Obama prayer leader from group US linked to Hamas

WASHINGTON: A Muslim scholar chosen to speak at President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural prayer service Wednesday is the leader of a group that federal prosecutors say has ties to terrorists.

Hmmm...curiouser and curiouser.

Yeah, those folks also linked Cat "Peace Train" Stevens to terrorists.

You already told us that in your view the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.

I think that I said Islamo-fascist Muslim--then I later qualified that with "terrorist. And, I stand by that opinion. How do you feel about Zionists being killed, Stephanie?

I don't like anyone to be killed.

You don't seem to mind one thousand Palestinians, the vast majority of them innocent civilians killed.

None of which changes the fact that those of you who spend so much of your time fearing people you don't understand linked the hippie turned Muslim Peace Train composer to terrorism and refused to allow him to reenter the USA.

You know people you know sometimes send you email chains. I got one the other day from a rather nice neoconservative friend of mine. I'm going to see if I still have it. I want you to see something.

OK I do have it.

It's a silly thing, really. The survey asks you a question and you're supposed to respond with a one word answer. I'm going to post the first half of the survey with her answers.

TYPE ONLY 1 WORD... IT'S HARDER THAN YOU THINK!!!

1. Where is your cell phone? chair
2. Your significant other? Lester
3. Your Job? RETIRED
4.Shoes you're wearing? SANDALS
5. Your father? deceased
6. Your favorite thing? family
7. Your dream last night? none
8. Your favorite drink? Coke
9. Your goal? Heaven
10. The room you're in? Family
11. Your fear? terrorism
12. Where do you want to be in 6 years? South
13. Where were you last night? Home
15. Muffins? banana
16. One of your wish list items? Heaven

This woman fears terrorism. That is her fear. She runs a much greater risk of suffering cancer, or being raped, or even struck by lightening but she is afraid of terrorists. Why do you suppose that is? I'll bet my eye teeth I know. The answer lies in large part in her answer to one of the last questions on that survey. Here it is:

34. FOUR PLACES I GO OVER AND OVER:
1. Sams
2. Church
3. Krogers
4. Kitchen

If she didn't live so far away I'd be asking her if her minister's name is Terry Hagedorn. Lots of the fundamentalist preachers in these parts have these folks so fired up about terrorism they're on the lookout for suicide bombers at the Foodland in Eleanor, WV.

It's sickening.

Physician, heal thyself. (Do you realize how bigoted you sound, Stephanie?)

We all have our own prejudices.
