The backers of the controversial “Ground Zero Mosque” have won a court fight clearing the way for them to build the mosque and community center complex two blocks from the site of the 9/11 terror attack.
In a decision on Friday that was made public today, New York State Supreme Justice Paul Feinman dismissed a lawsuit by former firefighter Timothy Brown who argued that New York City was wrong to allow the destruction of a 150-year-old building to make way for the Islamic center.
The ex-firefighter who was among those who responded to the terror attack on the World Trade Center said the old building had been struck by debris during the collapse of the twin towers and was a “living representative of the heroic structures that commemorate the events of that day.”

Is he Jewish?
How about a fire engine blockade of the site? Of course this is after the area is saturated with bacon grease!

Is this a blog????
There will be a back lash.
Hope the unions will do their part!
I’m anti-unions; but in this case all workers shall be unionized. During construction life and safety shall be checked on a daily basis, any violations shall be accompaigned by “stop work” orders.
Appropriate departments should check that no “undocumented residents” are working on site.
If they plan to build this abomination, workers should assure that it will be over-budget.
Of course this was fought on the religious freedom issue. The only trouble is, not every Muslim group is purely religious. Many are a combination of religion and political policy. This is a description of a people hell bent on creating Sharia Law, which is not the separation of church and state as codified in our Constitution.
Islam IS POLITICAL. It is a system of militaristic fascism with elements of religion.
They probably have some child/porn proof against him and are bribing him—OR he is a Marxist like several of our SC Justices.
Govt. wants irrational laws and chaos for their revolution. Divide and conquer so we can establish totalitarianism.....One World Government.
Why would you allow a foreign government system to be established inside a US city when it is antithetical to the Constitution? And this person was trained in a US legal system?
OH YAH!!!! Oliver Wendell Marxist Holmes’ type of law-—That Postmodernist cr*p which is irrational and immoral...and Marxists took over our Universities and “twist” the history and censor the content, so law grads have NO CLUE as to what the intent and meaning of the Constitution is—oh, it breathes!!!!!!!!!
There are NO Universal Truths except what “we” decide— homosexuality is “good” and you can only put “positive” info about the pederasts in elementary text books, and you can’t mentioned that Hays—the founder of the movement was sodomized as a boy, even though he loved it. You can’t mention that Charles Manson was sodomized as a boy and went on to sodomize others. You can’t mention that a lot of the serial killers were homosexual—and a lot of them killed the little boys—after sodomy, of course. (Dahmer, Gacy, etc.) It MIGHT give the little boys nightmares—can’t mention the truth.
OH, but TV only shows “good” “loving” “cute” homosexuals who are just a little bit narcissistic, but so creative and talented—much more than “average” people!...It is agitprop—they have an agenda—The Marketing of Evil documents Hollywoods brainwashing techniques and the advertisers and Foundations who put billions into TV and movies to change your perceptions—market THEIR ideas....YOU are brainwashed by methodologies designed by highly paid psychologists that all TV shows hire and all commercials hire.
We do live in Goebbel’s Germany. It is more sophisticated now. Look for it—you will see the techniques.
The homosexuals I’ve known for real are extremely self-centered and hedonistic, one did prison for molesting boys and the lesbian I knew ran over her “girlfriend” in a rage. They are deeply dysfunctional in a most profound way and have a very warped, self-centered worldview (like zero).
Timothy McVeigh
I’ve heard Muslim spokesmen say that Islam is more than a religion. They say it’s also a social system, and a financial system, and a structure for all of society.
This could be an angle of future lawsuits, namely, that Islam is NOT simply a religion with adherents who want to practice it in peace and harmony with the rest of us. Arguably, a case could be made that Islam is not compatible with our constitution and diverse society.
Therein lies the argument. The judges hands are tied if all Islam is, is a religion. He had to accord equal treatment to Islam according to the Constitution. But if Islam were ajudged a cult, or a conspiracy, then we could legislate against it and the courts would treat Islam like Scientology or Peoples Temple. who knows for all I know these might be religions today..
Nonsense!
The Ground Zero Mosque is dead in the water,
and has been for more than a year.
It’s absurd to say some judge’s ruling gives
a ‘green light’ to its construction-—this challenge
by the firefighter is just one among many, and many more to come. The Ground Zero Mosque is NO CLOSER than it ever was to being built-—I was there among a thousand others
at the last very loud protest at the site last year, was interviewed by a European newspaper,and I can say with certainty that this Mosque WILL NEVER BE BUILT.
Is it any wonder that this whole issue has quieted down
drastically in the last six months?
It’s THEY who have very few cards to play, and this story makes it look like the Mosque’s opponents have very few cards to play. This story has got it ass-backwards.
Did the courts in Saudi Arabia give approval for that synagogue to be rebuilt in Mecca? The one Muhammed destroyed????????
Or will we have to wait a few more......centuries?
Courts are not supposed to be public policy organs, so it would have been surprising to see this nixed even by a conservative judge.
However, there’s nothing keeping other entities from opening up next door — like pork rib BBQ restaurants, all-dog pet stores, Christian booksellers, strip tease joints, and the like.
Exactly. A mosque in the U.S. is a political outpost designed to recruit, raise money and give support to the islamo-fascists. Given the opportunity, they will use our laws to undermine our society. They will use the same tactics as the gays.
Moslems take a p*ss on America, aided and abetted by judges and politicians.
Absolutely shameful.
