While it has everything that different casinos have, its unique trait is the right compatibility with cellular gadgets. The internet model of its web site fits completely on cellular, so you won’t have to seek for essential options like withdrawal and leaving a recreation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757691868671957214.post-13328840126742983672013-01-24T10:52:59.945-05:002013-01-24T10:52:59.945-05:00You bring up many important points, most convincin...You bring up many important points, most convincingly.

The Park 51 site will most definitely include a mosque. Please take a look at their website where the mosque is explicitly stated: http://www.park51.org/facilities.htm. Sharif El-Gamal, head of Soho Properties, Inc., and developer, of the “Ground Zero mosque,” has publicly described the mosque as "a neat and clean facility and can accommodate 1,000 people to pray in Jamat [i.e. collectively] at one time.” Not a small prayer space. Not a small, non-denominational airport chapel. A mosque. A mosque capable of housing 1000 worshippers.<br /><br />Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf - definitely not moderate. Putting aside his inflammatory comments on America being an accessory to 9/11 and Bin Laden being made in America, Imam Rauf is an Islamist pure and simple and there is nothing moderate about an Islamist. Islamists are Muslims who would like to see sharia (Islamic law) installed. They don't believe in the separation of mosque and state. The goal is to Islamacize a society. It is the purpose of jihad. The terrorists are willing to force sharia's installation by violent jihad; other Islamists have varying views about the usefulness of violence, but they also want sharia, and their jihadist methods include tactics other than violence.<br /><br />I do believe there are hundreds of millions of Muslims who do not want to live under sharia, and who want religion to be a private matter, separated from public life. Whoever they are - Imam Rauf isn't among them. Rauf would like to enforce Sharia law in America and I wouldn't consider Sharia moderate.<br /><br />The Koran is not like the books of the Old and New Testaments. (Even though you only cited examples from the Old Testament and neglected the role of the New Testament which invalidates your original comparison). It is not thought to be "inspired," like the Bible. Muslims believe the Koran contains the unvarnished teachings of Allah, dictated directly to Mohammed by the archangel Gabriel. There is no room for interpretation for a Muslim. All Islamists believe they are doing precisely what they have been divinely instructed to do — and doing it in the service of jihad.<br /><br />This issue has never been about the 1st amendment. It just may be about - if you're an Imam who is a self-proclaimed bridge builder - humbly extending a little sympathy and sensitivity to the majority of people who oppose building the mosque at that particular site when you can easily build it somewhere else and do it with the blessing of the country vs. a curse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382799019096455785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757691868671957214.post-43095823534417651792010-08-28T03:01:26.591-04:002010-08-28T03:01:26.591-04:00Jase - you know I love you but, unfortunately, you...Jase - you know I love you but, unfortunately, you're wrong.

(Have they already forgotten their old problem with Rev. Wright and the Obama family's regular attendance at that church?) My response every time is, "say he is Muslim. So what?" Which forces the speaker to admit to their fear and hatred of all Muslims based on nothing ... or more likely based on their excessive watching of Fox News. <br /><br />My point, which I've repeated so many times over the years, is that (barring extremist sects) no one religion is inherently good or evil. Muslim does not equal evil any more than Christian equals good any more than Jewish equals greedy, etc.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177400284209742184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757691868671957214.post-75725235966541667862010-08-25T13:12:03.438-04:002010-08-25T13:12:03.438-04:00As always, beautifully articulated.As always, beautifully articulated.Brutalismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659884369597107148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757691868671957214.post-39197318503657304432010-08-04T16:28:15.566-04:002010-08-04T16:28:15.566-04:00My imaginary god can beat up your imaginary god!My imaginary god can beat up your imaginary god!lacochran's evil twinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00830374402474261699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757691868671957214.post-69281311876069024682010-07-21T00:56:12.196-04:002010-07-21T00:56:12.196-04:00Kashif: thanks for the, uhm, ad.
