I had posted my blog post I made on Aug 18, which included a video and petition opposing construction of a mosque near the WTC, to several mailing lists and newsgroups I am on. It seems that more people agreed with construction than I thought. Most criticism comes from a Catholic Yahoo group, where many claim “hate speech” and a violation of Jesus Christ’s command to love your enemies. I watched the video several times, as did my family, and there was nothing “hateful” about it. Others felt it was discriminatory due to past violence by Christians not resulting in protest if a church was built in that area.

Paleolibertarian anarcho-capitalist blogger Lew Rockwell supports the mosque on private property rights grounds, and Catholic blogger Mark Shea compares the phenomenon to restrictions on protests against Planned Parenthood.

Islam is a highly dangerous threat to the world right now. Material is being censored and people are dying simply by pointing out the negative portions of the religion. Past Christian violence was due to poor decision making by corrupt officials, and the spread of religion through force is not commanded anywhere in the Bible. God-sanctioned violence from the Jewish people in the Old Testament is often quoted in opposition to this – these are specific battles and are not a command for all Jews or Christians to spread the religion through force. Christian leaders frequently apologize for their past acts of violence, yet Islam refuses to apologize and continues their violence, following the Quran’s command to spread theocracy. These verses still exist and regardless of whether the Muslim is peaceful or a terrorist, Allah in the Quran commands the spread of theocracy through violence.

I love my enemies, Muslim or not. I’ve known Muslims in college, had been friends with some, and they weren’t my enemies at all. But I don’t have to agree with them or support what they do.

More people need to reject the political correctness and theft of culture the Left-wing Establishment forces on people and pay attention to what is going on.

UPDATE: Here is a statement from Catholic New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, arguing for peaceful compromise, such as moving the mosque somewhere else. He cites an effort by JPII to move a convent which was near Auschwitz.
