Tolerance does not mean strong support, Obama you idiot.

So what did he do after he gave this speech and popped the emergency chute on the White House? Grab a beer and run out into the Rose Garden?

I’m having a “dog bites man” moment with this news flash.

“The writ of our Founders must endure.”

Who would have guessed that the Marxist-in-Chief has such reverence for the Constitution?

There are dozens of mosques in NYC, so not building one at Ground Zero would not be restricting freedom of religion. Many municipalities refuse to allow churches in neighborhoods. Does this mean that mosques must be allowed wherever Muslims want them by Presidential decree?

"This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are. The writ of our Founders must endure,"

The audacity of this guy's bullshit is stunning.

What does the fact that Muslims have always been welcome in this country have to do with the blatant insult involved in this mosque? Nothing, and he damn well knows it. Muslims have NOTHING to complain about regarding their treatment in this country, whether by the government or its citizens. We responded how, after 9/11? Our president made the point that this was a "religion of peace" and that we were at war with terror, not Islam (whatever I thought of those positions). Our citizens, in their justifiable anger after seeing 3000 innocents slaughtered in the name of Islam, responded by marching in the streets, killing believers, daily denouncing the religion of the attackers--oh, wait, that's not what happened at all.

So please, Mr. President, take this lying garbage about "religious freedom" and stick it. It is about a religion that despises this nation, has attacked this nation, and stands for everything this nation and your supporters despise--the subjugation of women, the killing of homosexuals, religious control of the state and the schools, and the quashing of all dissent and minority opinion.

This is no more about freedom of religion than it is about real estate. And he knows it.

His tone of voice was despicable.

No one has said muslims don’t have the right to practice their religion.

No surprise that he supports the mosque at Ground Zero. He is part of the worldwide islamic movement to destroy Christianity and Judaism.

Honorable Americans will wake up to the danger or we will be doomed to live under $haria law. Stonings, beheadings, women locked away from education, medical care, and daylight.

Hopefully Obama can be moved there in 2012 so he can spend some time there before the Republicans have the federal government seize it.

To: Scanian; All

he’s using the statement that muslims should be allowed to build a mosque and observe their religion... because this is America

this is true

of course, if the muslims were actually interested in their religion, and not just poking America in the eye, then they would OBVIOUSLY see the sensitivity of placing a mosque in that area... and would beg forgiveness, say their sorry for choosing that location, and find a new site.

but that’s not what they are doing. no. they are deliberately trying to rub our noses in the 9-11 event... and either 0bama is so stupid that he doesn’t see that... or complicit and actually wants to help

>>>>>”This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.<<<<<

How can a man say such a thing when his own religious views are so shakeble.

He got shook hard when he was running for President, and his religion was the religon of bigotry,and white hate, practiced by the Rev Wright, his mentor.

He threw Wright under the bus, but he wasnt really a Christian even then, just a hater of whites. His true religion is as a Muslim, but even that religious faith is shakeble and gets shaken by the American Vote.

At least he stopped going to Christian Church’s and perpetuating the lie that he is Christian, even though he denies what he really is.

Jonathan Elliot was prescient:

“Those who are Mahometans, or any others who are not professors of the Christian religion, can never be elected to the office of President, or other high office, but in one of two cases. First, if the people of America lay aside the Christian religion altogether, it may happen. Should this unfortunately take place, the people will choose such men as think as they do themselves. Another case is, if any persons of such descriptions should, notwithstanding their religion, acquire the confidence and esteem of the people of America by their good conduct and practice of virtue, they may be chosen. I leave it to gentlemen’s candor to judge what probability there is of the people’s choosing men of different sentiments from themselves.”

The people of America have laid aside their Christian religion.

Gee, as a Muslim, is it “kosher” for the POTUS to make political statements during Ramadan?

saying it shows that America’s commitment to to religious tolerance is "unshakeable."

Then the same standard must be used for the tolerance of Satanists/Luciferians and worshipers of Kali.

Let me ask everybody on this thread, “In Muslim countries, do they allow Catholic Cathedrals to be built?”, and the answer to that is of course not. Christians are killed in those countries if they even express their Christian beliefs and they want to build a mosque and Ground Zero? C’mon people wake up. This is very offensive.

Has there ever been any reports of Obozo's initial reaction to the 9-11 attacks? Perhaps dancing in the streets?
