New in PJ Media:
Dearborn Heights, Michigan has gotten just what it needs: a massive, sixteen-million-dollar new mosque. A celebration in proportion to the importance of this milestone has duly been held, stretching over two days and featuring such luminaries as Dearborn Heights Mayor Mo Baydoun; Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud; U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah); far-left Muslim Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed; the Iraqi Consul General in Detroit, Mohammed Hassan Saeed Mohammed; Imam Fadhel Al-Sahlani, who was representing Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani in North America; and Imam Mohammad Mardini, founder of the American Muslim Center in Michigan. Joining them in the festivities was Edward J. Weisenburger, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Detroit.
Arab American News reported Friday that Weisenburger, in hailing the opening of the new Imam Al-Hasanain Mosque, was positively bubbling over with fraternal feeling. “There is no place where I feel more respect, fraternity and kindness,” Weisenburger said. “From the moment I entered this beautiful site, I felt a profound divine presence.” Weisenburger also “described the mosque as a sacred place that would help strengthen relationships among people of different faiths and deepen their connection to God.”
Yes. Mosques are famous for strengthening relationships among people of different faiths.
Edward J. Weisenburger, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Detroit, means well. In fact, he almost certainly feels a certain moral superiority, and even a temptation to smugness, when comparing himself to those grubby, greasy little people who, in his view, preach “hate” and “division.” Edward J. Weisenburger, Archbishop of Detroit, is above all that. He is just what this age calls for. He is an apostle of love, a missionary of mutual understanding, a dealer in dialogue. While lesser men waste their time sounding warnings about a civilizational threat and the looming prospect of subjugation and dhimmitude, Edward J. Weisenburger, Archbishop of Detroit, knows better, and does all he can to ensure that those warnings go unheeded.
For Edward J. Weisenburger — please, call him Ed — knows that the idea of a subversion of Western civilization from within is absurd. He knows that any idea that any group, aside from the far right, would want to destroy the existing society and establish its own authoritarian hegemony over what remains, is simply “racist,” “bigoted,” and “Islamophobic.” He knows that Sayed Hassan Qazwini and the people of the Imam Al-Hasanain Mosque are the salt of the earth, unjustly placed under suspicion and long-suffering, due to the malign influence of those racist “Islamophobes.” He knows that the Imam Al-Hasanain Mosque preaches peace, love, and tolerance.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Give Islam a greater footprint in America, the Democrats are ensuring the Islamic takeover of America.

Another useful idiot ,as Moslems push jihad ,back terrorist murders here and aboard he walks into Satan den and pushes the narrative that all faiths are equal? That is not the mission of the Catholic church ,the church should be a voice defending persecuted Christians here and aboard .Not kissing the asses of the persecutors or blaspheming the Church and lowering it that “all religious beliefs” are equal and good .A religion who mission statement is to force conversion ,or enslave ,or kill all non-Moslems ,including all Christians ,Jews ,and others is not in anyway equal or should be treated in a friendly manor by representatives of the church. This weak horse attitude will only encourage the bully religion of Islam .Better to not try to appease the bullies ,if these jihadist want to meet ,meet in a neutral space and question their motives and reasons for murder ,enslavement ,or forced conversion .If you do not or can not as a high representee of the church do that, do not meet with them at all ,but at least verbally condemn the acts of open terror of jihad on all children of God ,Christians and non-Christians in public .

Weisneburger is akin to Jannes and Jambres, a corrupt reprobate concerning the faith.

As a Roman Catholic conservative, I find Weisenberger, a Traitor to his Faith and ignorant of Islam and what they’ve been doing since Mo got on the scene since the 5th Century. This man should step down as Bishop. The first thing the muslimes would do when they get the chance, is Behead this ignorant Bishop.

It is so sad that I am reading how the Catholic Church has become a traitor, they are now a corrupt church. They have told many lies,they helped the nazis , but not the people in need. They bring in all the nazi friends, the muslims. who want free FREE stuff all the time.

Aside from the strange aspect of that Roman Catholic Archbishop being so naive as to be beguiled by the imam and the other Muslims in charge of that mosque .. Nevertheless in spite of bad judgement , it was his prerogative to enter into that mosque. Still, speaking only for myself during the last century I did in three nations overseas enter a number of different mosques. To observe and learn first hand. Then during the late 1990’s , for balance , I decided to go to visit a new large mosque in upper Manhattan and then to the Islamic center mosque in Washington DC Planning to to trips to those mosques for the early twenty -first century. but then came those mass murderous and destructive jihad terror attacks /affronts that occurred on September 11’t 2001 . Therefore I canceled plans to those to trip vowing never to enter another mosque again.
As alreadly stated above that Roman Catholic Archbishop entering into that mosque was his prerogative. By the same token never to enter another mosque again is ,likewise , my prerogative
