With the controversy over the location of a new, $100 million mosque near the spot of the 9-11 attack heating up, leading luminaries of the Democratic Party have come out in favor of going ahead with it as planned.
From the White House we have observed President Obama giving his blessing to the project, both in words and deeds. Building this mosque adjacent to the site of the worst massacre of civilians in US history opens up a dialogue between proponents of Islam and what are termed unbelievers, the President said. And dialogue is what America is all about. Thats why the project must go forward.
To show that his commitment goes beyond just words, the Administration has provided funding to help mosques get built. On the one hand, the US State Department is granting $16,000 for the Ground Zero Mosques Imam, Feisal Abdul Raul, to go on a round-the-world trip to raise donations to support the mosques construction. Raul thanked the President for his support in helping spread Islam and bringing America a step closer to the day when sharia law shall replace the devils document that now rules the land. The devils document is believed to be the US Constitution.
On the other hand, the US State Department has been quietly supplying funds for the construction of mosques in other countries. So far, mosques in Tanzania, Egypt, and Iraq have received funding from the United States government. Though normally quick to pounce on government aid to religious institutions, the ACLU has refrained from intervening on the grounds that the governments support of these mosques is undertaken for political rather than religious motivations, said ACLU spokesman Bertram Petty.
Democratic National Committee Chair Tim Kaine said he would be just as supportive of building a synagogue near the site if Jewish fanatics had been the ones who had destroyed the World Trade Center on 9-11. The fact that Muslim jihadis were responsible doesnt change my commitment to freedom of religion one bit.
Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisc) expressed his concern that a persons position on this mosque will be used to affect the outcome of upcoming elections. This is a violation of the McCain-Feingold regulations that prohibit groups from speaking out against members of Congress during the 60 days before an election.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) demanded that those opposing the mosque be investigated by the US Department of Justice. Our leader, President Obama, has already decided that this mosque deserves our support, Pelosi said. To persist in opposing it at this point is disloyal and tends to undermine his authority to rule America. Those committing such treasonous acts should face the full punishment permitted by law.
