Lodi Muslim: Local mosque not involved
An active member of the Lodi Muslim Mosque says he knows nothing about the organization that runs the four mosques targeted by federal authorities.
Lodi resident Taj Khan said he has been to several mosques in the Sacramento area and knows several Muslims there, but no one he knows ever mentioned the Alavi Foundation or the Qoba Foundation in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael.
"I have never heard of that mosque before," Khan said.
The Lodi Muslim Mosque is not affiliated with the group the federal government is pursuing, Khan said. The Lodi mosque is locally owned and controlled, he said.

There are oodles of books about the treament of women in these Islamic countries. Now we can add America to the list of places where women are succumbed to Islamic laws.
There is a trilogy by Jean Sasson about the life of Princess
Sultana in Saudi Arabia. The third book,
"Princess Sultana's Circle" paints a horrifying reality for the women of this desert kingdom. "

Good dialoge. I have no doubt there are Muslims who don't agree with what the radicals subsribe to. However, this is a slippery slope. On one hand, there is a certain amount of common sense that the moderate Muslims feel obligated to stand firm on. And, on the other hand they have to be careful not to make any waves in the mosqes that they are in disagreement with a sacred document as the Koran that is considered absolute by the Scholars of Islam.

This is a religion that will not tolerate any other religion except theirs and most Christian countries exact severe penalties, even death, to worshipers of any religion other than theirs and that is exactly how they want America."
Think my version sums things up much better; after all, I seem to recall all the arm-chair "patriots" who decided to uphold the Constitution when they wanted their prayers before the CC meeting yet, these same hypocrites didn't have the decency to extend the same to Muslim parents concerned over what their children ate at school.

Chicago Area Schools Ban Santa, Halloween, and Jell-O for Allah
It isn't only in Muslim-overrun Eurabia that moonbat bureaucrats subject us to dhimmitude. In the Chicago suburb Oak Lawn, pork and Jell-O have been banned from the school lunch menu in an effort to pander to Muslims. Halloween parades are being canceled in favor of vapid "fall festivals," and Santa can only visit school on Saturday when there are no kids around.
According to Elizabeth Zahdan, who "took her concerns to the school board" regarding the shocking prevalence of America culture in American schools, the purpose of suppressing things like Christmas, Halloween, and Jell-O is to make the schools more inclusive.
The insidious liberals who run our schools are only too happy to use their Islamic allies as an excuse to prevent our culture from being passed down to future generations. But there is a ray of hope: people made such a stink that the ban on Jell-O was lifted. "

Even as I see things in Palestine...These Muslims invited the Jews to share their home and the invited guest evicts the gracious host and wages war upon him??? Please, Sir. Go beyond government propaganda and retold untruths. "

I don't claim to be a good muslim or even one who knows much, but I know enough to tell you unequivocally we do not support blood atonement for sins. The Jewish people who angered God had blood sacrafice for sins in THEIR temples. Christians who are misled and deceived believe that God had a son he gave as the ultimate blood sacrifice for the sins of the people.
Muslims believe in only ONE God in Arabic we call him Allah. In Hebrew Elohim and in the weak english God. But in Islam we do not believe he has any peers or children. We believe he is all unto himself and needs nothing from humans, from his creation, but want our love, obedience and devotion. Forgiveness from our sins comes from his mercy, not from sacrifices of blood. To gain Allah's forgiveness we should try to be obedient to his laws, which frankly go hand in hand with the christian and jewish laws as we all purport to worship the same Creator. "

You mean freedom of Religion? As in "Congress shall make no laws..."?
More from LodiJoke: "Political correctness is going to be the death knell of America."
You mean taking the constitution seriously?
More from LodiJoke: "This is a religion that will not tolerate any other religion except theirs..."
You mean like when you were chorusing with others that this is a Christian Nation and those who disagree can leave? "

"I find it ironic that the Christian religion hides behind the American Constitution in their efforts to subvert our nation. Political correctness is going to be the death knell of America. This is a religion that will not tolerate any other religion except theirs and most Christian countries exact severe penalties, even death, to worshipers of any religion other than theirs and that is exactly how they want America."
Think my version sums things up much better; after all, I seem to recall all the arm-chair "patriots" who decided to uphold the Constitution when they wanted their prayers before the CC meeting yet, these same hypocrites didn't have the decency to extend the same to Muslim parents concerned over what their children ate at school.
