NEW YORK - After hours of contentious public comment, a New York City community board voted late Tuesday to support a plan to build a mosque and cultural center near ground zero.
"It's a seed of peace," board member Rob Townley said. "We believe that this is a significant step in the Muslim community to counteract the hate and fanaticism in the minority of the community."
The vote was 29-to-1 in favor of the plan...

Another sad day for families of the 911 victims and fallen veteran families as the manchurian president and local governments continue their assault on America.
these people are delusional.
Ping.
‘Seed of peace’ my ass.
Don’t these people on the community board realize that even Mosques get blown up by other terrorists?
Huh? That can be taken two ways:
1) he's admitting the muslim community is full of hate and fanaticism.
2) Or he's confused about who flew planes into who's buildings.
Just got back from Iceland and this was the first news story I heard. It is just terrible that something like this so called “ seed of peace” is ok to build there. If these people wanted to place something of an honor or memorial there there are hundreds of other sculpture like things that might have been meaningful. ‘this is salt in the wounds.
Doesn't he mean "seed of subjugation" at least for us Kafir??
I only believe it cuz I’m seeing it...
Tree of Dhiminitude.
I like to choose my words very carefully and like to think that I never say anything I don’t mean, unless being sarcastic. Yes, even when angry.
So let me be clear here. I have read the koran and read of the history of islam. So I say this from a position of knowledge:
I HATE islam.
The Lord teaches us to hate evil.
There are plenty in this country that know at least as much as I do, and many of them are in or near NYC. If there is even a start to construction, this will not go well.
“seed of peace”
Rob Townley just another coward and useful idiot!
New York is propelling us into an alternate universe!!!
It does my heart good to recognize that the Jihadis on Flight 93 were largely neutralized by Americans. May they copulate with pigs.
seriously... i don’t know this country
something this obvious, and the lefties can’t get it right. amazing
“never forget” ... “until the muslims demand to build a mosque on your bones”
next, they will want a mosque in the pentagon courtyard
They are wrong of course ~ we do not think of it as a peace offering. If they were smart they'd back off this idea.
Lessee, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is atop a (2nd?) Jewish Temple.
They did the same at the Christian church, Hagia Sofia in Constantinople.
I am not informed enough to recall any others at this moment. There is no question that a mosque at/near the Twin Towers site is a big middle finger salute to all Americans.
