WWOBLD?

UPDATE V: Bush's former chief speechwriter from 2001 until June 2006 outs the CONristian hypocrites:

"Christianity, as an Abrahamic faith, sets out another vision -- an assertion of human worth and dignity that transcends tribe and nation. . . In light of this belief, the purpose of social influence for Christians is not to favor their own faith; it is to serve a view of universal rights and dignity taught by their faith. It is not to advance their own creed; it is to apply that creed in pursuit of the common good. This is what turns religion into a positive social force -- a determination to defend everyone's dignity.

Freedom of religious worship and expression is essential to human dignity -- which makes blocking the construction of a mosque for religious reasons a violation of Christian belief. And laws preventing the building of churches in Mecca or Riyadh do not make this principle less important here."

Read the Washington Post, In mosque controversies, some Christians undermine their own faith.


UPDATE IV: Three Al Qaeda cheers for those binLadi-cans (formerly known as the Republi-cons). Read The New York Times, U.S. Anti-Islam Protest Seen as Lift for Extremists and U.S. News & World Report, Why Are Palin, Gingrich, and Fox News Doing Bin Laden's Work?


UPDATE III: From This Modern World, A mosque near ground zero? I'm offended even thinking about it! On earth and parallel earth alike, the wingnuts escalate the crazy:



And to understand why the mosque must be built, read the Washington Post, No compromise on religious freedom and The right-wing, blinded by its own hysteria.


UPDATE II: U.S. politics has a long history of religious bigotry. Read the Huffington Post, Obama a Muslim! Lincoln a Catholic! FDR a Jew! Why Americans Don't Like Their President's God


UPDATE: "Opposition to the proposed Islamic center near ground zero is one topic on which Sarah Palin and Osama bin Laden apparently agree." Read The New York Times, Taking Bin Laden’s Side.

And "[t]he rage over the “ground zero mosque” is not motivated by a serious desire to protect America, but by a desire for an election-season payoff." Read The New York Times, How Fox Betrayed Petraeus.

"President Obama’s Clintonesque casuistry is making a bad situation worse." Read The New York Times, Our Mosque Madness.

OBL must be proud of the Republi-cons.
