    “ok, here’s one,
    who came first
    David Lee Roth
    or
    Sammy Hagar?
    lol”

    That reminds me:

    I was listening to “Stairway to Heaven” on the subway this morning for the first time in like 2 years and misremembered at what part the drums come in.

    haha – not until like 45 minutes into the song

  2. slopefarm,
    and you are framing your counter-argument on a false premise.
    I am not attempting to deny the Mosque it’s right to
    build there.

    I am calling it out on the following:

    -Cultural insensitivity to location.

    -Scope inconsistent with the solemn and tragic
    nature of the site.

    -Questionable motives behind the sympolism of
    opening a 13 story Mosque on the 10th anniversary
    of 9/11.

    …and if you don’t think that the image of a 13 story mosque overlooking the pit of the WTC will not be played for full effect by radical islamist recruiters, you too are playing at appeasement.

  4. I’m in agreement that countries with a large Muslim population and the obvious problems that they have with terrorism entrenched within their borders, are not doing enough. These are places like Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan (the obvious ones) but also places like The Philippines and Indonesia.

    Since this is a “religious war” and all of the fatwahs, etc have invoked a religious tone, then yes, it is somewhat up to the rest of the practicing Muslim world to lend more support in this instead of turning the blind eye that oftentimes seems so apparent.

    If you’re not with us you’re against us and if you’re not part of the solution, then you’re part of the problem.
