This report ran in the local Sunday paper. I hope for more demonstrations like this one in a time of such divisiveness. A pledge to unite on ninth anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks Residents of diverse faiths gather in solidarity at Mosque of Nasreen By AnnMarie Cornejo Read more: http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2010/09/12/1284986/a-pledge-to-unite-on-ninth-anniversary.html#ixzz0zQNfQZRQ As Americans across the nation bowed their heads Saturday in remembrance of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks nine years ago, Central Coast residents of diverse faiths assembled in solidarity at the San Luis Obispo Mosque of Nasreen. Some local leaders hope the gathering of more than 100 people will spark a larger movement to look beyond anti-Islamic bigotry and anger surfacing throughout the country. “We meet today on a somber and heavy day — our hearts are pressed together under the weight of 3,000 souls who passed away on this day nine years ago,” said Rushdi Abdul Cader, a local emergency physician and Muslim who organized the event. People belonging to Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and Muslim congregations stood shoulder-to-shoulder in a courtyard outside the mosque. During a moment of silence, friends, neighbors and strangers gathered close in thought and prayer for what was lost nine years ago and for what people still find precious in their lives. Paul Wolff, a local architect and professor emeritus at Cal Poly, recalled having stones thrown at him by his German friends when he was 9 years old and fleeing for his life in Nazi Germany. “I was no longer Paul,” he said. “I was a Jew.” Wolff said that people must unite to build bridges of tolerance and fight against apathy to prevent such tragedies as the Holocaust from happening again. “The climate is ripe for bigotry and racism today,” Wolff said. “This is our chance to unite and build sturdy bridges of tolerance, and our Muslim community is creating a foundation for this.” http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2010/09/12/1284986/a-pledge-to-unite-on-ninth-anniversary.html

Calling it divisive when 80% are tired of Islamic radicals getting their way is like saying it's a controversial issue when 80% oppose Illegal Immigration. In a country where we are supposed to have the right to an opinion, you are never going to have higher numbers in agreement than that.

Until they allow freedom of religion in all the Middle East countries, with no exceptions, no harassment, and no mysterious disappearances of Christians, then we should ban all muslim immigration. We should also start a petition to comedy central urging them to make fun of muslims just as they make fun of Christians, and Mormons. We have to stand up to these people. Their religion is not to be excluded from criticism any more than anyone else's.

When did it switch from, "He's only after the Jews" and "Let's give him Poland to satisfy him" to "This is a problem"

I remember sleeping through the course, which is probably why i am as confused about some of this politically correct hogwash.

Maybe if you had paid attention and had a bit more of a clue about how history unfolded as it did (and, indeed, what actually happened) people wouldn't be taking the piss out of you now?

isn't forcing yourself on someone who is not open to your advances considered harassment or rape?

You dont have a clue about history, so start spouting nonsense. You stated in post 8 quote: When did it switch from, "He's only after the Jews" and "Let's give him Poland to satisfy him" to "This is a problem" Here is a clue, Britain and France declared war BECAUSE Germany invaded Poland.

Those Germans who weren't Nazis tolerated the armed thugs who ran the country, accepted the fact that the Nazis had all the power, and acquiesced to anything Hitler wanted. Or else get sent to den Konzentrationslagere.
