Where Are All The Terrorists?

Sept 24th, 2011
by F. Grey Parker

Did you know that the "Ground Zero Mosque" and its army of evil-doers in waiting is, gasp, open to the public?!


Well... it is.

The Park 51 Community Center, which is not a mosque per say, held its first major event this past Wednesday evening.

What kind of horrible, anti-American propaganda was being spewed?

What kind of venomous calls to impose Sharia Law were made?

How many demands for the destruction of Israel were issued?

NONE

L.S Carbonnell writes:

"Centering around a exhibit of Danny Goldfield’s photographic essay of the multinational, multi-cultural scope of New York City’s children, the Park 51 Islamic Community Center has opened its doors to give the City a taste of things to come. A small orchestra of Middle Eastern musicians played in the background as people representing the breadth of New York’s ethnic mix mingled and admired the photographs."


Goldfield's work is remarkable. The exhibit and the space are a great contribution to New York and, frankly, the world. This is something to proud of.

The occasion of its opening is also time for those of us who fought in defense of Park 51's very right to exist to loudly and forcefully shame those that opposed it. They are worse than mere bigots, racists and Islamaphobes.

Their battle against this community center was, and is, un-American.

Do you remember when Larry Klayman wrote that its construction was a "dastardly scheme" and that it was "crazy and evil?"

I do. Feel free to contact him on Twitter HERE. Or, you can call him at 310-595-0800


Do you remember when Dick Morris wrote that "It would be — as many mosques throughout the nation are — a terrorist recruitment, indoctrination and training center"?

I do. Feel free to contact him on Twitter HERE. Or, you can e-mail him HERE

Perhaps you might recall RedState rushing to the defense of the ADL after they had publicly smarmed that building the center was "not a question of rights, but a question of what is right."

Another Black Monday?

August 8th, 2011

Following Friday's dramatic S&P downgrade of the United States' credit rating,

the virtues of which I'll get into later today, it appears that Asian markets are reacting badly. Again, I think everyone who wants to participate in the discussion ought to read the entire actual S&P statement before continuing to trade in competing analyses.

From ABC:

"Tokyo's Nikkei stock market opened down 1.4 percent and then made slight gains, but Japan's finance minister reportedly said the country has not lost faith in the dollar or U.S. Treasury bonds even after the U.S. credit rating was downgraded for the first time in history.

The news in other Asian markets was not so promising. Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 4 percent to 20,100.20 and South Korea's Kospi slipped 6.7 percent to 1,814.100.

Australia's S&P/ASX-200 index lost almost 2 percent in early trading and indexes in New Zealand fell more than 3 percent.

The mixed reports likely won't do much to quell growing concerns that Standard & Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+could rock global financial markets."
