Bearly Busted (Last pun, I swear)
Mosquerade (Puns are terrific)
So some Muslims wish to build a mosque in New York. Cool. Totally legal in America.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Whoa. That looks familiar. Oh, It's the First Amendment telling Americans they can build a religious establishment? Well, thats cool. So here's what I'm having trouble understanding: Why can't a mosque be built near Ground Zero. We are not talking about a shrine to the terrorists responsible for 9/11. We are not talking about a memorial in remembrance of 9/11 terrorists or anything that has to do with 9/11 for that matter.
"Yeah Dad! Let's go to the Barbie Museum!!"..." |
Simply put, NO IT WOULD FUCKING NOT. The National Socialist German Worker's Party was far from a party. They persecuted everyone from the Slavs to the Roma to the Communists, to homosexuals to the Jews. If you are a Nazi, you are anti-semetic. Period.
So how is building a mosque near Ground Zero any different? Fundamentalism is how. The men responsible for 9/11 were indeed Muslims but they were fundamentalist Muslims. That is to say they were individuals. INDIVIDUALS. Anybody who is familiar with the Holy Qur'an understands it IS a peaceful religion that DOES promote tolerance. I'm not going to get into fundamentalism in this post because to be honest I'm not knowledgeable enough on the topic, but what I can tell you is this.
Terrorist Doosh |
and for that matter
Fred Phelps is the creator of this supposedly "Christian church" |
The fact of the matter is that nearly every major religion today has a group of peope among them who have lost their way. Lost what it means to believe in God, lost what it means to love, and lost what it means to respect. So let them build the mosque. Why restrict people from worshipping God because of those who have lost their way.
and p.s. Let's keep facebook strictly chillin'. If I want to argue about politics via the internet, I'll just tell Adam Silver that I think Obama is a douche.
I don't think that, Adam.

Mustaches (Mustachi?)
Typically, and I've just observed this from watching "To Catch a Predator" : The thinner one likes their mustache, the younger one likes their women. For example.
Tom Selleck: Famous for boning such "elder hotties" such as Jillie Mack.
whereas
This Guy: Has probably been arrested numerous times for pedophilia.

Elephant Wondering
BecauseHas sprouted beneath a golden leaf
In a dark forest
This seed is seriously contemplating,
Seriously wondering about
The moseying habits
Of the Elephant.
Why?
In this lucid, wine drenched taleThe Elephant is really--God,
-Hafiz
Who has His big foot upon us,Upon the golden leaf under which liesThis sproutingUniverse
WhereinWe are all a little concernedAnd
Nervous.
