Used to make a point of dining out at a vaguely Islamic restaurant every 9-11. Me and a like-minded friend. We felt the Moslems were badly done by. Sometimes we ate at Paki or Afghan but we preferred Ethopian…which sort-of qualifies. That was a few years ago. We were lone voices in the wilderness.
Now I’ve done a 180. I am sickantard of whiny Moslems asking to be put on the same footing with Christianity in the West. I mean, we can barely stomach the outrage of ‘Judaeo-Christian whatever’ as it is. The West is not Moslem; its culture is not Moslem; its art is not Moslem (Moslems only have abstract, non-representational, non-three-dimensional drawing), its languages are not Moslem.
I continue to be a friend to Islamic peoples, but this mosque-cum-community-center is nothing but a sick provocation. Baah.
