Amy Goodman: Mosque-Issippi Burning - Truthdig : "There is another hole that needs to be filled, namely, the absence of people in the U.S. in leadership positions in every walk of life, of every political stripe, speaking out for freedom of religion and against racism. As the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Does anyone seriously say that there shouldn’t be a Christian church near the site of the Oklahoma City bombing, just because Timothy McVeigh was a Christian? People who are against hate are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but are a silenced majority. They are silenced by the chattering classes, who are driving this debate throughout the media. Hate breeds violence. Marginalizing an entire population, an entire religion, is not good for our country.

Governor seeks 9/11 mosque talks - Americas, World - The Independent : "The governor of New York, David Paterson, is seeking face-to-face talks with the Imam and developer who are behind plans to build a new Muslim community centre and mosque close to Ground Zero in lower Manhattan with the hope of persuading them to build elsewhere. Mr Paterson, a Democrat who is not seeking re-election and leaves office at the end of this year, means to defuse a controversy that has abruptly taken over political conversation in the US and threatens to linger as a highly polarising issue in the run-up to midterm congressional elections in November. A spokesman confirmed that the Governor, who has already expressed his view that the centre should be moved away from the 9/11 site, is hoping for talks. 'We are working with the developers on a staff level,' said Morgan Hook. 'However, we expect to have a meeting scheduled in the near future.' - Sent using Google Toolbar"

Dem Leaders Join in Condemnation of ‘Ground Zero Mosque’ -- News from Antiwar.com : "With a number of Republicans hoping to make political hay out of President Obama’s brief expression of conditional support for the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, Democratic leaders are looking to jump on the bandwagon as well, publicly condemning the construction of the community center on “hallowed ground.” Top Democrat Howard Dean condemned the mosque as a “real affront,” joining Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D – NV), who condemned it yesterday. Dean said he was open to the idea of the mosque being opened somewhere else. - Sent using Google Toolbar"

The Christian Fascists Are Growing Stronger : Information Clearing House - ICH : "Tens of millions of Americans, lumped into a diffuse and fractious movement known as the Christian right, have begun to dismantle the intellectual and scientific rigor of the Enlightenment. They are creating a theocratic state based on “biblical law,” and shutting out all those they define as the enemy. This movement, veering closer and closer to traditional fascism, seeks to force a recalcitrant world to submit before an imperial America. It champions the eradication of social deviants, beginning with homosexuals, and moving on to immigrants, secular humanists, feminists, Jews, Muslims and those they dismiss as “nominal Christians”—meaning Christians who do not embrace their perverted and heretical interpretation of the Bible. Those who defy the mass movement are condemned as posing a threat to the health and hygiene of the country and the family. All will be purged. The followers of de...
