From this day on I'll have no sympathy for whatever happens to that city.

[Mr. Mojo]

"Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion?",

Pretty funny coming from a guy who attempts to use government to dictate nearly every aspect of our personal lives.

Does he defend churches and synagogues with the same vigor?

[jersey117]

Excellent point!

[goodnesswins]

OKAY...someone from New York....how many mosques are there already in NYC?

[capydick]

Fool

[goodnesswins]

Could go on forever with that line of questioning...i.e....”should gov’t deny citizens the right to gun ownership?” “should gov’t deny citizens the right to the First Amendment rights?” etc...etc...etc....he’s such a PUTZ. Who has bought him off?

[cowboyusa]

Agreed, they have chosen thier boat, let them sink in it. It’s a commie hell hole anyway.

[NormsRevenge]

Open your window, Bloomy..

Do you still hear the cries of 9/11 victims falling to their deaths? Others still do.. this is hallowed ground.

A mosque does little except desecrate the entire area and acts as salt in the wounds sustained by the city and nation that day.

Go hide behind the Constitution, it won’t be the first time this nation’s enemies and detractors have done it..

Enjoy the kool-aid.

Saudi Arabia?

[samadams2000]

I meant hizzhonor the slimeball mayor of couse, 2nd Div!

[Kakaze]

Bloomberg does not need money, favor or anything else........he can buy his way, yet he sells his soul?

[Jack Hydrazine]

He’ll be a shoo-in during the next election!

[Mrs. Don-o]

I'm for the city; against its present power structure.

In Islam, mosques are territorial markers; and every architectural feature is symbolic.

Has everyone forgotten that terror mastermind Muhammad Atta studied architecture at Cairo University, and went to Hamburg, Germany to continue his studies, taking increasing umbrage at the fact that skyscrapers were becoming the most visible feature of the cityscape, when, in his view, the mosque alone should dominate the skyline?

Bloomberg doesn't grasp the obvious. Bloomberg and his allies are idiots--- and worse than idiots, enablers.

[Man50D]

Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion?

This question is based on the false premise that islam is merely a religion. It is far more than a religion. It is a violent political with its own set of laws and court system. Religion is only one component of islam and is used to impose islam on non muslim societies. Islam is anathema to the U.S. Constitution. The two cannot coexist in the U.S.

Bloombergidiot.....enough said.... =.=

Bloomberg really is a self-deluded fool.
