Mississippi Town Objects To Church’s Cross Over Fears It Might Offend Muslims…




Groan-inducing.

Via Fox News:


It’s a battle of Christians versus Christians in Brandon, Miss. where city officials oppose efforts by a prominent church to erect a giant cross because it violates a zoning ordinance. But the pastor of the church said elected officials are also afraid the cross might offend Muslims.

The First Baptist Church of Brandon petitioned the city to install a 110-foot tall cross on its property alongside Interstate 20. The project is sponsored by “Crosses Across America,” a non-profit group that builds giant crosses along the nation’s highways.

“They were led by the Holy Spirit to seek a location in Mississippi,” Pastor Scott Thomas told Fox News. “92,000 cars a day travel along the Interstate 20 corridor. Those are people who need hope, who need inspiration.”

The pastor also said the “Cross at Brandon” would also be used for multi-denominational gatherings, choral performances and outdoor weddings

You can't understand a pastor crying because he can't put a cross up...because it is against city ordinances.

Guess what...I don't need no giant fucking cross saving me either.

As I thought, it's just the pastors opinion, trying to get people riled up.

Really? Well I have the Cross of St George in my window and have never been arrested or asked to remove it.

‘Ground Zero Mosque’ Furor a Faint Memory at Park51 Opening
By Mark Jacobson

Jamming on the oud.


The so-called “Ground Zero Mosque” finally opened Wednesday at 45–51 Park Place. Last year, Park51, as the mosque–community center two iconic blocks from the WTC is called, was the flashpoint of the most heated New York City public debate in decades, prompting raucous community-board meetings, much incendiary rhetoric about the supposed Islamization of America, and, eventually, the uncommon sight of Mayor Bloomberg crying on television while defending New York as an unending beacon of tolerance where “no neighborhood is off-limits to God’s love and mercy.”


On Wednesday night, however, aside from the cop car that sits outside the building 24/7 and a number of burly, black-clad bouncers, Park51’s recent history was little in evidence. Imam Feisel Abdul Ruaf, his wife Daisy Khan, and their Cordoba Institute — favorite targets of the anti-mosque forces — are out of the picture. “Feisel and Daisy thought the center was all about them, it wasn’t. The fact is his following wasn’t as big as first thought,” one project rep said.


Once planned as a fifteen-story structure, what opponents called “the Triumphalist Islamic Supremacist Mega-Mosque at Ground Zero” is still housed in the low-slung edifice that was once occupied by the Burlington Coat Factory. But while the gray-and-green carpeted “prayer space” that is primarily used by taxi-drivers and local merchants for Friday services remains the same, an ample exhibit hall been constructed. On the freshly painted sheet rock walls hung a series of photographs showing charmingly posed children from 160 different countries, but now living in New York. The portraits, taken by Danny Goldfield, were a manifestation of the project’s overriding message, which Park51 chairman, Sharif El-Gamel, described as inclusion, community building, and diversity.”


All in all, with the New York Arabic Orchestra and its four-oud section playing as guests imbibed non-alcoholic drinks and lamb balls, it was a relaxed, deeply secularized ceremony, an experience not wholly unlike one might have at the 92nd Street Y, the facility that El-Gamel says he wants to emulate. It was a time to celebrate progress — El-Gamel, once rumored to have accepted millions from Wahhabi princes, said the renovated exhibit hall cost $70,000, which he raised on kickstarter.com — not to rehash the fractious past. No one I talked to wanted to discuss the outrageous events of the past year. In fact, neither Pamela Gellar or Robert Spencer — the firebrand bloggers who concocted the bulk of the anti-mosque talking points — even mentioned the Park51 opening on their sites. Then again, they may still by lying low in the wake of the disclosure that their views were widely quoted in the papers of Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik.


Standing there, two blocks away from the crews working on the Freedom Tower, it left you wondering what all that business last year was truly about. Was it because finally, after nine years of shock, we had a concrete issue to focus all those pent up 9/11 feelings on? Was it just last year’s version of the Casey Anthony story? Standing amid those pictures of children who managed to smile no matter the odds against them, it was hard to imagine there was ever a problem at all.

Done that too, and still no arrest.

Looking at the video there was something written on the back of the flag, it was more than likely this that got her in trouble, rather than the flag itself, but that wouldnt sit with your anti-muslim rhetoric, now would it?

There's no law against smelling like bacon. You are full of bacon yourself.

Fox News reported that a "bacon restaurant" had to close because of the smell, but it was a lie. It closed because of illegal grease dumping and lack of permits.

 

[renard_ruse]

They try to remove the giant crosses from public land, but I knew all along that's not the goal. Now, the real goal is clear: "cleansing" crosses and Christian and other religions' symbols from any public view even on private property.

The fact that the usual fifth jumped into the thread to defend this religious cleansing shows that they are even worse scum than I thought they were.

(I disagree it has anything to with Islamic people though. Perhaps the atheists and others trying to cleanse the religious symbol from public view are using that as an attempt at a justification.)

PeePee likes to leave out facts that don't support his bigotry or racism.

You should just use emoticons to deal with him.



Because as far as he is concerned the root cause of all evil is Obama.
