If praying in a Mosque is good enough for the Pope, then why

[rateyes]

isn't it a good thing for McCain or Obama?

Wasn't the Islamic Center in Washington D.C. given the blessing of Eisenhower, and hasn't every president including * visted there?

I'm tired of fundy Christian hypocrisy.

1. Obama..

...needs to find some liberal clergy to go with him and visit a mosque. I think that would be his only cover, if there were a catholic priest, a minister, and whoever else to go there like it's a field trip or something. Pictures would include all of them together, and not Obama separately. Then the idiot right wingers wouldn't be able to criticize as much.

[rateyes]

3. To hell with the right wingers. They aren't going to vote for Obama anyway.

[skooooo]

13. People on the fence too.

Well, put it this way, he would LOSE votes if he just said fuck it, and did it.

2. But remember, the Pope...

...isn't a "real" Christian, according to fundylogic.

[rateyes]

4. Except when he agrees with them.

Then, he's their best friend.

[anonymous171]

11. Oh yeah. Don't they believe that the pope is the whore of Babylon or something?

[Kutjara]

17. Something like that. For them, the Protestant Reformation...

...is late breaking news.

5. is this really what you want Obama to do right now?

or would you prefer that he WIN THE PRESIDENCY FIRST and THEN pray at a mosque?

[rateyes]

7. Well, the Pope did it, and he isn't Muslim. Bush did it, and he isn't

Muslim. So, why, if Obama does it, he'll be called a Muslim?

I'm just talking about the damned hypocrisy of fundamentalist Christians.

6. Why won't he join my coven?

I'm very concerned.

Fuckin' nutjob muggles.

[rateyes]

9. I would have no problem with Obama if he visited your coven....

We're electing a President, not hiring a preacher.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. But he's not visiting my coven, and I feel shunned.

Is Obama a wiccophobic bigot? I'm very concerned.

I'm so disappointed, maybe I'll vote for John McCain.

[rateyes]

18. I'm not concerned about him not visiting a Mosque.

I'm just pointing out Right Wing hypocrisy.

8. Dammit, I'm a solitary practitioner and Obama has NEVER been

to one of my solitary rituals. Oh, wait. I guess I wouldn't be a solitary practitioner anymore then, would I?

[rateyes]

12. I'm not criticizing Obama for not going to a Mosque. I'm criticizing

fundy Christians who would tar and feather him if he did, even though they had no problem with Dubya doing it.

[DevonRex]

15. Okay. I'm all FOR criticizing fundies! :) nt

10. Simple Answer

Because in this country, if someone sees a white person praying at a mosque, they assume they are visiting.

The same assumption does not apply for anyone not caucasian.

[rateyes]

14. That would be a bad assumption, and

Obama is white. I've seen pictures of him with his mother. :sarcasm:

[w13rd0]

19. I certainly don't mean to imply...

...that the average US citizen makes WISE or GOOD assumptions...
