Ground Zero Mosque. Only muslims have got rights. Non muslims cannot complaint

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf the man promoting the building of the Ground Zero Mosque talks about serving the community, about love and understanding between faiths and about not politicizing religion and on the other hand he says that if the mosque is finally not built in the sorroundings of Ground Zero the muslim world will take this as an offence to Islam and the muslim world will understand that Islam is under attack.

Jolly good Mr. Rauf !! All your bollocks about that peace and understanding that you pretend us to believe that Islam fosters vanish the very moment you say that if you don´t get what you want then the muslim world will be very upset and see it as an offence and as an attack on Islam. Then you go on with that bullshit of yours saying that the mosque must be built on the grounds of national security being preserved. Yes we understand what you mean, if you don´t get what you want maybe the "bad guys" will do evil things, and of course no one wants these bad boys doing such things, don´t we Mr. Rauf?

Thank you Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf for acting like some kind of mafia godfather henchman that kindly warns us of what could happen if we do not do as we are being told!!

What will be next thing the West will have to do so as not to offend the peace and loving followers of Mohamed? why not a mosque in St. Peter´s Cathedral or why not teaching the Koran in all western schools?

Don´t we remember Palestinian children rejoicing at the terrorist attack on 9-11 and their parents cellebrating in the streets, I bet some of them were muslims...

Let´s imagine a bishop on Aljazeera television complaining about not being allowed to build a church in Mecca, shall we? Well only imagine it because it will never happen. The same people Mr. Rauf goes to visit in the Persian Gulf States that tell him how disappointed all muslims will be if a mosque is not built near the place where 4000 people died because some muslims in the name of Allah crashed two airplanes, they will by no means allow any church being built in Saudi Arabia and no bibles or new testaments being in their bookshops.

These people who argue and complaint about how bad Islam and muslims are treated do not EVER demonstrate to protest for the killing of priests in Turkey or the burning of bibles and churches accross the muslim Umma.

These people who ask for equal rights in the West for their religion followers do not allow other religions to proselytize in their countries. Morocco has recently expelled American Christians that were taking care of orphans. Morocco law as well as all other muslim countries legislation forbid to proselytize their nationals.

These Saudi king and princes build huge mosques all accross the Western countries and demand respect for their faith and in their country they beat Philippins servants that are caught praying or have a rosary or a bible. They do not allow to build churches or to worship and they claim for their rights abroad?

I think that Islam and muslims treat us as what they think we are (and I am afraid they are close to be right): idiots.

Muslims in all Western Europe are plundering the welfare state using the public free services such as medical care, education, integration income support, etc in a much larger scale than the rest of the population. They demand everything and collapse our services on and on and they complaint on everything here in Spain. Back in their country they kick anyone that they may think is preaching the Word of God (the Christian God, the merciful) to their citizens.

Do they claim for equal rights? It is a deal!! But they abuse the freedom we enjoy in the West to take advantage of our idiocy while they ban, forbid and prosecute christians, buddists or anyone that is not muslim.

In many muslim countries there are even specific taxes only for non muslims, in Egypt they burn Copt churches and in Indonesia they kill christians and I do not see those so called moderate muslims demonstrating against these muslim crimes.

Moderate muslims are just like UFOs, many people claim to have seen one or two but there are no actual evidences of their existence.

Now let us go back to that fictitious priest demanding in Aljazeera the building of a church in Mecca. Imagine this bishop that has come from a tour to different christian countries telling the interviewer "If this church cannot be built in Mecca the national security of muslim countries will be at risk". Odd isn´t it? What would the reaction from muslims be? Now imagine that that church is going to be built in the same spot where some fictitious christian fundamentalists blasted some bombs. Would muslim countries like the idea? Would they allow this church to be built for the sake of the freedom of cult that they of course don´t have?

If anyone can come up with an answer to those questions please leave a reply.

American flags are burnt in several muslim countries on a regular basis, it is almost a national sport in Iran and now there is a pastor in Florida who tells he will burn one or two Korans and that is a horrid sin and a matter of national security. I don´t like to burn books and I think the Koran is a good book for those who enjoy terror novels but it seems that here the only ones who have sensibility are muslims. I find ablation a much worse thing, I find stoning a much worse thing, I find burning churches and killing christians a much worse thing and yet in muslim countries those practices are usual.

In other words. Imagine dear reader that you like wine and I like beer and in my house wine is forbidden. I go to your house and I protest because you dont want to give me a fourth beer and another day you come over to my place and you ask me for some wine and I go nuts and tell you that that is an insult and that of course I will not give you wine and that you must respect my traditions.

It is as simple as that. Some reciprocity and some respect from the Islamic world is not only a need, it should be a MUST.

Some people here in Spain talk about something they call the Civilizacions Alliance, what I claim is an allience of civilized people to stop these abuses and lack of respect that us western people suffer in silence from the muslim world.

Mr. Rauf wants to name his mosque "The house of Cordoba" we shall have time to dedicate a post about why did he chose that name and what does Barack Obama have to do with that name as well.

Banning Bullfights in Spain? What do bulls think of it?

Today an important decision will be taken in the Catalan Parliament: should bullfights be banned or not in Catalonia.

My opinion is that punishing an animal (any animal) is something I really dislike and I do not enjoy watching a bull bleeding in the ring, same as I do not like boxing, cock fights or chasing a scared fox with dogs while riding a horse.

But let´s see some facts about bullfighting that many people outside Spain generally do not take into account.

The Spanish Fighting Bull (Toro de Lidia) is an Iberian cattle breed that does only exist in Spain and Portugal. They spend their life time in wide-ranging ranches that are usually a haven for wild life species, and feed on fresh grass and vegetation. They live with their mothers for one year and after that they live for another 2 or 3 more years out in the open spaces. The Fighting Bull is a unique breed of cattle and has a high cost for the ranchers that look after them.

They live at least 3 years (they are then consider "novillos") and some up to 4 or 5 years when they are considered "toro" and they are sent to the rings for a bullfight with a "matador".

What about a normal breed of bull life? 95% of the beef cattle, that is those that are not used for breeding are castrated when they reach the 6 to 8 months of live. Then they usually are fed with industrial food and kept in narrow places until they reach the market weight. Cows are kept for breeding for 4 or 5 years and then sent to a "better life" through hammering their brains or by electroshock.

Fighting bulls cows are two precios to be killed so soon so they are kept for breeding as long as ten years.

Now think about it just a little and put yourself in the bull´s hoofs ("shoes") and decide which kind of bull would you rather want to be.

In any case the total ban of bullfights would carry some consequences such as:

1.- Fighting bull would no longer exist except for the zoos. Raising them would be uneconomical and they would end up breeding with beef cattle.

2.- The ranches where these bulls are raised would have no economic fundament and these vast open spaces dotted with ancient holm oaks would turn into something else less respectful with environment.

3.- Thousands of job losses.

4.- The end of a cultural heritage.

And again, I do hate to see an animal suffer but I hate more to see a breed of proud animals vanish for the shake of ultra communist separatists that want to get rid of anything that, to them, sounds Spanish.

Problem for them is that this kind of behaviour based on envy and hatred defines them very well, unfortunately, as 100% full breed Spaniards!

I look forward for your comments and opinions on this.

Bernardino León. Spanish socialists alternative to Zapatero?

Bernardino is currently Secretary General of the Presidency and has a reputation of "getting the job done" when things get tough for president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his boss. Unfortunately for all Spaniards President Zapatero has been managing the current economic crisis worse than the rest of the Western leaders and Mr Bernardino has become a real busy firefighter in the international arena extinguishing all the fires his boss has started.

Mr. León is by far much more efficient than Mr. Moratinos (Foreign Affairs Ministry) when it comes to calm the finacial markets or to explain the economic policies the Spanish Government has in the pipeline (policies that have been constantly changing until now depending on Zapatero´s mood).

Mr Zapatero has been denying the very existence of the crisis until less than a year ago and has recently being forced by the EU and the IMF to implement severe budget cuts. The severity of these cuts is the result of Zapatero´s denial of the very existence of an economic crush in the first moments when other milder measures could have been implemented.

Mr León is a very appreciated individual among the top decission makers both in the financial markets and the high net worth politics, and according to several sources he is already being prepared for his presentation as a solid alternative to lazy and naive Zapatero. You will not hear his name in the media as a candidate to replace the all burnt out Zapatero and that is part of the strategy being managed to keep him away from the sinking socialists government as much as possible before he pursues his goal: being Spain´s next President.
