Kenney tells Chick-fil-A president to take a hike

Kenney tells Chick-fil-A president to take a hike
Jan Ransom
Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy's recent comments about gay marriage has caused quite a stir across the country and has City Councilman Jim Kenney fired-up.
Last week during a radio show Cathy said, "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" Cathy said. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."
Cathy later said that he is supportive of the "biblical definition of the family unit."
"It is with profound disillusionment and a sense of deep sadness that I write this letter in response to your recent comments. Last week you expressed support for denying gay Americans the prized right of marriage that heterosexual couples in this country so freely take for granted."
"As an American you are legally entitled to your opinion, regardless of how insensitive and intolerant it may be, but as a fellow American and an elected member of Philadelphia City Council; I am entitled to express my opinion as well. So please – take a hike and take your intolerance with you. There is no place for this type of hate in our great City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection."
And when City Council returns in September, Kenney said he will introduce a resolution condemning Cathy and the company. Check out the rest of Kenney's letter here.

It all started many years ago when Northerners wrote letters to the Southern states asking them to outlaw slavery.
It took more than 600,000 people dying to get a good answer.
Good for Kelley.
And I thank you for bringing this to my attention.
What would white people say if

Animals in Labs, Part 2
Monday, May 21st, 2012Tax dollars thrown away on pointless animal experiments
By Alisa Mullins
A report issued a couple years ago by Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla., blasted 100 "questionable," "mismanaged" and "poorly planned" stimulus-funded projects, including an especially pointless and cruel experiment that the report aptly called "Monkeys Getting High for Science." The study in question was being conducted at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, a Winston Salem, N.C.–based facility that was awarded $71,623 in stimulus funds to feed cocaine to monkeys.
"I think all of [the projects] are waste," McCain told ABC News. "[S]ome are more egregious than others but all of them are terrible."
Hooking monkeys on coke definitely falls into the "more egregious" category. Unfortunately, this study is just a drop in the proverbial crack pipe. Wasteful and cruel addiction studies on animals are currently being conducted all over the country—and most are simply slight variations on experiments that have been conducted for years. Often the "results" have been known for years as well. Click to continue »

Hey all,
I recently received Arkham plus the King in Yellow expansion second hand from a friend.
Looking through them however I seem to be missing a couple of gate encounter cards, both from the expansion. One is red bordered and one is yellow (I'm assuming because these two colors have less cards than the rest)
Anyone can help figure out what the encounters on these 2 cards are? Google isn't helping.

Look through the King in Yellow OW cards here: www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Other_World
Without Signature
Thanks! I found the yellow one..
However that page seems to list two copies of the Plateau of Leng / Abyss red gate card. Is this correct? Because I only have one.
Without Signature
I did a bit more mucking around on that site and I pieced together the following:
You tread water, looking for any sign of land, when something brushes against your leg. Spend 1 gate trophy, 5 toughness worth of monster trophies, or 3 Clue tokens. If you cannot, you are devoured.
The light of the moon seems to bend and twist the night around you into fearsome shapes. Pass a Will(-2) check or lose 1 Sanity and 1 Stamina.
For once, fortune is with you. No encounter.
Does this card exist? It should have a red border.

Dressing Room
Popular twenties burlesques performed for urban audiences featured the newly minted American chorus girl—a career girl willing to appear barely clad, and disciplined enough to execute the choreography designed for an audience of American men with a taste for efficient, machinelike precision. These performers were a favorite subject for the painter Walt Kuhn, who earned extra income as a stage and costume designer for popular entertainments. This chorus girl strikes the quintessential pose of the body-conscious twenties female, with arms raised and hands behind her head, fully exposing a powdered expanse of chest and shoulders.

Full-size replica of the Lewis Chessmen Warder from the National Museums Scotland collection in new mock ivory finish, Made by hand in the United Kingdom. 3D laser scans were taken of some of the pieces in the collection to create these authentic poly-resin replicas exclusive to National Museums Scotland. This warder wears a long heavy protective coat, split at the front and back to improve agility in battle. He carries a large shield on his right arm and a large sword in his left and has a pointed conical battle helmet. The Lewis chessmen are one of the most popular objects on display in the National Museum of Scotland. The Viking cache of ninety-three figures, carved from walrus tusk and probably made in Scandinavia in the 12th century, were found some 700 years later in a the sand on Uig bay in 1831. The artistry varies from piece to piece but it's the facial expressions that divulge their true characteristics and quality. The collection included four distinct sets. Eleven figures are currently owned by National Museums Scotland and the remaining eighty-two are in the British Museum in London. NOTE: These are full size ornamental versions of the Lewis Pieces and are not suitable as replacements for the National Museums Isle of Lewis Chess Set

FxFoto Standard provides organization and editing, including cropping, text annotation, auto improve, red eye and blemish removal and a powerful clone brush. It can save edited JPEG and TIFF photo files. But it cannot save FxFoto's own collage format for multi-photo layouts and slide shows. The Standard Edition cannot create multi-photo collages, layouts, scrapbook pages and slide shows. And advanced creativity features such as FxFoto's artistic Filter Effects, Color Brush, Stamp Brush and special Crop Patterns are also not enabled. However, the Standard Edition has trial versions of most of these advanced commands which let you view the results on screen without saving. So in addition to being a surprisingly useful photo organization and editing tool, FxFoto Standard lets you try many advanced Deluxe and Creative features. |

(Continuing from Bellows and Whimpers)
"How you doing, snucklebum?" I nudge him, watching his profile silhouette, lit randomly by the hall light. I see the sudden gleam of silver as he fights tears again, hear him whimper once, and then he sniffs.
"I love you Mum." he states against my arm, resting his forehead near my shoulder.
"I love you too," I kiss into his hair, brain stalling and fizzing like sherbet about the next bit. I suck in a long slow breath, let it seep out, then quietly state "I need to talk to you."
"Hmmm?" he breathes, twisting to peer at me with one eye.
"I'm worried that you're confusing things. Stuff that has happened, and what you think happened, or wish had happened. So I'm going to go over it again for you, the stuff I've told you before."
I have his absolute attention, and my pulse ramming through my veins. I take a deep breath, and charge into the Valley Of Things Unhoped For Yet Revisited [Maps Not Available].
"Your Dad was a good man." Wong's eyes ratchet wide, startled at this opening volley. I look into his eyes, and nod in emphasis. "He was, Wong. He was a good man." Another breath, this one still deep but not as jagged. "He loved you. Don't doubt that. He loved you, and your brother, and he loved me. He loved God, and believed in Christ, and really was a good man."
Wong shifts slightly on the bed beside me, until he's lying on his back, hands clasped gently across his belly, reflecting my deliberately casual sprawl. I glance sideways at him, and his eyes are still wide, with a sheen thickly balanced against his bottom lid.
"Your Dad was a good man. But he started making decisions which lead to him to do things.." another breath, a wordless prayer sent hurtling through the atmosphere " wrong things. He decided to go and spend time with people, and lied about who they were and what they were doing. He was a good man, and he had his agency, and used his agency to change."
I can't believe I'm saying this stuff, I think to myself, trying to find an almost stable footing on the topic's rocky valley floor. When will this whole mess be done and history? Wong frowns beside me, and I abruptly recognise a mash up of my grandfather' and Wong's paternal grandfather's frown creasing his forehead, bobbing his nose and raising his chin. Oh, I realise yet again. Never. Our families are always part of who we are.
I slowly blow out a sigh, knowing the next bit of ground will involve painful jabs, ragged edges and scraped memories. "He started to spend more time with Jezzie. Even though they were both married. And they decided they wanted to be together." Wong sobs once, twice beside me, his pox dappled belly twitching with the effort of staying quiet and calm. We hook our arms together, and take some time to contemplate the ceiling and other mysteries.
"George was a good man, Wong. He was a good Dad. He loved you very much. I'm sure he still thinks about you. But I'm worried you're not understanding what happened, that he was a good man and made decisions which hurt you, and your brother, and me and have contributed to us being here, right now. I know you wish things were different-" I pause as a silver bead plunges over the curve of his cheek, and I lean in to kiss his forehead "we all do. Wong....." In my head I stand at the edge of a dark green pool of water, rust brown rocks around me as I toss a round stone in, and watch the cream of it dissolve into the cool, hungry depths "I wish things were different. I miss the man I thought he was, and it's okay for you to miss him too."
He squeezes my hand, and sniffs tears back. "But I'm worried you're spending your time and energy looking backwards, and not forwards. I know you're angry, and frustrated, and disappointed." The bed shimmies slightly as Wong nods energetically, "That's totally fine. I still feel that way sometimes too, and that's okay. But it's important to look forward. If you keep looking back, you're not planning for the future - for the things you want to do with your life, for the Dad you want to be to your kids. If you're looking behind you, you have no idea where you're going. Do you understand?"
He pauses, considers, and grudgingly nods again.
I see him chewing over thoughts, so we lie in quiet for a minute. I'm prepping myself for the next leg of the valley's conversation; it's loose slag, skittering chunks of slate hiding blackberry coils and potholes. And all ridiculously steep, leading uphill.
"Wong, I think it's time you try something. I know it's hard just to think about, and even harder to try to do, but it's important to forgive your dad for hurting you."
Trying to find my sanity, which is usually either missing, questionable or self-doubting...

I've never commented, but have followed your blog for awhile, admiring you, your strength and your willingness to admit your weakness too.
I admire the way you handled this conversation with your son. I love that you let him know that there was goodness in his dad - and that these boys have a mother that cares more about doing the right, good thing than exacting revenge and breeding hatred. Well done - you are an example to me. Thank you. - 11:49 am

You are one wise mother. I'm impressed with the goodness in your words, in what could be a time of shared bitterness.

Apple Inc claims it is entitled to $2.525 billion of damages in its high-stakes battle against Samsung Electronics Co over patents for technology used in smartphones and tablets, such as the iPhone and iPad. According to a partially redacted filing on Tuesday with a federal court in San Jose, California, Apple believes Samsung owes "substantial monetary damages" because the Korean company illegally "chose to compete by copying Apple." Apple said this allowed Samsung to overtake it as the world's largest maker of smartphones, and reap "billions of dollars in profits" while costing Apple $500 million of profit. Read the full story at Reuters.

"The car is great except for the interior space. The interior styling is something I liked it very much The drive is very good. The car overly to be customized.

"This car is great, but the cars.com site and the resulting process with the dealers was completely unhelpful. The dealers were unresponsive, uncooperative and not supportive of a web based or email based experience. After receiving the quotes, the first position of the dealers was to ask me to set up an appointment and come into the dealership...do people still buy cars that way. I wound up getting the car i wanted for $1,000 under dealer cost by working via email and over the phone outside of cars.com."
I would recommend this car to a friend: Yes
Primary use for this car: N/A
"So far (~2000 mi), it's been fantastic. the 3 position switch on the auto transmission (eco, comfort, sport) makes the car feel like 3 different vehicles. Eco-mode de-tunes the engine a bit, dropping the power delivery and accelearation, but it is giving me ~29mpg for my 100+ miles / day commute. A nice 30+% boost from my last car. Comfort mode drops the shift point down compared with sport and smooths out the gear changes (which is an 8 speed tranny). The car still kicks plenty in comfy mode with a little push on the accelerator. It seems like the big difference between comfort and sport is the shift point. Sport-mode turns it into a head slapping rocket. Super quick and nimble. I highly recommend a good radar detector. In sport-mode, this car begs to be really driven. It's like deciding whether to take your dog to the beach and keeping it on a leash or letting it just run. Both puppies want to go and will yank at the leash until you final give in (insert big Cheshire Cat grin here) Frankly, I'm grateful that the other modes exist to help mute the temptation (a little). Given the lightweight feel of the car coupled with loads of torque and an 8 speed gearbox, this car skates along very nicely at ticket inducing speeds and still manages pretty low rpms to keep fuel consumption in check (in comfy mode, one can do 70 and only be at around 1500-2000 rpm). As one would expect, handling is outstanding. Very well balanced. Chassis feels light and nimble w/o sacrificing solid feel. Love it. The engine shuts off when stopped at a light with your foot on the brake, and restarts when you take your foot off the brake. Restart is so fast that the engine is running again before your foot touches the gas pedal. It seems pretty smart about when not to shut off the engine (e.g. on a hill, cold engine, etc.). Creature comforts for me are the nav system (which is excellent), leather, wood trim, and the cold weather package. Keyless entry and start works flawlessly. Only nitpick so far is the fact that the passenger side wiper stops dead center in the drivers line of vision before going back to passengers side. Not a biggie, but if there's crud on the road (like we often have in New England), the wiper line left in your vision is annoying. A surprising that this issue has been around apparently for a few of years, given the level of attention paid by BMW to engineering detail and excellence. Overall, this is a great vehicle, and with my extended warranty/service plan, I shouldn't need to do a thing for 100K makes this competitive in the value arena. In the gee whiz arena, it rocks. Highly recommended. My other car is a BMW motorcycle (my 2nd), and they have been great, so I'm bullish on the brand."

Our Pool Service Will Detection Your Inground Pool Leaks
All Pro Leak Detector, a locally owned fully licensed and insured pool service company that has been serving Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Richardson, and surrounding ares for over a decade. Our Pro Leak Detection utilizes the most modern methods of pool leak detection and pool repair which make us the premere pool service company in the Dallas Meterplex. Our pool service company can detect those hard to find inground pool leaks through several different methods and preform the proper pool repair
Where Pool Leaks Come From?
The process of pool leak detection can often be difficult for a nonprofessional. The location of the inground pool leak can often be easily detected if you have a large amount of water flowing from a certain spot. Although in some cases the swimming pool leak detection can become quite a difficult task. Often water shows up in one side of the pool and the actual leak is on the other side of the pool.
All Pro Leak Detector Can Detect Pool Leaks Through Several Different Methods:
- Swimming Pool Pipe Leak Detection
- Pool Plumbing Leak Detection
- Inground Swimming Pool Shell Leak Detection
- Pressure Testing of Underground Plumbing
- Electronic Listening Technology
Pool Leak Detection Techniques
All Pro Leak Detection uses modern technology to detect the your pool leak. This technology enables our technicians to conduct repairs without major disruption. Our sophisticated pool leak detection equipment along with All Pro Leak Detector's qualified technicians can find the smallest leak in your system. If you are unfamiliar with pool service repair techniques, repairing a pool leak is best left to the professionals. Some companies offer a pool leak repair solution in a bottle, but these types of products are a temporary fix covering up the leak for a short period of time often causing a higher pool repair bill for a permanent pool repair solution.
Pool Leak Detection Methods:
- Swimming pool leak detection with a supersensitive microphone. By injecting air or inert gas into a pipe the sounds of the gas escaping are easily detected. Once the pool leak detection method has identified the leak, the pool repair can me made with minimal damage.
- Swimming pool leak detection with compressed air. Air is used to pressurize the pipe displacing the water inside exposing the leak.
- An inground pool leak detection method to identify cracks in a pool structure is the use of dye. As the dye is added to the water, the leak will appear as the dye begins to circulate through the current indicating the area where pool repair is needed.

User experience management has an enormous impact on the business. End users expect a flawless online experience and the ability to interact with businesses at any time, from anywhere and through any device. IT must be able to proactively identify, diagnose and resolve performance problems before they negatively impact end users and disrupt revenue-generating services. But, the lack of real-time visibility into all end-user transactions across physical, virtual, cloud and mainframe environments as well as a limited understanding of how poorly performing end-user transactions impact business outcomes work to impede IT's ability to ensure an exceptional end-user experience.
Join us on August 21 as Dennis Drogseth, Vice President at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) discusses the end-user experience, what it means to your bottom line, and why it has become a shared concern for both IT and the business. Melissa Sargeant, Sr. Director of Product Marketing at CA Technologies, joins Dennis to discuss why IT management should strongly consider a solution that provides a complete understanding of how application, network and infrastructure components affect service quality, so that IT organizations can not only simplify IT complexity, but also improve service quality for business partners and customers

Dove World Outreach Christian Center Christmas Message "Hate to the World"
by Sheila Musaji
updates at bottom of article
I thought that I was beyond being shocked by the level of blind hatred towards Islam and Muslims expressed by some segments of the American population. However when I was sent a link to this Dove World Outreach Video Christmas message http://loganswarning.com/?p=514 which ends with "Merry Christmas From the Dove World Outreach Center where Jesus is King and Islam is of the Devil" and which includes "Islam is of the devil" spelled out in Christmas lights along with a nativity scene and with the song "We wish you a Merry Christmas" playing in the background - I was shocked. These are the same folks who brought us this same sentiment on a sign in front of their church, and on tee-shirts worn the first week of school by some of the children from their church. The message is very similar to Franklin Graham's "Islam is evil" statement, and Lynn Torgerson's congressional campaign based on religious hatred and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Somehow this "Christmas message" of hate is particularly disturbing. Why use an occasion that is one of the most important celebrations in Christianity to inflame religious passions and defame another religion? It seems to me that this demeans any positive message of this season. It is just another example of religion being used as source of conflict rather than as a resource for peace. We desperately need interfaith dialogue and such messages only drive a wedge further between people holding different religious beliefs. If any of us are going to survive, we will need to do better than this. As a Muslim, I wish all Christians a Blessed Christmas, and all Jews a Happy Hannukah. I wish all of us of every faith (or no faith) PEACE ON EARTH. I pray that all people of every faith are guided so that it is possible we may find it possible to respect and honor each other and live together in peace. (And, yes, my wish for a blessed Christmas goes also to the Dove World Outreach folks).
I would also hope that those who hold such hateful views of others might read an article by Sarah Joseph Jesus's message should unite us all from which I will quote a few brief passages: "How, then, is it ever possible to imagine that Christ could be a bridge between people? I would contend that, although the two traditions will not agree on his death, it is in his life where common ground is to be found. Indeed, the narrative of his life to be found within Christianity and Islam could provide a healing balm for the whole world, and not just Muslims and Christians. ... However, there is no denying that Muslims and Christians deeply disagree about the nature of Jesus. I believe, though, that if we look beyond the differences and chose to examine Christ's life together and to learn from each other, then his life's narrative of surrender, service and sacrifice; love and compassion can provide the most amazing starting point for a life-, even world-changing discourse."
Dove World Outreach has announced that it will be sponsoring a "Burn the Koran" day on September 11th 2010. Terry Jones, the church pastor said the purpose is To bring to awareness to the dangers of Islam and that the Koran is leading people to hell. Eternal fire is the only destination the Koran can lead people to so we want to put the Koran in it's place — the fire!"
Dove World Outreach also led a protest against the Islamic Center of Gainesville, FL and endorsed the Westboro Baptist Church.
Christian Brotherly Love is certainly difficult for some to attain.
Juan Cole has just published an article Burning the Qur'an? 'Wherever they burn books, they will in the end Burn Human Beings' which gets to the heart of this bigotry. He said "The German poet Heinrich Heine (d. 1856), in his play lamenting the forced conversion of Spain's Muslims to Christianity, "Almansor," wrote, "Wherever they burn books, in the end they will burn human beings." (When the Nazis burned books in 1933, Heine's were among those set afire, and his prediction was borne out)." The whole article is a must read.
Rev. Terry Jones of this "church" can be seen in this video saying that "Muslims are welcome in our country". Sorry, Rev., but Muslims are Americans and part of this country which doesn't belong to any one segment of our citizenry. What an @#s
The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) has urged the cancellation of this Qur'an burning http://www.nae.net/news-and-events/469-press-release-nae-urges-cancellation-of-planned-quran-burning
Although the fire department has refused a burn permit for this event, the pastor says that he will go ahead with the burning. It had been announced that an armed group called Right Wing Extreme was coming to "protect" the church during the Qur'an burning. However, today Right Wing Extreme announced that they have had a change of heart. CNN reports that "While the group agrees with the Dove Center's stance on Islam, press coverage of recent events, such as "Burn a Quran Day," a recent "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" group on Facebook and the controversy surrounding a proposed mosque and Islam community center near ground zero in New York is "really inciting a lot of hatred and a lot of violence that's going on," Right Wing Extreme founder Shannon Carson told CNN. "We don't want to be a part of inciting violence and racism anymore."
Where does it end when we as a society accept that bigotry and prejudice towards some of our citizens is acceptable? I believe that this is a dangerous thought process and that it will lead us down a very slippery slope that will ultimately include other citizens as equally "acceptable" targets. Akbar Ahmed notes that the pastor of the Dove World Outreach Church who is planning a "Burn the Qur'an Day" on September 11th has agreed when asked to do so in an internet podcast interview, to burn "a couple of copies of the Talmud" too. Perhaps, if the Talmud is also burned, the ADL will reconsider its unconscionable position on the Cordoba House. We already know that anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are closely linked. Will Qur'an and Talmud burnings be enough, or will these same folks move on to the Book of Mormon, the Bhagavad Gita, or other books they don't approve of?
AMANA, The American Muslim Association of North America today issued a statement calling on all Muslims in and outside the U.S. not to use any form of violence against the Dove World Church or anyone involved with this Qur'an burning demonstration http://www.theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/amana_issues_a_statement_against_any_violence_against_burn_a_quran_demonstr/0018211

Slate published an important article on this event - We Didn't Start the Fire: You aren't responsible for Quran burners. Don't hold Muslims responsible for 9/11 by William Saletan http://www.slate.com/id/2266535/ Please read the full article with links, but here are some important highlights
Two days ago, hundreds of Afghans gathered in Kabul to denounce the United States for burning the Quran. They torched American flags, chanted "Death to America," and carried signs calling for the death of President Obama. Some of them hurled rocks at U.S. troops. A student in the crowd said of the planned Quran burning: "We know this is not just the decision of a church. It is the decision of the president and the entire United States."
He's wrong, of course. The Quran burning is the brainchild of a Florida minister and his tiny fundamentalist church. It has been condemned by the White House, the State Department, the commanding U.S. general in Afghanistan, Christian organizations, and countless Americans. But when clerics in Egypt denounce the incendiary plan, we feel the heat. When thousands of Muslims rally against it in Indonesia, they do so outside our embassy. When an imam in Kabul threatens retaliation, he casts a shadow on all of us: "If they decide to burn the holy Quran, I will announce jihad against these Christians and infidels."
This is how it feels to be judged by the sins of others who destroy in the name of your faith. You're no more responsible for 30 Christian extremists in Florida than Muslims are for the 19 hijackers of 9/11. Yet most of us, when polled, say that no Muslim house of worship should be built near the site of the 9/11 attacks. In saying this, we implicitly hold all Muslims accountable for the crime of those 19 people.
Now you know how it feels to be judged that way. It's inaccurate, and it's wrong.
Jon Stewart dealt with this on last nights Daily Show program - http://www.theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/jon_stewart_is_a_mensch/0018186
BREAKING NEWS: Three new developments all dovetail, and it will be interesting to watch developments. 1) Hisham Elzanaty, one of the project developers and a major funder of the site purchase says he is willing to sell the property for the right price. His quote from the AP "I'm a businessman. This was a mere business transaction for me. Develop it, raze it, sell it," he said. "If someone wants to give me 18 or 20 million dollars today, it's all theirs." — 2) Donald Trump has made a bid to purchase the property. The offer also contains one key condition—that any mosque built by the backers elsewhere "would be located at least five blocks further from the World Trade Center site". — 3) Rev. Terry Jones who is planning the Qur'an burning in Florida told Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida "He told me that if it's put on hold or relocated, he's willing to back down." Musri is waiting to meet with Jones at the outreach center in Gainesville. Musri said he will offer Jones an opportunity to meet with Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.
Within an hour of putting the news online, I was notified that USA Today is reporting that Rev. Jones has agreed to cancel the Qur'an burning and is flying to New York to meet with Imam Abdul Rauf on Saturday. According to the report "He said he decided to cancel his protest because the leader of a planned Islamic Center near ground zero has agreed to move its controversial location. The agreement couldn't be immediately confirmed."
And for the rest of the night, conflicting reports just kept coming in.
An Australian site reported that "But the AFP and Reuters news agencies both reported that the deal had been denied by sources close to the imam of the so-called 'Ground Zero Mosque', who said there was no agreement to move the development away from Ground Zero." The NY Times quotes CNN as reporting that Imam Rauf said in a statement that he had not spoken to Mr. Jones or Mr. Musri. "I am glad that Pastor Jones has decided not to burn any Korans," Mr. Rauf said. "However, I have not spoken to Pastor Jones or Imam Musri. I am surprised by their announcement. We are not going to toy with our religion or any other, nor are we going to barter. We are here to extend our hands and build peace and harmony."
AJC reports that "Musri told The Associated Press there was an agreement for him and Jones to travel to New York and meet Saturday — on the actual anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — with the imam overseeing plans to build a mosque near ground zero. "I told the pastor that I personally believe the mosque should not be there, and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is moved," Musri said. "But there is not any offer from there (New York) that it will be moved. All we have agreed to is a meeting, and I think we would all like to see a peaceful resolution." Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said he was surprised by the announcement and that he would not barter. Speaking to reporters later, Jones was adamant that he was promised that the Islamic center would be moved, and said he would be "very, very disappointed" if it were not."
Donald Trump's offer has been turned down as too small an offer. And CNBC clarified that what Trump was offering was not the purchase of the entire property, but an offer to buy an investor's stake in the property.
A spokesman for the developer leading the investment team declined to confirm Elzanaty's claim that he has a majority stake in the partnership, or comment on whether he needs approval from the rest of the group to decide the fate of the two buildings.
Jones is saying that the Qur'an burning is only suspended and may still happen. He says the local Imam lied to him, and that he only agreed to cancel the event because he thought there had been an agreement that the NYC center would be moved.
After making the previous statement, he said on "Good Morning America" that he definitely would not follow through.
As if all of this confusion is not enough, the notorious Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church says that if Jones doesn't burn the Qur'an then his church will burn the Qur'an and an American Flag on 9/11
These folks just don't seem to get enough publicity. During the counter protest of Anjem Choudary's pro-Sharia demonstration at the White House (which didn't take place and was most likely also a publicity stunt by Choudary who is a Muslim version of Jones) there was a reprehensible incident. You can read all about this event here. Watch the video, people chanting "Jesus", "Jesus", "Jesus" and acting like barbaric bigots while insulting a Muslim man who has nothing to do with Anjem Choudary's crowd, and who was attempting simply to pray. There is another, longer video of this event here in which you can see Randall Terry telling the Rev. Terry Jones that he shouldn't have blinked on the Burn the Qur'an day, and Jones saying he plans to hold an "International Judge the Koran" event on March 20th.
Jones did go ahead with his "Judge the Koran" event and burned a Qur'an **
Now, he says that he is coming to hold a demonstration in front of the Islamic Center of America on April 11th (Good Friday). He is calling this an "Anti-Sharia & Jihad Protest".
The Dearborn Press reports that Jones issued a statement saying "It is necessary that we set very clear lines for Muslims that are here in America," Jones said in a written statement. "They are welcome to be here. They are welcome to worship. They are welcome to build mosques. But we do expect them to honor and obey our Constitution." If they desire to change our Constitution, in other words to institute sharia, then these Muslims are no longer welcome in our country. Now is the time that we make a very, very clear statement to radical Islam."
And how is the Dearborn mosque responding to this? Niraj Warikoo reports But some local Muslims say they'll welcome Jones when he makes his April 22 visit. They hope that Jones will meet with them to talk about Islam. One leader even plans to invite Jones inside the mosque to share a meal. "We should show him hospitality," said Eide Alawan, a longtime interfaith leader at the Islamic Center. "I would hope we could welcome the minister, maybe have other clergy come in for brunch at our mosque. "When you break bread with someone, you see them in a different light."
I not only hope, but pray that this voice of reason will prevail.
Sadly, an Afghan protest against the Qur'an burning has resulted in the deaths of 12 U.N. workers. This was condemned by American Muslim organizations.

Bridging the divide: Maggie struggles to find new identity among tourists, second-home owners and year-round residents
Written by Bibeka Shrestha- Haywood room tax hike deep-sixed
- Jackson 'Up to Good' as it 'Play(s) On' with tourism branding messages
- Maggie logjam shows no sign of breaking 'til fall election
- Thanks to a mighty big carrot, Swain sets its sights on the future
- Beloved amusement park brought back to life one piece at a time
- The fine print of 'paid for by' line debated by tourism funding arm
- Window is closing for stalled room tax increase in Haywood
- One-size-fits-all tourism brand sought for Jackson
Home to 3,000 motel rooms yet only 1,610 year-round residents, Maggie Valley can't exactly escape the term "tourist town."
Anyone driving through the main drag passing a long line of lodging options would know. But perhaps less evident to visitors is the precarious balancing act the town constantly faces in satisfying both tourist and local needs.
In helping to achieve that delicate equilibrium and develop a vision for future growth, Maggie Valley has formed its own Economic Development Advisory Committee. Though the town officially created an economic development advisory commission way back in September 2005, the ball finally got rolling on the committee only recently.
The seven members appointed to the committee last month will serve as a liaison between businesses, the town and citizens of the community. The commission has met twice so far to formulate a better idea of its responsibilities and avoid redundancies.
The EDC faces the gargantuan task of creating an attractive model of growth that will satisfy everybody, from year-round residents to the increasing number of second-home owners to tourists simply visiting for a few days. Since Maggie Valley has long catered to tourists, one of the EDC's tasks may be to update the town's tourism model, which has been criticized in the past for being somewhat outdated.
As the main breadwinner for the Haywood Tourism Development Authority, with nearly 60 percent of the authority's revenues coming from Maggie Valley, how the town handles its growth - and how that affects tourism - will clearly be relevant outside its borders.
What Maggie Valley wants
The EDC has discussed the idea of surveying residents and local business owners to learn more about what the community craves in terms of growth. Asking Maggie Valley residents about what they'd like to see developed in their town will naturally elicit some divergent reactions, but there does seem to be a near consensus on some issues. While many acknowledge that tourism is the "lifeblood" of Maggie Valley, they would like to see more services for full-time residents.
One step in that direction is to keep businesses open year round.
"Some of us who are open need to survive the winter," said Gabriela Edwards, co-owner of A Holiday Motel. "The ski area is great and Tube World is great, but they're done in the evening so it's like, what do we do now?"
"More businesses in Maggie Valley need to bite the bullet and stay open year round," Joe Moody, who serves on the board of directors for the Maggie Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Bob LaBracio, who owns Specialty Lock & Door Company, said he'd like to see stores selling more than just "T-shirts and trinkets" open all year.
Also on LaBracio's wish list are healthier choice restaurants and specialty grocery stores like Earth Fare and Greenlife. Many residents interviewed expressed interest in having a grocery store of any kind developed so they wouldn't have to drive elsewhere to pick up groceries.
Ken Johnson, chairman of the newly formed EDC, said it's been difficult to bring a grocery store to Maggie Valley since there are so few full-time residents, but a specialty store might be a feasible option. Making up for Maggie Valley's sparse population, a specialty store would have a broad demographic and attract people from neighboring counties.
However, there is at least one point of contention for residents: fast food chain restaurants. Some residents prefer more options for a quick bite to eat, while others are strongly against chain establishments.
"I'd like to see McDonald's and Dairy Queen [rather than] go all the way over to Waynesville," said Gene O'Kelley, a regular on the front bench of the Shell gas station in town. "McDonald's would do good here."
"I don't mind going to Waynesville," said Joanne Martin, owner of Fireside Cottages and Mountaineer Restaurant. "I don't want Burger King and McDonald's up and down."
Other suggestions for businesses included a pharmacy, a doctor's office, a dentist's office and more medical facilities in general.
Preservation as a goal
Jim Higel, owner of Legends Sports Grill, said Maggie Valley might just need more of the same.
"We need more shops, motels and restaurants," Higel said. "If you have a motel in the middle of the desert, you're bankrupt. If you have 500, you're Las Vegas."
But being akin to Las Vegas is a far cry from what other residents want.
"It's not what you want to see, it's what you don't want to see," said Wayne Busch, owner of America Rides Maps. "I prefer not seeing any change at all, but it's going to come."
Though some Maggie Valley residents can spout off a list of things they'd like to add to the town, there are some facets of Maggie Valley living they do not want touched.
Busch said industry and manufacturing should not even be considered. "What we got here is somewhat fragile," said Busch.
Brenda O'Keefe, owner of Joey's Pancake House, said she'd like to see Maggie Valley take a step back and focus on its mountain culture.
"I think we can market ourselves in a different way," said O'Keefe. "I have always wanted this area to look back toward heritage culture."
Kathleen Klawitter, a member of the EDC, moved to Maggie Valley a month after her first visit last year. She said she is interested most in preserving what brought her here in the first place though she knows growth is somewhat inevitable.
"I believe Maggie Valley will grow anyway. Its beauty and tranquility will invite growth," said Klawitter.
Steve Shiver, another EDC member and president of Ghost Town, said there is a need to officially gather community input and data collection to see both what residents desire and what is possible.
According to Shiver, Maggie Valley's infrastructure can handle more tourists. Drawing more visitors to the area would benefit everybody in town with better tax revenues, he said.
But for now, the town's major projects seem to include a focus on residents. The town is putting in two wheelchair accessible river decks in Parham Park near Jonathan Creek and working on getting a "very promising" $1.3 million in stimulus funds to build the first residential sidewalk in Maggie Valley.
