“Tonight we want to commemorate the event and we are going to honor 10 families who lost victims on 9/11. Five are Muslim, five are not Muslim, to show that we share the pain, we share the hope, we share the prayer,” said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

He hosted the event, In Good Faith: Stories of Hope and Resilience, along with the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) and the Interchurch Center.

Rauf, the founder of the Cordoba Initiative, an organization dedicated to improving understanding among people of all cultures and faiths, fell under intense scrutiny when plans to build an Islamic community center adjacent to Ground Zero were unveiled.

Rauf dispelled rumors that the project is now on hold. “It is always being moved forward,” he said....

I say let 9/11 be the Day of Bacon Enjoyment.

So what if some grease just happens to drip off in certain areas.

Both Islam and Sharia need to be outlawed as they are both treasonous and seditious. It is a outright affront to our constitution is is actively seeking to supplant and replace our constitution.

It is just like an cancer, invasive wanting to kill the host, thats you and me!

The founding fathers wanted a continuity to America, not to allow something foreign to move in and replace it while hiding behind “religious” freedoms and rights.

Five are Muslim, five are not Muslim, to show that we share the pain, we share the hope, we share the prayer,” said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

That just makes it about muslims. WHY?

That is not sharing- 5 of one and 5 from many.

I am so sick of this crap.

"we are going to honor 10 families who lost victims on 9/11. Five are Muslim,"

So which of the 10 highjackers are they honoring?

Why do we "respect" islame as a religion?

Why don't we allow the Jivaro to practice their "religion"?

They both like chopping heads, the Jivaro are just more artistically inclined after the act.


Why allow one murder cult, and not another?

Somebody told me there was a Japanese shrine of some sort there when I brought up the idea about that several months ago.

Agreed - I wonder about the feasibility of getting a permit for a sidewalk vending stand in front of the mosque and serving only pure pork products.
