Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi (Qaradhawi) is one of those calling for a "Day of Rage" in the Muslim World over the Pope's remarks. He, of course, is trying to emphasize that it be a "peaceful" Day of Rage. Of course, when people come pouring out of Mosques on a Friday to protest the latest perceived outrage, these events are marked by their quiet, dignified righteousness...ahem.
Now recall that Qaradhawi was the guy used by the Islamic Society of Boston as a fund-raising name, and that he was added as an honorary Director to the project. Honorary or not, the ISB are Qaradhawi's kind of peeps.
And if it were not for the attention that the Boston Mosque project received, attention the ISB is now attempting to quash through lawsuits and subpoenas, the ISB would never have had to distance itself from this man and his type, and we'd now have, here in Catholic Boston, a major center of "peaceful rage" over the remarks of the Pope.
Part of their ongoing PR campaign: "Muslims: Stop Calling Us 'Violent,' Or We'll Kill You."...

3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

That was really funny. In West Rogers Park (Chicago) there are a few neighborhoods that are primarily religious, several shul concentrations on certain streets. So when the local Palestini applied for a variance to build a mosque with a big dome, the locals fought it successfully.
Someone tell me why (I guess I don't get it) they would want to build in a frum neighborhood.
AND DON'T TELL ME IT'S BECAUSE WE DRESS MODESTLY AROUND HERE! (although that is true, I guess).
