Earlier today, Mayor Bloomberg responded to my comments about the planned mosque at Ground Zero by suggesting that a decision not to allow the building of a mosque at that sacred place would somehow violate American principles of tolerance and openness.
No one is disputing that America stands for – and should stand for – religious tolerance. It is a foundation of our republic. This is not an issue of religious tolerance but of common moral sense. To build a mosque at Ground Zero is a stab in the heart of the families of the innocent victims of those horrific attacks. Just days after 9/11, the spiritual leader of the organization that wants to build the mosque, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, suggested that blame be placed on the innocents when he stated that the “United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened” and that “in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.”

Mayor Bloomberg lacks the key ingredient all aristocrats or plutocrats lack: common sense.
Mayor Bloomberg should be impeached for being an arrogant, self-agrandizing idiot who dares stamp upon everything that his constituents honor. Mayor Bloomberg has no business being in charge of anything bigger than a lemonade stand. IMHO
It really has gotten to the point that all we are to today’s politicians are voting blocks.
This latest madness only underscores how bad it truly is.
What Bloomberg might call tolerance, I call cultural suicide.
No thanks, Mayor. I choose not to follow you to hell.
Ask Bloomberg where the Christian Churches are in Mecca and Medina.
Lets put it this way; why do they want to build a mosque there?
Precisely, they want openness and fairness? Show us the same in Mecca, medina etc etc. Show us the freedom and democracy at work there!
This only represents a another stepping stone in their march to intended domination.
Liberal Jews in America.
I just cannot describe them. There are no words to convey how they think or what they are doing to Judaism and America and to freedom.
I will say this aloud, Many of these people who claim the cloak of Judaism are not worthy of the title they give to themselves.
F Bloomberg. He should be spat upon whenever he is spotted in public.
There, I said it.
Excellent question. This is what the media should be asking.........What is wrong with this picture?

Bloomberg and his ilk are much more likely to be anti-Christian than anti-Islam.
Even with the very knife edge at their throats.
MoBlo needs to ask himself wy their isn’t a Japanese Cultural Center where the USS Arizona was sunk.
we must build a large church in mecca to promote religious tolerance! Of course, it would be regarded on the left as provoking a fight when theres no need, its just common decency
Pockets are being filled... just follow the money.

Rauf also plays a key role in a group behind the flotilla designed to provoke Israel in its justifiable blockade of Gaza. These are just a few of the points Americans are realizing as New York considers the proposed mosque just a stone’s throw away from 9/11’s sacred ground.
I agree with the sister of one of the 9/11 victims (and a New York resident) who said: “This is a place which is 600 feet from where almost 3,000 people were torn to pieces by Islamic extremists. I think that it is incredibly insensitive and audacious really for them to build a mosque, not only on that site, but to do it specifically so that they could be in proximity to where that atrocity happened.”
Many Americans, myself included, feel it would be an intolerable and tragic mistake to allow such a project sponsored by such an individual to go forward on such hallowed ground. This is nothing close to “religious intolerance,” it’s just common decency.
- Sarah Palin
Palin is right, of course. Common decency is the key term.
Here in Holland there has been quite some outrage during the past weeks. The planned mosque, and its luxurious design, became a real topic for debate; I am glad to report that the overall balance overwhelmingly tipped to: ‘against’. Yours truly tried to bring the matter to attention on various sites.
Palin is usually correct. Other politicians fear the fact that she uses common sense instead of subterfuge,
Yup. A good politician needs common sense in the first place. Because he must serve (the operative word) all people, not only the half-baked smart-*ass class.
