Mayor Bloomberg Says Planned Hearings On Radical Islam Not Appropriate…
These hearings are not only appropriate, they are absolutely necessary…
(NY Post) — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says a New York congressman’s planned hearings on radical Islam are not appropriate.
Rep. Peter King said in an opinion piece in Sunday’s Newsday that he intends to “break down the wall of political correctness” in the debate about what he calls Islamic radicalization.
Bloomberg was asked Monday about King’s plans.
The mayor said he does not agree with King and said the hearings are not appropriate.
The mayor was among the first and strongest defenders of the right for Muslims to build a mosque in lower Manhattan, near ground zero.

I hope bloomberg gets hurt
Do you get the feeling that billionaire Bloomberg is on the phone with billionaire Soros a lot?
Bloomberg: the worst type of effete, rich, ultra liberal pansy dhimmiwit.
His whiny voice reminds me of Fran Drescher.
Yes, they are very appropriate. I also think we should try those who sympathize with radical muslims.
Bloomberg and his opinions are not relevant. Better question is “who the hell is asking this asshat what he thinks?”.
Like the picture. What’s he swallowing? Oh yeah, just another wealthy homo in high places.
‘Radical Islam’ is the enemy; can’t combat an enemy if you can’t identify it.
And just how long does Bloomberg think he would last with Muslims? Is he forgetting who he is.. he is a Joooo after all.
And he should be tried just as a nazi sympathizer would have been!!
Dhimmayor Moonberg is a bloombing appeaser. The muzz are quite clear that he will not only not be eaten last, but they plan on having him first. Regardless of what he does, and because of what he is.
I am convinced that Bloomberg lives in some kind of almost delusional bubble when it comes to reflecting on any understanding of Islamic supremacy.
Who has the ear of this dhimmi enabler of Islamic determinations in America? Mega Mosque New Jersey slum lord Iman Feisal Rauf has of course charmed Bloomberg with his BS taquiya practiced game quite well.
I hope that NY Rep. Peter King’s committee reveals what has been going on in America. It is amazing all the problems we are confronting with Islamists and yet Muslims represent a little over 2 percent of the US population. What happens at 8 or 10 percent as in Europe?
I’d would definitely like to see FL. Rep. Lt.Col. Allen West on Peter Kings Committee.
jharps strings have been plunked. Go work for the mayor. You can wipe his ass if you’re lucky.
Lets cut through the politically correct nonsense…
“Radical Muslim”= Obedient Muslim
“Islamic Terrorist”= Obedient Muslim
“Peaceful Muslim”= Disobedient Muslim
We got ourselves another lefty (presumably; it’s the mark of the lefty) who doesn’t get what this is all about.
It’s not about rights. I don’t think you’ll find any conservative who thinks the muzz have no legal right to build the mosque.
It’s about being proper. This is an open wound, the site of the murder of 3000 American citizens in an attack motivated by Islamic ideology. It’s not proper, not considerate, not amicable to build a mosque smack dab over the wound. Salt on the wound, it’s a right but it isn’t right.
jharp says: “They have the right but you don’t like it? Tough shit. Loser.”
A little bit of free advice. When you want to say the 3000 murdered Americans don’t mean jack s**t to you, it’s more honest to say so right away than do it in circumlocutions.
You’d dance on all those bodies, just like the muzz trash behind this abomination of a construction initiative are doing.

“The mayor was among the first and strongest defenders of the right for Muslims to build a mosque in lower Manhattan, near ground zero.”
So I guess you jackasses hate the first amendment and the right of religious freedom.
Just to remind you dumbasses, a lot of folks fought and died so we could have that right.
And you imbeciles are just willing to hand over to the government the decision on what religion can or can not build a church?
God you people are stupid.”
Sharia law and Islamic supremacy here in the USA is not “religious freedom”…it is sedition against the Constitution of the United States.
Who is being stupid here?
Lets examine the names Muslims chose for the Mosque.
“Cordoba House”
“Cordoba was, of course, the seat of the caliphate established in what is now modern Spain after the Islamic invasion from North Africa in the 8th century A.D. The medieval occupation of Spain – “al-Andalus” – is considered by Islamic theorists to have been an inevitable step in the manifest destiny of Islam, and its eventual reversal through the lengthy European “Reconquista” a tragic but temporary triumph of the infidels. The great mosque at Cordoba was built on the foundation of a Christian cathedral, and when Europeans retook Cordoba in the 13th century they turned the magnificent mosque back into a cathedral.”

Then came the apparently more innocent “Park 51″
51 for Quran 51, not the address…
“They ask: When is the Day of Judgment? It is the day when they will be tormented at the Fire, And it will be said unto them: Taste your torment which ye inflicted. This is what ye sought to hasten.”
Surah 51:12-14
Who is being stupid here? Jharp is.
Jharp is away from his foodcart at the moment. He’s pleasing his goat.
Jharp is pretending to give a fig about the military but yet he would be the first to call them war criminals
Bloomberg needs to pull his head out of his ass and come to the realization who our enemy is and what their true intentions are….
Just to let you know you lefties[Jcrap your included]only believe in the separation of church and state when it comes to non-muslim places of worship
Gad,how did NYC go from Rudy to this jerk.
Stop with the “radical islam” rubbish.
The problem is islam; just plain islam, not “radical islam”.
Islam is a collective.
The islamic ummah, or global islamic community, is like a hive of insects and the islamic ideology is the operating system of the hive.
Some insects bite and have stings, some gather food, some lay eggs and look after the baby muslims, some are scouts, others specialize in all sorts of matters conducive to the interests of the hive.
They all have different roles but all support the collective in different and symbiotic ways.
All good muslims owe their loyalty to the “nation of islam” only – the ummah.
Enough with the “radical islam” nonsense.
I’m assuming Bloomberg is just waiting for a nice pat on the head for being a good Dhimmi.
Bloomberg gets his talking points from the arab royalty….
he likes to kiss royal ass…
Well Bloomie can kiss my sober, pink, Irish ass…
and not on the left…. nor on the right…..but right in the middle
Does Yutzberg plan on running for pres? If he does, he’s already screwed up his
chances hopelessly with this mindless appeasement.
Not appropriate for Dhimmi Bloomberg.
Yutzberg does have big ambitions, but I can’t imagine President. He’s a stone cold manager so he’s probably fancying a Clinton WH where he’ll be a global thinker of things high and mighty like population, environment, economies and trade…Business Manager of the Globe.
@Mike_W
Describing the ummah as a hive of insects is a great analogy. And there are no moderate muslims just as there are no extremists, they’re all just muslims and not one of them gives a good damn about the US Constitution or who’s a conservative and who’s a liberal, whether Native Americans migrated here first, or how many states are in the union. They merely want to re-claim all of the earth, including North America for allah, who they believe it belongs to already, using any and all means at their disposal, including using the unwitting stooges and tools on the left (that would be moron asshats like you jharp) to do their bidding.
Another_Infidel says: “@Mike_W – Describing the ummah as a hive of insects is a great analogy.”
I remember reading “Starship Troopers” by Robert Heinlein (1959) where the rights of a full Citizen to vote, and hold public office must be earned by serving in the Military. Non-Citizens were mere civilians without full rights in participating in their society. Gee, wouldn’t that be great?
You can’t talk sense to a leftie troll like jharp. They come to every conservative site they can find and try and make people miserable. But to explain anything to them is impossible. They have caused websites to have to screen all of their comments they got so bad.
So Busted.
Some Muslim..I don’t know what else to call her after seeing the video… crow… in Australia accused an officer of “racism”.
She refused to identify herself, then claimed that because the officer could not identify her, because she had refused to identify herself, the bitch flipping out on the officer was someone else in a hood. Unbelievable.
If your face is that precious, stay home with it. Nobody will miss you. Carnita.

By the by, round these parts, we know Carnita as a tasty pork product.
King, meet Bloomie.
Begin fighting at the count of three….
Uhhh, Mr. King, I didn’t mean you had to beat him to death by the count of three.
This is not a fair battle of wits. Bloomie is coming in unarmed.
This Jharp character managed to run with a lot of name calling, but very little substance .
Let’s see in about 3 or 4 sentences we where referred to as Jackasses,dumbasses,imbeciles, and stupid–wow!–normal talking points for lefties.
And out of that it was all about the first amendment to the constitution–Well I got news for you, those of us who have opposed the mega Mosque at ground zero have always noted time and time again that Iman Feisal Rauf and his group had the right to build it under the Constitution. Are argument had to do with the sensitivity of the site since the murderers committed these acts against the American people by following the teachings in the Quran, and there is no dispute to that among the majority of Americans who are paying attention.
Something you are apparently not doing without question in my mind.
another slimeball liberal politician trying to destroy the usa
bloomberg needs to be removed from office for conflicting interests. He does a lot of biz with the arabs, has some sort of big business deal of his own in one of the more modern arab nations. He is obligated to the arabs and has made it clear he is not interested in the wishes of New Yorkers. Kick his ass into the street.
Middle finger to him from Big Sky Country.
Bloomberg is not a dhimmi, he is a full collaborator.
Communist-Islam alliance.
Another Infidel and Mike W, You are completely right. Anyone who would follow the dictates of a murdering, raping, pedophile and call him a holy man has some serious screws loose. As howzat says, this is not a “religion.” And the unholy book that he had to dictate, because he was illiterate, as well as a murderer, warlord, raping, pedophile is the most ugly book I have ever read. I have not finished it yet, it is very tedious, but the commands to kill anyone and anything that is not pisslamic is not a holy creed. I wonder if Bloombutt has even read this unholy book? This is a seditious, SUPREMACIST, political ideology.
Jharp, The book constantly talks about killing YOU. Please read it and see if you think these people are not enemies of the state. And also reflect on the fact that there is no free mooslum country. I could go on about he barbarity shown to to women and apostates and any non-mooslum, but you should just read the book.
How many “honor killings” this year in the Big Apple
and surroundings? Somebody should do a study -
X Mooslums = Y Honor Killings/year. It won’t be
a pretty equation either. The UN estimates 5,000/year
plus world wide. This is fathers and brothers KILLING
their daughters and sisters! These people are inbred
savages and those that don’t do it always have it as
an option to keep the girls in line. They also turn a
blind eye to those honor killings and probably cheer
them When have you seen a Mooslum turn in another
one for a murder here, etc? Never. Doesn’t happen
because this is an inside thing, no outsiders allowed period.
Another successful mega terrorist attack in the USA
I guarantee you we are going to vote for round up
and ship them out laws to get every one of these savages
out of the US. Will have to pay the hellhole Mooslum
countries to take them back probably. Anti-Mooslum
thinking is just going to grow and grow in this country
because the savages are doing zilch to stop themselves
from killing us. It is going to end with mass deportations
of thousands of members of this criminal/murderous
enterprise. The Constitution doesn’t protect criminals
and their enablers, here close to a million people perhaps.
Can’t wait to see them returned to their deserts and then
we can shop on a busy street without worrying about being
blown to bits all over it. Hey, Bloomberg how is that for
Pisslamaphobia? BTW all I needed to know about Pisslam
I learned on 9/11. Too bad you didn’t learn a f…king thing.
Jebus. This is the first time I’ve checked the news line-up for hours. I feel like Glenn Beck when he said, “Thank G-d, this isn’t the only life I’ll have.”
The next time The Donald gushes about what a “wun-da-ful” mayor Bloomie is, I wish I could shove the above pix in his face.
jharp says:
So I guess you jackasses hate the first amendment and the right of religious freedom
How about when my religion states marriage is between a man and a woman? Bet you don’t support my religous freedom then do you?
“…I have come to see quite clearly that even if there are politically correct, multi-cultural, morally relativistic, post modern progressive busybodies who would like us to believe that our Christian friends’ and Neighbors’ spontaneous Christmas wishes are somehow injurious to us and our culture, they are nothing of the kind. A sincere “Merry Christmas is better for you than the blandest, most guarded “Happy Holidays”
You see, the U.S. was founded by Christians. Not just any Christians. The early colonists were both devout and independent. They were fervent Protestants whose purpose in coming here was to leave the Kings, Priests, state religions and archaic laws of the old world behind. They came here to build a country where every man could read scripture for himself and be his own priest, where he could be free to elect political leadership that he could follow gladly. Ultimately, that enterprise gave rise to the constitution and form of government we have today. At two hundred years old it is still the one in the entire world that best honors the individual and guarantees his rights.
It was these fiercely independent Protestants who set the tone for the nation in which we now live. It is important to remember that they were deeply religious people. When Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and the rest decided that there would be no Official Religion in this country they were aiming for Freedom of Religion not Freedom from Religion. They meant the freedom to practice your religion after the dictates of your conscience .
This is why America has become the destination of choice for any one wishing to escape repression or lack of opportunity elsewhere in the world. That’s why Jews have gravitated here for two hundred years. But we are in danger of forgetting how this all works and I think this whole Merry Christmas thing is a symptom of that amnesia.
Fortunately, though, Jews do have a collective memory of stories if we just listen to them. My grand father told me stories about life in turn-of-the(last)–century Eastern Europe so I know what he escaped by coming here (not to mention that he was not in Zhitomir, his home town, thirty years later when the Waffen SS slaughtered thirty six thousand Jews there in one day!). I also have a friend who came here from Leningrad in the Seventies. He has told me many stories. Just few months ago, I worked with a client named Miriam who told me how she grew up in newly-born Israel after her family was expelled from Morocco in 1948. Each of these stories and so many others just like them have convinced me that The United States of America, as conceived by her Protestant founders, has been a miracle and a blessing to the entire human race. It has been especially important to the Jewish people.
We Jews are barely over one percent of the population here. We (a lot of us anyway) take pride in our contribution and participation to America’s dynamism. We point with satisfaction to the fact that the founding fathers of this country were inspired and informed by our holy book which they called The Old Testament. Many of them read it in the original Hebrew, something few of us modern Jews can do.
But why do I need to explain this? Why don’t we all understand the centrality of the Protestant ethic to the goodness of America? Partly, it’s because of a lack in the educational program. But it’s also because our media, whose responsibility it should be to make us aware of the important events and issues. But the media is often found to be doing just the opposite.
In the media, America is assailed daily for her imperfections; and if not assailed, then damned by the faintest of praise. The media’s emphasizes the imperfections instead of the achievements- the discords not the harmony. Hasn’t America (and her allies) banished the Taliban to isolated caves and mud huts in remotest Waziristan? Didn’t we free Afghan women to live more normal lives without the threat of torture, rape and summary execution for the crime of being female? Can’t, now, Afghans to grow beards to their own liking, listen to music, laugh in public send their daughters to school and have simple human dignity? Oh, well, yes, the press will whine, but there is still poverty, the occasional bombing and we never caught Osama bin Laden. Well then, have we also not saved thousands of Kurds, and non Baathist Muslims in Iraq from the depredations of Saddam and his two evil sons- people who raped and murdered fifteen year-old girls and put their political enemies (alive and feet-first) into industrial shredding machines just to hear them scream? Perhaps, but our press prefers to talk about a few incompetent American soldiers (who were punished for their stupidity) deriding and humiliating their Iraqi captives at Abu Ghraib and equating that with the horrors of Saddam.
I am one Jew who is all for the kind of spirit and strength of character that gets expressed at this time of year by wishing each other “Merry Christmas”. I’ll certainly take it over Allah HuAkbar. Give me Peace on Earth” and “Good Will Toward Men” over “Eternal Jihad” and “Dhimmi Status for Infidels” anytime.
If we do anything this holiday season, we need to loosen up and get a perspective on this “Merry Christmas” thing. It is not the people who say “Merry Christmas” and mean it that we need to be discouraging in America at this time. It is the people who find something wrong and suspect in the energy, enthusiasm and good-will that animates that “Merry Christmas” that we need to discourage.
The secular, morally blind, multi-cultural, Progressive ignoramuses who dare to equate the fully investigated, litigated, redressed and punished mistakes of a few misguided soldiers Abu Grhaib and Haditha with the bloody reign of terror under Saddam Hussein display their ignorance twice- First, because and find no moral difference are the same moral idiots who make excuses for the thousands of rockets a day that are being intentionally fired at the civilian population of Israel, rockets loaded with explosives, ball bearings and nails so as to injure and maim indiscriminately but still insist that any attempt to hunt down and stop the terrorists responsible for these rockets is equivalent or even worse.
The choice is between warm hearted friends with morals and ethics and heartless enemies with no moral compass who think they can rationalize almost anything with reasonable sounding, non-judgmental sophistry. Do you need a moment to think about that?
By saying “Merry Christmas” in public we are not agreeing that Jesus was the son of God, we are just acknowledging that some very good people believe it. When we say it, that does not constitute accepting Jesus as our personal savior; it does show his followers that we see them as fellow countrymen, friends and brothers-in-arms in the defense of the highest ideals of our civil society. What is the problem with that?
The first four words of this essay “I am a Jew”, are exactly the words that Daniel Pearl was forced to say on camera just before he was pinned down and his head was sawn off. I’d like you to try a little thought experiment simulating a better world here- Pretend that the next sentence that I write followed that first one and I had no need for the rest of the explanation in between…
“Have a Merry Christmas”

Freedom of Religion, not Freedom from Religion. A concept alien in any Islamic State were the “church” and state are one and the same, a single, cohesive, authoritarian entity:
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components. Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called “religious rights.” When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to “the reasonable” Muslim demands for their “religious rights,” they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law.
The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris — car burnings, etc.). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of “Dar-es-Salaam” — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
“Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel”. — Leon Uris, “The Haj”
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

@ BlueSky
Thank you for one of the most thought-provoking, coherent, cohesive and intelligent posts I think I’ve ever read on this or any other site. If I were to set out to wish Christmas greetings on others I believe I would make it a point to first seek you out and wish them on you before moving on to offer the greetings to other folks.
To Another_Infidel,
Thank you for drawing attention to BlueSky’s wonderful post.
