Interpretation

Editor, Times-Union:

If President Obama wants us to be tolerant of the Muslims and allow them to build a mosque next to ground zero, he should first read the Qur'an. The great Imam Rauf speaks of "moral imperative."

It is written in the Qur'an that along with the virgins in the hereafter there also will be handsome young lads described as pearls well guarded and with perpetual freshness. Oh, and I forgot, the men will be sitting on jewel-encrusted thrones.

What are we supposed to gather from that? We are misinterpreting some will say. But, if anyone saw the movie "The Kite Runner" or the documentary "The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan", it does appear to be indeed a choice of options in their culture. Maybe that is why no moral outrage was expressed by them when the Catholic priest scandal was revealed.

This, along with stoning and beheading, is just another example of their depravity. If they succeed in building the mosque, what if some red-blooded American administers frontier justice and blows it up? The cheekiness of the Muslims is just too much to bear. The liberals must decide whether or not they are prepared to spend the rest of their lives with the big boot of the Taliban on their necks.
