#1 "I've heard professionals say that nowhere ever in history did a steel building come down with fire alone,"

Bring your own physics and engineering rules! They're not universal, you know! You don't have to understand it, just be pretending to quote an expert who does! Make sure to make the authorities in your argument-by-authority anonymous for extra points....

#2 Imam Intikab Habib, 30, a native of Guyana who studied Islam in Saudi Arabia

Well, what a surprise!

So when's Hamas getting a rabbi as a chaplain?
What PC bulllshit! When are the FDNY Druids getting their guy? How about the Wiccans, the Moonies, the Scientologists?

#4 So, how many Muslims in FDNY? Six? I'd guess more if it were NYPD, but as I understand it, FDNY is exceedingly white - there's less than 400 blacks on the payroll. [I did the numbers, and I figure that if the department matches the general population, there's about fifteen black Muslims, plus however many white converts and any Asian born-that-ways. Say about 20?]

I'm willing to bet that at least some sort of incident occurs. What a massively boneheaded appointment.

#5 I'd love to know who he thinks was behind it. Press him on this and you'd get a combination of Bush and Mossad.

"There are many conflicting reports"

er, no, there aren't. binny confessed. any "conflicting reports" are simply products of islamonazis seeking to blame others.

I hope there's a real backlash in the FDNY against this a$$wipe.

#6 This, and many other things from Dhimmi watch, convinces me that the Mythical Moderate Muslim is mostly, well, mythical.

Given the people I've known in my rank and files crappy works, almost all of the muslims I discussed with were muslim and/or algerian, tunisian,... (I'm talking about normal, IE not homeboys nor thugs, born in France from french parents) first, and had a muslim-centered worldview alien to "western one", complete with conspiracy theory ("the israelis bomb themselves to blame islam", said to me by a mild mannered, very nice comorean cook)...

I'm sorry, but I really have to question the allegiance, my personal if bigoted opinion being that if you're a "good" muslim, you're obligatory muslim first (this is often combined with being arab, since arabs are by defintion the islamic Master Race).

Only a "bad" (that is secular) muslim can shift his allegiance to another entity such as the USA, the FDNY,... and if you add the fact that any "bad" muslim can re-islamize himself by going back to the texts (and so to jihad), and that most of the "secular" muslims are in fact attentists and follower, anything more than a small muslim presence in an org or a country is hazardous for its coherence.

For example, there are now 10-20% muslims in new professional french army, with up to 30-40% in combat units such as paratroopers, and this pose many problems... not to mention the fact that a survey found that only 1 in ten muslim young men would fight for France, and that many would certainly not fight against "their" country (Algeria, Morocco,..., even if they are 3rd generation).
And the same goes for the belgian army, which had to re-incorporate (due to political pressure) mulsim soldiers ousted because they precisely said they wouldn't fight for Belgium or against a muslim country.

But perhaps I'm doing generalization?

#9 Please go here:

http://nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mailfdny.html

Write a letter of complaint to Nicholas Scopetta, fire commissioner. Urge him to fire/dismiss this idiot, whose foul views are an insult to the memory of the firefighters who died trying to save residents of my city.

#11 Odd, isn't it, that this fellow was recommended by the Muslims in the FDNY?

#12 It never fails to amaze me that the Islamic mind can put Bin Laden up as a hero for successfully attacking the great Satan and then in the next breath say that it was all an inside attack.

It really is no wonder they act crazy, because many of them have short-circuited themselves.

#16 Resigned like a former FEMA Director. I if it was the higher up's who pushed this or the fact no firehouse in NYC would take this Douchebag in?

#17 He should leave the US on his own. Too many widows and orphans from that day know either where he lives, or are going to find out, and want to pay him a visit in order to have a little "talk" with him..

#18 Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta: "Based on comments he made to Newsday, Imam Intikab Habib would have been unable to effectively serve in the role he was appointed to."

Understatement of the year

But what the heck! Let's all hold hands and sing a few choruses of KUMBAY-YA. Get those nasty politically incorect thoughts out of our heads, regarding raising more questions about Islam and this Religion of Peace stuff...

#19 Hasn't the FDNY put up with enough Islamoshit without putting up with this nimrod?

#21 He's the one that holds the axe. They swing so it sticks in his head, and he holds the axe til they need it.

What? I wasn't supposed to tell anyone that? Well dammit, no I didn't get the memo!

#23 Well that was fast. Story comes out in the morning and imam Ostrich is out by noon. Good job NYC. Now deport his ass to Guyana or, preferably, Saudi.
