Are They Serious? ‘Shariah 4 America’ Group Calls for ‘Burkha’ on Statue of Liberty
As we’ve reported, controversial UK Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary has called on Muslims to “rise to implement the Shari’ah in America,” starting with a planned demonstration in front of the White House on Thursday.
Choudary’s “call for revolution” is being organized and advertised by Shariah4America, a group calling for the “Islamic demolition of the Statue of Liberty” and a remodeling of the White House into a “White Masjid.”
According to the group’s website, the Statue of Liberty “elevates the command of man over the command of God” and public veneration of the statue amounts to idol worship strictly prohibited by Islam. “This has forced sincere Muslims to develop realistic plans that will aid in the removal of the Statue of Liberty.
“Due to the scale of the task at hand, it is highly likely that rigorous safety checks will need to be employed before the demolition of the Statue of Liberty can commence; thus as a temporary measure, it is proposed that a large burkha is used to cover the statue, thereby shielding this horrendous eye sore from public view as well as sending a strong message to its French creators,” the site reads.

Of course, the gigantic burkha is only a temporary solution. Shariah4America goes on to describe “plans” to detonate Lady Liberty with dynamite and build a minaret in her place. “Demolition of the Statue of Liberty is due to begin soon,” the site says. “Explosive charges will be used and so all visitors are advised to steer clear of the building site.” (Is it not against some sort of law to publicly announce you’re going to blow up a major tourist attraction?)
It’s unclear how working to usher in Shariah law impacts architecture, but the group also plans to refashion the White House:
These cartoonish plans beg the question: Is this “Shariah4America” movement for real?
On the other hand, Choudary links to the Shariah4America site from his own website, AnjemChoudary.com, in a post about Thursday’s demonstration.
What do you think: Is this crazy or comedy?

I am not laughing, unless they start shooting, then I may giggle a bit.

"and a remodeling of the White House into a “White Masjid."
The big question is would BHusseinO complain or comply?

Is it just me, or does it look like a combo of the Mormon Temple in DC and Cinderella's castle? No offence, but it seems they took the two ugliest pieces of iconic US archritecture and molded them toghther. If that's their vision, they should be shot for bad taste alone. ;D

He'd be busy bowing

I stated the other day on the Gun, and chicken wings thread that maybe it's time to bring back the militia.
Of course someone is going to pounce on me because modern political correctness says that militia is a bad word.
However when did it change? Militia is simply an armed and organized group of non professional soldiers (citizens) who volunteer to defend their home. Why would anyone (other that the fed.gov) fear that?
I have read the militia oath, they are all about defending the constitution of both the state, and the U.S. The see their role as defensive. I think it's time we start these back up again. After all, BHO said that we should have a civilian force "just as powerful, and just as well funded as the U.S. military."
While I know this is not what he had in mind. I will twist his vision and agree with this sentiment with enthusiasm. ;D

NH Legislature is again trying to pass an authorizing bill for a "State Guard" it passed a couple years ago but the Gov veto'd it. Doesn't matter now since there are enough Rep. to over ride.
