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...

More than confused...

Islam is nothing more than a military and quasi-governmental movement, using public policy combined with populace control disguised as a religion.

I say this is great news! They—LIBERALS—have become so brazen that these acts only serve to solidify the conservative vote in upcoming elections. I suspect you will see big changes in November.

Doesn't he mean "seed of subjugation" at least for us Kafir??

Exactly. This will be viewed as a sign of subjugation by muslims all over the world. They will dance in the streets and hand out sweets to their children.

The Muslims have a long history of plopping down mosques on top of where their conquered enemies churches and temples were. Think of the Dome of the Rock on top of the remains of the Temple in Jerusalem, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and probably thousands of other places from Spain to India. They see this as marking their conquest over our culture.

“Seed of Peace” = “Crescent of The Embrace.”

Wait until you see the mosque they have planned inside the new WTC when it is rebuilt.

This is the equivalent of the Japanese community erecting a Buddhist/Shinto temple at Pearl Harbor after the Dec. 7th. 1941 attack....

I’m sure there is an informal prayer room some where in there already.

This is an insult to the 3,000 people murdered on 9/11 and it’s intended as such. The board knows thsi, too, which makes them complicit in the advancement o the terrorist cause.

Jeez....this is an example, on steroids, of classic accommodation of the abuser in a domestic entanglement.

“If I'm nice to it/him/her, he/she/it will stop trying to kill me.”

The cycle needs to be broken. The US should get a restraining order on Islam.

NYC is governed by dysfunctional liberal idiots. I’m going to have a lot less sympathy for them the next time they get popped, they are asking for it!

Coward. Please step aside before you get more innocent non-muslims killed.

More of a seed of a hybrid of kudzu and poison ivy.

Great analogy.

You know you are “right”, only when there are absolutes and limits to one’s flagrancy...

The libs in turn, know no limits to their degenerative idealogies that will systematically work only to destroy what is profitable. As “faithful as a compass is to true north” is how liberal leftists are to destroying free society.

What is really disturbing is that they think they are doing us favor while their at it, not recognizing they are narcissistcly and desperately trying to prop themselves up with fanatical self preservation while unknowingly working to dismantle that which could ensure it. Pure INSANITY.
