News Roundup for 8/12/10

AFA's Bryan Fischer

-Headline of the day-
"Top Social Conservative: 'No More Mosques, Period'."

If the world needed an enema, the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer wouldn't be where you'd administer it, he'd be part of what was expelled when all was said and done. Differing from serial hatefucker Fred Phelps only in the saltiness of Phelps' language, Fischer is convinced that God hates everyone who isn't named "Bryan Fischer" or doesn't hold him in the highest regard. In short, he's a jackass.

So it shouldn't surprise anyone that Fischer hates Muslims as much as he hates gays/lesbians/liberals/Catholics/Jews/Hispanics/10 year-olds/bears/etc. Which is why he argues that there should be no more mosques in America. And, of course, his reasoning is predictably insane.

"If a mosque was willing to publicly renounce the Koran and its 109 verses that call for the death of infidels, renounce Allah and his messenger Mohammed, publicly condemn Osama bin Laden, Hamas, and Abdelbaset al Megrahi (the Lockerbie bomber), maybe then they could be allowed to build their buildings," he says. "But then they wouldn't be Muslims at that point, now would they?"

Freedom of religion? Pfffft!! What do you think this is, America or something? (Talking Points Memo)
