Update/retraction (13:11): Missed the update on LGF. It is in fact an image of a mosque in Brunei. My apologies to CAIR and to NewsBusters readers.
"Little Green Footballs" noticed yesterday that the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is cheering the impending crimes prosecution of a Pace University student for putting a Koran in a toilet, depicted the US Capitol dome as though it were the dome of a mosque. Gone was the Statue of Freedom that graces a pedestal atop the cast-iron dome (see picture at right)
Now imagine if the Catholic League photoshopped the cross-topped dome of St. Peter's Basilica or if the Christian Coalition replaced Freedom with country church bell tower in an image endorsing its "American-Christian Voter Survey." Something tells me the media would not find some cynical way to round up liberal critics who would allege those conservative Christian groups want to turn the federal government into a theocracy.

The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart.

August 1, 2007 - 11:27 ET by drillanwrWell now, if that picture ain't some form of Freudian evidence of telegraphing the intended goal of Islam I don't know what is.
No question that CAIR is a Saudi front, but...
August 1, 2007 - 12:06 ET by CTThe Brunei Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is not the U.S. Capitol building, which was not 'Photo shopped' to appear to be so. No credit to the cretins at CAIR, but it could be said that it depicts the people of Brunei under U.S. care <snarc>!
CT is correct. See update.
August 1, 2007 - 12:52 ET by Ken ShepherdCT is correct. See update. Again, my apologies.
Although it is curious why a foreign mosque was used as opposed to a picture of a mosque somewhere in the United States.
Wow. You don't have to

You don't have to work hard to publicly discredit CAIR, as they seem to be doing so well on their own.

Photo shopped or not...still
August 1, 2007 - 12:28 ET by vrwc13Photo-shopped or not, the message is clear. I agree with a posted comment on LGF:
