The proposed mosque near where the World Trade Center was attacked and destroyed, along with thousands of American lives, would be a 15-story middle finger to America.
It takes a high IQ to evade the obvious, so it is not surprising that the intelligentsia are out in force, decrying those who criticize this calculated insult.
What may surprise some people is that the American taxpayer is currently financing a trip to the Middle East by the imam who is pushing this project, so that he can raise the money to build it. The State Department is subsidizing his travel.
The big talking point is that this is an issue about "religious freedom" and that Muslims have a "right" to build a mosque where they choose. But those who oppose this project are not claiming that there is no legal right to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center.
If anybody did, it would be a matter for the courts to decide — and they would undoubtedly say that it is not illegal to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center attack.
The intelligentsia and others who are wrapping themselves in the Constitution are fighting a phony war against a straw man. Why create a false issue, except to evade the real issue?
Our betters are telling us that we need to be more "tolerant" and more "sensitive" to the feelings of Muslims. But if we are supposed to be sensitive to Muslims, why are Muslims not supposed to be sensitive to the feelings of millions of Americans, for whom 9/11 was the biggest national trauma since Pearl Harbor?

AMEN!
Thanks for the ping, Kaslin.
You’re very welcome
Let Zero keep flapping his jaws on this issue.
November is right around the corner.
Sowell is GREAT!
He is indeed
Thank God for Thomas Sowell.
Still waiting for the existance of Islamic “Tolerance”
IN ANY FORM.
Sowell at least still believes in property rights. Many here would disagree with him, however.

Say again?
“Say again?”
ROFL!
Why are so many government parties anxious to help this imam out? It’s like there’s an unwritten deal that if the mosque is built, then both sides can declare victory and call the Long War over.
Exactly, and it'll hurt them this November. I believe it'll hurt Obama and the left far more in 2012.
This is NOT a property-rights issue. Never has been. No one questions their "right" to build it (subject to zoning rules, approvals, etc etc). We're questioning why they want to build it on THIS PARTICULAR SPOT. And if you think about it, you'll know the reason why.
Liberals would ‘get’ this if a Christian group wanted to build a 60 foot cross next to every abortion clinic in the country. They would throw that ‘religion’ excuse right out the door... Liberals are beneath contempt on this one...

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the latest spokesmodel from the deceit wing of the religion of pieces, is hiding out in style on the taxpayer's dime, kind of like our President. This is only one of many similarities that are surfacing between Islam and the American Left. Surely a bridge has been built between the two groups...(Click here for more)
