Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero
FOXnews ^

Posted on 08/13/2010 5:54:30 PM PDT by fabrizio

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less. "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

Islam is a seditious political ideology that should be banned in the U.S.

There are a lot of mosques already in NYC for the jihadists to worship in.

There's an islamic center uptown...somewhere in the 90s I think. Can't see GZ from there, so that doesn't work for them!

Except when it applies to Christians, eh, Mr. President?

“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country,”

Islam gave us 9/11.

Obama must see THAT as an accomplishment.

Obama is EVIL.

Thanks for the quote. I forgot about that one. It's sick.

I'll add that to my comments on Fox News for this topic.

Amen.

I am so glad our son became an Eagle Scout while GWB was president. I would hate to have any of his documents signed by BHO.

My dad died on 1.8.09. I was so thankful that when the military guard presented the folded flag to my mom and said " On behalf of the President of the United States and the people of a grateful nation, may I present this flag as a token of appreciation for the honorable and faithful service your loved one rendered this nation" that the president was still GWB and not BHO.

“I’ll go hide now. “

Don’t you dare hide. I’m proud of you!

BTW, your folks are THINKING ahead.

One state is preparing itself against Shariah Law

Written by Bruce Walker
Wednesday, 09 June 2010 16:10

Oklahoma lawmakers are supporting an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would prohibit state courts from relying upon Sharia (Islamic law) or international law in deciding cases.

House Joint Resolution 1056 would place the issue before Oklahoma voters in November. This resolution, nicknamed “Save Our State,” has been proposed because of a rising concern with courts citing non-American sources as legal authority. Sharia, in particular, poses a threat to traditional American values. Honor killings and similar crimes are seeping into our nation, with justification under traditional Islamic law an increasingly common concern..

Impeach now... investigate criminal charges after he leaves office. Try him if the charges find merit... and then let justice be done.

I want someone to explain this in terms of pure raw politics.

I think if someone applauds him 2 others will curse him .

Polls show 70% of Americans are against this
