Greek Orthodox leaders trying to rebuild the only church destroyed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks expressed shock this week after learning, via Fox News, that government officials had killed a deal to relocate the church.
The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, once a tiny, four-story building in the shadows of lower Manhattan, was destroyed in 2001 by one of the falling World Trade Center towers. Nobody from the church was hurt in the attack, but the congregation has, for the past eight years, been trying to rebuild its house of worship.
Though talks between the church and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey stalled last year, church leaders say they've been trying to kick-start discussions ever since. But amid debate over whether a proposed Islamic community center should go forward near Ground Zero, government officials threw cold water on the prospect of any deal with the church -- telling Fox News the deal is off the table.

Radical liberal elites hate Christians...
Radical liberals put the screws to Christians ... once again.
I agree with that part, and if this story was misleading, then I overreacted. But with the news re the musk today, hearing that this Christian church, which I’ve been following for a few weeks now, was being proscribed literally made me feel sick.
I have been incensed for many years. And I apologize and am embarrassed by the actions of my government toward the good Christian Serbs.
I WONDER HOW MUCH MONEY THEY NEED AND IF THE UNIONS WILL SUPPORT BUILDING IT?
I WONDER IF THE UNIONS WILL SUPPORT BUILDING THE MOSQUE?
So what else is new?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I'd suggest the Sikhs get together with the Greek Orthodox and call the President, but these things are only national issues when you're building a Mosque to catcall allah akbar 5 times a day at the site where 5 Muslims per plane got lost over the Hudson River.

These issues are quite common, as are issues of propriety when building near historical sites, like Manassas and Gettysbury. Mosques, however, belong everywhere, and are exempt from criticism.
As the leader of the United States of America, the current President has already written and signed a check now on deposit.
Life imitates art, when:
Death Care

De-development of the US of A and

0bama DID say he wanted American women to get as many abortions as they wanted, remember? Consider this a two-fer. One for sexual freedom, one for population ‘control.’
Courtesy of Imam 0bama.
He has SIGNED OVER the lives of Americans as pledge. And, by law, our blood is on our own hands on deposit in Saudi, Chinese, Russian, Iranian and Soros/Bilderberger banks.
You could not WRITE a better script than to serve Islam by having an entire nation commit its own blood to the cause of Islam. Submit or die BY YOUR OWN HAND.
Or enslaved.
A religion (Islam) that is from the DEVIL directly.
Praise God for that miracle.
“It is beyond disgusting that NOTHING has been rebuilt in 9 years. No excuse, none what so ever!”
But NOW we know the reason nothing has been rebuilt.
Who needs al Andalus & The Great Mosque? Or, even Hagia Sophia? WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THE FINANCIAL NERVE CENTER OF THE US, formerly known as the financial center of the free world?
Now, for the Global Warming cabal to move the financial center of the US to Chicago, a la Cap ‘n Tax, leaving New York City to......
Massive Protest at Ground Zero on Sunday - August 22, 2010 - 10:30 am
This announcement needs to go out everywhere.
Couldn’t agree more.
