Ace of Spades HQ, Gateway Pundit, The Jawa Report and Bare Nekkid Islam are all reporting about this one… So, I will too.
Looks like the Fred Phelps stooges are going to pull off the ultimate picket:
Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, MI November 18, 2010 8:00 AM – 8:30 AM
Fred Phelps and the WBC will picket the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, MI, the largest mosque in North America, to remind the idolatrous, doomed Muslims that Mohammed was a pedophile and a false prophet. Like most other false religious systems of modern doomed america, Islam teaches rebellion against the Lord Jesus Christ. Muslims claim Christ was merely a prophet and that He did not die and live again. They claim His blood is not sufficient or even necessary for salvation. They shall learn the truth when Christ himself returns!
Commenter Midwest Engineer at Gateway pundit snarks:
Thursday’s news Headline…”Westboro pickets mosque in Dearborn with ‘God Hates Muslims signs””
Friday’s news Headline…”Mysterious bombing in Kansas annihilates controversial church”
Russ over at Ace’s joint really pours it on:
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is like Alien v. Predator, Leonard v. Hagler, Seinfeld v. Newman, Ralph Macchio v. The Cobra Kai Dojo and Olbermann v. Stewart all wrapped up in one delicious bite. If only I had cornered the market on popcorn before this fateful day!
Say it with me now: TWO CULTS ENTER! ONE CULT LEAVES! TWO CULTS ENTER! ONE CULT LEAVES!
Let’s go to the tape:
In the Red corner, wearing wraparound black shades and a poofy polyester vest, we’ve got God’s Own Avenger, Fred Phelps. He’s old, but he’s evil – and he’s all about family. (Which is evidenced by the fact that his “church” is pretty much made up of his extended family members.) He really really really really really really really really really really really really really really disagrees with the current acceptance of homosexuality in modern culture. Up ’til now, he’s warmed up on public events like Matthew Shephard’s funeral, the funerals of US servicemen who died serving their country, and attending the 1988 Democratic National Convention as an invited guest of Al Gore – but now he’s ready to step up a weight class and compete for the Heavyweight Title Belt.
In the Blue corner, wearing a hijab and carrying The Sword of Allah, we’ve got the Dearborn Islamic Center. They don’t hate America…………….but they TOTALLY understand your motivation if you want to shoot up an Army Recruiting Center or lob a bomb into a synagogue. They don’t take kindly to cartoons of their beloved prophet, so expect them to bring their “A” game when their opponents bring out the MOHAMMED WAS A PEDOPHILE signs.
Folks, this will be an EPIC battle. Think “Thunderdome” with monster trucks. Think “Battle of the Bands” with Kiss (in full makeup) and Tenacious D facing off in a ROCKOFF! Think “Snakes on a Plane”……………
Oh wait. Don’t.
This is Fred’s chance to stand up and make himself into a Holy Martyr for the Cause, and I for one hope he takes FULL advantage of the opportunity.
Of course, the downside to Fred becoming a martyr would be the whole death thing, plus upon his arrival at the Pearly Gates he might be just a wee bit shocked to find that the authority on whether or not to allow him to enter has been temporarily delegated to ………… Freddy Mercury.
Let me go on the record of saying this; this will be one Muslim revenge terrorist attack that I will personally endorse. I would go as far to say something to the effect of, “Hell, I’ll drive the damned truck!” But that would be offering to be a supporter of terrorism, and last I checked, that is a BIG FAT NO NO! (when it comes to the feds, that is…) In any other instance; I would be bouncing off the walls trying to warn these people NOT to do something like this. However, Fred Phelps and his little merry band of stooges have gone out of their way to degrade our Nation’s Military, Presidents, Other Churches, and anyone or anything else that disagrees with their moronic interpretation of the Bible. Which is, for what it is worth, an extremist version of Calvinistic Christianity, which is called Absolute Predestination, which is, by the way, rejected by about 99.99% of Calvinist Christians.
In layman’s terms; Calvinism to Christianity is what Unions are to Automobile Plants — a closed shop, in other words. Absolute Predestination is basically the bolting of the windows and the doors, so that nobody and I mean NOBODY can get in or out. Yeah, it is that farking crazy. So crazy in fact, that even Calvinists think it is crazy. Toss in a dash of just straight up hate and you have Fred Phelps. Phelps is basically a Calvinistic Baptist Jim Jones; in the sense of the control that he has over his people. To my knowledge however, Phelps is not into Communism, like Jim Jones was.
Now you understand Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church……and I use that word “church” quite loosely.
