozen others. The other five thousand attendees just sat there dutifully. I don't know what he said, and I don't care. I looked back over the 21 years in which I tried so hard to be a good mother and make the right choices, to walk the middle road, as one of our most revered sages counseled Jews, and not be too extreme in one direction or another. The fruits of my labor have resulted in a son who sees nothing wrong with a Muslim imam "praying" at a Jewish event.

Progress. It looks like the wave of the future.

Here's a kicky description of its use in LAW:
"For Derrida, any hierarchical statements about a set of ideas A and B is an invitation for a deconstructive reversal--to show that the property we ascribe to A is true of B and the property we ascribe to B is true of A. Our deconstruction will show that A's privileged status is an illusion, for A depends upon B as much as B depends upon A. We will discover, then, that B stands in relation to A much like we thought A stood in relation to B. Indeed, it is possible to find in the very reasons that A is privileged over B the reasons that B is privileged over A. Having reversed the hierarchy, we are able to see things about both A and B that we had never noticed before..."

This bullshi* is common among "postmodern practitioners," as they like to be called. And, of course, postmodern foundations are derived from Heidegger, a member of the Nazi party until the day he died -- he refused to recant after repeated petitions from colleagues, over the years (he died in 1976). ...I'm still dazzled the Dems have gone this far over the edge, though. It's one thing to blab this crap in Bill Ayers' education classes. The complete take over of the Democratic party by a "trendy," postmodern, anti-democratic, anti-American, Third-Worldist, not-very-"crypto"-fascist fringe is a little more than I can fully grok -- even now. This IS sedition, fellow Lizards. Someone put acid in their Spam, for sure. But, they should have come DOWN by now! sheesh...

I can just picture it now
Crazy Islamist lady: "Jizya! Come on everyone, say it: Jiz-ya!"
The crowd: "Chan-ge!"
Crazy Islamist lady: "Alhamduillah, this will take forever!"

Drat! It says,

Too early.

What, no Wiccans or tree hugging worshipers of Gaia? Will they have snake handlers?

With the Reverend Leah D. Daughtry - Chief Executive Officer of the 2008 Democratic National Convention Committee AND Chief of Staff at the DNC - running things, she can make a "Radical Islamist" look like a butter-cup.

Reverend Leah D. Daughtry is a Black Liberation Theologist, preaching the hateful and racist doctrine of Black Liberation Theology from her Pulpit...below which usually hangs a banner promoting Reparations, that reads - “They Owe Us.”

Judging by Obama’s own words, this “They” probably means “white” Middle America:

"And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Islam says Jesus was not divine, Jesus was not crucified, Jesus wasn't raised from the dead. In other words, the Gospels are a big fat lie.

I quess that makes Islam an insanity contructed from a lie based on ancient fables.

Global Warming?

Al Gore is being sought for coment.

Muhammad thought that extreme heat and fever were the result of the hell fires being stoked and this theory may be confirmed at the Dhimmicrat convention as an explanation for global warming.

Interfaith services = a confused bunch of people insecure in their own beliefs.
