#1 And if you build it, it will embolden them and they will attack.

#3 I posted a little thought on Breibert Big Peace.
So basically the message is:

"We'll hold your nation hostage until you do what we want."

The typcial terrorist response that he is essentially endorsing.

#4 Build it or not, if they get a chance, they're still gonna hit us. And then what, Mr. Holy Man? Can we tear it down?
Sorry, snake eyes. No sale.

#5 Let them build it, but only if they use all union labor (to stimulate the NY economy) and Egyptian or Pakistani (or/and Mob) cement (so it will fall down as soon as it's finished.)

No legal way to stop it but I wish we could, to re-send them Bush's message - 'Bring it on.'

#7 Ground Zero Mosque Iman: If You Don’t Build It, They Will Attack

Sounds like a threat to me.
Why is this "Agent of the Taliban" Under the jail right now?

#8 "The battlefront is between moderates of all sides… and the radicals on all sides,” he said.

Imam Rauf is making a moral equivalence judgement between violent Islamic extremists and those that question the wisdom of the GZM. His assertion is both groups are of equal stature. Both groups are “radicals” grounded in hate. His wife made a simmilar statement in that those that oppose the GZM were not simply phobic but have a “Hatred for Islam”. Regardless of the outcome, Rauf is provoking a self-fulfilling prophecy – and it ain’t good.

#9 the headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack.

So, nothing will change, then?

#10 Tell you what. We will let you build it and the VERY FIRST time we have a terrorist attack on ANY US installation or an ally, we put all of you clerics and imans in it and burn it to the ground.

Then turn it into a pig farm.

Deal?

#11 Whatever you do to appease the Muslims they will still hate you.

#12 Why can't we just tell him to get his ass out of our country?

#13 Paul2, you hit the nail with, "appease." Appeasement doesn't work. Tyrants love appeasement.

#14 Guys, guys, come on now. What we need is a compromise. Why not let them build the mosque. That will make both muslims and liberals happy and the radicals angry. Then we can run planes into it. That would make good Americans happy and liberals and radicals angry. Heck, we'll even give them warning so they can empty the buildings and no radicals (and sympathetic liberals) will be killed. That will make the liberals happy, and good Americans and radicals angry.

Yeesh. Do I have to think of everything?

#15 For a arguement for peace his choice of words sure are ladled with conflict emotions, such as the use of battlefront instead of forum. Tells me all I need to know.

#16 more horse-shit moral equivalency from the hyper-sensitive cry-baby religion...GFY Rauf.

#17 Translation:
'Nice country you got here, and nice people traveling all over the world.
It'd be a shame if something bad were to happen...

Now if you give up but a tiny bit of Earth and Water...
(And forget about that Muslim Gay Bar business too!)'

The mask is slipping.

#18 It is not that we hate Islam in particular, Raufie. It's that general Jeffersonian hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of Man. We are talking about a 'religion' that hates women, dogs and gays. As a reasonable man, I'm willing to spot you one, or even two of those beliefs. But all three? Sorry, but y'all just suck. We will save for another day the discussion of how Sharia law stands in opposition to the set of principles that make us American - the Constitution of the United States.

#19 Build it or not, if they get a chance, they're still gonna hit us. And then what, Mr. Holy Man?

He'll spin it that we had it coming/deserved it/chickens...home...roosting...

You know he will.

As I recall, Infidel, he did exactly that after 9/11/2001.

#21 Yes, he did say we had it just days after the towers fell, on CBS television. He is not a man with good intentions, other than making a buck off Americans that can just die in his book.
