Moslems or Mahometans

Mahometans it is

“ Snackeater "... but when I was a kid, adherents to Islam were called moslems."

Young lad - when I was a mere youth, they were called Mahometans:
Boned Jello
Montesquieu
"3. That a moderate Government is most agreeable to the Christian Religion, and a despotic Government to the Mahometan.

4. Consequences from the Character of the Christian Religion, and that of the Mahometan. From the characters of the Christian and Mahometan religions, we ought, without any further examination, to embrace the one and reject the other: for it is much easier to prove that religion ought to humanise the manners of men than that any particular religion is true.

It is a misfortune to human nature when religion is given by a conqueror. The Mahometan religion, which speaks only by the sword, acts still upon men with that destructive spirit with which it was founded."

But I digress.

Speaking of digressing, I don't understand why everyone's so upset with the Mahometans wanting to build their mosque two blocks from Ground Zero. What's the big deal? In fact, we should demonstrate our tolerance by helping them build it.

And while we're at it, I think we should help the Branch Davidians build a temple two blocks from the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Or how about helping the Westboro Baptist Church build a new place of worship in downtown San Francisco? The possibilities are endless.

Why not built a Robert Byrd KKK memorial next to the Lincoln Monument??

How soon will it be before The Komrade Incompetent gives a large portion of The Capitol Mall to the Muslims to build a mosque there? Or maybe he will offer to fill in the Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument for a mosque. With this guy, just about anything like this is possible, and nothing is sacred to him, except possibly Jeremiah Wright's Church of What's Happening Now (to borrow a line from the late Flip Wilson).

"Mahometan religion, which speaks only by the sword."
