Oh yes it did happen.
I can recall in my area (New Orleans) a very popular Middle Eastern restaurant called Mona's was burned down by arsonists, and that's just off the top of my head of what I saw directly. Fortunately Mona's is a much loved and respected institution and the community supported then getting back up and running.
And btw the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" is a Sufi congregation that's been in that neighborhood for decades, and was in fact already using the new space when the Pam Gadflies of the world tried to make a buck out of it.
I imagine that distinction is over your head but when a Sufi is involved in terrorism it's usually because they're on the receiving end of it. But it's always easier to click your heels together three times and chant "they all look alike to me... they all look alike to me...."
Pogo lied----the site of the ground zero mosque had not been a mosque before----and to the persons involved being "SUFIS" that is pure bullshit. They are Pakistanis----it is quite true that SUFISM exists in Pakistan but very little and there are not enough Sufis in NEW YORK CITY to warrant that giant "facility"
Actually you're the one lying, and the text above proves it. I bolded the phrase you changed from what I said to what you claimed I said.
Go fuck yourself.
I see nothing BOLDED----you fucking idiot.
Maybe you should get your screen fixed then. Or learn how to read.
I have no problem reading-----you have failed to make a point----your allegation
that the ground zero mosque is a SUFI FACILITY is----truly hilarious.
sigh....
>> Feisal Abdul Rauf (Arabic: فيصل عبد الرؤوف, born 1948) is a Kuwaiti American Sufi[1] imam, author, and activist whose stated goal is to improve relations between the Muslim world and the West.[2] From 1983 to 2009, he served as Imam of Masjid al-Farah, a mosque in New York City.[3][4] He has written three books on Islam and its place in contemporary Western society, including What's Right with Islam Is What's Right with America, and founded two non-profit organizations whose stated missions are to enhance the discourse on Islam in society.
He has condemned the 9/11 attacks as un-Islamic and called on the U.S. government to reduce the threat of terrorism by altering its Middle Eastern foreign policy.[5][6] Author Karen Armstrong, among others, has praised him for his attempts to build bridges between the West and the Muslim world.[7] In 2010, Sufi Imam Rauf received national attention for his plans to build Park51, an Islamic Community Center, two blocks from Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. << (Wiki)
I made the words REAL BIG so even an idiot can see 'em.
Don't EVER expect that I post something without first knowing what I'm talking about. I've been over this one since way before I got to this site.
