One of the most outrageous lies said during the Ground Zero Mosque controversy was told yesterday by Scott Stringer, Manhattan Borough President, on the O’Reilly Factor:
A few very well orchestrated agitators have created a situation where we now see tea party people going after Jewish American elected officials. Mayor Bloomberg, myself, the speaker of our assembly Sheldon Silver.
Shame on you Mr. Stringer!
America knows that those who disagree with Mayor Bloomberg on the MosqueGate are doing so not because of he is Jewish, but because he is misleading the public on the issue from day one.
Mayor Bloomberg and other NYC officials are refusing to take responsibility for the scandal by pretending it is a Freedom of Religion issue. It is not.
Mosques like churches, synagogues are buildings and are subject of property and zoning regulations. The constitution is not making the NYC zoning plans. Mayor Bloomberg and his administration do. NYC officials are trying to shift the blame on the Founding Fathers instead of taking responsibility for the mess... America disagrees equally with President Obama (not Jewish as far as we know) for the same reason. The Constitution gives freedom of religion to people not buildings. Churches and mosques and all other houses of worships are subject to zoning regulations, like all other buildings.
The Chicago zoning committee has rejected building a mosque (a tax-exempt institution) in the commercial district that is supposed to produce revenue for the city. The community in Chicago has the right to do it.
The only reason why today Imam Rauf and his greedy friends have right to build a mosque on Ground Zero is not because of freedom of religion, but because Mayor Bloomberg and his administration allowed it.
Blaming it on the Constitution is ridiculous and misleading.

REAL Jews can’t stand how these dhimmi “jews” like Bloomberg are fighting FOR the mosque (aka toilet).
Ask any orthodox/hasidic Jew, they’ll tell you.
Ask any Israeli, they’ll tell you.
Dirty moslems need to be stopped. Period.
