FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America
Statement of Debra Burlingame, Co-founder of 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America, in Response to President Obama's Remarks about the Ground Zero Mosque
911 Families Stunned Presidents Support of Mosque at Ground Zero
New York, NY, Aug. 14 -- Barack Obama has abandoned America at the place where America's heart was broken nine years ago, and where her true values were on display for all to see. Since that dark day, Americans have been asked to bear the burden of defending those values, again and again and again. Now this president declares that the victims of 9/11 and their families must bear another burden. We must stand silent at the last place in America where 9/11 is still remembered with reverence or risk being called religious bigots.
Muslims have worshipped in New York without incident both before and after the attacks of 9/11. This controversy is not about religious freedom. 9/11 was more than a "deeply traumatic event," it was an act of war. Building a 15-story mosque at Ground Zero is a deliberately provocative act that will precipitate more bloodshed in the name of Allah. Those who continue to target and kill American civilians and U.S. troops will see it as a symbol of their historic progress at the site of their most bloody victory. Demolishing a building that was damaged by wreckage from one of the hijacked planes in order to build a mosque and Islamic Center will further energize those who regard it as a ratification of their violent and divinely ordered mission: the spread of shariah law and its subjugation of all free people, including secular Muslims who come to this country fleeing that medieval ideology, which destroys lives and crushes the human spirit.
We are stunned by the president's willingness to disregard what Americans should be proud of: our enduring generosity to others on 9/11--a day when human decency triumphed over human depravity. On that day, when 3,000 of our fellow human beings were killed in barbaric act of raw religious intolerance unlike this country had ever seen, Americans did not turn outward with hatred or violence, we turned to each other, armed with nothing more than American flags and countless acts of kindness. In a breathtakingly inappropriate setting, the president has chosen to declare our memories of 9/11 obsolete and the sanctity of Ground Zero finished. No one who has lived this history and felt the sting of our country's loss that day can truly believe that putting our families through more wrenching heartache can be an act of peace.
We will honor the memory of our loved ones. We will protect our children, whose lives will never be the same. We will not stand silent.

“will Obama succeed in destroying America in four?”
I regret to say that if America doesn’t stand up in time he will.
Watch the stock market. Remember 2008..right before the election.
There is a techinical indicator called the Hindenburg Omen.
http://www.americablog.com/2008/07/hindenburg-omen-predicts-market-crash.html
It was seen in 2008 three times in June predicting a crash by October. It is seen now. Watch for a Second Confirmation of it.
Why is it surprising that a muslim would support the building of a mosque? These people probably voted for Obummer.
Excellent comments...amazing ( snicker) that no one in the MSM has commented that they hav yet to find a church in DC to attend..it’s really hard to do
I really believe Hussein has crossed a line with the endorsement of the mosque.
On many levels, he has proven to be tone deaf to America. Mosque-endorsement may be the Rubicon. or Waterloo, if you will.
Fellow Demon-rats will now have to go along with Hussein or go with the American people AGAIN.
He is showing the people, with every move, how much he hates America...and nearly everyone sees it—and most disagree with his hatred.
Oh, let’s take a stab at it:
“Take that, greedy white capitalist pigs!”
I think you are right. He is very consistent.
Wow.
This announcement of Obama’s support for the victory mosque at Ground Zero needs to be set alongside the footage of the Egyptian ambassador saying that Obama told him he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda.
Painfully obvious what’s going on here.
How would this benefit him? I mean what...martial law?
The way he’s been behaving, aren’t we virtually there alreay?
Lately I’ve met more than a few black people that can’t stand the guy.
One has to be very careful though when bringing the subject up with them.
“I have no respect for anyone who is “stunned” by ANYTHING Obama does”.
Same here. Stupid, “useful idiots”.
“Why is it surprising that a muslim would support the building of a mosque? These people probably voted for Obummer.”
Yea, The only people that are “Shocked” by this are the idiots that voted for HUSSEIN.
“No one who has lived this history and felt the sting of our country’s loss that day can truly believe that putting our families through more wrenching heartache can be an act of peace.”
He is either with us, or he’s with the terrorists. You decide.
Oh, and btw,
Here is a guy who refuses to understand questioning the financing of this GZMosque, but questions the financing of Americans for Prosperity?!!!
I, personally, would be completely stunned if he knew all the words to Star Spangled Banner.
We know he doesn’t know The Pledge of Allegiance.
Evil bastard.
By the way, I’ve heard from several sources that this proposed bldg is not a mosque per se, but an islamic center, and will have a cafe and a pool and similar amenities. A place for prayer is just one part of it.
So, of course the Liar-in-Chief 0bama characterizing it as a place of worship, and trying to frame this as a religious issue. Freedom of expression has a swimming pool under its penumbra.
Why does this surprise them?
I could have told you this weeks/months/years ago.
Wonder how many of the 911 victims families voted Obama. I’d bet quite a few.

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Barack Hussein Obama - "Audacity of Hope" (2006) |
Those winds shifted in an ugly direction on 9/11, when 3,000 were murdered by Muslims to the cries of "Allah Akbar."
Those winds have again shifted in an ugly direction, as Muslims fight to erect a mosque over the ashes of those 3,000 and the objections of the vast majority of Americans who hold that ground to be sacred - again to cries of "Allah Akbar."
As Obama promised, he now "stands with the Muslims" on the construction of the Ground Zero mosque. Shouldn't Americans wonder were he stood on 9/11? What action would Obama & Holder (as opposed to Bush & Ashcroft) have taken?
And add some footage of 9/11 — particularly those people jumping out of the WTC to escape the flames. I know some people would think it would be grizly, but some footage of charred body parts might also get the point across.
