Islamophobic GOP Rep Advocates "Infiltrating" American Mosques

Didn't I just write this post? Oh, no. That was A Big White Tent. It's so hard to keep all the bigness and the tentiness of the GOP straight. Speaking of which, it's A Big Straight Tent, too. I don't have a current post on that, but give it a day or so...

Anyway, the Big Christian Tent can only stay so beautifully Christified with lots of maintenance and tools, like New York Congressman Peter King, for instance--who is just certain that the US' problems with radical Islam come down to there being too many darn mosques.
Unfortunately, we have too many mosques in this country. There are too many people who are sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully. We should be finding out how we can infiltrate.
...I think there's been a lack of full cooperation from too many people in the Muslim community. And it's a real threat here in this country.

Given the number of abortion clinic bombings and shootings as well as other Christian criminals.. including child abusers... isn't it time... by this racists logic.. that we begin to infiltrate Christian churches. After all.. there are just too darned many of them.

We need missionaries to Texas. The people who live there are good people but they are oppressed by the adolescents who rule them and rue the day the frontier closed. Texas dreams still of the Wild West, where men were killers. So they kill as many prisoners as they can, since it's always easier to kill someone in chains.

If we cannot educate the perverted Texas' ignorance, then I recommend that we deed the state to Mexico. Since it's just a landing for the hurricanes caused by Texas oil heating the atmosphere, let Mexico have it and good riddance.

How many people are entirely ignorant about Islam and Muslims. And even worse, they are not interested in learning. I think it has to do with only experiencing a limited, homogeinized group of people in a rural setting. If they were to come to the big city for a day or two they might realize that there are more types of people to deal with besides themselves and their white anglo-saxon neighbors. They might even learn that there are lots of cultural differences in this country that they were completely unaware of.

Unfortunately, Peter King is my Representative. He loves any and every war! He is personally at war with immigrants and Muslims. He's opposed to any personal freedom not personally sanctioned by the Pope! Thinking folks in this district will tell you King is fully as loony as Rudy Giuliani----and if you've been keeping up with Rudy since Fred Thompson sent a torpedo into his boiler rooms, you'll know just how looney that is!

GOD SAVE AMERICA!!

This politician has a valid point.What is being taught and said inside these mosques would shock you all if you only understood the language they use.Wake up! The very ideals we support- free speech freedom of association etc.- are being used to plot our downfall and it seems successgully!DONT LET THEM DO IT!

unfortunately, as much as i disagree with the war mongering these days, i am convinced that islam is the most dangerous religion ever! i think they are capable of setting off a nuke in this country, and ground zero would be in the basement of a mosque.
