WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Friday backed construction of a proposed mosque and Muslim cultural center near the site of the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York -- a project opposed by U.S. conservatives and many New Yorkers.
"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 to applause at an event attended by diplomats from Islamic countries and members of the U.S. Muslim community.
"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, weighing in for the first time ..
Earlier this month a New York city agency cleared the way for construction of the community center, which will include a prayer room, two blocks from the site of the September 11 attacks, popularly known as "Ground Zero."
"This is America and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable," said Obama, who has made improving ties between the United States and the Muslim world a cornerstone of his foreign policy.
Obama was speaking during an Iftar dinner he hosted at the White House. Iftar is the evening meal when Muslims break their daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
About 2,750 people were killed in the September 11 attacks, when al Qaeda hijackers crashed two passenger planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The attacks deeply traumatized Americans and sparked the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and the Bush administration's "war on terror."
Many families of those killed in the attacks have mounted an emotional campaign to block the community center, calling it provocative and a betrayal of the memory of the victims.

Of course they are building their mosques over here. They get special consideration and they are reassured that bombs won't fall on them over here.
Drawing Mohammed Day was considered insensitive. I propose we have another Drawing Mohammed Day.
New York is one of the most liberal cities in America.
As a mooseSlime what are your beliefs on the rights of other religions to exist?

Personally, I think this is big time news.
If he had any chance of re-election in 2012, it is over.

It is so comforting to know that the conservative leadership knows exactly what is morally right and is more than willing to speak out against this travesty!
/sarcasm off/
I would have said Tar and Feathers, but that would be a waste of good tar and I wouldn’t want anyone or anything, including chickens, giving up their lives for this traitor.
From http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/137991 :
Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.”
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... “
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.
Thanks for posting that. I was trying to remember that quote from his book to post it myself.
Yup, this is one, but only one that he didn’t lie.
Obama is a bastard sympathizer. Plain and clear.
Comrade zero just showing his true allegience.
Never Forget 9-11
President of the United States, the State Department, liberals of all strips have forgotten.

Mosque on sacred ground is wrong on so many levels.
This must be stopped.
