Only racists oppose Muslim community center near ground zero

For some reason my sound card went kaput, so I can't hear anything they are saying. From what I could SEE, it looks to be a non-violent encounter. Ill have to pop it up on the other computer when I am out in the garage.

Eh... So I guess this chick is a racist too PowerStroker?

Muslim Miss USA: Move mosque from ground zero-

One of the United States most visible Muslim-Americans has taken sides in the debate on whether to build a 13-story community center and mosque near the site of the former World Trade Center in New York City. Lebanese-born, New York-raised Miss USA Rima Fakih said she is against the plan.

Following President Obamas comment in favor of the proposed mosque project last week, Fakih was asked her thoughts on the hot national debate by a reporter for Inside Edition.

I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on constitutional rights of freedom of religion, Fakih, 24, said from Las Vegas, where she is scheduled to represent the USA at the Miss Universe pageant tonight.

However, she added: I also agree that it shouldnt be so close to the World Trade Center. We should be more concerned with the tragedy than religion.

What PowerStroker was hoping for was something to the effect of:

"Oh no dude, I would never associate with such obviously racist morons like those in the video. That poor African American dude did nothing wrong, it was horrible that those people would make assumptions about him.

What PowerStroker got was something to the effect of:

"Oh yeah, well I totally identify with the people in that video, but it's ok because this Americanized Muslim hot chick happens to agree with us."

REX, YOU FAILED THE RACIST TEST.

almost as good as Princess Putz, you're still a racist though.

Let me guess... Because I drive a Mercedes... I must be a racist?

Because I honestly don't understand what would make you draw that conclusion. It used to bother me, but now I realize it bugs you more.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

No, it was your response to the video I posted at the top of this link. You didn't reject racist the actions of the white people, instead you for some reason view yourself as someone who would probably join them in their taunting of the black dude.

Do you have any black customers Rex? Do they have a separate water fountain and bathroom in your shop?

I know it's too much for you to read, but I'll say it once more. MY SOUND CARD IS FUCKED. I can not hear what they are saying. It looks like they are giving him a hard time, but as I said there was no violant physical actions. I don't know what they said.

I have customers of all races. They get the same service as a white dude would.

Where you come up with this shit is beyond me. You are the typical ignorant Democrat trying to play the race card I guess.

A person who runs a web site but can't fix a sound card, is like a mechanic who tries to compensate for road crown with a toe adjustment.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

..!.

All seven of my computers are paid for. Nothing wrong with the sound card. Software issue from malicious spyware.

What adjustment would you make in an effort to compensate for road crown on a 1986 Ford Escort PowerStroker?

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Caster is usually the preferred method. If there isn't an adjustment provision from the factory you can probably do a cradle adjustment by loosening the cradle mounts and shifting it such that it changes caster the way you need it to... Otherwise slot the strut bearing mounts as necessary. I don't have any 1986 Escort shop manuals here at home to check and see if there is a recommended procedure.

I don't think there are many 1986 vehicles remaining here in MN where we use road salt, and even if they are, they probably aren't worth the cost of an alignment.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Do all cars have adjustments for Caster PowerStroker?

And I am curious to know just how one would "do a cradle adjustment by loosening the cradle mounts and shifting it such that it changes caster the way you need it to".

Is that a joke? Because I have removed many of cradles and how what you are suggesting could be possible is beyond me. You are aware that many cradles also have trans/engine mounts right? Sound's like another ignorant Democrat suggesion that will later pan out to cause more problems than anything else.

No PowerStroker, an 1/8 inch toe end would be the proper way to handle that problem. On the PASSENGERS side of course. But what do I know? I am only a Certified Mechanic in suspension.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Oh for fuck sake, when are you going to get it through your head that toe can't compensate for road crown.

I bet you sell a lot of tires.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

That's one way to avoid the question. Yet another way to avoid the question would be saying that a vehicle made by Ford in 1986 is not expected to still be on the road.

I don't sell tires, nor do I perform alignments on a regular bassis. On a newer vehicle with provisions for caster adjustments I would use the preffered method (caster) to compensate for road crown. On vehicles without caster adjustments, well an 1/8 inch toe in on the passenger front tire would be my "TARGET".

Back to the topic at hand...

Would you be opposed to the construction of a Christian church near the site of the Oklahoma city federal building? If not, how is it any different than a Muslim center near ground zero?

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Why PowerStroker? Are the Christians suggesting they are building a $100 million dollar church at or near the Oklahoma city federal building?

If not I'm really not interested in the famous Democrat what if we demonize the other side who have done nothing wrong in an effort to obsucre the facts at hand.

Instead let us "What If" on more pressing issues, such as "What if Obama has been lying to us about his religion?", or "What if Obama is not capable of running this country and causes us to go further in the hole" or "What if the ObamaCrat healthcare program turns out to be bad?".

Or how about "What if PowerStroker quit kissing donkey ass". How about that one?

They're not suggesting it at all, in fact there are already 7 Christian churches within a 2 city block area of the Oklahoma City Federal Building according to Google Maps.

I was just wondering if that offends you as much as a mosque within 2 city blocks of ground zero - that's all. You know since it was a Christian terrorist that blew that one up, I assumed you would be equally offended by the proximity of Christian churches to the scene of that crime. Which you still haven't answered by the way.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Did the Oklahoma City bomber say that his attack was christian holy war upon the federal government? Or did he say him and his cronies had a beef with the Federal Government and that Christianity should be exluded from his motive for attacking?

Also with regards to them 7 Christian churches in the area, were they there before the bombing? Even if some of them are newer, It's not the idea of the American public that Chrisitanity was responsible for the attacks on the federal building in OK. Thus no one in the "Community" would have had issues.

I can not say the same will hold true when it comes to the "Community" there in New York. They have the final say.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Well, Tim McVeigh as I understand it, was a typical low information right winger. Then the Waco cult incident happened where a lot of brainwashed people burned to death. Tim McVeigh watched it happen from a distance and decided it was his mission to avenge the deaths of those fellow Christian fundamentalists by attacking the very government he blamed for their deaths. McVeigh was a military man, and used his analysis of combat rules of engagement as justification for his actions.

So I guess the answer to your question is Yes... It was his Christian holy war against our government. I don't know when those churches were built, but I have to believe at least a few of the casualties of the Federal Building bombing were Muslim. I'm wondering if you have as much concern for their sensitivities as you do for the Christian sensitivities in New York? Keep in mind it wasn't only Christians killed on 911 in the WTC, and it wasn't only Christian firefighters and cops who died rushing into those buildings. If we are to claim a moral high ground and expect Muslims to live up to a high standard of behavior, then we too must apply that standard to ourselves otherwise we are certainly hypocrites, and no better than "them".

May I remind you that this Republic or Democracy as you would have it is still a majority rules culture. Claiming that "we" are no better than "them" simpily implies that at the moment "we" are the majority, however giving "them" the oppertunity of the majority can we expect anything diffrent?

I would have to say No, PowerStroker. As "we" (everyone) are all just human.

If minority rights were always put to a majority vote:

Women would not be allowed to work, they would be at home, barefoot in the kitchen and dreaming of the day when they could vote.

You would own black slaves.

Homosexuals would be stoned to death regularly.

Native Americans wouldn't have any reservations.

Rich white people would rape and pillage everything.

I'm sure there's more, but the point is it's never appropriate to allow a majority vote determine the rights of a minority.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

You missed the point PowerStroker. And as usual you are wrong.

It was a majority that put all of stuff you speak of above to rest.

Don't you forget that.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Only after years of organized protests and civil unrest. Civil rights certainly weren't handed out willingly by the white male majority, they had to take their rights back from us. Just as your backward thinking buddies wish to deprive homosexuals of their rights, eventually they too, will defeat you.

Tell that to the wetbacks crossing into Arizona dying in the desert, or the homosexuals dying of Aids.

I am aware of this PowerStroker, but word on the street is some dude ass raping gorilla's is how it got started. Then again the story changes depending on who you ask.

My point here is no one is opressing the gay people. Should people be permitted to get married to a gorilla? How about people from Jakarta such as Robert, should he be permitted to get married to a goat while in the USA? Where do you draw the line? At what point are the values and traditions of a wedding wattered down so much that it is no longer sacred?
