How so? Provide some examples, please.

“”"The man says that Paul Findley is a sympathizer.”"”

Paul Findley is not even a Moslem. Criticizing him is not racist.

“”"If any of you have ever read the book “Silent No More,” which I have, (I also suggest some of you read it, it is actually very intersting) you would know that this book in no way, shape, or form sympathizes terrorists.”"”

When Findley was in Congress 30 years ago he was very supportive of Yasser Arafat. Findley told the Wall Street Journal that he wished that Yasser Arafat could go on the Tonight Show so people could see how likable Arafat is.

You may not agree that Arafat was a terrorist, but thinking that Arafat was and that Findley sympathized with Arafat is not racist. It is a reasonable conclusion supported by the evidence.

“”"Alot of the poeple who post on this site about Sharia Law and how Muslims must follow that over the law of the land know nothing or very very little about the Muslim faith.”"”

Asim Ghafoor has said that if you do not rule according to Islam then you are a kaffir. Some Moslems believe in imposing aspects of sharia law, and others resolutely oppose it. Unfortunately Gill’s employers/clients/partners Abdurahman Alamoudi and Asim Ghafoor are advocates of state-sponsored sharia law.

“”"Muslims being violent people”"”

Some are, as are some non-Moslems as well.

“”"who must abide by Sharia Law.”"”

Some impose Islamic law and some do not. Had a drink in Saudi Arabia lately? Why not?

“”"I also am not suggesting that there are not any Muslims who beleive that they must only follow Sharia Law,”"”

We are in agreement. The problem is that Asim Ghafoor is one of those people, as is Abdurahman Alamoudi. No one has explained why Gill was working as a lobbyist for, on behalf of and with Ghafoor and Alamoudi.

“”"these are the extremists and radicals,”"”

Agreed. Gill’s former employers/clients/partners Asim Ghafoor and Abdurahman Alamoudi are extremists and radicals.

“”"there are people like this in many faiths.”"

Agreed.

“”"This post that I am making has no intention of trashing any posters on this site, I simply want people to learn a little more about the faith.”"”

I am all in favor of people learning about the positive aspects of Islam, and also learning about negative elements such as the American Muslim Council, Abdurahman Alamoudi, al-Haramain and Asim Ghafoor.

Why was Gill working for Abdurahman Alamoudi and Asim Ghafoor as the chief lobbyist for the imprisoned Alamoudi’s American Muslim Council?

Gill may have worked for the Navy, Office of Homeland Security etc, but is now using that knowledge along with his law partners to help those who are declared terrorist supporters in the US.

I wouldn’t want to take that type of money from those types of characters, but Gill’s law firm is.

Also, there is a book called “Infiltration” talking about terrorists and their sympathizers who have “infiltrated” our government- there is a whole chapter dedicated to Faisal Gill. Check that out at www.sperryfiles.com

Faisal’s connections are not “guilt by association” AT ALL!

Itn’t this what lobbying firms do? Is there more to this?”"”

It is indeed what a lobbyist is supposed to do. However, it is not what fiscal conservatives are supposed to do, or so Julie would argue.

A lobbyist who preaches fiscal responsibility is like a whorehouse madam preaching virginity.

I will cede the second point.

As to your third point, I said I have no dog in the fight and would have faced quite a conundrum in having to chose between the two. A pursuasive arguement could be made that they have similar issues with credibility and responsibility. You guys have beat on Faisal ad nauseum, but I haven’t taken note of anyone questioning the role of Lucas in the Board votes demanding more money from the BOCS or initiating litigation in the circuit court. Neither action gives me a good feeling about her intention to “reduce taxes”.

Itn’t this what lobbying firms do? Is there more to this?

Three things.

1) the accredidation rate stat refers to her district, not the entire county. your point might stand to some extent, but she played a large role in that increase.

2)Julie was the only republican to vote AGAINST the new admin building.

3) If you stand by your last point, you better question Faisal’s credibility on those grounds too, as he asserts (correctly) the same four points.

At the risk of further annoying the echo-chamber, notwithstanding that statement which may be attributed to poor grammar (guess the School Board needs to go back and get “re-edumacated”), her vow to eliminate wasteful spending would seem to run counter to some of her recent Board votes, ie: the new admin. building, and would seem to be mutually exclusive of some of her other vows. I still haven’t seen anyone successfully pull off (and I mean concurrently) eliminating wasteful spending, getting money back from Richmond, sending more dollars to the classroom and reducing taxes. I could almost buy into the first three concurrently but the fourth is a killer to the premise and her credibility.

Asim Ghafoor is not an inanimate object but is very much alive. Thus he is a “who” not an “it.”
