#1 "Militant Islam Monitor also says ICNA recently held a conference at Liberty Bell Park in Philidelpha..."

He's using the name to pull our chain. "Liberty Bell Park" became "Keystone Park" in 1974 and then "Philadelphia Park" sometime around the mid-80's. It's a horse track that will rent conference space to anyone that wants a room.

#2 I thought having fun was considered un-Islamic.

#3 I hope Six Flags also reserved the following 6 days for the park to be throughly searched for arms and explosives by law enforcement.

And yes, I am doing religious (not racial) profiling....

#4 To accommodate their Mooslim guests, some of the attractions were going to be renamed, or adjusted.

For example: the Whirli-Gig is now the “Whirling Dervish”, in the Fun House, the air compressor is cranked up to the max in order to lift a burka waist high, the Flashback shows the Twin Towers pre and post 9-11, Bumper Cars come with mini explosives, and the Roaring Rapids is now the Sand Dunes Slide, while the “House of Horrors” is the House of 72 Virgins.

Hurry…hurry…hurry! Step right up and get your tickets!

#5 I think they're well within their rights to book the park for an entire day. During the internet boom years, a well-known investment firm did an employees-only booking at the local Great Adventure. It wasn't restricted to people of one religion, but it was an exclusive booking. Think of this as a religious outing, just like one of those Campus Crusades that evangelicals conduct from time to time. I don't really see any harm in this kind of outdoor fun. Better this than parading outside with simulated suicide bomb belts.

#6 I'm far more concerned when Muslim proselytization extends into our textbooks. But booking venues for functions isn't anything to get worked up about.

#7 OOPS! There's another one;

The Suicide-belt Slide for Life. No EXIT ramp required.

#8 I dont have a problem with them booking it for a day either - even exclusively. As long as the park remains safe afterwards. I would feel the same if the DNC or CBS reserved the park.

Oh and add the 'Schoolchildren Target Shoot' and rename the 'Fun House' the 'House of Rape' (I'm sure the Sudanese Governmen would be proud to sponsor it)....

#9 Booking the park exclusively is no big deal.

The connections to terrorism? thats a big deal.

My only other concern would be any attempts to force park employees to dress 'islamically correct" especially if it was hot. It just wouldn't be fair.

#10 And yes, I am doing religious (not racial) profiling....

Apparently, so was Six Flags:

But Nauser told WND that before Six Flags booked the group, they received an okay from the local FBI.

Think they do that for Passover?

I wonder when KKK Day is.

#11 Think they do that for Passover?

I must have missed the news articles about the dreaded Hebrew Jihad. Care to enlighten me, or are you content to make snarky comments that suggest that one group is the same as the other?

#12 ...are you content to make snarky comments that suggest that one group is the same as the other?

I could be content to let sarcasm sail serenely over your head, but: I want to know whether Six Flags religiously profiled the Muslim group when they checked with the FBI. I think they did. I approve of this step. But it's the kind of thing many people would not approve of, and I'm a little surprised Six Flags admitted it.

#13 I can't see the wrong here that would upset so many people and cause the backlash. There are millions of Muslims in the USA and the greatest number are law abiding, hard working and strongly patriotic Americans. Go to Detroit and see for yourself. But they do have a problem within their religion that they alone can solve. Much like the Catholics with paederest priests and militant Irish apologists as well as the same for the likes of Rev. Ian Paisley. Muslims are not the problem - radical Islam is.

#14 Well, not to be a party pooper--but . . .

I think our ethnocentricity is showing. We want to be good ol' Americans and say "sure, have a fun day with your group-bring the family--the kids--invite your neighbors”! And frankly, I wish we could park it there--and I would, too, except that the Islamic Circle of North America and the Muslim American Society boldly proclaimed:

"First Time Ever – All Day – Entire Park Exclusively for Muslims!" This is a real coup de tat for them. That's how they see it. They want to make inroads into the infrastructure of America and American life and redefine it. The fact that they are BOASTING about it is the dead giveaway. (Anybody remember the stories of muslim groups buying up property and opening schools and mosques and building neighborhoods just for themselves? It’s all a part of their concept of “jihad” and focuses on infiltration, proselytizing, fund-raising, gaining power and influence in local politics, and scouting for jihadi trainees.)

Additionally, the same group that’s sponsoring the Six Flags event has ties to Hamas, and also sponsored an event that:

1) featured a main speaker who voiced empathy and support for suicide bombers

2) denied that Muslims were involved in 9-11

3) characterized the war on terror as a conspiratorial Zionist plot designed to destroy Islam and Muslims

4) blamed attacks on affirmative action on "the rise of the Jewish cracker"

5) held a conference that “urged youths to join a Jihad training camp to educate the youth and provide them with the proper understanding of the concept of Jihad."

Hmmmm. Five "pillar-like" reasons to be very suspicious, and it certainly sounds like a bit more than the annual “Campus Crusade Family Day at Six Flags,” to me. But I sure wish they could settle down and just be “regular folks,” don’t you?

#17 Since Six Flags agreed to this insanity why not go all the way and have 'Blow Up America Day' or one better and longer 'National or International Jihad Fun Week'. Get the lunatics coming in world-wide.

The management at Six Flags should be called on the carpet on this one. Selling out your country for the sake of a admission ticket? Some people have no morals what-so-ever.

#18 How about something as simple
Feel Safe! It's No Muslims Day!

#19 Shipman: How about something as simple Feel Safe! It's No Muslims Day!

I find this gathering kind of strange, because these functions (among non-Muslim organizations) are generally pitched as a way to encourage togetherness. These guys are pitching it as a place where there are no non-Muslims, as if non-Muslims were somehow unclean. I don't have a problem with the function, but think the guys promoting it are real head cases.
