Shari'a in My Backyard

This is happening blocks from where I'm going for my MS - right here in Philly:

For students living on Beige Block, the potential move of the liquor store closer to the area may be a godsend.

But to Ahmed Rushdie, the news is nothing less than "insulting."

Officials familiar with the negotiations say that there are talks to move the 41st and Market streets liquor store to 43rd and Walnut streets, a location close in proximity to a K-8 school and a community mosque.

The Masjid Al-Jamia Mosque is located at 4228 Walnut St., while the Penn-Alexander school is at 4209 Spruce St.

Rushdie, a professor in Penn's Near Eastern Language and Civilizations Department and a board member of Masjid Al-Jamia, says the move raises serious issues for Muslims in the area - under Islamic law, it is illegal for Muslims to consume alcohol.

Ten bucks City Council steps in and rules in favor of the oppressed.

1 This makes me wonder, what did Catholics do during prohibition?

2 Sorry! did I miss the part where they will be forced to consume the alcohol? I am sure they also avoid other places that alcohol is sold and drank, like airplanes, restaurants and nightclubs?

3 ...Then don't fucking patronize the liquor store for Christ sake! No one is trying to force it down his throat! Fuck! These people make me sick! And articles like these make me see red...damn I need a drink now. Is that OK by you Ahmed? Bollocks to thee and thine.

4 About 500 muncipalities in the USA are "dry" I think the Baptists are the one of the christian sects against this. Of course the Mormons are agaist it also.
50% of Mississippi is dry.
Most of even liberal Martha's Vineyard is dry. I don't ever seem to recall seeing a liquor store right next to a church or school, a lot of places have zoning against that.

Islamopithecines don't want alcohol to cloud their already dim wits when they're out to murder "infidels." We get it.

14 Shag a Wookie and Osamabinimbibin:


Why do you cunts want islamopithecines to rule American neighborhoods? The Nazis aided the koranimals in WWII. Hitler and the muzzies share the same anti-American beliefs you twats do.


Any reason why you pretend not to like Hitler's anti-semitic socialism? Seeing as how you share it in spades.


Try to consider logic when you construct your vapid sentences.

As an observation on liberal bias in choosing sides ...


I suppose if it was a gay bar John Ryan, and Shoogie Woogie would be defending the rights of the alchohol establishment, over the oppression of the religious group.


It's all about what serves the liberal agenda, and freedom is not always part of the equation.


USA, all the way!

Oh yeah, because that's what I've ALWAYS wanted. Gee, you're so brilliant and have blown my cover. I'm a nazi-commie-gay-leftard-socialist-whatever. Keep trying to invent things, Buttholz.

"Any reason why you pretend not to like Hitler's anti-semitic socialism? Seeing as how you share it in spades."

See last comment.

"Try to consider logic when you construct your vapid sentences."

You should consider reconcile your fantasies from reality before posting.

17 Osamaisamoron:


You haven't criticized the islamopithecines for trying to force sharia on real citizens. Not that anybody would believe you if you did.


Sophomoric ad hominems directed at me don't change the fact that Hitler was a socialist who actively sought to surpress free speech--traits shared by the left. Traits shared by you.

Posted by: Jeff Bargholz at February 25, 2007 08:18 PM (Dt3sl)

18 "boy, clever, i hope you didnt strain yourself with that one "........no more effort than it was worth ,but, a bit more than you put into your efforts of debate.
