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."

When THAT happens....WE can talk....until then...NO MORE MOSQUES in the USA.
I hope you have a book to read while you are waiting. A long book.
There's an islamic center uptown...somewhere in the 90s I think. Can't see GZ from there, so that doesn't work for them!
Whoa...p>Thanks for the link. I gotta verify some of them numbers, but will still be passing that link on.
Except when it applies to Christians, eh, Mr. President?
Bucking Fastard!!!!! What I really want to say would put me in jail.
Islam gave us 9/11.
Obama must see THAT as an accomplishment.
Obama is EVIL.
Thanks for the quote. I forgot about that one. It's sick.
I'll add that to my comments on Fox News for this topic.
All that’s missing in that picture is a floating “Fatwah”
Religious freedom? Private property? Local laws and ordinances? Who does this Communist Kenyan Muslim BA$TARD think he is?!?!?!
I SOOOOO can’t wait for November!
I am so glad our son became an Eagle Scout while GWB was president. I would hate to have any of his documents signed by BHO.
My dad died on 1.8.09. I was so thankful that when the military guard presented the folded flag to my mom and said " On behalf of the President of the United States and the people of a grateful nation, may I present this flag as a token of appreciation for the honorable and faithful service your loved one rendered this nation" that the president was still GWB and not BHO.
“I’ll go hide now. “
Don’t you dare hide. I’m proud of you!
BTW, your folks are THINKING ahead.

Oklahoma lawmakers are supporting an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would prohibit state courts from relying upon Sharia (Islamic law) or international law in deciding cases.
House Joint Resolution 1056 would place the issue before Oklahoma voters in November. This resolution, nicknamed Save Our State, has been proposed because of a rising concern with courts citing non-American sources as legal authority. Sharia, in particular, poses a threat to traditional American values. Honor killings and similar crimes are seeping into our nation, with justification under traditional Islamic law an increasingly common concern..
Impeach now... investigate criminal charges after he leaves office. Try him if the charges find merit... and then let justice be done.
