2. The mosque should put up a sign that tells the world Islam loves all people
even The Stupid.

3. Wouldn't this be actionable as libel?

5. I'd put a "Warning, vicious racist" sign on the sidewalk outside his home
In the interests of informing the public.

6. Islam is a religion, not a race
and if the sign warned children that a Catholic church was next door, DU would send the guy flowers.

7. It is to this guy
To him "Mooslim" and "Arab" are probably the same thing. I doubt he makes any distinction.

8. "Probably"... "I doubt"
In other words, you have no idea.

Free speech = free speech.

Really?

12. When did I give you grief?
I'm just pointing out that one can be anti-Muslim without necessarily being a racist.

13. Best not to do anything that cd be perceived as negative or hostile
Better to go positive--the mosque announces a "Bambi-making" children's art workshop open to the entire community, with a nice "Bambi-making" sign out front.

The contrast mocks the neighbor in a gentle, humorous way, making him appear all the more extreme and ridiculous.

14. Um, MANY mosques are off-limits to non-muslims
Just FYI.
