Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero
FOXnews ^

Posted on 08/13/2010 5:54:30 PM PDT by fabrizio

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less. "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

Can anyone name one thing pro-American Obama has backed?

I can't think of one solitary pro-American thing the Zero has supported since being in office. Not one.

But ask me about all the anti-American things he's backed since being in office, and my fingers will get tired of typing.

Enough is enough. This man doesn’t have the first clue. This is like electing an American Nazi to replace Roosevelt. If people don’t object to this, they are truly hopeless.

Maybe it’s because Obama is a leftist airhead who doesn’t have the first clue what he’s doing. Also, he has no real connection to this country.

“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country,” Obama said,

He’s a muslim alright. It’s no secret muslims intend to build a monument, one where they can look with glee down upon the ashes of 911. Obama knows this. He supports this. He demands this. He’s a muslim tried and true.

Obama also knows the history of Cordoba, Spain. It is here where the muslim conquerers of Cordoba converted a Christian church to a mosque. “The Great Mosque of Cordoba.”

And what will be the name of this muslim monument to 911? That’s right, the Cardoba House.

You notice it’s “freedom of religion” when it comes to Islam, but it’s “separation of church and state” when it comes to Christianity.

My prediction is that after the president gets inevitable re-election, sometime in 2013 he “converts” to Islam.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"
President Ronald Reagan

Nor does he give a rats arse about them, you, me, nor anyone who holds American values sacred. His eyes remain focussed on the target. The destruction of America, and everything it symbolizes.

Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings

Ummm...is there another kind of Islam out there that he's talking about? I would like for him to point to even one Islamic country in the entire world that does or ever has done any of those things. A big stinkin' bunch of rhetoric is ALL this is and he must think Americans have a very short memory or are all as stupid as he thinks we are.

There is a huge significance in building this mosque on this particular site and it is purely to recruit more radicals to the cause of defeating America. Obama knows this and his words prove he approves of this goal as well!

I don’t believe it was the intent of the Founders to grant ‘freedom of religion’ to death cults who call for the extermination of all members of all other religions.

More MONEY than THEY have will stop the project. First of all they do not yet own the entire property...have not raised the money needed, so is just in the planning stages. Why Bloomberg and Obama got into the mix at such a early stage is questionable—or plain stupid!!

This controversy will not go away quietly!! and to begin construction on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11? Insensitivity personified!!! So many of us know of someone(s) who died on that day..to let this happen.

Today on Hannity’s radio show, he had a guest, whose name I could not grasp but he has been on TV and this man is a young man who has renounced Isalm, become Christian. He used to be a terrorist, and in his early days in the US with the goal of raising money for the terror groups, he began to see how different this world is from that in which he was born and taught to hate Jews just because they are Jews. The guy was born in Bethlehem to an American mother who was not allowed to leave..
He said that his family there knows this Iman who is trying to get this mosque built and that he is radical who believes in Shria and he said that Americans are not familiar with the Islamic proviso that permits lying to get to the goal and it is to be done in a gentle and polite way so as to effect the change in say a bloodless way. He went on to say that because the Progressives and the Ialmics think a like this will be easy to accomplish and America is in very dangerous waters right now. And that 0bams is NOT one of us at all.
Just look at the Muslims he puts in the WH and the greeting for Rhamadan. 0bama is NOT what he presents himself to be.
Does anyone know the name of this man? He lives under threat from the Islamics..he is a marked man. I have tried to google him and found another one who says the same sorts of things but is from Iran.

How do the Freemasons enter into this?

I was intrigued when someone said the handshake to Alexi was a Freemason handshake.I am not sure about that but I did find plenty of other evidence that leads me to believe Obama is either a Freemason or beholden to them.

One of the more interesting bits is the one about the 1804 Freemason picture put above the fireplace when Roberts did the private swearing in. It is placed in between Roberts and Obama on the wall for the photo op.

I looked at historical pictures. During Clinton and Bush that picture was in a certain place..not above the fire place. When Obama did the interview with Matt Lauer it was no longer above the fireplace. Not sure where it went.

Bob Schieffer gave Obama the freemason handshake during the debate.

But the more interesting photo is at Obama’s graduation where he gets the handshake from the Dean and in between the two of them is the G which is a Freemason letter. Many think that picture is photoshopped.

Don’t know what the deal is but there is enough out there to wonder what role the Freemasons play in this.

...after the president gets inevitable re-election...

Huh???

Not a chance, my friend. Obama will be lucky to still be in office by the time of the next presidential election. He's only 20 months into his term, and has already got most of the country so enraged at him that they can't speak their minds for fear of being arrested.

He's so radioactive to Democrats running for office, that they're purposely avoiding all connection to him. His radical agenda has caused so much damage to the country that the Democrats are about to lose Congress by historic measure.

Trust me, he's already realized that he's a one-termer. The Democrats will NOT run him for president in 2012.
