Shariah law in the U.S.: Gov. Paterson offers to make Islam the state-sponsored religion of New York :eyes:

by Bryan Fischer

When Gov. David Paterson of New York stepped into the breach to offer a resolution to the exploding controversy over building the Ground Zero mosque, he quite deliberately offered to grant Islam a favored status under New York public policy that is denied to Christian churches.

Here’s what the governor said (emphasis mine): "If the sponsors were looking for property anywhere at a distance that would be such that it would accommodate a better feeling among the people who are frustrated, I would look into trying to provide them with the state property they would need."

He added some mumbo-jumbo about a competitive bidding process, but that was obviously just for show. If he wants to provide state land for a mosque, trust me, he will find a way, and his liberal friends will back him to the hilt.

2. My sarcasm detector isn't working well today
Do you agree with RW hosebag Bryan Fischer and the similarly-bigoted American Family Association, or are you being sarcastic? You didn't provide much in the way of clues in your commentary.

3. I apologize. I thought the eyes by the title made it obvous.
Yes, I'm being very, very sarcastic.

4. That's good to know
As I said, my sarcasm detector isn't very accurate - even when rolling eyes are employed.

Where would the right wing be without the histrionics of their propagandists? 'Sharia law?' Incredible!

6. Now If This Were A Evangelical Church...
...you'd hear the wingnuts and teabaggers swing 180 degrees...complaining how their "freedom of religion" was being violated and how persecuted they are. But when it involves someone whose not white, male, christian and an "Amurican", it's some nefarious international conspriacy.

I also am ashamed of many of my Jewish bretheren who have become racists and put their hatred of Arabs ahead of the value of freedom of religion that many of our ancestors came to this country to enjoy and flourish under.
