I find it odd that this Ameriphobe and his goofy “wife”, Daisy” always blame Republicans for causing the “outrage” over his Victory Trophy “Mosque”.

"...and that if given the choice to do it over again, he would have never proposed building it near ground zero."

So, move it, like outside the territorial limit of the USA. Here's your chance to do it over again.

Of course, we know that he is also fearful of islamic backlash; he's a liar, not stupid. Muslims fear other muslims.

Did he say this so he could get to say “Islamophobic backlash” on the airwaves? Attention whore still propagandizing. Sure, he’s sorry.

[”My major concern with moving it is that the headline in the Muslim world will be Islam is under attack in America. . . “]

In other words, as a token of “understanding” I say I would have never done it. However, I’ll do it and if you won’t submit to it peacefully, it will be a hell to pay. That is if you did not get it the first time around, nine years ago...
