NYC Liberals to Opponents of Ground Zero Mosque: “Islam is a Wonderful, Faith-Filled Religion Just Like Judaism and Christianity”
From Weasel Zippers:
From a NY Daily News op-ed, who are the people who wrote it? Don’t know, don’t care, but this is a perfect illustration of how the left views Islam..
(NY Daily News)- We are three New Yorkers who hail from three different faiths but cherish the religious and cultural pluralism of New York City. We would like to inform Mark Williams of the national Tea Party and all those who strongly object to the proposed Muslim cultural center near the World Trade Center that Islam is a wonderful, faith-filled religion just like Judaism and Christianity.
Islam did not bring down the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001. What brought the towers down were 19 men who were deeply misguided and brainwashed by an ideology that is not blessed in the teachings of the prophet Mohammed in the sacred Koran. To believe otherwise is to equate Catholicism with the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 by Irish American Catholic, Timothy McVeigh, or to connect Judaism with the 1977 Son of Sam murders with a Jewish American, David Berkowitz.
Therefore, please do not condemn Islam due to the crazed, morbid actions of zealots who abused the Koran and the free will given to them by God.
After a careful period of inquiry, we have discovered that the particular proposed development in question is based on the spirit of peaceful co-existence with other faith traditions. (And: It happens not to be a “mosque,” as many are calling it, but a multi-purpose cultural center; even if it were a mosque, however, it would be an institution to welcome, not fear.)
We know for a fact that it will not advocate nor will tolerate any hate-filled language against the United States nor any particular religion such as Judaism or Christianity.

Pastorius,
Well they're right about at least one thing. Islam expects you to blindly believe a lot of things based on faith.
I don't know enough about McVeigh's reasoning to say much. It seems to me he was against the government for Constitutional interpretation reasons, but maybe I'm wrong.
But, the idea of blaming Berkowitz on Judaism is absolutely absurd. Nowhere did Berkowitz claim he was doing what he was doing because of religious scriptures.
In fact, Berkowitz was a member of a Satanic cult.
By the way, the other thing is, the "Ground Zero Imam" has made it clear he is an extremist:

Hope these idiots show up downtown on June 6. We will be happy to explain reality to them. Setting up straw-man arguments about not blaming Catholics for the Oklahoma bombing simply demonstrates their ignorance and the bovine mentality they expect to find in others. They are too lazy and fearful to learn the truth about Islam -- try Sura 9:29, a-holes -- and certainly too cowardly to do anything about it if they did.
JP, I didn't know you knew about Berkowitz being a member of Process Church. Have you read Maury Terry's book? He's a friend.
Btw, if you don't know already you won't believe what the Process has been up to in recent years.
I wasn't trying to give reasons for McVeigh, just noting the fact that several of the US murders had some affiliation with "Christian Identity" and McVeigh was not Catholic (at least I don't think he was.)
Eric Rudolf the Olympic bomber of '96(?)
That old guy who recently shot the guards at a Jewish center(?) and died before his trial.
All had CI connections.
Sameno,
Gotcha.
RRA,
I know nothing about the Process Church.
What are they up to? Let me guess; they are forging alliances with the Church of Satan - Islam. Right?
