KIAOnline.org: Katy Islamic Association’s official website
KatyIslamicAssociation.net – hate website created by a member of the Katy community — this website is way scary. These folks are super-paranoid racists/religous bigots (a prime example is on this page)
What a sad situation. It definitely speaks volumes as to the fear that is prevalent in America today. Muslims are overall good people. There’s bad apples in every religion, but frankly I think the percentage of bad apples in Islam and Christianity are pretty comparable (in fact, I would rather have a Muslim neighbor than a Christian neighbor, because the Muslims are more likely to be nice people in my experience)
I’m also blown away by how upset folks are getting about this mosque, when Christians build massive buidings all of the time. 11 acres for a building and parking would be about average in the OKC metro for a congregation of 500 folks.
On a sidenote, I find it interesting that the cowards who run the hate website don’t sign their name to it. And if you look them up in whois you’ll find that they have concealed the identity of the domain registrant there as well. Pretty chicken if you ask me. Sounds a lot like how cowardly Klansmen used to wear white hoods to conceal their identities.

Here’s what I posted on the blog of the last commenter poster…
“I just saw the ignorant comment you posted on my blog ( http://jmbzine.com/wordpress/?p=578) and I must say that you make my point… far too many Americans are scared, paranoid and bigoted.
You need to get past your fear and see that we are all children of God, all made in the Image of God, whether you are Christian, Muslim or any other religion.
My experiences with Muslims are very positive, and I generally would rather have a muslim as a neighbor or a co-worker than a Christian, because the Muslim is more likely to be kind and honest.”
I’ve got to applaud you for starting up where I left off with the gentleman from stauntonnews.org; I give you credit not only for trying to help the man see the err of his bigoted ways, but for being a lot less sarcastic about it than me 🙂 After commenting back and forth with that fellow a few times I realized facts don’t concern him and I gave up.
