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."

I am a Christian. I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, and my savior. That being said, I don't like it when a Christian prays in an ostentatious fashion which seems to say "look at me and look at how pious I am".

Needless to say I don't appreciate it when some band of 7th century wannabees seize a city street in an ostentatious prayer event, and for whatever reason, blocks traffic, acts like fools on an airplane and terrorizes passengers, etc.

Every lactose intolerant male in NYC needs to drink a half gallon milk shake an hour before, dress in Muslim garb, and get down and dirty on the ground with them. Every single day.

No Muslim should be allowed to hold office anywhere in the United States . This is not a racist statement. This isn’t a racial issue, it is a political issue. It is a National Security Issue. When the majority of the people that want to see the United States destroyed happen to be Muslim, it is a National Security Issue. Allowing them in is no different than allowing a communist into office.

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

Thank you for this post with all of these damning quotes and other information, they have already been passed along my email chains. And I agree, your statement is nothing but calling a spade a spade, something that we need people to learn how to do again!

Maybe, when enough people wake up and spit out that bit of Political Correctness that has been grinding away at Western civilization for decades and once again find the courage to call a spade a spade--islam is NOT a "religion" of any sort. ALL practitioners and supporters of this death cult need to be forcibly EXPELLED from Western civilization. Every day that we allow the EVIL of Political Correctness to silence the voice of TRUTH and reason, is another day that the EVIL called islam continues unabated in its conquest. Thanks again.

When we visited India in 1995, while touring the country, we saw people living in cemeteries, laying their clothes to dry on headstones (quite bizarre to see so many colorful clothing items in a place for the dead)—my husband (India native, now US citizen) told me way back then that they were Muslims who had no respect for Christian/Hindu beliefs. I remember being dumbfounded, and wondering what the Muslim reaction to someone NOT Muslim doing the same thing in a Muslim cemetery might be?
“Death.”

I was browsing amazon.com for Washington Irving's book “Tales of the Alhambra, and came upon this interesting review from 2006:

“I am a Moor and I relate to the stories well. The stories reminded me of the things to avoid for the things that will come. A Moorish Empire will rise again. ... This is a worth while reader for anyone who knows and wants the best from humanity for it is the Moors who created civilization and it is their station to restore it...””

*Tales of Alhambra* sounds like a must read for our day.

Your mention of the Moors once again brought to mind Michelle Obama’s mystery business trip to Spain. At which time the clearance was given for the “Cordoba” GZ mosque.

Those who forget history are bound to repeat it. And we know why they are naming the mosque “Cordoba”.

The “Caliphate of Córdoba”

“...The Caliphate enjoyed immense prosperity throughout the 10th century. Abd-ar-Rahman III not only united al-Andalus, but brought the Christian kingdoms of the north, through force and diplomacy, under control...”

Don't forget the PLO was just recently ‘upgraded’ and made a general delegate, was given diplomatic immunity and are now flying their flag stateside.

We must not build a house of worship for the religion that laid waste to these souls directly over where their ashes rest.

"Cordoba House" Suggests Muslim Triumphalism in Construction of Mosque At Ground Zero

Excerpt . . .I don’t think any treatment of the topic can be complete without reference to the meaning behind the name of the “initiative” that intends to establish it – the Cordoba Initiative– or to the plan to name the mosque Cordoba House.

Benjamin Latrobe . The Freemason discussion is quite relevant to the approval of this mosque.

Most people on this site think Obama is a puppet. Most think he is a puppet of Soros.

Rush believes there is a Ruling Class and many Republicans are part of the problem.

So how do the Freemasons play a role in this and why is it important.

I don’t know much about secret societies. However, I do know there are people who believe in the New World Order.

Tony Blair, the Pope, and Obama supposedly believe in it.

A poster here says Obama couldn’t possibly be a Freemason because he isn’t defending America. I quite disagree.

Freemasons take an oath of secrecy. Oh, btw, it is okay for Freemasons to lie according to their oaths ..and they must protect their brothers at all costs.

A peon Freemason is not going to know what a world Government leader Freemason is up to that believes in the New World Order.

Have there been Freemasons in politics who haven’t set their eyes on destroying America. Of course, ..and as has been pointed out..some Founding Fathers were Freemasons.

So just who is destroying America? And is it really only the Muslims? Or are Muslims being used at the tool for the New World Order wanted by a Clandestine Lodge of the Freemasons or some other secret society..Bilderbergs, Illuminati, etc.

The point remains, that an 1804 painting that is a Natural Treasure was moved to a prime spot for Obama’s swearing in photo op and had been moved a short time later as seen in the Matt Lauer interview.

I don’t know the protocol and procedures for moving National treasures in the White House. But I do know their locations must be indexed and archived.

you just can’t grab an 1804 painting and decide to move it into your bedroom without an accounting for it.

And everyone on this site should realize that something went down that caused the Market crash right before the election when Billions of dollars were drained in a short amount of time. Who was responsible? Just Soros? who knows..it was Swept under the rug.

Just why would people who are not Muslims..be defending and helping the mosque to be built???

Their is a history between Muslims and Freemasons.

Based I what I found,,,it appears for the most part that Muslims should no longer be Freemasons. However, does that rule really apply to those at the upper echelons of a Secret Society hell bent on destroying America?

Every person on this site should realize that something is going on in this country. It’s like a Tract II situation (for those familiar with Government Ops in foreign countries)

So just who is behind it?
I don’t rule out a Freemason secret lodge.

And now we have the Hindenburg Omen...a name given to a set of indicators for a market crash...like was seen in 2008...right before the elections.

“HOW COULD THE COUNTRY HAVE ELECTED THIS POS TO THE PRESIDENCY?”

John McCain, RINOS, SEIU, ACORN, NAACP, Rainbow, gays and lesbians, Unions, 98% of black voters, 90% of white liberal voters, 70% of Hispanic voters, CAIR, 99 % of MUSLIM voters, Enviromentalists, Ecologists, global warmists, 99% of the liberal media adoring him, large percent of conservatives staying home, voter fraud, and so on...

If we don’t defeat all of the above come November, then we’ll learn the rest of the story.

For more info on Benjamin Latrobe “Father of Architecture in America.”

http://www.scottishrite.org/council/journal/aug01/ellenberger.html

Was Obama signaling a message with that painting in his swearing in photo op? No one can dispute the oddness of putting it there for the photo op and then it vanishing a few days later from that spot...for whatever reason.

God help us all if Obama has been cast as the Father of Architecture of the New World Order

Well, now, looks like Emperor Barack Palpatine will have a place to worship when he visits New York.
