Both the King James Bible & Matin Luther borrowed from the already extant Koran. Protestantism has been called a European bastardization of Islam. Yes they thought they were being restricted by the authoritarian ritualistic Catholic Church & needed a revitalized, private,individualistic & evangelical spirituality which they saw in Moslems, who appeared to be more devoted & ascetic than they were. Remember the Protestants also were once burned as heretics !!!

Bravo Pamela Geller. Way to go! Why, if the Cordoba Mosque's intention is peaceable and wants to build bridges, should it have timed its ground breaking ceremony for 9/11 other than to insult the memories of the dead and insult their families. I hope that hundreds of thousands turn out to a peaceful demonstration against insensitive Islam

Pamela, What can you tell us about Collin Thomas and the subsequent investigation of your hubby's car dealership that led to his indictment? Perhaps, some thorough journalist will bring that up in the next interview.

Your untruths and blatant lies about the 9/11 protest discredits yourself and your site

Great article, Alexander. Keep on telling it like it is, and don't let these bastards get you down.

Pamela, I find it nauseating that you are willing to manipulate and exploit the grief of families that lost loved ones on 9/11 just so that you can further your anti-Muslim, anti-Arab agenda. Your campaign against Muslims did not begin when Park51 announced their plans - you've been blogging hatred for years. Park51 is just the latest issue that you've taken up so as to further your agenda. Your alliance with the SIOE and English Defence League should be enough for any sane person to raise an eyebrow - and people should make sure that America knows that you are in league with fascists. Your pitiful excuse that the EDL are merely victims of a liberal media onslaught simply doesn't stand up - Youtube alone is replete with videos of them fighting the police, making Nazi salutes and singing racist slogans. Here's but one example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9j7Sz5Ctc As for your attempts to paint me as some sort of apologist for radical Islam - my work, both on this blog and elsewhere (if you bother to read it) speaks for itself.

One Law For All is preparing a report on SIOE, along with several other UK organisations, due to be launched in October and published in November 2010. onelawforall.org.uk

Why so much lies Alexander ? Please apologize for this and correct your position about that subject. You're wrong, you deny the right of all the 9/11 families victims to protest against that horrible construction on this sacred place and simply deny the truth with your leftist submissive theory : it's a shame, as al gamal and little rauf, a shame. Maybe hate speech in hyde park could be a better subject for your next post ? IYF

You have just posted a blatant lie.No wonder people don't trust the left brain dead liberal rags. You lie right in the face of people who know better.

A special message for all 9/11 Family members -- from fellow 9/11 Families Regarding the September 11 Rally against the Ground Zero Mega Mosque Latest Press Release from : 9/11 Parents & Families of Firefighters & WTC Victims The Rally is not the problem, the mosque is..... "9/11 Parents & Families of Firefighters and WTC Victims" Recently a 9/11 family group called for suppression of the September 11th rally near Ground Zero which opposes the construction of a mosque and cultural center near the sacred ground. Many 9/11 families do not agree with attempting to stop this demonstration - and the majority of our group supports the purpose and principles of this rally. We have been informed that this demonstration will in no way interfere with the Anniversary Commemoration - instead it will be held at the site of the proposed mosque building at Park Place - after the conclusion of the 9/11 ceremony. Numerous family members, including many from out of state, have made arrangements to attend this important gathering. While we respect the rights and opinions of others, we feel that no one should attempt to inhibit the expression of free speech for the large number of 9/11 family members who wish to participate in opposing the construction of this mosque and cultural center. This project represents a gross lack of sensitivity to the 9/11 families and disrespects the memory of all those who were murdered at the WTC both in 1993 and 2001. We affirm that the 9/11 Anniversary is a very special and precious commemoration for all of us. However, we feel that by attending and participating in this rally, families can endeavor to ensure that the sacred ground will continue to be respected for posterity. Many of our family members feel that they have a moral obligation to their loved ones to raise their voices as the world looks upon us and sees our plight. For many family members, the looming, unresolved mosque controversy has made the upcoming September 11th Anniversary even more upsetting and troubling. There can be no peace and reflection for the 9/11 families who strongly feel that this proposed mosque is disrespectful and insensitive. On 9/11, as the world is focusing on Ground Zero, families want to be able to raise their voices and say to the world that this is wrong. While it is possible for some to seek peace and reflection on 9/11 - for others it is better to actively seek justice and honor the legacy of their loved ones by publicly challenging this building whose location so affronts the sensitivity of large numbers of victims' families. While we may all wish for peace and tranquility - if there is no justice for the victims and their families- there will be no peace for any of us. No one is being forced to attend this rally, but all family members should have the right to choose whatever they wish to do. On this most poignant day, relatives and friends of the victims have the right to join together with other 9/11 family members who want their voices to be heard in honor of their lost loved ones.
