“They obviously have no clue about the symbolism of such a move, or they don’t care....”

“”It’s a seed of peace,””

Appeasement promotes war - every time. It’s human nature.

Many believe that with a Mosque at Ground Zero there will be much more terrorism and death going forward. Very sad thought indeed and such DISRESPECT to the families who lost loved ones.

What has come of America?

ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!

It is the seed of surrender that will lead to unending violence. Townley is the worst kind of coward.
