"I know that Muslims abhor gays and would summarily execute me under their laws"

Ok, so you're saying you're a homosexual. And you're saying that Moslems would execute you if they could for being a homosexual. Every person professing to be a member of a specific group admits they would murder you, and you spend time being upset when some members of that group experience some type of difficulty living in our society.

You as a self-proclaimed homosexual are, in effect, saying "I defend the rights of those who would end my life if they could!" Wow. Do the term "self-preservation" mean anything to you? To use a much used example, it's like a black person defending the rights of KKK members who would hang the black person if they could.

I mean, the average person in your shoes might conceivably consider dropping the "I'm-the-defender-of-a-large-number-of-persons-seeking-my-untimely-death" stance.

You wrote pretty much what I was gonna write.

I knew early on that I was attracted to girls even though it's not sexual when prebuscent. Never was the case for any straight person to "choose" whether they like men or women as if it's some ice cream flavor. If that were the case there were be tons of bisexual people.

Who the hell would "choose" to be part of a minority that is universally hated or worse. Even the most tolerant people frown on homosexuality. How many pro-gay straights would wish their children to become gay? Tolerant people love them anyway but they're dying inside. That's the truth.

Michael Enright who is being held without bail as the suspect in the bias attack on a yellow cab driver, had a diary filled with anti-Muslim rants when he was arrested, according to the NYPD. Enright was a volunteer for Park Place mosque supporter Intersections International, but friends said that since Enright returned home from Afghanistan, he was a changed man, "short-tempered and withdrawn". Enright was in Afghanistan for 35 days fiming a documentary about American troops serving there.

In any case, I didn't think Enright was at all a liberal, and now, his own words, right out of his journal, seem to confirm my original impression of him. One of the entries in his diary described the Muslims he saw in Afghanistan as "filthy murderers without a conscience". He them proceeded to take out his hatred of Muslims in Afghanistan here at home in NYC on cabbie Ahmed Sharif, an American citizen who has lived here for the past 25 years. I'm not backing off my original assessment of the stabbing, which, again, is being borne out by these new developments.

I am defending the right of the Muslims to build their mosque, because THEIR rights are also OUR rights. If we allow their right to worship at the place and manner of their choice away, then WE become fair game for those seeking to take that same right away from us.

I think the Islamic attitude and behavior towards gays and lesbians is reprehensible, inhuman, and dangerous. However, I'm not about to condone denying them the same rights we all expect and enjoy under our Constitution. When we start denying groups we disagree with certain rights, we deny them to ourselves as well.

No one is saying that. What we are saying is that Islam seems to be driving almost all the world's terroristic activities (which is absolutely true) and that practicing Muslims are not doing enough to purge their ranks of these idiots. In many parts of the world, the crazed terrorist enablers and the religious establishment are one and the same.

When you want to put a mosque less than 500 feet from Ground Zero, you sorta reinforce this belief, to the extreme. So stop constructing these non-existent strawmen arguments and address the real issues.

Mayor seeks to calm cabbie, NYC after knife attack

By SARA KUGLER FRAZIER and TOM HAYS
The Associated Press
Thursday, August 26, 2010; 9:11 PM


NEW YORK — A Muslim cab driver whose face and throat were slashed in a suspected hate crime attack appeared with Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday as city officials sought to ease tensions in the debate over a plan to put a mosque near the site of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Meanwhile, investigators sought to unravel contradictions in the life of the suspect, a baby-faced college student who had traveled to Afghanistan with a group that seeks to promote interfaith understanding.

The Bangladeshi driver, Ahmed H. Sharif, said the proposed mosque and Islamic center north of the World Trade Center site did not come up in his conversation with the passenger accused of using a folding knife to slash his neck and face after asking whether he's a Muslim.

"Of course it was for my religion. He attacked me after he knew I was a Muslim," Sharif said at a news conference at City Hall.

Bloomberg said it is impossible to know the motive of the attack. But he made a pointed connection to the debate about the planned Islamic center, which has ignited intense emotions worldwide.

"This should never have happened and hopefully won't happen again," Bloomberg said. "Hopefully, people will understand that we can have a discourse. That's what the First Amendment is all about. That's what America is all about."

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said authorities did not believe the cabbie's attack signified any trend in anti-Muslim crimes.

"We see it as an isolated incident," he said.

Passenger Michael Enright, of Brewster, N.Y., remained jailed without bail on charges of attempted murder and assault as hate crimes and weapons possession.

Sharif and one of his advocates at City Hall, the leader of a taxi drivers' labor group, said the conversation in the taxi turned from pleasant to disturbing as Enright began to make jokes about Ramadan.

Investigators were still trying to make sense of what they know about the 21-year-old visual arts student who once volunteered with a group called Intersections that promotes interfaith tolerance and has supported a proposal for the downtown mosque.

Robert Chase, Intersections' director, said the organization had helped pay to send Enright overseas to Afghanistan in April, a trip he took as part of a senior video project he was doing at the School of Visual Arts. As part of the work, Enright spent time embedded with U.S. troops.

Chase said Enright did not appear tormented or different when he returned from Afghanistan, but said "we knew he was witness to some really awful things over there."

"We could tell that he'd had an intense experience, but he was the same Mike we knew," Chase said. "He's always been professional, always been courteous, always been diligent."

Authorities say Enright uttered "Assalamu aleikum," Arabic for "Peace be upon you," and told the driver, "Consider this a checkpoint," before attacking him Tuesday night inside the yellow cab in Manhattan.

Enright was carrying two notebooks that contained details of his experiences in Afghanistan but did not appear to contain any anti-Muslim rants. The journals were in a backpack along with an empty bottle of scotch, Kelly said.

Enright told police he had been drinking since 2 p.m. Tuesday before his 6 p.m. arrest. He accused the arresting officers of violating his constitutional rights and falsely claimed to be Jewish, Kelly said.

Enright's attorney said at a court appearance Wednesday that Enright was an honors student, lived with his parents in the New York City suburbs and had volunteered in Afghanistan.

Sharif praised New York as a city where "all color, races, all religion," live "side by side peacefully." But he said the attack had made him feel unsafe and lonely. He said meeting with Bloomberg helped him feel more secure, and he welcomed the support from the city.

Supporters of the mosque — a group that includes Bloomberg — say it's a matter of religious freedom. Opponents argue that the site is too close to the place where Islamic terrorists attacked the World Trade Center site nine years ago.

Muslims have been worshipping at the Islamic center site since last year, but it received new attention after developers sought to move ahead on a planned expansion that includes a community center.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based advocacy group, said anti-Islam sentiment has bubbled up with new fervor during the debate about the mosque, leading to more bias incidents nationwide.

In addition to the cab driver stabbing, a mosque in Madera, Calif., was vandalized, and anti-Muslim graffiti was discovered in the parking lot of a Texas Islamic center, the group said.

"Hate rhetoric often leads to hate crimes, and I think that's what we're seeing now," spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said.

Including the attack on Sharif, there have been 10 hate crimes reported against Muslims in the city so far this year, up from six total last year, Kelly said. By comparison, the top hate-crime categories this year are 93 anti-Semitic, 36 anti-gay and 23 anti-black incidents, according to the NYPD.

The anti-Muslim total is so low, "I don't think you can draw any conclusions from these numbers," Kelly said.

The Anti-Defamation League said it had been tracking "an intensified level of anti-Muslim bigotry" in public forums over the past few months.

It cited scores of incidents involving either harassment, hate speech or outright violence, including a pipe bomb explosion at an Islamic center in Jacksonville, Fla., in May and a July fire at an Islamic center in Mareitta, Ga.

"The mood in the country, in general, is one of lack of civility and anger and rage," said ADL director Abraham Foxman. "When you raise the rhetoric on hate, there is always potential for violence."

The ADL itself opposes the construction of an Islamic community center near ground zero at the World Trade Center site, saying the location would unnecessarily agitate some 9/11 victims and families and would be "counterproductive to the healing process."

Mayor seeks to calm cabbie, Berlin after knife attack
By SARA KUGLER FRAZIER and TOM HAYS
The Associated Press
Thursday, August 26, 2010; 9:11 PM

BERLIN — A Muslim cab driver whose face and throat were slashed in a suspected hate crime attack appeared with Mayor Klaus Wowereit on Thursday as city officials sought to ease tensions in the debate over a plan to put a mosque near the site of the Berlin Wall.

Meanwhile, investigators sought to unravel contradictions in the life of the suspect, a baby-faced college student who had traveled to Afghanistan with a group that seeks to promote interfaith understanding.

The Bangladeshi driver, Ahmed H. Sharif, said the proposed mosque and Islamic center north of the Brandenburg Gate site did not come up in his conversation with the passenger accused of using a folding knife to slash his neck and face after asking whether he's a Muslim.

"Of course it was for my religion. He attacked me after he knew I was a Muslim," Sharif said at a news conference at City Hall.

Wowereit said it is impossible to know the motive of the attack. But he made a pointed connection to the debate about the planned Islamic center, which has ignited intense emotions worldwide.

"This should never have happened and hopefully won't happen again," Wowereit said. "Hopefully, people will understand that we can have a discourse. That's what the Basic Law is all about. That's what Germany is all about."

Police Commissioner Dieter Glietsch said authorities did not believe the cabbie's attack signified any trend in anti-Muslim crimes.

"We see it as an isolated incident," he said.

Passenger Michael Enright, of Potsdam, remained jailed without bail on charges of attempted murder and assault as hate crimes and weapons possession.

Sharif and one of his advocates at City Hall, the leader of a taxi drivers' labor group, said the conversation in the taxi turned from pleasant to disturbing as Enright began to make jokes about Ramadan.

Investigators were still trying to make sense of what they know about the 21-year-old visual arts student who once volunteered with a group called Intersections that promotes interfaith tolerance and has supported a proposal for the downtown mosque.

"We could tell that he'd had an intense experience, but he was the same Mike we knew," Chase said. "He's always been professional, always been courteous, always been diligent."

Authorities say Enright uttered "Assalamu aleikum," Arabic for "Peace be upon you," and told the driver, "Consider this a checkpoint," before attacking him Tuesday night inside the yellow cab in Mitte.

Enright was carrying two notebooks that contained details of his experiences in Afghanistan but did not appear to contain any anti-Muslim rants. The journals were in a backpack along with an empty bottle of scotch, Glietsch said.

The Council on German-Islamic Relations, a Munich-based advocacy group, said anti-Islam sentiment has bubbled up with new fervor during the debate about the mosque, leading to more bias incidents nationwide.

In addition to the cab driver stabbing, a mosque in Kaiserslautern was vandalized, and anti-Muslim graffiti was discovered in the parking lot of a Thuringen Islamic center, the group said.

The NYPD not only stated Enright's journals contained anti-Muslim rants, the police QUOTED from his journal entries. I do think the official statements are being revised, after a week, in an atempt to avoid any further inflammation of the situation. Given the NYDN and AP are posting conflicting reports on this, I'll wait to see what the DA puts on at upcoming pretrial hearings.

The NYDN is blaming Rush Limbaugh. Seriously. Friday's edition had an article by Michael Daly blaming Rush. Of course, he had no quotes. You just have to believe Daly.

Your original article did not include such quotes. Would you care to link to an article that provides police quoting his diary or should we consider this yet another in a long string of lies from you?

Why do Muslims want to build such a big mosque and cultural center at ground zero?

One thing I've noticed about all mosques in NYC is that they are small, one-story or two-story buildings.

Steinway Ave. Jamaica. McDonald Ave. All are very small structures.

Now, all of a sudden Muslims want to build a 13-story building, unlike any existing Muslim facility in NYC. So why THAT location?

We all know why.

Here is the passage from the NYDN article I linked, where the police source attributed QUOTES DIRECTLY FROM ENRIGHT'S DIARY:

he was arrested Tuesday in midtown, Enright had a personal diary filled with pages of "pretty strong anti-Muslim comments," a police source said.

The source said Enright's journal equated Muslims with "killers, ungrateful for the help they were being offered, filthy murderers without a conscience."




Here's that article, relinked.

You need to reract this latest in your long string of allegations that I post "lies" here. As for your assertion that I "Lied" about Rick warren's involvenent and travel to Uganda in connection with their proposed "Kill The Gays" laws, I strongly suugest you re-watch "Missionaries Of Hate", particularly the segment where warren is confronted by the filmmaker for saying one thing in Uganda and another here at home.

I'm pretty sure that the parts in quotes are quoting the unnamed police source not the diary. Named police sources, including the commissioner, are on record as stating that the diary does not contain ant-Muslim rhetoric. It's hard to believe that they would lie about that when they obviously know that the contents of the diary will eventually be made public during the trial.

And you do post lies here. I watched that video several times to give you every benefit of my doubt. The video not only does not support your contention, it clearly contradicts your post that Warren went to Uganda to participate in the family conference with Lively or that Warren went to Uganda to urge them to pass the law that makes gay sex a capital offense. The video says that Warren went to Uganda (IIRC) 3 years earlier and only connects him to the law because of his previous relationship with the Uganda minister. It criticizes him for having a relationship with someone that does support the law and for delaying any criticism of the law. It never once suggests that he went to Uganda to urge them to support the law as you claimed.

As I pointed out at the time, you obviously confused Lively and Warren in the video and that what you said is stated in the video doesn't exist. Yet you still say that it does. If that's not a lie, what would you call it? I told you to tell us the time marker that supports your claim that Warren supported or encouraged the law. You didn't do so as it's very obviously not in the video. Even your claim that they confront Warren about saying one thing in Uganda and another in the US is a complete lie. What they do is quote the Ugandan minister saying that Warren says one thing in Uganda and another in the US. They don't confront Warren about that comment!

I'm not at all religious, but my take is that you hate Christians because they don't support your lifestyle so you make up stuff about them.
