turtlespeed 212 #1 August 25, 2010 . . . they can give it to mosques world wide. Isn't that nice? Isn't that responsible? Isn't that typical of this administration? Isn't it just disgusting? So much for separation between Church and State, huh? Why would ANY funding be given to ANY church, ANYWHERE in the US, let alone globally? WTF?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casurf1978 0 #3 August 25, 2010 QuoteIsn't that typical of this administration? Do you guys even read these articles or just blindly post the links. QuoteUnder a program established by Congress in 2001, the State Department will fund at least five projects in as many countries to the tune of $271,000. This has been going on since 2001. Not recently. You guys really need to read these articles before you post them and start pointing fingers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,120 #4 August 25, 2010 It's for historic and cultural sites. I wasn't able to find any source material, but I'll bet there are Christian churches on the list as well. Some churches are historical sites. Some mosques are historical sites. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

The fact that the whole thing could have been cut to save a bunch of money makes no difference to you, I get that. You must encourage our goverment to take our mpney and give it away to other countries because we have so much extra to do that.

Hanging the argument on mosques at this particular time changes it -- it implies that you're more OK with expending funds for all the other stuff than mosques.
