I have long stated that the "family values" and "pro-family" Christian organizations in this country all have an overarching agenda of making their toxic version Christianity into the official religion for all citizens. One of the reasons gays and gay marriage send them into apoplexy is that our existence, not to mention our lives and committed loves fly in the face of their fear based beliefs. By desperately clinging to a literal application of the Bible - or at least those passages that further their ego centric mindset and allow them to freely condemn others - they have set their house of cards religious world view for total collapse once a piece of it , such as alleged Biblical condemnation of homosexuality proves to be untrue. In their typical opportunistic and exclusionary manner, the good folks at the American Family Association ("AFA") - which borders on a hate group in my opinion - wants the further construction of mosques banned nationwide. They don't give a damn about the Constitution's guarantee of freedom of religion to all citizens regardless of their faith. Instead, it is all about them and using the laws to inflict their beliefs on all. They are no better than the Islamic fundamentalists whom they hate with a passion. Here are highlights from Bryan Fischer's anti-Muslim screed at AFA:*
Permits should not be granted to build even one more mosque in the United States of America, let alone the monstrosity planned for Ground Zero. This is for one simple reason: each Islamic mosque is dedicated to the overthrow of the American government. Each one is a potential jihadist recruitment and training center, and determined to implement the “Grand Jihad” of which Andy McCarthy has written.
*
Here is the strategy, in their own words, in the words of “An Explanatory Memorandum” circulated by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1991 which outlines “the General Strategic Goal” for the Islamic movement “in North America.”
*
Read it and shudder: Muslims “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions...It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny...” (emphasis mine)
*
Because of this subversive ideology, Muslims cannot claim religious freedom protections under the First Amendment. They are currently using First Amendment freedoms to make plans to destroy the First Amendment altogether. There is no such thing as freedom of religion in Islam, and it is sheer and utter folly for Americans to delude themselves into thinking otherwise.
*
Bottom line: it’s suicidal for America to allow terrorist training cells to crop up all over the fruited plain. And each mosque is an actual or potential terrorist training cell, as Anwar al-Awlaki has demonstrated. His north Virginia mosque was used to radicalize three of the 9/11 jihadis as well as the Major Hasan who shot up the infidel idolaters at Fort Hood.
*
If a mosque was willing to publicly renounce the Koran and its 109 verses that call for the death of infidels, renounce Allah and his messenger Mohammed, publicly condemn Osama bin Laden, Hamas, and Abdelbaset al Megrahi (the Lockerbie bomber), maybe then they could be allowed to build their buildings. But then they wouldn’t be Muslims at that point, now would they?
*
The irony is that the folks at AFA are endeavoring to do exactly what they would blame the Muslims of doing. Is the AFA willing to denounce anti-abortion extremists, those who would murder gays, and renounce the passages in the Bible that laud the murder of non-believers and other heinous acts? I suspect not. They want others to do what they themselves would never do.
