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."

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.

Obama doesn’t care for the word “hallowed”. I know he understands the word, he just doesn’t care.

His next step? A Japanese sushi shop on top of the Arizona Memorial.

Wait until the news breaks Obama supports turning the Alamo into a illegal alien sanctuary and prenatal care clinic.

Impeaching now would only strengthen him. This congress with the socialists in it would never give the required votes to impeach him ..

>The project is slated to begin on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.<

If anyone had any reservations of the intent of the planners regarding what this Mosque is all about, this should tell them everything they need to know.

How could you possibly know if he was or was not a Freemason? Especially if he belonged to a Clandistine Lodge?Who told you he wasn’t?

So explain your version of why he picked that room, and that particular photo..to be moved into his official photo op taken only by a White House Photographer to be in the middle of Judge Roberts and Obama in the photo?

Well actually it isn’t a photo. It is an 1804 painting that is an offical White House Treasure.

>What is he talking about?

In the whole history of Islam there is nothing, absolutely nothing like America, from our individual rights to the extraordinary accomplishments and freedoms. Nothing in their hellish world comes close to what America has done and Muslims had absolutely nothing to do with it.<

Don’t you remember them being there on the Mayflower?
Landing on Plymouth Rock?
Breaking bread with the Indians on thanksgiving?
Being one of he first on the line during our war for Independence?
Hell weren’t half of them signers of the declaration of Independence?

Yeah, I really don’t understand why he did this. It’s such a dumb political move. Congressional democrats must be getting very angry at Obama for all his dumb political moves, although few of them will express that anger publicly. He should have stayed out of this dispute completely. This is a toxic subject and it was foolish for Zero to get involved in it.

>I don’t know what can be done to stop this. W should have Ground Zero declared some Natl Memorial akin to Arlington or something. The GOP should pledge to pass a bill if they take back Congress doing that and maybe that will federalize the issue and allow Congress to step in and stop it. Dare Obama to veto it.<

That is what was done with Pearl Harbor .. a national monument now protected under law. I don’t remember the Japanese ever being able to build a temple to the emperor over looking Pearl or the USS Arizona do you?

>He is deliberately doing everything you see including pushing Islam. The question isn’t whether he knows it, but rather why he and his RAT supporters think he can get away with it because they show no signs of holding back on their agenda.<

Agreed which makes me frightened about the November elections. They don’t seem to be wary of anything knowing full well that these statements will only hurt them in a fair election.

Obama is a war criminal and enemy agent.

We hung Benedict Arnold for less than Obama has done.
