Fitzgerald: Attending Open House at the mosque
A Muslim poster at Jihad Watch recently gave us all this invitation: "Open your eyes and ask God to open your heart to the truth. Don't speak when you have no knowledge of what goes on in Muslim communities in America..."

"No knowledge of what goes on in Muslim communities"?
Infidels can attend those absurd Open Houses, or Outreach Nights at the Mosque, or those Muslim-Christian and Muslim-Jewish "Dialogues." (Why are there no Muslim-Hindu Dialogues, some may wonder, but they needn't -- too many Hindus have had too much immediate experience with Muslims, know too much about Islam).
Many of these Outreach Nights center around Ramadan. Ramadan is, of course, the least offensive of Muslim observances, and the one that can most easily be likened to the dietary regimes of others -- the observance of Lent among older (and some younger) Catholics, the avoidance of pork among orthodox Jews. It is heavily emphasized, therefore, by Muslim propagandists, apologists at mosque open houses and "interfaith dialogues" -- while the real things we worry about are ignored or minimized: the things that lead to mass murders in Beslan or Madrid or New York or Washington or Luxor, and assassinations in Amsterdam, and how those murders are prompted by canonical texts of Islam, by certain teachings that are not those of a "handful of extremists" nor of "Wahhabis" or of those who are "poverty stricken." Whoever is behind this has to be queried, and stopped, by people better informed -- who understand exactly what use Ramadan is put to in order to present, at first, a smiling and plausible image to beguile unwary Infidels. There is no reason to collaborate in propaganda which may seem, to some, so inoffensive but is not. Not at all....
