Popular antipathy to a proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero is so fierce that even President Barack Obama, the nation's Islamophile-in-chief, "clarified" his August 11 statement supporting the plan to say, "I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there." It is not just a mosque, of which there are two in the neighborhood, but a symbol of Islamic presence. The most recent CNN poll shows an overwhelming 70%-29% margin of opposition.
When liberal politicians - like the president and New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg - defend the plan, what they mean is, "We want a big Islamic statement near Ground Zero as a gesture of outreach to the Muslim world." When the political right denounces it, they mean, "Muslim conquerors always build a mosque atop the ruins of the places they conquer, and we're not going to give the rascals the satisfaction." That was predictable.
What is surprising is how passionately Americans oppose the Ground Zero mosque. A revolt is brewing against America's liberal political elite.
It is hard to find consistent polling data about American attitudes towards Islam. The largest polling organizations, Pew and Gallup, draw funding from organizations with a vested interest in promoting a benign view of Islam. Nonetheless, the results are striking: in a Gallup inquiry [1] published in January 2010, Americans had an "unfavorable" view of Islam by a margin of 53%-42%, with 31% holding a strongly negative view. That contrasts with 15% for Judaism and 4% for Christianity.
Similar results emerge from polls of respective support for Israel and the Palestinians.

Just a couple examples...
Same reason we don’t like murderers or rapists...
As a religous movement, I have no problem with Islam. As a political movement, I’m completely against it in the same way I’m against socialism. The problem is, the lines between ‘religion’ and ‘political’ are very obscure in the Muslim world. In fact, you can make a case that Islam is completely political having nothing to do with faith. That’s the beauty and genious of this movement. Seriously, the KKK was famous for wrapping itself in religion but, reasonable folks stood back and said, “I dont think so.” Are the Black Panthers a religous movment? What if they said they were?
Islam has found the perfect grey area to exist in in our society. They are neither political nor religous but, they are both political and religous, too. They wrap themselves in the freedom of religion, protecting them from criticism yet, they are truly political in nature...able and often calling for violence as they see necessary. there is no doubt they would use the Mosque to openly criticize democracy and freedom while promoting Sharia law.
I’m just saying, this is a sticky-wicket for America. We all believe in the constitution yet, it is not a suicide pact either. If they insist on building a Mosque and tweaking 90% of the country then, I say we build a Pig farm, a Synagogue, and a Planned Parenthood Center next door. Plus, an adult book store/strip club should be built across the street. We can play this silly game, too.

Sharia law
Treatment of women
history of trying to conquer every nation they infiltrate and impose their mores

Because I belong to the Tea Party, which makes me a Bigot. (sarc/off)
Dogs are man’s best friend, muslims are man’s worst enemy.
So when some hollyweird star started prattling on about racism as a cause for WWII, I was amazed, because he had it backwards.
I don’t like anybody who wants me dead.
Of all the Bravo Sierra, “Americans” there are over 300 million of us, line up with many principles of the Islamic Faith, respect for Family, Education, hard work, industriousness.
Americans however, and the majority of Muslims in the US do not align themselves with cut throat terrorists.
amen
Could it be that a group of Islamic terrorist murdered a Americans when all they were doing was going to work.
We don’t have to like uncivilized savages.
Dogs are used to protect property, so perhaps, a culture of brigands and thieves would have reason to disdain dogs.
Dogs are used to protect people, so perhaps, a culture of cut-throats and murderers would have reason to disdain dogs.
Dogs are used to detect illicit drugs, so perhaps, a culture of smugglers would have reason to disdain dogs.
Dogs are used to detect explosives, so perhaps a culture of bombers would have reason to disdain dogs.
Of course, this is all speculation on my part...
Why? Just a few reasons come to mind:
ISLAM IS THE MOST RACIST, BIGOTED RELIGION, AND THE KORAN IS FILLED WITH HATE FOR ALL OTHER THAN MUSLIMS:
(It is taught in textbooks in some Muslims countries today that Christians are monkeys and Jews are pigs)
Christians will be burned in the Fire. 5:72
Whoever says Muhammad was black must be killed…(Ash-Shifa, Tr. Aisha Abdarrahman, 2004)
Ahmad ibn Abi Sulayman, the companion of Sahnun said, “Anyone who says that the Prophet was black should be killed. (ibid, p.375)
In one Hadith, Mohammed referred to Blacks as Raisn Heads (Sahih Al Bukhary vol. 1, no. 662 and vol. 9, no. 256), and as pug nosed slaves in Sahih Moslem vol. 9 pages 46 and 47.
Christians are wrong about the Trinity. For that they will have a painful doom. 5:73
Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to the rich and greedy Christian monks and Jewish rabbis.9:34
Jesus was not the Son of God. Those who say he was (Christians) are going to hell. 19:35-37
Scourge adulteresses with 100 stripes. Do not show them any pity. Have a party of believers watch the punishment. 24:2
THE KORAN PROMISES COUNTRIES TO CONQUER AND THE SPOILS THERIN:
Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27) .
MUSLIMS ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE KORAN TO BE STILL UNTIL THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE COUNTRIES THEY HAVE INVADED:
“Be patient with unbelievers until you have strength” (86.17).
THE KORAN INSTRUCTS MUSLIMS TO BE DECEPTIVE:
Quran 3:28 Don’t have unbelieving friends unless it is to deceive them. Remember the final goal is to Allah.
Allah’s law (Sharia) is binding to all…4:135
Allah accepts only Sharia and no other laws…7:29, 57:25
Allah is the Law-giver; He appointed Muhammad to implement the only correct laws (Sharia laws)…45:18
Quran 9:33 ISLAM WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL RELIGIONS ——————————————————————————————
THE FOUNDER OF CAIR HAS TOLD US PLAINLY OF ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE IN AMERICA:
“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.” OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR,the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.
.
Muzzies don't seem to have a problem with other faiths building places of worship whereever they want in Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.
We're all familiar with the Cathedral that's being built in Mecca are we not?
“Spengler buy a clue”
Hint: Before dubbing the author of the article “clueless”, perhaps you might want to review his writings.
“Spengler” has a remarkable resume, and among other things, was a financial adviser to President Reagan.
Plus the so-called mainstream or peaceful Muzzies never come out and disavow any of the atrocities.
Donchaknow?
If we show them tolerance,
they’ll show us tolerance!
(in actuality, they see ANY gesture of tolerance as weakness and a signal to attack)
None that I am aware of. Too busy blowing people up and chopping off heads, I guess.
