Teabaggers plan to harass Muslims with dogs at proposed mosque site

[ck4829]

The Islamic Center of Temecula, California has been seeking permits to build a mosque for over a year and a half and its proposal is scheduled to come before the Temecula planning commissioners on Aug. 18.

And so Tea Party activists are planning to protest outside of the Islamic Center's existing facility and urging participants to bring dogs in order to intimidate worshipers because "Muslims hate dogs".

A lot of foreign born Muslims have never been close to animals like dogs before. There was a reason why they used dogs in Abu Ghraib.

Opposing the construction of a Mosque is bad enough, but this is intimidation, there is no debating that.

1. the real reason for having the dogs there is so the tea brownshirts won't feel as scared

[1badjedi]

2. The muslims should bring

TIGERS!

Elephants would be cool too as they could stomp the dogs and the dumb baggers. :)

[AmericaIsGreat]

3. They should strap pigs to the back of the dogs

Because, holy shit, can you imagine how scary that would be to a Muslim?

Tea Baggers need to go away. What a bunch of clowns.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. The worshipers should bring Hooked on Phonics. That'll make the Teatards

shit their pants.

[Scurrilous]

5. LOL

Teabaggers are idiots.

6. Yeah, Tea-Fuckers...tell us again how you're all about "defending

the Constitution", and don't have a racist bone amongst the lot of you!

[JoePhilly]

7. The Muslims should bring milk bones and feed them to the dogs ...

And take pictures ... and say things like "who's a good boy" over and over.

Not all American Muslims are afraid of dogs (at least not the ones I know).

[ProgressiveProfessor]

8. A lot of urban Americans are also afraid of dogs too

surprised me at the time until it was pointed out to me that the urban poor can not afford such luxuries.

Letter: ‘On Powell endorsement’
Published: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:36 PM CDT
To the Editor,

It was disclosed recently that General Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama For President, criticizing his own Republican Party for what he called its narrow focus on irrelevant personal attacks over a serious approach to challenges he called unprecedented.

This would be news by itself, but it was Powell’s focus on one hero that caught my attention.

“Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is no. That’s not America. Is there something wrong with a 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she could be president? Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion that he is a Muslim and might have an association with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.

“I feel particularly strong about this because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother at Arlington Cemetery and she had her head on the headstone of her son’s grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone, and it gave his awards — Purple Heart, Bronze Star — showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death, he was 20 years old. And then at the very top of the head stone, it didn’t have a Christian cross. It didn’t have a Star of David. It has a crescent and star of the Islamic faith.

“And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan. And he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he could serve his country and he gave his life.”

Mr. Powell’s beautiful words of sacrifice and unity should remind us that Americans have to work together for what is best for America and stop demonizing those who may be different than us. Excellent choice, Mr. Powell, and beautifully written.

11. Apparently Freedom of Religion means one must subscribe

to the Tea party's bastardized version of Christianity.

how can they be so brazenly proud of their hatred, bigotry and stupidity?

[guitar man]

12. Ok then

" UKC American Pit Bull Terrier pups, all shots, worked and weaned...free to good Muslim homes"

:evilgrin:

13. Dogs? How 1960's of them (large photos)

[Mnemosyne]

17. How very Abu Graib of them too. Never forget either crime.

:hi:

[Ian David]

14. After all, Temecula, California is too close to Ground Zero.

:sarcasm:

[lunatica]

15. Good one. And a crying shame to boot

Someone told me after the Iraq war started that we're fighting a religious war. I thin he was right. It sure likes it.

[Ian David]

18. George W. Bush TWICE called it a "Crusade." n/t

[Historic NY]

16. I guess that screws up their POTUS claim then he has a dog...

silly teabaggers.

[LostinVA]

20. Good point!

[lunatica]

19. Teabaggers no doubt got their inspiration from the Abu Ghraib photographs

They're Real

[Historic NY]

21. more like shades of the south during the 60's .

22. Where I live they keep building new churches when they can't fill the old ones.

What's the fascination Christians have for building more and more churches when the ones that are already there have very few people going to them. If Christians believe all the things in the Bible why are there tens of thousands of different Christian churches? Why doesn't one town have one big church where all the different Christian brands could share the space? Or how about 'worshipping' under a tree and not in a multimillion dollar church?

I believe no new church should be built until the existing ones are full. Christians seem to have to have all the elaborate and expensive religious trappings in order to worship. Why are they so drawn to 'things' rather than focus on the contents of their Bibles?

I guess I could protest every new church being built because it's such a waste of money. Why do people tithe their money so their church will squander it all on gaudy things?

I doubt if many of the tea baggers even attend church. They certainly don't live by the words in the Bible. Instead of trying to take the splinter out of another person's eye, they should first take the plank out of their own.

23. "Man is the only animal with the true religion-several of them"Mark Twain

That's why they need so many churches. If the religous right ever got control in this country,you would see internecine war between the different sect-each of them claiming the are the one and only true religion and all others are heretics and blasphemers.

[AnArmyVeteran]

24. Exactly, just like the 3 Muslim 'brands' in Iraq.

I hope some day mankind can evolve to a point where they can view religion as the hocus pocus witchcraft that it is. What real god would bring religion to a world when It was inhabited by primitive men? And before the inventions of the printing press or video recording equipment? The 'all knowing' god doesn't sound very smart. The fundamentalist Christians I've met are the most ignorant people I've known in life.

25. They're bringing dogs of the four-legged and two-legged variety.
