Crazy Crap Thanks to Republicans in Legislature, Murfreesboro Mosque Looks Like Done Deal
Posted by Jeff Woods on Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 6:37 PM
- This will look great next to the Tastee Freez in Murfreesboro.
Who knew Islam is a religion too? Apparently not state Sen. Jim Tracy, one of the sponsors of the Religious Freedom Act. He's in a tight spot now as he's running for Congress in the Sixth District against Lou Ann Zelenik, who already has staked out her position in her campaign as a fierce hater of Muslims. Another Republican candidate in the race, state Sen. Diane Black, voted for the bill too.
Rutherford County planning officials learned of this little dilemma at a meeting with lawyers this week. "At the end of the day, we can't look at a mosque any differently than we do for a Church of Christ or Baptist church," planning commissioner Will Jordan said. What's the world coming to?
But there are Muslim pamphlets that promote killing, one commissioner sputtered. "Isn't that our Bible?" responded fellow Planning Commissioner Vincent Windrow, a pastor at Olive Branch Missionary Baptist Church.

Equality of religion and the law of unintended consequences are both beautiful things.
What's even funnier is that the state law was unnecessary - there's already a federal law that does the same thing. So the Republican pander, which will come back to bite them, didn't even really do anything.
First of all I wish all the ignorant and uninformed idiots would shut up!! Islam is an ideology like nazism, marxism and satanism!!! All those isms have a close relationship to Islam! They all advocate killing anyone who doesn't agree with them.
Oh, so Christians have never advocated killing anyone who didn't agree with them? That whole Crusades thing is just a myth? And the Spanish Inquisition? Oh wait, that last one was Christians killing other Christians and the odd Jew ... guess that doesn't count. Onward Christian Soldiers, indeed.
Saudi Arabia is reportedly funding a lot of the new mosque "mission" building across the United States. Perhaps by the next session of the Tennessee General Assembly, TNGA members could do away with the stupid Tennessee laws prohibiting retail liquor stores from being located within 1,000 feet of a church...then the locals would be free to petition city/county to zone the entire area for liquor stores.

You failed to include domestic Christian religious tyranny here in colonial British America.
Hitler's Christianity
http://nobeliefs.com/Hitler1.htm
To deny the influence of Christianity on Hitler and its role in World War II, means that you must ignore history and forever bar yourself from understanding the source of German anti-Semitism and how the WWII atrocities occurred.
By using historical evidence of Hitler's and his henchmen's own words, this section aims to show how mixing religion with politics can cause conflicts, not only against religion but against government and its people. This site, in no way, condones Nazism, Neo-Nazism, fascist governments, or anti-Semitism, but instead, warns against them.

[The German words, "Gott Mit Uns" means God With Us and appeared on many Nazi soldiers belt buckles during WWII. To see the buckle, click http://nobeliefs.com/mementoes.htm.]
Would this be the same Senators Diane Black and Jim Tracy who repeatedly voted with Ron Ramsey for Governor to break the constitutional Copeland Cap by hundreds of millions of dollars?
Would this be the same Senators Diane Black and Jim Tracy who voted for many millions of Bredesen's Tax Hikes? That is until this year when a Congressional seat opened up and they suddenly had a come-to-Jesus moment.
Of course, Fib Back with Diane Black had to flip-flop from her YES vote for breaking the Copeland Cap in Senate Finance Committee this year to vote NAY with Jim Tracy.
Aren't these two just former Democrats who lost their way?
Elmer,
"Gott Mit Uns" appeared on belt buckles in World War I as well as earlier in the German Empire as a carryover from the Prussian motto. http://www.worldwar1.com/sfgeruni.htm MIT GOTT UND KOENIG FUR VATERLAND With God and King for Fatherland was also quite the rage on dress uniforms.
Corporal Hitler may have worn a "Gott Mit Uns" belt buckle when he was gassed in WWI. A fortuitous result was that he didn't allow the use of gas even on the beaches of Normandy.

Problem is "one" true God. Muslims have one Christians have another. Train wreck is sooner or later certain.Killing the infidels follows. Answeris to demote _all_ relions to bush league status.Belive as you will but don't expect to be taker seriously.
