Bloomberg defends mosque in emotional speech

Yahoo! News ^ | August 3, 2010 | Liz Goodwin

Exactly. I mean, "Córdoba Project". Referring to Córdoba, the capital of the Caliphate during the Muslim rule in Spain, where Muslim conquerors defeated Spanish Christians in the 700's AD. Naming the Ground Zero Mosque after the seat of power of the Islamic occupation of Spain...

How about a huge neon sign saying "The Caliphate pnwns you, NYC"?

Why do people ignore the freakin' obvious?

[ichabod1]

No. There was a Greek Orthodox church near ground zero that got flattened and they’re still stonewalling on letting them rebuild. So, he should STFU. I can’t believe that man is still ruling New York City after all these years. Gag.

"Whatever you may think of the proposed mosque and community center, lost in the heat of the debate has been a basic question: Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion? That may happen in other countries, but we should never allow it to happen here," he said. (You can watch the video here.)

Oh what a pant load. Bloomberg is such a drama queen. Does he HONESTLY believe that every religion that has ever wanted to build a "house of worship" on private property got their application approved? Bloomberg needs to quit lying and man-up to the fact he's bending over for the Islamofascists.

[ichabod1]

Yeah, I’m really hoping that if this damned thing gets approved, something really, really bad happens to it. This is more than salt in the wound. This is like sawing off the survivors heads with a dull knife.

[NormsRevenge]

This is truly showing the wart-side of living in a supposed free society where scoundrels and elite can buy and steal elections and then carry out their own agendas under the guise of this is what the people want.. I’m sorry, I just don’t buy it.

Bloomburg and his henchmen are clearly mentally unstable and should be quickly removed to a facility where they are unable to harm anyone else.

I'd cut off Bloomburg's thumbs to keep him from fiddling with the locks too.

>>Great point. I think a lot of people are just confused because this is being touted by a lot of the press as a “freedom of religion” issue when its not. No one is saying that Muslims don’t have the right to build a mosque to worship in within NYC. What some are saying is that given the feelings and sensitivities of the survivors and the loved ones of the fallen Ground Zero is not the place to be constructing a monument to Islam considering what some of their supposed most fervent believers did on that site. This is nothing more than adding insult to injury and political correctness is sealing the deal.<<

I could not have said it any better. Thanks. If Islam was truly concerned about their image and how they like/love America, they would not do this just based on the pain True Americans Feel everyday about the 911 attacks.

Islam is a sham.

Jesus would never do such a thing.

Peace, Red out.

[ichabod1]

Moreover, no matter the good intentions of those developing the site (which I doubt), they can’t stop the mzuzzles from doing their AK-47 monkey dance in celebration. Hell, next step is to say non muzzles are not allowed to visit the WTC site because it’s now Dar al-Islam.

[ichabod1]

Yeah, osama-bama is going to be trying something like that if he is able to steal the election the second time. What would we do if we had a president that just refused to leave?

[GenXteacher]

So the pagans get to build a monument to Islam’s victory over the West.... Disgusting.

[ichabod1]

They keep ignoring that it is a religion of hate, especially toward the Jews as well.

[Ramius]

Is he going to let FDNY firefighters choose whether or not they would ever fight a fire in that building?

Hmmm... Lets see...

Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to allow smoking on their property?

Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to put salt on their food on their property?

Should government attempt to...

Bloomin' hypocrit.

Exactly! All of this "freedom of religion for islam" CRAP is just delusional PC appeasement NONSENSE. islam is NOT a religion, it is now, and has been for centuries, a purely EVIL political system with the stated goal of complete domination of the West. The West allows the EVIL of islam to gain ground within our borders at grave national peril. islam and ALL of its adherents need to be completely EXPELLED from all Western civilizations.

Their is nothing is our Constitution that provides protection for any elements of sworn ENEMIES of our Nation. Little POS biotches like the NYC Mayor are nothing more than treasonous pond scum that need to be dealt with according to our Laws.

[zzeeman]

Islam is *NOT* a religion.

You've got it EXACTLY CORRECT. We must all get this message out to everyone that we encounter.

islam is, and has always been, an EVIL ENEMY. Until the West can shake off its self-imposed Political Correctness shackles and EXPEL islam and ALL muslims from our Western Civilization, they will continue on their steady march of domination (the same one that has gone on for centuries). All of that PC rubbish needs to be dropped: giving islam protection in this country under the guise of "religious freedom" is a self-imposed suicide pact. Time to wake people up, there is no longer time to worry about what others may think of you, if they are too stupid (and/or willfully ignorant) to understand, why should any of us care what they may think?

The first step is to get people to understand exactly who this ENEMY is and to drop their fear of calling a spade a spade. Unless we want to allow our great Nation to descend into the tattered shreds of national sovereignty that remains in many Western European nations, we need to speak out loudly and clearly against this encroaching EVIL.

Do we have to wait several more years until it gets to the point of what Europe is now confronting until we get a political leader to speak out as Geert Wilders? Unfortunately when it gets to that point, it may prove to be too late.

Just one more bought and paid for elected and or appointed Official. 100 million per day in Islamic Petro Dollar profits from one Islamic Petro State alone buys Western Political whores and Sycophants as easily as you might buy a pack of gum.

[Silentgypsy]

I sent an email to the mayor’s office demanding that the plans be scrapped. It probably won’t change anything but has made me better.

[hdbc]

I say there should be a campaign to boycott NYC. If the libtards can boycott AZ, then we should reciprocate.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Uh,isn’t Mayor Bloomberg Jewish? If so then I can’t help but feel disgust that another Jew would be supportive of Islam.
