SNL skit: Gay weddings and abortions at the Ground Zero mosque
A September 25 Quinnipiac poll found 57% of New Yorkers oppose building a mosque on the site where wreckage from the airliner piloted by Mohammed Atta crashed through the roof on 9/11, 2 blocks from the World Trade Center. Only 32% think the Muslim plan is ok.
The opinion of Americans nationwide is even more pronounced. Time magazine found they polled 61% against, 26% for.
In NY the political divide on this issue is great. While 90% of Republicans oppose the mosque, only 34% of Democrats support it, according to Quinnipiac.
And of course the Saturday Night Live team would reside in the Democrat camp. Hence their skit this past weekend attempting to pigeonhole those opposed to building a mosque so close to Ground Zero as social conservatives.
This mock ad ostensibly by the Republican National Committee “hilarious[ly]… advertises doing everything conservatives fear in the place they fear most,” according to HuffPo…
Whatever. An honest ad would have shown homosexuals being imprisoned or stoned, as these are punishments meted in Muslim societies for those committing the practice.
Likewise, Muslims find abortion for reasons other than necessary “detestable” and a “sin,” according to scholars’ writings as quoted by Wikipedia.
The SNL skit spotlights one of the idiocies of liberalism. Egalitarian treatment of women, abortion, gays, and Left-biased journalism would be the first to go were Muslims to rule America.
Yet those supporting all the aforementioned inexplicably support Islam – solely because it is antithetical to Judeo-Christianity, with its foundation in the legitimate Isaac vs. illegitimate Ishmael divide. Liberals will go so far as to support those who would kill, imprison, or forcibly shut them up out of their hatred for He for whom we stand.
And what’s up with using “pregnancy termination” rather than “abortion”? Has now even that word become politically incorrect due to its negative connotations?

Well it’s quite easy to see that left liberals are in bed (*gasp*) with Muslims mainly because they hate Christians.
It will be interesting to see what happens to all the liberals when Islam rules Europe in about 30 years.
Christianity will be lookin’ pretty darn good by then……
Both sides of this debate have been guilty of hyperbole. I’m okay with the plans for Park51, but I understand that opposition to it has had bipartisan support.

Thats exactly right Jill. Although it wasn’t until after 9/11 did liberal love-fest for Islam really start. Now that the mosque is being built they’re suddennly concerned with freedom of religion.

Jill, make that radical Muslims. Not all Muslims support extremism. However, you’re right pointing out that liberals support Islam because they hate Christians. After all, we’re the ones committing honor killings, hanging children as spies, preventing women from going to school, executing homosexuals, etc. :-( Whatever.
As for SNL, I’m surprised it’s even on. Who watches it? It hasn’t been funny in years.
Angel – You are seriously paranoid… WOW
You know there was a mosaic right next to the world trade center that was there before the WTC was even built? You also know there was a mosaic inside of the WTC and a separate praying area for muslin daily prayers in a different tower right? You know that many Muslims gave their lives on September 11th besides the hijackers… Policemen, Firemen, EMT’s, and all other levels of First Responders? Islam is just as crazy as any other religion and they all have their extremists who see violence as being ok with their god… your god…
Judge not…..
Yes I agree, I watched this whole episode as its the season opener in hopes that this year’s new cast would be funny… Nope! Even the Christine O’Donnell skit was just stupid and I laugh every time I see that woman on the news… how could they screw that up? No, SNL has not been funny in a long time. They need to stop hiring people who can do impressions and maybe spend some money on actual writers.
Freaking spell check is a worthless program…… Its should say Mosque not Mosaic… My bad
ahahahahah….BWAHAHAH….oh boy. Can you blame them? The GOP has gone nuts over this. They wrote the script FOR SNL.
And SNL has made viscous pokes at The President and Democrats…and..anyone who does anything stupid, really. Most of their opening skits from last season made mockery of Obama’s incompetence.
Phillymiss, I thought the same thing! Last time I watched the entire hour of SNL was 1998 and even then it was going downhill. They suck and they’re mad about it so they have to claw at someone.
Time to bring MAD TV back! They had some pretty crude stuff on that show, but sometimes crude is funny.
Southpark is funny at times, but once again, it’s a bit raunchy for my taste.
