This guy puts the fruit in fruitcake. Michael Bloomberg shamed those who oppose the Ground Zero Victory Mosque and told a Ramadan audience this week, We are all Muslims.
CNN reported:
We are now in the Islamic holy month of fasting called Ramadan, and Bloomberg hosted last night an annual iftar, or fast-breaking dinner, at Gracie Mansion.
In his his remarks, Bloomberg, who has previously supported the Park51 project in the name of both property rights and religious freedom, once again spoke truth to fear and hatred. He admitted that there are people of good will on both sides of the debate. He acknowledged that the World Trade Center site is hallowed ground. And he observed that there are people of every faithincluding, perhaps, some in this roomwho are hoping that a compromise will end the debate.
But it wont, he said.
The community center can and must be built at the Park51 site, he said. Anything less would compromise our commitment to fighting terror with freedom.
During his remarks, Bloomberg welcomed Talat Hamdani, whose son, Salman Hamdani, a paramedic and Ne York City Police Department cadet, died on 9/11. He also welcomed Sakibeh and Asaad Mustafa, whose children, he said, have served our country overseas.
Bloomberg brought home the point that the propaganda war now being waged on Islam in America threatens to undercut our counterinsurgency battle for hearts and minds in Iraq and Afghanistan. If we do not practice here at home what we preach abroadif we do not lead by examplewe undermine our soldiers, he said. We undermine our foreign policy objectives. And we undermine our national security.
Bloomberg ended his talk by quoting some words from the embattled Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf:
At an interfaith memorial service for the martyred journalist Daniel Pearl, Imam Rauf said, If to be a Jew means to say with all one's heart, mind, and soul: Shma` Yisrael, Adonai Elohenu Adonai Ehad; Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One, not only today I am a Jew, I have always been one. If to be a Christian is to love the Lord our God with all of my heart, mind and soul, and to love for my fellow human being what I love for myself, then not only am I a Christian, but I have always been one.'In that spirit, Bloomberg concluded, in words that echoed John F. Kennedys Ich bin ein Berliner speech, let me declare that we in New York are Jews and Christians and Muslims, and we always have been.
Allahu Akbar.
Trying to be inclusive with Muslims endangers America more then not being inclusive. I am not sure where he gets his rose colored glasses or who is paying for them.
There is ONLY 1 reason, and 1 reason only that America has to remember 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11. MUSLIMS
There is ONLY 1 reason, and 1 reason only that thousands of our finest Americans have died fighting over the last 20 years. MUSLIMS.
They need to be stopped now. They are in the midst of destroying Europe. They are planning OUR execution now! No more mosques! No more MUSLIMS. They are sadistic killers. Ass-wipes like Bloomberg are their willing stooges.
We are a Muslim nation according to Oblahblah so we must now all be muslims. Yeh, thats the ticket.
Huh? How in the hell do you "fight" terror with freedom? Apparently to Bloomberg it's freedom to capitulate and bow down and lick the boots of your enemies.
I prefer we just leave the opportunity for freedom in our wake as we eradicate the bastards.
Wonder if the Muslims in the room were as offended at the declaration of their new brothers as we are at even being remotely connected to that all peaceful, all loving, all agreeable Islam. Curious minds want to know.
I don't care what the idiots believe or do, until they try to ram it down my throat!
All I can say is Farouk-You Bloomberg!
What a waste of oxygen.
Is this bloomin' idiot bucking for a Peace Prize a la Peres by accomodating the fifth column in our midst?

Mosque OK, but the Greek church that was destroyed on 9/11 has yet to receive a permit to rebuild.
Did this jackass fall and hit his head or something? He better get his brain checked out...
