$100 Million Mega Mosque in Lanham, Maryland

[Mustang]

Turkey?s Islamist Govt. Building Mega Mosque in US
Most Americans probably don’t realize that Turkey’s Islamist government is building a colossal mosque in the United States with the input of several branches of a group known as the parent organization of Hamas and al Qaeda.

It’s an alarming story unlikely to receive coverage in the mainstream media, however, a nonprofit dedicated to exposing the dangers of Islamic extremism has posted information about the project on its website. The $100 million mega mosque will be erected in Lanham Maryland and is expected to “become the largest and most striking example of Islamic architecture in the western hemisphere” when it is finished in 2014. (photos and details here)

The massive facility, which will be called Turkish American Culture and Civilization Center, will span 15 acres and will feature five buildings, including a mosque “constructed using sixteenth century Ottoman architecture that can hold 750 worshipers.” It will be a place that will help counter an epidemic of “Islamophobia” in the United States, according to Turkish government officials who recently visited the construction site. The delegation was led by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose goals include increasing Islamist influence in America.

Greeting Erdogan, who is transforming Turkey from a secular democracy to an Islamist state, on his recent visit to Maryland were leaders of two entities of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of Hamas and al Qaeda. They include Naeem Baig, president of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

...of which this thread (and the original story mysteriously written, it seems, not by a person, but apparently attributed only to an organization by the name of 'Judicial Watch') are two more examples.

At this point in time, I wish some conservative person or group would send out questionnaires to conservatives asking them what they thought were their top 10 fears (a smaller, more manageable number seems, frankly, unrealistic). People could choose from a list of about 100 items with an allowance for 3 write in entries. Then the list could be collated to list the top 10 or 20 vote-getters.

Then who posted the OP with your name?

I posted the title from the title in the news article. That was not my call but the author. Get it yet??? - Jeri

So to recap.... you saw this headline, you knew it was bullshit, and you posted it anyway.

That about it?

I knew Turkey was a democracy and the author said Islamist. Before I put it up. YES.

I went with title as he stated it - that is rules of USMB by the way - I don't get to correct the author and revise his articles due to copyright issues. Do you finally get it now??!!

Freedom is a bitch, aint it. You can’t be free and then limit the freedoms of others; it does not work that way. For every freedom that you limit in others, you limit it for yourself as well.

When there is a religion whose primary tenet is the murder of others, yes you will absolutely have opposition.

What happen to you waving around the constitution now?

The Constitution does not protect an article and doctrine designed to overthrow it and replace it with Sharia Law.

The issue is with how Islam is classified.

Actually, it does. The constitution protects all speech and religion that you might want to engage in, even if it is one that wants to replace the basic tenants of the constitution itself. Now, if they are inciting violence and planning illegal acts, you have another case but that is not going on here atm. All that is happening is that outside groups are helping place a mosque in America. I consider it a beautiful thing that they even have that freedom. That is what makes this a great nation.

There is not issue with how Islam is classified BTW. It is clearly a religion and there is nothing that you can do about that.

Good. Pork is bad for you anyway.

Its such a tasty meat and so easy to cook, its going to be tough. I'm not ready to even start on giving up alcohol, smokes and dancing yet.

bacon is the candy of meats

And it does not count. PERIOD!!!

If they take away my bacon, there is going to be hell to pay dammit.

Islamist. Can you read? The government of Turkey are comprised of Muslim people. Does that break it down for you enough? - Jeri

And ...... that makes an "Islamist government"?

So that means we have a "Judeo-Christianist government"?
Does Norway have a "Lutheranist government"?
Does Scotland have a "Presbyteriaist government"?
etc etc etc....

Hey! Take it up with the author of the article itself. It is his words, not mine. I'm taking a guess as to why he chose word Islamist - who knows? Stop straining a gnat to swallow a camel and examine why the Mosque is getting their input from parent orgs of Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood how about it? Now there's a novel idea for you! The issue is not Mosque, size of mosque, issue is who they are hooking up with! My gosh! Do I have to spell everything out for some of you? Why is that? READ! - Jeri

The author is not here. You are here though and YOU posted this for review. Yu want us to discuss the claims that the article makes BUT when there are obvious factual errors, the entire supposition of the article is in question. If the author cannot get the very public and very easy to identify Turkish government correct then it is really doubtful that the content of that article is anywhere near factual.

Even if it is though, it is meaningless. The freedoms that you have exist only because they are extended to all.

Top ten fears of alleged "conservatives":

1. Barack Obama, aka "Maobama", aka Barack HUSSEIN Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Sortero, aka Barry Sotero, aka Barack Osama, aka Socialist.

2. A birth certificate proving Obama was born here.

3. Ragheads.

4. Darkies.

5. Mexicans.

6. Homos.

7. An angry homosexual black Muslim on food stamps who votes.

8. Running out of batteries halfway through an Alex Jones broadcast.

9. No one knocking on their door to confiscate their guns.

10. Being quizzed on the Constitution or US History.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

You have hung yourself up on a simple word "Islamist" which was used by the author at Judicial Watch. It has no effect whatsoever on the report of this Mosque receiving input by orgs tied to hamas and muslim brotherhood. ( both terrorist organizations ) Why does it not have an effect?

Because the question you pose does not concern Judicial Watch reputation and credibility but rather whether the writer was aware islamist would not be best choice of words for describing Turkish gov.

So long as the writer has given an accurate account of the relationship between Mosque and terrorist Groups his typo whether by mistake or purpose is non - issue and is therefore irrelevant. Understand? - Jeri

- Jeri

Nope.

I come across bullshit articles all the time, even when not introduced on this board. I've read the USMB rules and I'm pretty sure nobody is required to post bullshit articles.

Maybe I missed something though. Feel free to quote the rule that says you do.

And reading comprehension II: what you're not allowed to revise is other posters' words. You can make your link say anything you want. I rarely ever keep a headline verbatim. I make it applicable to the topic.

And when it's a bullshit article, I get really wild and .... decline to post it at all.
Guess I'm just a rebel.

Remind me to introduce you to some posters who've made a career out of the idea that guns don't shoot themselves. I'm sure they'll be fascinated to see these articles that post themselves.

There should probably be an entry for "unconstitutional stuff" on the list somewhere.

Frankly, I wonder what the chances are of just showing up at traffic court and finding some conservative who tries to get out of paying a traffic fine based on his contention that it's unconstitutional. I ask because these days it seems as if EVERYTHING conservatives don't like manages (sooner rather than later) to get classified as unconstitutional.

It's not a typo. It's a major mistake of fact. When an author does that it reveals his own bias' and when he lets it go, it reveals his beliefs. It makes one question the veracity of what ever he wrote. A typo simply makes one laugh and read on .... this not so much.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Coyote, if the author's choice of words in his title troubles you so much why not give him the opportunity for stating his reason for using it? You are trashing his story, his investigation on the premise of a typo?

Seriously??!

Come on!

Islam is the religion of peace and muslims are all nice people.

Just ask the Swedish.

Islam is the religion of peace and muslims are all nice people.

Just ask the Swedish.

Same could be said for Israel and Palestine. Since we forming opinions based on what the people who don't like that group says about them

You are comparing SWEDEN to PALESTINE? Really?

Hey all those Swedish better give back those occupied territories then.

Yes both have enemies and you choose to believe the opinion of the enemy. Whats the problem? Unfair you say?

Fairness is the very last thing to be considered. Fairness would say that every time a suicide bomber kills a bunch of people, an equal number of people from the bombers friends and family be executed. That's fair.

Other than that, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If you think the Swedish, who gave muslims everything, except the loyalty of the Swedish people, deserve to be killed, or have their property destroyed, that's something else all together. The Swedes have a very high gun ownership rate. They just need to use it.

 

[Katzndogz]

Actually, for the number of people killed in an attack, taking an equal number of friends and/or family of a suicide bomber and summarily executing them would put an end to such attacks.

Okay, Coyote. I tell you what. I will contact Judicial Watch and ask the guy what he meant by using Islamist instead of Democrat for the Turkish Government! Will that make you happy? It better. I'll be back. - Jeri

Sounds like you are advocating that Swedes go out and shoot Muslims.

That's alot of nonsense and you know it, Bocedea.
