Yep, Americans are idiots, and New Yorkers even worse...maybe this will help FR to face facts.

There are only about 20% real Americans left in this country.

And we are loosing more each day to entitlements, government employment, government schools, and government/Hollywood/European leftwing propaganda.

And every September 11th there could be the World Trade Center Attack Memorial Porkfest.

Very restrained of course. Just let the aroma waft through the streets.

Especially during the call to prayer.

Let them build the first story.

Then drop half a ton of pig guts on the uncompleted building.

Repeat as needed.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg“If somebody wants to build a religious house of worship, they should do it and we shouldn’t be in the business of picking which religions can and which religions can’t. I think it’s fair to say if somebody was going to try to on that piece of property build a church or a synagogue, nobody would be yelling and screaming. And the fact of the matter is that Muslims have a right to do it too. What is great about America and particularly New York is we welcome everybody and I just- you know, if we are so afraid of something like this, what does it say about us? Democracy is stronger than this. You know, the ability to practice your religion is the- was one of the real reasons America was founded. And for us to say no is just, I think, not appropriate is a nice way to phrase it.”

There will be so much oil money thrown at this that it’ll shut up everyone from the top gov guys to the army of cops that’ll defend it, including many that knew those lost on 9/11. Money’s all this is about for most.

Another thing I love to see is on du, they say ‘no religous buildings anywhere’ and get big cheers. But in general, they love this mosque idea. If NYC allows this to happen I’ll regret ever feeling bad for what happened to them and will not feel bad when they get hit again.

We don't even hear of anyone/group protesting this.
I don't get it.

It’s not a “Mosque” It’s a Muslim VICTORY Tower!

Yes, that's exactly what it is.

The Islamists add rank insult to ruinous injury.

>>Surrender cannot be far behind.<<

That happened when the Mohammedan “school” was allowed to open in NYC, the better to spew their hatred. Anyone who thinks a goat humping pedophile is a prophet and is worth following is a moron.

Oh yes I do realize that. For years I worked in the local Jewish community. Surprisingly - to me at the time - they were very tolerant of things like pork and Kosher. The fellow who owend the company I worked for was famous for cooking a Beef/Pork shred for sandwhiches.

Obviously NOT orthodox but I did meet quite a few who were and even with my many faux paus we all got along great!

My wife claims there is Hebrew blood in me and actually there most likely is.

Perhaps the NYC Jewish community would understand.

Or not.

I wish someone would destroy it but when it's all said and done I believe nothing will be done. The city will pay extra to have it guarded, anyone causing problems will be arrested for hate crimes all in the name of diversity.

In light of the fact that one Barack Hussein Obama could win the popular vote a mere seven years after the murderous attack on our World Trade Center, I believe that your prediction is a sound one.

I'm going to be attacked for this, but.... good. Of course, this mosque should not be built (and I like the idea of a BBQ joint across the street, though I doubt it will be particularly offensive - muslims don't like alcohol either, and there are already bars on that block). But, I don't think the government has any authority to prevent them from building on private property.

I think the way to fight this is (1) take to the streets and protest, loudly (and don't stop, even after it's built), and (2) look into their funding. The NYAG has the authority to oversee the funding of any charity/religious group, and he ought to be using it to look very closely at this group.

Owners and insurers see that a mosque on site will deter future terrorist attacks.

Lots of stuff can happen to materials from supply house to building site.

No one is protesting because the left in this country successfully victimized Muslims (Israel) for the last 30 years....and especially after 9/11, when they declared war on the US.

The commie left only loves America when WE are dying..so after 9/11 they loved us until we went to war and showed our strength.

Then the US was the enemy, and the Islamic headchoppers were the victims of the evil US empire!

I would guess there are alot of politicians hands getting greased in order for this to be built. They don’t care about the symbolism of what this represents. At least, that’s the Chicago way.....
