The Sacred Hallowed Ground of Temecula
The big right wing talking point against the proposed community center near Ground Zero in Manhattan (I refuse to call it a “Ground Zero Mega-Mosque!”) is that Ground Zero is sacred. Hallowed ground. It’s a deadly offense to think of a mosque on that sacred, hallowed ground, a “stab in the heart” as Sarah Palin so eloquently put it.
Apparently Temecula, California is also sacred ground. Temecula mosque proposal targeted in pending protest.
The Temecula Teabagging Society has advised members who plan to attend their protest against the Ground 3,728 Mega-Mosque to bring their dogs — because “Muslims hate dogs.”
But don’t forget the pooper scooper, folks; wouldn’t want to offend anyone.
An e-mail alert sent to area newspapers last week announced that a one-hour “singing – praying – patriotic rally” will begin at 12:30 p.m. July 30 at the Islamic Center’s existing facility. The advisory – sent by a leader of a conservative coalition that has been active with Republican and Tea Party functions – recommended participants “bring your Bibles, flags, signs, dogs and singing voices.”
“We will not be submissive,” the notice proclaimed. “Our voices are going to be heard!” The alert went on to question what its authors described as Islamic beliefs. It suggested that participants sing during the rally because Muslim “women are forbidden to sing.” It suggested that rally participants bring dogs because Muslims “hate dogs.”
The advisory asked rally participants to “please bring a pooper scooper” if they are accompanied by a canine companion. The advisory said residents of an unspecified Tennessee community were able to halt the construction of a mosque in that state.
