Coalition To Distribute Comic Strip Booklet About 'Islamic Fascism'





POMPANO BEACH, Fla. -- A coalition of ministers led by the Rev. O'Neal Dozier plan to distribute comic strip booklets about the Islam religion, which they believe "teaches evil and hatred," in opposition to a zoning change that allows the Islamic Center of South Florida to begin construction on a new mosque in a predominantly black community.

The city council voted 3-2 in June to change the zoning of the proposed site from residential to commercial, allowing the Islamic Center to erect a larger mosque on undeveloped land on Northwest 16th Avenue.

Dozier, who is black, said he hopes the booklets he and his religious peers plan to distribute Saturday morning will "educate the public concerning the Islamic fascism."

Although the booklets are comic strips, the message they deliver is serious.

Altaf Ali, executive director of the Council of American Islamic Relations, called Dozier a "bigot" and "prejudice."

"I think his information and knowledge of Islam is very limited," Ali said.

Despite the ongoing protests, Islamic Center leaders said they hope to break ground on the new mosque within a year.

2. LOL
"Not only do these comic strips teach children the evils of Islam," says preacher, "they also have good warnings against playing that vile Dungeons and Dragons game."

4. Jeb Bush ally slams Islam (Sat, Jul. 08, 2006)
Remarks on a radio show about his views on Islam may cause conflict for a Pompano Beach minister who is well-known in Republican circles.

<snip>

"The Rev. O'Neal Dozier, a Broward clergyman who has advised President Bush and is a political appointee of Gov. Jeb Bush, took to the air waves Friday to criticize Islam as a ''cult'' religion.

The radio appearance by Dozier, who serves on the governor's committee that screens Broward judicial nominees, startled a local Muslim leader, and prompted the governor to immediately distance himself from the statements.

Reached later in the day by The Miami Herald, a contrite Dozier said he was ''concerned'' his comments could jeopardize his position on Broward's Judicial Nominating Commission. But he did not disavow those comments."

<snip>

"Dozier, who has been a key player in efforts by the governor and the Republican Party to cultivate support in Broward's black community, said he was bothered by the strong reaction to his words."

10. Interesting For A Black Preacher
To take a position against the only major religon which takes a position against racism in their scripture itself. I guess ignorance & intolerance are as much a prerequisite for black Republicans as white.
