    Wait, can I attend the arab festival?

    I'm not arab.... do you think they would mind????


    I am sure they would welcome you with open arms, and offer you some food, and other arabic gestures of community pride - like strapping an explosives-laden vest on you, or maybe sitting you in front of a camera, and trying to force you to recant your faith in God - before cutting your head off. They would have a blast with it! (No pun intended)

    In reality, I think it would go over like a fart in church. But, we live in America, and so do they..... I say go for it - it's still a free country, for now! (by the way, if you come across a few extra AK's while you are there, pick them up for me!) :D

    If that would have been Muslims taping at a Christian festival in a major US city and they were treated the same way, CAIR, ACLU, and a whole host of others would be suing the event, event sponsors, and the city. Does any major US city even host a Christian event comparable to this?

    I'm kinnda sad you guys are offended by this seeing the dozens of Ethnic festivals that Indiana Hosts every year. You've got Black Expo, Irish fest, Latin fest, Italian fest, Greek fest, hundreds of various Religious festivals and conferences.

    I think it was Six years ago now that the Catholic church held NCYC (the National Catholic Youth Conference) in Indianapolis. Which i attended along with about 30,000 others. (so yes christian events DO get that big).

    If you remember It was the hight of the Church "Sex Scandal" and everywhere we went protesters, we were spit on, yelled at, ect. The Security in the events was VERY tight. And even stricter rules as far as Cameras were in place. If you didn't have a press pass, and you were caught performing any type of interview or questioning in front of a lends you would be escorted from the events area (most often forcefully)

    The reason for that was because of guys Like this. Guys who are obviously looking to start conflict and film it for fame or ideological reasons. We had people trying to get the booth workers riled up by insulting them and the faith then filming their reactions. They would use this footage along with some junk editing to show the "anger and violence" of the catholic community. If security got involved telling them that Starting fights is against the rules they would resist until the officers were forced to get physical and then they would film that and portray it as the "Catholic's Thugs" coming to Silence the "truth" and "destroy their rights".

    Don't be fooled by these junk editors. The exact same thing is happening to these people. The Dearborn Arab festival is pretty much the same as any other Ethnic Festival. Reginal food, Ethnic Music, and Booths with community information. I've been. I had a damn good time.

    Remember this when you refuse to convert to Islam, after your religion is outlawed by Sharia law.

    That video is enraging on sooooo many levels. But thats the USA today. Keep stocking up boys, it coming from all fronts!!!
    As Islam grows in the United States, so too will my ammunition supply.

    <sarcasm>

    YEAH!!!! LET"S GET DEM MOOSLEMS!! DER TEKIN ER JOBS!!! AIN'T NO PLACE IN 'MERICA FER THAT!

    </sarcasm>


    Sorry but you guys take a worst case scenario and apply it to an entire population far too often. I'm not sure why statements like these fly when it applies to Muslims. If you guys talked about Blacks, Jews or Gays in this manner it would be completely unacceptable.

    Uh if i recall the blacks, jews and gays did not commit a act of terrorism. I understand it wasnt the entire muslim community but the arabs on the video act like the arabs overseas. They dont want democracy and live the way we do, most can't stand us. Take a trip overseas and you'll see what i mean.

    Sharia Law is the Jihad. The Extreme, the action taking Law. It's like if Christianity would have a 'Sharia Law', they would be having guns and bombs to enforce Christianity.
    Jihad means, striving/struggling in the way of G-d. Islam is not about forcing anyone to follow, it simply means submission to G-d's will. Now just like any other religion people people try to use it for there own selfishness.

    The critical part of this begins at 4 minute mark:

    YouTube - Wafa Sultan Debating Islamic Cleric

    I have many Muslim friends, I have hosted Jewish/Muslim religious text reading groups, and I have done all I can to build bridges. But for those that do not want bridges and do not want to enter modernity, there is very little dialogue to be had.

    Is this the official .mil response? They hate us for our freedoms? It was lame when Dubya said it and it´s lame today. They don´t want an American military presence on their soil. If Iran attacked Indiana, I would become an insurgent.


    Your opinions seem to come from the same place that issued you your dog tags. How many Muslims have you met in America?

    Ever read the Koran? Before you apply anything to any culture, or in your case not apply, you need to learn all you can about them. You can't think in terms of your on morality and superimpose it onto them. You have to see it through their way of thinking.

    Yes. BUT, in this particular instance, it is used to describe the violent sect that will perpetrate any act in their 'holy war'.

    The Sharia Law, is the sect that we here in America call, 'terrorist'. They call themselves 'holy men'. THEY strap bombs to themselves in order to do 'Allahs' will. ==== Sharia Law.

    Get ready, their 'selfishness' is going to come knocking one day to demand your obedience. Since you don't like 'religion', you'll be in an interesting quandry.
