To be seen as a crackpot in the Muslim religion would require a Herculean effort.
Do those Mosques get tax breaks afforded other religions?
Why wouldn't they? But I think tax breaks for any/all religion should be stopped.
mujahadeen is not someone who fights only non muslims.. for example in syria...
mujahadeen is referred to someone who fights oppression and tyranny such as the taliban when they fought the soviets.. or when the resisted the US invasion..both were oppressive to the LOCAL population granted the taliban weren't particularly better
If they knew what was being promoted inside, should they?
your definitions are helpful either mujahadeen is a plural for mujahid or engaged in jihad . Since even among muslim scholars the meaning of jihad is debated then its hard to say for what it truly means.
For example you could be striving on a path to God by feeding the homeless and preaching and this would be just a valid form of Jihad as a war to kill unbelievers since its all in interpretation. Im glad you don't take it to mean a literal battle or holy war as some do. But this is the problem with religion is the interpretation god seems to be a particularly bad communicator of his ideas.
actually prophet mohammed himself said to put you hand on an orphans head(as is accepted in eastern cultures as a sign of love) is jihad.. to feed the poor is jihad.. to give to the needy is jihad(money). etc so nota translation problem.. literally thats what the last prophet of islam encouraged.

I read that and asked, how is this not blatantly obvious that they are using public money to support religion.
Great again not what all his followers take from it tho. If what we called radicalist muslims were going around and touching orphans and giving money to the needy we would be having this convo.

It is blatantly obvious but it started long ago in different times. You could never start that now.
Could we end that now?

Western churches have never been emptier while Mosques are going strong. Should end it now.
i guess in the end it comes down to what your rather they want to believe. like that pastor who was promoting the burning of the Quran.. what he doesn't know is thats how it is disposed off in the islamic world when no longer useable..its done in a controlled and respectable manner after all it is a religious text..many people i know sent emails to him offering to give old unusable Quran copies if he promises to follow the traditions of the process. he did not respond. maybe the all went directly to spam who knows..
i do not recall the guys name.. the guy with the big mustache.
