Alaska’s first mosque has risen quietly over the last few years in a gravel lot in a South Anchorage commercial district, a neighbor to a Korean Presbyterian church, a couple of auto repair garages, a drive-through Chinese restaurant and a Sons of Norway hall.
A few weeks ago, Sam Obeidi, vice president of the Islamic Community Center Anchorage Alaska, turned a key and pushed open the mosque’s door, flipping on a light in a hallway that smelled of drywall plaster and new carpet.
Palestinian by birth, Obeidi came to Alaska as a teenager to join his father, a refugee, who settled in Anchorage in the 1960s. In those days, Muslims met and prayed in his father’s home. Obeidi’s family now owns a frame shop and gallery. He has been involved with the mosque-building project for the last five years of an effort that began 15 years ago.
Anchorage Muslims have so far raised $2 million to build the 15,000-square-foot facility, and must raise $1 million more before the prayer hall is completed and two minarets are placed on the mosque’s roof.
The mosque is perhaps the clearest sign yet that Islam in the U.S. is rapidly pushing beyond traditional population centers such as Detroit and Los Angeles.
The Islamic holy land may be more than 6,000 miles away, but Anchorage has increasingly become a destination for Muslims, who now number as many as 3,000 in the city.
As the number of American Muslims grows through both immigration and higher-than-average birthrates, domes and minarets are sprouting in areas as varied as the eastern mountains of Kentucky and Louisiana’s parishes.
The building boom reflects American Muslims’ desire for a sense of permanence as their religion shifts from one mainly imported by immigrants to one practiced by their American-born children and grandchildren, Muslim leaders say.
The Muslim population in the U.S. is expected to more than double by 2030, to 6.2 million.
In 2000, the same study counted 314 mosques; by 2011, that number had more than doubled to 632.
I'm glad that I don't live close enough to hear the Muslim call to prayer broadcast out of those minarets five times per day. I hope that the people of Anchorage prevent that kind of noise pollution.

And its totally wrong to have to fight the battle by having babies... here we have been somewhat repsonible and don't just keep having kids... regardless.. what does it net us.
Wive and I have zero so we didn't help any, but it should not be about baby count. Stop the SOBs, kick em out, keep em out.

The mosques are everywhere with more coming all the time. There are three of them in middle Georgia. All are suspiciously located in the general area of Robins Air Force Base.
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

Won't be long before Muzzies will be running muzzies to vote for. Just like Lebanon and what's happening in UK.

Absolutely it will. I'm surprised they don't have Sharia in a couple of towns in the midwest already. I see it coming town by town first. I'd say the camel has his whole head under the tent at this point. Need someone with the Gajonies to send them back. Trump or Cruz?????

Someday people will realize that this is a cult not a religion. It is a way of life with 2 choices. Join or Die. Islam is not a religion it is a cult.
It's even more than that. Islam is political, and it's also a culture.So it doesn't exactly fall under the same "freedom of religion" protections that most religions do.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
Our form of government is based upon the separation of church and state, the right to own firearms, freedom of speech and freedom of religion........So what is the difference?
Is it safe to say that you do not support the constitution?
I don't consider Islam a freedom of religion matter becuase of their demands.. you convert or we will kill you. PRetty simple.
NO other religion that i"m aware of is that blunt.
For any other religion I could care less.
Pretty simple.
It does not work that way......You either support the entire constitution or none of it, you can't pick and choose!

Works pretty simple for me. The crusades were not Christian, they were greed driven by kings/queens.
The Christians quickly learned that this was not what Christ desired and so stopped.
To my knowledge Christians have not done this again, unless attacked by others.
Seems the Muslims have it in writing and have never stopped.
Pretty clear seperation there.

then how do you justify that with your support of Dems, in particular, Obama and H. Clinton have both made it clear they'd like to curtail even more of the 2nd amendment than what has been done to date?
are you saying you support the Constitution and your preferred party's attempt to change it or water it down?
if so wouldn't it be hypocritical for you to chastise others for desiring similar?

Say What??
I agree with you about the greed but the church was squarely behind the out right killing of 10's of thousands, it was a power struggle plain and simple. It worked out so well.
Spain did the same thing when they arrived in the America's. Put the priest out front and beat the pagan out of the natives.

The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages.
And my history might be a bit weak, Walt, but I'll still bet you $10,000 that the Crusades of the 11th century were just a wee bit before the Constitution was penned.

And if you think humans are presently somehow more 'perfect' than the brutes who have been killing each other over the millennia, I've got a bridge to sell you that will cover your bet.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
Posterity has never been the providence of those who won't defend themselves. And a case is easily made that the values which some/many Muslims espouse are in direct conflict with our constitution and with freedom of religion. Islam is both a political effort as well as a culture , in addition to being a religion. There is a huge conflict there, and recent court cases point that out.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
I think your right! The argument was the freedom of religion and how only Muslims kill non belivers.
The flippin argument is that muslims are the only ones that STILL do it. Get it? Walks like a duck, talks like a duck... gotta be a killer.... geez.
Nope not all muslims do this, at least right now, but this is the only current religion present here, preaching death to others. Ain't in my bible thats for sure.
I know a bit about history, but i'm no teacher either.
The crusades had the churches tied in but if you don't see the corrupted tie to the leaders of the country back then even, you are blind. The church, IMHO, was much more corrupt back then, than it is today.

The church is much more corrupt today just in diffrent ways. There is a lot more money today and lots of greedy thumpers digging in all the while hiding behind their favorite politician. How many cases have been settled because the Cathloic church is filled with child molesters. A bit corrupt don't ha think?

Islam being defined as a religion, protected by the Constitution is a travesty and a misnomer.
Islam is a system of government, a theocracy ruled by Medieval codes of conduct designed to dominate all other cultures.
The Constitution guarantees freedom of RELIGION, not a blank check to practice insurrection, subterfuge and government overthrow.
If we can't say the words, Muslim extremist/Jihadist, then we have a major problem. We need a clean definition of terms. When is a "religion" a wolf in sheep's clothes, not a true religion, deserving protection by the Constitution?
Obongo and his minions want to keep the definition of our sworn enemy in limbo, to not be forced to confront the problem. This ain't "workplace violence", it's a war of cultures and we'll win it or we'll lose it. Jihadists have declared war on us, we've not even admitted we have an enemy or if this "enemy" actually exists. This "leading from behind" farce is systematic national suicide. All those animals understand or respect is brute force, shock and awe. That's what the beheadings and bombings are all about. Shock and awe is a two way street. We can do it much better than they can. We just need the will to do what needs doing before it gets out of hand.
I think the Founders and writers of the Constitution would be appalled at where we are today as a nation. It's not what they gave us.

Walt, I hope you you can read Arabic or All-J•i•z•z-ear or whatever the hell the script is on the pic. Please tell me the credit for that is Jerry Prevo - who I really have no time or use for. He does claim to be a Christian and I have no doubt he is, but I'm thinking that does not picture his handiwork. I'm also betting it doesn't even give credit to Westboro Baptist Church - whom probably also claim Christian affiliation - not so sure I'd credit them for it however. Or perhaps it was the Bahai's? A roommate I had once was one o' them and he was certainly violent.......not.

The crusades were in response to hundreds of years of Turkish/Muslim warring to take over Europe.
Spanning more than two centuries (1096-1300 CE) across the majority of the so-called High Middle Ages, the Crusades were, in essence, military expeditions initiated by the medieval papacy to wrest the Holy Lands from Moslem control.
But in other respects, these Church-sanctioned wars brought some benefit to Medieval Europe. For instance, crusading a[/quote]llowed westerners to take advantage of the much richer[
As for the learning and not doing it any more well Mr. Trump.......
The conquest of the new world was seen as an extension of doing God’s work through the use of arms and the atrocities involved therefore had the sanction of the Church. During the colonial era, the leadership of the Church was an arm of the King of Spain (who had the right to appoint all the priests and bishops in the Americas)
The end result was...

Some estimate that the population of Mexico’s Central Valleys was around 19 million before the arrival of the Spanish: it had dropped to 2 million by 155
And this was just in Mexico..

The gas pipeline is a pipe dream at the current natural gas prices. Even with higher prices from what I here it's questionable. Is the state willing to rob the Permanent Fund to subsidize the gas pipeline? And how much money will be lost to subsidize it compared to keeping it invested as is?
Oil prices fluctuate and each field has a different break even point depending on how difficult it is to develop. I'm pretty sure an elephant like ANWR would be developed. It takes about 10 years from the point of getting a lease to oil flowing so the current price of oil is just one of many factors.

I agree with you there rost, the wife and I was having this conversation last night. Our church does the shoe box thing where we fill shoe boxes with basic hygiene items along with a few toys and they are shipped to Mexico. Nothing wrong with that, but as far as the Mrs's and I are concerned, our Christian generosity will benefit the needy children in our county; my wife works for the educational system and one does not have to look very hard to find a child in need HERE.

No issues with going out, but I do have issues going out when we have housekeeping at home.
Fix what we have here, get the democrats and liberals out office so they quit ruining the country. Demand the elected officials start acting responsible on all counts, balance budget and so on. Including closing the borders period until things get sorted out.
Heck I"ll go out on a limb and say that I"m sure some syrians are fine, and need/want out, but we have to have some serious rules...
And quit wiht making this US a free handout nation, get some responsibility back on people instead of standing around with their hands out!
