Ya gotta love Bryan Fischer. Actually, not. When he isn’t calling for Muslims to be banned from the armed forces, or saying the reason Hitler was so evil was because he was gay, he’s demanding a complete ban on mosques in America.

cultural amenities including exhibitions
education programs
a library and art studios
childcare services
a mosque, intended to be run separately from Park51 but open to and accessible to all members, visitors and our New York community

Its obvious that education programs is a code phrase for terrorist training. All real education is conducted at home using only one book, right?

I wished them a good Ramadan, and they immediately invited me to their Eid al-Fitr festival when the fasting month is over.
But of course, I am deluded. While I heartily shake hands with these people, and while they ask after the health of my family and my dog, their brothers are down in the sub-sub-basement, building bombs and cursing the infidels who buy their pizza and beer.

More On [Imam Faisal] Rauf's "Radicalism."
The State Department is apparently sending Imam Faisal Rauf to Muslim nations abroad to lecture on how "Islam is perceived in America." Cue Republican outrage:
“It is unacceptable that US taxpayers are being forced to fund Feisal Abdul Rauf’s trip to the Middle East,” say Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) of Florida and Peter King (R) of New York in a statement issued Tuesday. “This radical is a terrible choice to be one of the faces or our country overseas. The USA should be using public diplomacy programs to combat extremism,” they add, “not to endorse it.”
Rauf's "extremism" is an invention. Of course, before he planned to build an Islamic community center near Ground Zero, Republicans didn't have any problem with him going on such missions:
“His work on tolerance and religious diversity is well-known and he brings a moderate perspective to foreign audiences on what it’s like to be a practicing Muslim in the United States,” State Department spokesman P. J. Crowley said Tuesday. He added that the department’s public-diplomacy offices “have a long-term relationship with” Rauf – including during the past Bush administration, when the religious leader undertook a similar speaking tour.
Of course, after spending the last few months being smeared as a terrorist sympathizer, I can kind of understand why some people might be worried about what he might have to say about how "Islam is perceived in America."

Oddly, Republicans didn't complain when the Bush/Cheney State Department partnered with "this radical" to help with our diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.

I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened. But the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened....Because we have been accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world. In fact, in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.
Compare and contrast with Uber patriot Ron Paul:
Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years...."
Asked by a moderator if he was suggesting the United States invited the attacks, Paul said: "I'm suggesting we listen to the people who attacked us and the reason they did it. And they are delighted that we're over there because Osama bin Laden has said: I am glad you're over on our sand because we can target you so much easier."

Probably not what the panel was expecting to hear.
Ashkenazi: Next time, IDF will use snipers to halt Gaza-bound flotillas
"Our fundamental problem, and mine as well, was exactly that," he said. "I estimated there would be 18 people on the upper deck, and that if we came with a helicopter and threw a stun grenade they would relent. We had to guarantee 'sterile' conditions for the unit."
Once forces came into contact with passengers, he said, "the navy commander made the right decision in taking over the bridge of the ship."
Ashkenazi said that if the IDF is faced with a similar situation in the future, there may be no alternative to deploying snipers to minimize troop casualties. "When people are looking for a fight, it usually happens," he said.

It's a song about a young man who gets a match (a 'shidduch' arranged for him). In this passage he explains that after the wedding, he and his bride will be hosted and honored for the following week, and then plan to move to Teaneck, NJ.
His friends ask him if he's booked a hall yet, which he hasn't, and whether his bride plans to wear a full wig, or a 'fall' (the 'modern' option), which he doesn't know.
They want to know how many dates it took to get engaged (3), and why so long.

Moreover, the so-called Jewish burkha is something done by so few people (fewer than 200 total) and yet so worried Jewish leaders about its possible consequences, that the most religious Jewish court ruled against its use.

Married women cover their hair, this is an almost universal custom among observant Jews, although some modern Orthodox and most Conservative women will often go bareheaded after marriage. More Orthodox women used to not cover, but we're in a rightward trend right now.
The wig is an exclusively European custom, probably picked up from Polish nobility like the rest of the Chassische costume. Sephardi women have never worn them, and many authorities don't approve of them. However, others insist that they are really super-modest, and have special qualities not found in regular headscarves.
Close cutting or shaving of the natural hair is also a specific thing to some European communities. It's post-medieval, and not done AFAIK outside the very conservative Chassidic communities these days.
As for the Jewish veiling and shawling and whatnot fad that's developed in Israel, God, I don't know. People get so frum sometimes they lose contact with reality. There was charismatic rebbetzin who was promoting the whole thing, and it seems to have kept going, even though the woman is now in jail.

Mad Prophet Ludwig Wed, Aug 11, 2010 5:23:54pm |
Hitler was gay?
I suppose that would be a surprise to Eva Braun.
Actually there are an awful lot of details about Hitler's sex life that have been un-earthed by historians over the years. From what I have seen, he was definitely a pervert, in as much as he liked to have young women (in this case a young cousin) poop on a glass table that he was under while he masturbated. He indulged in all sorts of other prurient things, but was never homosexual.
Making up history is a favorite pass time of the wingnuts. All truths are rewritable to their sense of immediate need and outrage. They rely on the public having no short term memory. We went from the GOP claiming to love Hispanics and reach out to them to the current state of populist outrage falsely directed at them.
We went from cap and trade being a GOP idea which was formulated by President Reagan to deal with acid rain (and it did effectively) and a campaign plank of McCain/Palin to cap and tax.
And the Nazis. They are rightfully considered the epitome of evil. The wingnuts certainly love to call everyone they do not like a Nazi. This is akin to the way that the Nazis called everyone they did not like a communist. Of course, the wingnuts now stupidly believe that communists were Nazis. The nazis loved to bash gays also. In fact, the Nazis murdered them along with Jews. The Nazis certainly hatted immigrants also.
The one thing the Nazis were more than anything else was a populist hyper-nationalistic sect who fed the rage of the ignorant through fear mongering, race baiting, conspiracy theory and jingoistic appeals of belligerence. They were out to cleanse Germany of all "un-pure" things.
The Nazis wold get rid of all undesirables. They would re-write history, law and science to fit with their ideology. Don't kid yourself about the winguts doing just that today ,with their historical revisionism and their moves on the schools. First they would strip them of their rights and ban any academics who would dare speak against it. Books were burnt. There was even a "pure" Nazi take on science. Denying science as part of dogma is one place where both the Nazis and the Communists particularly converged. The other was the re-write of history. Opposing views of any kind, were crowded out and slandered. They would define who the real Germans were, what real German thoughts were, and all else was forbidden or enemy. Once power was taken, the real fun would begin.
The biggest difference between Nazis and Communists were the international revolutionary aims of communism vs. the hyper nationalist aims of fascism. Both sought to create empires, but from utterly different philosophical starting points. The Nazis allied with large corporations and crushed unions. The communists seized the corporations "for" the workers.
Of course, the wingnuts have a problem. Nazis are the epitome of evil, so when the wingnuts use Nazi tactics and think Nazi thoughts, they have to call it something else. They call it a tea-party, and everyone else is now a Nazi.
So let me say it clearly.
This Fischer person is an actual Nazi in both word and deed, if not with that German flavor.
So is Pamela Geller. So is RSM. So is Breitbart. So is Rush Limbaugh and Beck and Coulter and Malkin.
People like Buchanan and the Palians or the loons at Conservapedia are not even lamely trying to hide it.
The co-authors of the Az law do not even try to hide it.
In an irony of history, the Dems are once again the party in power as Nazism rises. The Dems of FDR's day were hardly all the best people on the planet. They were then, as today mostly career politicians with a few idealists sprinkled in.
However, their foe was pure evil.
The Dems of those days became saints by default - even as the GOP of the day saw business opportunity in re-arming Germany. Some things about the GOP have never changed.
Of course, many modern Nazis call themselves Republicans today.
It is not that I love Obama. It is that I hate evil. Few things are more evil than Nazism

re: #134 Alouette
I think you mentioned this place yesterday. The Times reviewed Traif, a Williamsburgh pork joint in the midst of the Chasidic Jewish community there...
The name, in Yiddish, refers to food forbidden under Jewish dietary law. To underscore the point, the front door has the logo of a cute little piggy stamped with a heart.Some would call this wit, others blasphemy. No matter. The name generated plenty of buzz before the place opened in April, which presumably was the intent of the owners, Jason Marcus, the chef, and his girlfriend, Heather Heuser. (He’s Jewish, she’s not.)
But here is Traif’s little secret: it is, simply, a very nice restaurant. There’s nothing outré about the food, which is for the most part delicious and well made. The cooking is thoughtful, the flavors subtle and complex, the prices reasonable.

Some people live for the destruction and humiliation of their perceived enemies. Some people lie for it. Some do both.

Progress:
[Link: politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...]
Nearly half of all Americans think the Constitution provides same-sex couples the right to marry, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll.
(...)
In a separate question, some respondents were asked whether the Constitution should (rather than does) give gays and lesbians the right to marry."That's different than asking respondents what they think is currently in the Constitution," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
In that separate question, 52% said that same-sex couples should have the constitutional right to marry; 46% say the Constitution should not convey that right.
"It's possible that this is an indication that some Americans believe that the right to marry is not in the Constitution but would support an amendment to add it," Holland notes. "But taking into account the sampling error, there is no statistical difference between the 49 percent who think the Constitution already gives that right to gays and the 52 percent who think it should. So it's difficult to draw any conclusion beyond the basic finding that Americans are closely divided on this topic."

The gap widens dramatically when age is taken into account. Nearly six in ten Americans under the age of 50 say gay rights are protected under the Constitution. Only 38 percent of Americans over the age of 50 say the same thing.
And:
"This is one of the few instances when independents side with one party rather than falling in between the Dems and the GOP," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "56 percent of Democrats and 57 percent of Independents think the Constitution conveys the right to marry to same-sex couples. Only a quarter of all Republicans agree."

Whole wheat linguine?
Regular linguine?

Personally, I would make the regular or the whole wheat linguine al dente with a cube of chicken both in the water I used to boil it. After I strained it, I would toss it with olive oil and basil with some crushed black pepper and if you have them some lightly sautéed cashews.

No cashews, but I do have some marcona almonds...I might add a few of those as they have a nice saltiness to them.

That is the idea,. I would lightly sauté them - and by lightly I mean perhaps 45 seconds to a minute on medium high with a little olive or sesame oil and if you want to get really exotic a tiny pinch of nutmeg.

And the reason I suggest the bouillon or broth is because you did not mention any sauce that you were (I assume) stir frying the chicken sausage, broccoli and peppers in. It will add a nice flavoer to the pasta without demanding a red or white sauce.

Bryan Fischer just wants the same reasonable, tolerant, enlightened policies in the U.S. that now prevail in dar al Islam: other religions may hang on for a time, but they may not build new houses of worship.
Logic puzzle: is Fischer correct that these are reasonable and enlightened policies? If so, what does he have against building new mosques, given that they are houses of worship connected to a reasonable and tolerant religion?
Is he wrong about that? If so, why does he want the U.S. to join the ranks of the unreasonable and intolerant?
Or is there a difference between being reasonable and being tolerant? Is he reasonable to want the U.S. to be another intolerant kingdom? If so, what is the historical record of such polities?
