I wonder what this Democrat political operative pretending to be a Journalists would say if instead of a mosque at Ground Zero, this was about the Aryan Nation wanting to move their HQ to the hotel where Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated

Or perhaps a Nazi community center a half block away from the gates of Auschwitz-Birkenau or Treblinka.

Um are all Japanese people WWII fighter pilots? Obviously not. Yet we still would not appreciate a Japanese monument built atop Pearl Harbor.

The argument that “all Muslims are not terrorists”, while true, is irrelevant.

However the dispute is ultimately resolved, its impact on the "threat" posed by radical Islam will be negligible.

That's just not true.

What is preached in these mosques is sedition pure and simple. We should deal with it as sedition, and begin to not only refuse to allow mosques to be built, but to begin to crack down on those that now exist. Not violently, we don't have to resort to that, the laws of our country are being broken, an enemy is within.

I'm sure many countries in Europe wish they had dealt with the Islam problem early on, and it is still not too late here in America to begin to play hard ball. The outcome of this controversy in NY is absolutely pivotal for America as we currently know it.

REALLY! Does everyone else GET THE RIGHT to practice their religion? See the below stories.

"A group of Christian students was allegedly ordered to stop praying outside the U.S. Supreme Court building on May 5 (2010) because a court police officer told them it was against the law"

Now compare to the year before on Sept 26th 2009

"About 3,000 Muslims gathered Friday for a first-ever prayer service in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol in what turned out to be a peaceful assembly despite the taunts of Christian evangelists on the surrounding sidewalks." Read the full article above at:
Muslims Praying

Meanwhile a Greek Orthodox Church (the only church that was previously at Ground Zero and destroyed has not been able to rebuild because of bureaucracy.

"While a mosque is one step closer to being built in New York City (2) blocks away from Ground Zero, a church that was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks has yet to be restored."

"St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church stood in the shadow of the Twin Towers and was crushed when the South Tower collapsed."

"Beck says that even though they rented the Kennedy Center for use on 8/27, they were told that they could not pray in the facility. That is beyond shocking. Apparently they finally relented, but I'm guessing that it's only because of who he is. Had it been you are me, we'd probably be in handcuffs after we disobeyed and prayed anyway."

"State Department officials on Monday confirmed Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Imam of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, will soon be going on a trip of the Middle East and the U.S. government will be picking up the tab."....... "Rauf has emerged as a controversial figure because of his refusal to acknowledge Hamas as a terrorist organization, which is how the U.S. government classifies the group. The imam also has been quoted as saying U.S. foreign policy was in part responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Read more of the above at:
Feisal Abdul Rauf

This Iman, Feisal Abdul Rauf, wants SHARIA LAW practiced. Read up on what Sharia Law is.

Would we spend tax payers money to send Billy Graham to foreign country's to spread Christian beliefs? I think not.

Take a poll of those of us directly affected by 9/11. I'll guarantee you the result is far more than 70% opposed to the idea.

“If they build it they win.”

And then it becomes a tourist attraction for muslims from around the world to visit in order to celebrate their victorious 9/11 attack. And then it will used to encourage muslims to continue their fight to establish an islamic controlled government in the U.S.

(the MSM/DNC are rewriting history from just a few months ago!)

“The history associated with the building, a former Burlington Coat Factory store that closed after being damaged on 9/11, was a reason to pick it for the project”... she said.

The Cordoba Project head told USA Today this in May...she also called it a mosque.

Why do Muslims need their own community center? Will anybody really be allowed to swim in the pool? Will women who want to swim there have to wear burkas?

Is the mosque really “open to all”, or will it be restricted to practicing muslims? Will there be standard separate areas for men, where no women are allowed?
