There's more Somalis in Burnsville than in bleeping Mogadishu. Seriously.

This can not be good, notice we never hear about parrishoners from these mosques travelling to New Orleans to help other Americans, what we hear is hate speech and we read articles how people are radicalized here to bring harm to Americans or others. Please dont act surprised if native Minnesotans have a problem with the proliferation of this religion.

I am willing to bet you have never, ever set foot in a mosque and have absolutely no idea what goes on in one.

An estimated 33% of the world population is Muslim. My guess is if ALL Muslims wanted us, the west, gone it would have happened a long time ago! It is a small fraction of extremists that wants to wipe us out. We have a small fraction of extremists right here in the U.S. looking to do the same thing, and they are not even Muslim.

Generalizing an entire religion and people by the actions of so few really shows how irrational you are.

Please if you want to defend this, help us out and point to Minnesota Muslim leaders who publicly condem Muslim Terrorism or have demonstrated appreciation to America and the new found freedoms they have. As you know we dont see this, we see Young Muslim men being radicalized here in Minneapolis and strapping on expolosive vests. We see Muslim Leaders racing to New York to support the Somali Pirate. Please enlighten us, because I have to break it to you this group needs a new PR firm despite a biased media.

Have you read their Bible(quran, Koran)? Muslim religion is racist, demeaning to women. They believe they are the rightful heirs to the world. They are the KKK of the Arab world. The one true power. The word infidels, a word they love so much, comes from their Quran. It is broadly used to define any one not Muslim.

Like any other religion many many Arabs have and continue to misinterpret their Bible. We don't have to embrace it just because they live here.

30 young Somali men have been killed in Minneapolis, few in the Somali community will coperate with police, as a result a key murder suspect was just released from jail last week because Somalis who witnessed the murder refused to testify. But so happy another mosque is being built!

I'm not defending the terrorist sects of their religion. I'm just saying that you are generalizing that ALL Muslims are evil and want to kill us all and that is simply not right.

I think you watch too much tv.

Again, it is a small fraction that misinterpret the Koran. Not ALL Muslims want to kill everybody.

You watch to much tv, too.

If they publicly and vehemently denouced terrorism committed by Muslims, I would tolerate them. Until they do, I have a hard time respecting them.

See links above. But I'm guessing that probably won't be good enough, right?

Here's another link, which in turn provides links to dozens of articles, speeches, statements by Muslim/Islamic organizations harshly denouncing terrorism.

Want some more?

I hope you're equally interested in hearing strong denunciations of religiously-based terrorism when it's committed by people of other religions, too. For example, I assume you are outraged that most major Christian religions haven't strongly and harshly denounced the killing of Dr. Tiller last week by a religiously-motivated shooter, right? And that you're outraged that several churches have actually applauded the killing and said that the shooter was "sent by God." Right?

The hordes dancing in the streets after 9/11, were they all radicals as well?
The core of this radicalization is seated in some mosques that preach this kind of militancy. That is the root, and it needs to be terminated for the good of humankind.

Christians denounce Tiller the baby killer' killer:
http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2009/06/...

Do you have any evidence of any Christian church that actively sought Tillers murder?
You see, it's one thing to not be upset by the doctors murder, and quite another when preaching hate and death to everyone not of your religion.
Can you make the distinction?

Five, count them, 5 abortion doctors have been murdered since Roe vs wade. Would you be interested in comparing that to how many INNOCENT victims that have been blown to smithereens by the Radical Muslim Movement?

I find your comparisons between Christians and Muslims quite contradictory, especially when you file them under the same heading.

Why yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Check out the Westboro Baptist Church, and their press release when Tiller was shot (hint: it's titled "God hates baby killers").

Here's another oldie but goodie - the "hit list" of abortion providers from a few years ago, calling for their murder. Okay, this one wasn't a church, but the same principle applies - we should expect other anti-choice groups to not only vehemently denounce this act, but work to tone down their rhetoric so they don't incite more violence.

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Sagittarius

Once again, the domestic atmosphere isn't exactly peaceful. Someone is still all worked up, and you may have come out in sympathy by now. Try to discuss things with as much objectivity as you can muster, otherwise, with Mars now retro, the conversation will soon disintegrate into a bad-tempered spat or a slanging match in which you try to catch one another out. It's important to clear the air.
