Muslim in America: 9/11 Sign posted in the window of a Muslim store in TEXAS

From Atlas Shrugs:

911 muslim
H/T Bare Naked Islam

Ali, in full, Ali ibn Abu Talib (c. 600 – 661), the fourth of the caliphs or successors of Muhammad, was born at Mecca about the year A.D. 600. His father, Abu Talib, was an uncle of the Prophet, and Ali himself was adopted by Muhammad and educated under his care.

The question of Ali’s right to succeed to the caliphate is an article of faith which divided the Muslim world into two great sects, the Sunni and the Shia. The Sunnis believe that the prophet chose Abu Bakr to be the first caliph, while the Shia believe that he chose Ali and announced it in public in Ghadir Khom. Whatever the case, Ali did not challenge Abu Bakr or any of the later caliphs, rather he served as an advisor to them.

Ali is greatly respected by all Muslims, both Sunni and Shia. The Shia, venerate him especially as second only to the prophet, call him the “Lion of God” (Sher-i-Khuda), and celebrate the anniversary of his martyrdom.

Ali was the first to offer his services for Jihad. SHIA.ORG

Is everyone aware that there has been a mass shooting at Ft. Hood in Texas and there may have been multiple shooters. So far 7 reported dead, 12 wounded. Ft. Hood is in lockdown. This story is moving too fast to post on so I'm just doing a heads-up.

I didn't know about it, until I saw on the Dashboard you are posting something on the subject.

Thanks for doing that.

Get it up as soon as you can, and then update as necessary.

This story about the sign in the window may suddenly have even more resonance, because of what is posted above it.

Boycott! If you have any friends or family who live in the area, tell them, "Do not shop at that store!"
