(2006-12-05) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on NASA to include a Muslim prayer room in its planned moon base, and on all passenger spacecraft shuttling between earth and the moon.
“The moon was the inspiration for the Islamic crescent symbol,” said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, “By all rights, Islam should be the official religion of the moon, but we’re willing to tolerate diversity, for the time being, in exchange for protection of our civil rights.”
CAIR, a non-profit organization which promotes understanding, justice and “appropriate limits on freedom of speech” for its ideological adversaries, initially intended to organize a boycott of moon flights to protest NASA’s development of the moon.
“But then we realized,” Mr. Hooper said, “that the only way to reach the moon people with the message of our peaceful religion is to live among them, blend in and act normal, and then periodically to burst into loud cries of Allahu Akbar in public places.”

That says it all. You’ve hit the nail on the head yet again, Scott. God Bless you and America.

Good Morning Scrapplers,
The South has been providing small private prayer rooms with the ‘crescent -shaped’ symbol on the door,for years. We are always “a-HEAD” of the pack.

POW! Right to the Moon Alice, right to the Moon!

I wonder if international authorities will allow Shari’a law and beheadings on the Moon?
7 Shelly // Dec 5, 2006 at 9:44 am
Darth, so far the international community is perfectly fine with beheadings. It’s water-boarding terrorists to stop them from mass murder that’s problematic.

I agree! Send them all to the moon.
9 onlineanalyst // Dec 5, 2006 at 10:14 am
Good one, Maggie!
I propose that some Muzak be piped in. “Fly Me to the Moon” would be appropriate. Shari’a in the stratosphere is the ticket for those who want to “play among the stars” since the Muslims already have their fans in the Hollyweird crowd cheering their place on earth.

Maybe the response to these Muslim demands is to hook a GPS device to their camels to direct them to look for the Star in the East.
IOW I don’t CAIR. Tell it to the Marines, as was said in the good old days.

“Things you must believe to be a Bush Republican today…
Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when W’s daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a “we can’t find Bin Laden” diversion.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq & Iran.
A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans’ benefits and combat pay.
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won’t have sex.
Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.
Global warming and tobacco’s link to cancer are junk science, but Creationism and Intelligent Design should be taught in schools.
A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying about Weapons of Mass Distraction Destruction to enlist support for a needless war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
The public has a right to know about Hillary’s cattle trades, but George Bush’s driving record is none of our business.
Taking drugs is illegal unless you’re a conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
You support states’ rights, but the United States Attorney General can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the ’80s is irrelevant.”

Things you have to believe to be a liberal DemDonk today:
1) You believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of funding.
2) You have to be against capital punishment but for abortion on demand - In short: you support protecting the guilty and killing the innocent.
3) Poverty is the cause of all terrorism…which is why the leaders of al Qaeda are typically U.S.-educated and were raised in wealth and luxury.
4) Drug addiction is a disease that should be treated with compassion and understanding…unless the addict is a Conservative talk show host.
5) You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than nuclear weapons in the hands of the terrorists.
6) Slowly killing an unborn innocent by tearing it apart limb from limb is good. Slowly killing an innocent disabled woman by starving her to death is good. Quickly killing terrorists, convicted murderers and rapists is BAD.
7) You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being gay is natural.
9) A president who lies under oath is okay, but a president who references sixteen words from an allies’ intelligence report should be dragged through the streets naked.
10) You have to believe that taxes are too low but ATM fees are too high.
11) “The People” in the First Amendment means The People; “the People” in the Fourth Amendment means The People; “the People” in the Ninth Amendment means The People; “the People” in the Tenth Amendment means The People; but “the People” in the Second Amendment (ratified in 1791) means the “National Guard” (created by an Act of Congress in 1903).
12) You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren’t.
13) Threatening to boycott Dr. Laura’s and Rush Limbaugh’s advertisers is exercising Freedom of Speech, but threatening to boycott CBS’s “The Reagans” and Liberal actors over their asinine anti-American remarks is censorship and McCarthyist blacklisting.
14) You have to believe that conservatives are racists but black people are too stupid to make it without your help.
15) Sex education should be required so that teens can make informed choices about sex, but gun education should be banned because it will turn those same teens into maniacal mass-murderers.

Well, if I had any doubts about Gates, I certainly don’t now. What a despicable, filthy, treasonous liar.

How did this one fly under the radar when Nancy “Clean Sweep” Peelousy began setting up her majority committee membership?
“Justin Rood at TPM Muckraker asks whether Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats will have another corruption issue in caucus leadership. Alan Mollohan (D-WV) served as ranking member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee for Science, State, Justice, Commerce and Related Agencies and under normal circumstances would take the chair from Frank Wolf, the current Republican chair. However, Rood points to an ugly conflict of interest that would immediately present itself if he does:
“The FBI’s probing Mollohan for possible violations of the law arising from his sprawling network of favors and money which connects him to good friends via questionable charities, alarmingly successful real estate ventures, and hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarked funds.
“The investigation appears to be active and ongoing. We’re told that the Feds continue to gather information on the guy. Yet the Democrats look poised to make Mollohan the chairman of the panel which controls the purse strings for the entire Justice Department — including the FBI. …
“‘Mollohan should definitely be recusing himself from all appropriations decisions regarding the Justice Department, including the FBI,” said Melanie Sloan, director of the left-leaning D.C. watchdog, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). For Mollohan, there is the danger of even appearing to manipulate the Justice Department’s budget in response to its probe. For the FBI, it creates possible charges of soft-pedaling their investigation in exchange for favorable funding, Sloan said.
“Pelosi ran on the winning message that Democrats could clean up corruption in Congress better than the Republicans. Yet even before the new session of Congress begins, the Democrats have repeatedly demonstrated that reform takes a back seat to the acquisition of power. Pelosi herself has been the worst of the lot, backing porkmeister and Abscam-tainted John Murtha as Majority Leader, followed by her support for Alcee Hastings as Intelligence Committee chair despite his impeachment and removal from the federal bench for corruption.”
More here.
(Scroll back from comments.) Madame Peelousy has a lot of skeletons hiding in her broom closet. Talk about hypocrisy!

onlineanalyst, in the vein of “if a tree falls in the forest falls and there is no one there to hear it fall, does it make a sound?” try this one: “If a story happens and the media refuses to cover it, is that story really news?”
Freedom of the press belongs only to those who own one.

bystander - please be advised that someone has hi-jacked your name and is posting maggot infested garbage over your name. You should contact Scott Ott and complain about this identity theft.
You’re far too intelligent to have authored such nonsense so we know it couldn’t have been you.
On the other hand even you will have to admit that whoever the sit down commedian may be, he or she is uproarously funny. I haven’t laughed so hard since the hogs ate my little brother.

JL3rd,
I’m just waiting for Walter Cronkite to come out of retirement to tell America we lost in Iraq.
***Cue … Irarqi re-education camps, more fratricidal strife between Muslim Sunnis and Shias, and a resurgence in the belief among Islamofascists that the world is theirs to take since America has proven to be a paper tiger.***
25 JamesonLewis3rd // Dec 5, 2006 at 12:54 pm
AP has changed their story-just a bit:
Asked point-blank by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., whether the U.S. is winning in Iraq, Gates replied, “No, sir.” He later said he believes the United States is neither winning nor losing, “at this point.”
I’m half-tempted to apologize for my comment #19 but I won’t. His first answer shows his POV and all the equivocation in the world doesn’t change it.
The headlines have shot around the world and Gates has done us-particularly our troops-a great disservice.

Ypu have to believe that you were born with a special entitlement gene that guarentees your right to rule. “Born to the Purple” only you and other possessors of the entitlement gene are intelligent enough to figure out what everyone else should be, think and do.

You beat me to it, JL3rd. Gates indeed said “the United States is neither winning nor losing” … so a pox on the liberal lamestream media again for spinning the news.
But I’m with you, there was a much better way Mr. Gates could have answered that question and the hyperlink you gave would have been the more professional answer to have given Levin by hoisting him on his own petard. The only war we’re losing is the PR war engaged in by the American left, the global lamestream media and the Islamic rags.
In the real world, how can one be losing a war in which you win every battle, the indigenous army you’re training will be handling all security issues within the year, and you’re still boots on the ground with casualties rates below 2.5% of the soldiers who have served in that theater of operation? Liberals will always try to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when Republicans are in office. They’re doing a pretty good job of it now.

Speaking of the Moon Base, once it is built and manned, we can expect to read the first story about “LUNAR WARMING” around 2025. And of course, the only cure for LUNAR WARMING is for America to punish businesses and any others engagin in capitalism.

“Private Saudi citizens are giving millions of dollars to Sunni insurgents in Iraq and much of the money is used to buy weapons, including shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, according to key Iraqi officials and others familiar with the flow of cash.
Saudi government officials deny that any money from their country is being sent to Iraqis fighting the government and the U.S.-led coalition.
But the U.S. Iraq Study Group report said “Saudis are a source of funding for Sunni Arab insurgents.” Private Saudi citizens are giving millions of dollars to Sunni insurgents in Iraq and much of the money is used to buy weapons, including shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, according to key Iraqi officials and others familiar with the flow of cash.
