BREAKING: Muslim Leaders Decide Against Ground Zero Mosque
The Right Sphere ^ | 8/16/10 | Brandon Kiser

Posted on 08/16/2010 1:32:09 PM PDT by peggybac

fter 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.

The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.

Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days.

New York Governor David Patterson said last weekend that Muslim leaders had rejected outright his proposal to swap the site in for another in Manhattan.

“Internal battle within Zero’s admin.”

Exactly. This issue is ripping apart the hardcore Moslems/Marxists from the Socialists who seek reelection.

Omoslem can’t even get Harry Reid to follow this time.

they’d far rather see a shopping mall

Not even that:

City Council armory assault nixes Mayor Bloomberg-backed Bronx shopping mall

"The deal breaker: Local officials wanted the developers to ensure that retail workers in the mall would be paid a "living wage" of $10 an hour with benefits, or $11.50 without benefits. Bloomberg and the developer, the Related Cos., refused".

And so the long-vacant Kingsbridge Armory goes unutilized as an asset to the community .....

Liberalism truly *is* a mental disease

Muslims lie.

My guess is that it's temporary cover for their guy in the White House, and the rest of their muzzie supporters in Congress.

Once the November elections are over, they'll drag it back out.

SOP, right out of the socialist Democrat playbook.

They can SAY what they want, but as for the majority of people it will be meaningless and nothing more than an attempt to save face.

Suppose a group of foreigners, citing our own freedoms as an excuse decided to put a Nazi glorifying retail store next to a major Synagogue? Then, strictly due to the pressure brought by the population, not only of the locals but of the entire country, changed their decision, would that be considered in any form a victory for the foreigners?

I see no difference. What the terrorists did to the WTC is as abhorrent to most Americans as is the Holocaust to Jews.

Freedom of religion. You want to practice an unpopular religion, fine.
Wait, stop. Islam is an evil religion not unpopular but evil and very illegal. The things they do to women are totally illegal and worse.

We didn’t let the Mormons get away with their crap and we must not let the moslems get away with theirs.

THE Edmunds–Tucker Act

The act disincorporated both the LDS Church and the Perpetual Emigration Fund on the grounds that they fostered polygamy

And islam is 10x worse than anything the Mormons did
