Now can we call them anti-Christian?

I don't know how else to square the logic:

Given his stance on Chick-fil-A, would Mayor Tom Menino grant permits to a group that has counted among its leaders a man who has repeatedly called homosexuality a “crime that must be punished” by death?

Actually, he has done that  . . . and more! Menino effectively gave away city land valued at $1.8 million to the organization, and he gave a speech at its ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It’s the Islamic Society of Boston’s mosque, and when it comes to anti-gay sentiment, one of its early supporters makes Chick-fil-A look like the Provincetown Men’s Chorus.

During the (understandable) controversy over the city selling land for a house of worship at a below-market rate a decade ago, reporters discovered that the Islamic Society of Boston counted imam Yusef al-Qaradawi as one of its spiritual guides. As the Weekly Standard reported at the time:

“The ISB does not dispute the fact that they have repeatedly used al-Qaradawi as a tool to raise funds for the Boston mosque, printing a brochure that highlighted al-Qaradawi’s enthusiastic support of the mosque and playing a videotaped message of support from him at a 2002 gathering.”

Also in attendance at the gathering, listening to al-Qaradawi’s message: Mayor Tom Menino.

I'm sure Menino, should he be confronted with what was just read, would atempt to wriggle out of it in some way by pointing out how may Muslims are moderate and how many would not take seriously the Quranic command to put the homosexual to death.

But that benefit of the doubt the idiot won't extend to Christians and so in the mental gymnastics tumbling forth from the excuse for a brain that sits in the man's head, he finds Christians more threatening in some way than Muslims.

Yea, I think we can call him anti-Christian.

And I think we can do the same for his buddy Obama.  Bowing to Muslim leaders, extending the open hand of friendship while in the same breath attempting to shove the HHS mandate down the throat of Catholics who actually believe in the tenets of their faith.

Yea, I think we can call him anti-Christian as well.

This purported crime of incorrectness is becoming a pitched battle against Chick Fil a. Chick Fil a use to run an advertisement that made the comment..."it's more than just a chicken sandwich.'

This battle with Chick Fil a is more than just an issue of free speech. This battle is for the very core of Christian beliefs and the right to continue to openly espouse your faith and belief in the words of Jesus Christ in America.

As I have remarked on countless occasions in the past when addressing similar attacks by the homosexual lobby and their leftist supporters, this is not about any supposed rights they are being denied homosexuals. This is a false flag operation that is about homosexuals and their attempts to deny everyone else their rights, by demonizing any and all opposition to homosexual deviancy.

The favored weapon of the homosexual attack is now to attempt to paint any and all references of biblical teachings in opposition to homosexuality as 'hate speech' and thereby branding anyone who openly speaks of or supports biblical teaching as a hate monger.

Of course the obvious hypocrisy is their intentional ignoring of the position taken on homosexuality by other faiths such as Islam, who take a far more direct and opposing position to homosexuality to the point of sanctioning the killing of all homosexuals.

But no, let's ignore the Muslim perspectives and teachings, while we hammer away at Christians and those with the audacity to speak in support of the teachings of Christ.

This coming Wednesday, I plan to join millions of other like minded Americans in lending my support to Chick Fil a, but I
am not lulled into thinking or believing for one minute that my act will change or sway the left or their socialist secular humanist meme of hate against Christians.

Christ said that Christians would be persecuted for their beliefs in the end times and that is now coming to pass. I challenge all Christians and all Americans who believe in the Christian principles that this country was founded upon, to come out and join us this Wednesday. The time has come for taking stands and making stands America.

I agree with Locutisprime - this is an attack on Christianity and we are seeing it more and more as time passes.

2 weeks ago the youth of my parish went on a 3-day retreat; by all accounts it was an amazing, spirit-filled time in communion with God and each other. Teens being what they are, the group excitedly Tweeted their experiences - and received hate speech and attacks on their faith, from their friends. These are just kids from a tiny New England town; imagine what it's like for the same kids in large cities. Or their families as they struggle to get their kids to want to go to church in the face of relentless peer pressure.

The wicked game, it is on. Be prepared.
