What really surprised me was that despite clearly racist comments made in public and in the media, the proponents never took action on the basis of human rights law.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272544252649766985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-27989745540231740892010-07-16T14:04:24.602-06:002010-07-16T14:04:24.602-06:00Greeting Irreverence, I like your term religious ...Greeting Irreverence, I like your term religious supremacist... great description. <br /><br />This kind of thing reminds me that, for all of the ground we have covered in tolerance, it takes VERY little to send us right back to square one. Over on the FB side of this conversation I am watching on friends pages as people justify this behavior on the basis that other countries do this behavior even worse.

What is especially so is the part where they noted how such religious-supremicist pressure tactics have worked in the past to prevent similar building projects. Hopefully, the bigotry does not win out in the end.irreverancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427620805535244002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-28706598882274912392010-07-16T09:00:58.048-06:002010-07-16T09:00:58.048-06:00These people are equating Islam with violence, and...These people are equating Islam with violence, and to some degree there is a shred of truth to that (maybe back in the old country). Fact is, most Muslims that live here adopt the lifestyle we have here and enjoy the freedoms (thus why they come here). <br /><br />The problem is what they see in the media, they think a Muslim is a terrorist automatically and I am guessing - from Iraq and Afghanistan (the 2 countries America is at war with). It's complete ignorance, if this is the case then the Middle East should send all the Christian institutions packing as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-1722702676906205382010-07-16T05:24:08.789-06:002010-07-16T05:24:08.789-06:00I forgot to mention that my Religious Studies prof...I forgot to mention that my Religious Studies professor at MTSU, Rabbi Rami, posted his first-hand account of the protest on his blog, <a href="http://rabbirami.blogspot.com/2010/07/gods-bless-america.html" rel="nofollow">Beyond Religion with Rabbi Rami</a>.Eruessohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685225014024766175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-44715862313900501002010-07-16T05:18:33.947-06:002010-07-16T05:18:33.947-06:00I've been following this story for quite awhil...I've been following this story for quite awhile and it's truly sad. I recently graduated from Middle Tennessee State University located in Murfreesboro and I enjoyed talking to the local Muslims whenever I had the chance (I never got around to visiting their previous mosque though). The protesters say they don't want to live next to Muslims, but the reality is they have been for decades. If I remember correctly the Muslim community of Murfreesboro began sometime in the early 1980s. Freedom of Religion= Freedom of Christianity. Non-Christians are considered ignorant of this "fact".Eruessohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685225014024766175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-24207591227233043692010-07-16T00:42:33.854-06:002010-07-16T00:42:33.854-06:00This can only happen when a religion is able to do...This can only happen when a religion is able to dominate a government....
