Muslim leaders to abandon plans for Ground Zero community center (Disputed)

After weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero - the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York - it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site. ...

Al-Taqiyah?

[Islander7]

It is also possible that the decision was also influenced by comments made by U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday, in which he appeared to reverse an earlier show of support.

BINGO!

[LibWhacker]

I hear you. About as trustworthy and long-lasting as a muslim ceasefire.

[paulycy]

I truly doubt this is accurate.

Yeah, this smells. I don't buy it either.

0bama’s Victory Mosque defeated!

[paulycy]

A defeat for the Jihadists is a defeat for him.

Even if this story turns out to be true you can bet that they will find an angle to further their own agenda. They won't simply cave. Not a bit.

[McGruff]

Rush said today that there's already a Mosque only 12 blocks away from Ground Zero.

So why they need another one 2 blocks away?

[ReformedBeckite]

Yeah right, the muzzles are like the Democrats, its Ok to lie to get their way, they will probably plan one a few more blocks away, and get the Democrats to give them the land. < /s>

Got a video about Islam the other day, in the video it say the Koren says it is alright to lie to nonmuslims. Does anyone know whether this is true, I've got a gut feeling it is.

only to be moved to 1601 Penn Ave in DC?

[Falcon28]

Another factor in the apparent climbdown is a lack of funds to pay for construction of the center, estimated to cost a hundred million dollars.

I doubt this part of the story. If there is Saudi money involved (and there always is), they don't have a financial problem at all. Something fishy about this story. If they do find a new spot, they'll pick a spot just as offensive and build it twice as tall. This is what these a-holes do.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I am not discrediting the story....but NEVER trust a Muslim when they back off on something that offends non-Muslims.

Their Islamic Terrorist Hall of Fame is still in the works near Ground Zero....never trust the Muslims.

These are the same people that claimed they had peace with Israel....numerous times....only to attack later

community center?

What about the mosque?

[Bokababe]

“Even if this story turns out to be true you can bet that they will find an angle to further their own agenda. They won’t simply cave. Not a bit.”

Precisely.

[b4its2late]

Am I dreaming?

[Falcon28]

But several people familiar with the debate among New York's Islamic activists now claim that the leaders are convinced abandoning the site is preferable to unleashing a wave of bitterness towards Muslims

It doesn't matter where they build the next mosque, I still hate Islam. It's a totalitarian political system disguised as a religion. Get out of my country!

[EdReform]

Vanity: Google Maps shows plenty of "NYC Mosques" (for "religious freedom")

[ScreamingFist]

Yeah, this smells. I don't buy it either.

I do, the dems and obowma are getting beat like red hair step children with this issue. It's not over, but they are certainly trying to get this off the news cycle.....

[b4its2late]

Did they hear there’d be a strip club next door if they built it? That’d get ‘em.

[South40]

And they'll stop abusing women.
And they'll stop indoctrinating children with their book of hate.
And they'll stop lopping off the heads of those who do not practice their form of religion.
And they'll stop killing Jews.
And they'll bathe.
etc...

Muslims and Democrats are freak shows. My favorite quote from the article.

They also hope the move will be seen as a show of sensitivity to families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks, and to the American public generally.

I love how Muslims and Democrats think that its OK to cut our throats, throw salt in the wound, and then attempt to wash the salt out of the wound and say "Aren't we all better now? We just want peace."
