Is there anything to stop a separate prayer vigil? For those who wish to pray.
Let me be the first to suggest that there will be an Imam there...
So Bloomberg doesn’t want this event to be either political or religious? Everyone will be given a scrap of paper with a poem to read??????
I hope someone deviates from their assigned lines, and puts in a good word for God and our collective religious faith in this country, at such a solemn occasion.
Since an idiot like Kanye West was allowed to deviate from his lines at the Katrina memorial event, and liberals celebrated his attack on Bush, then clearly good liberals are okay with deviance, and would celebrate someone not just reciting their assigned lines.
Let’s see, no clergy, no first responders, but he loves the Ground Zero Mosque...
Can anyone explain to me why they just don’t move the whole thing to THAT site and call it a victory celebration?
The Mayor should be banned from the ceremony by a human wall.
“Put not your trust in ruler nor in any child of earth,
for there is no help in them;
When they breathe their last they return to earth
and in that day their thoughts perish”
Psalm 146:3
Someday we will have heard the last of Bloomberg.
I hope someone puts on a prayer ceremony for the destruction brought to America. I would bet with even a short few days notice, thousands would respond.
Now he bans all prayers ~
Guy is a total fruitcake.
I tell you he's been cracking up ~ first doing that straw gun buying in Virginia, and now the possibility he's involved in something like it in Indiana, and then this.
He's just not right in the head.
Best thing to do is EVERYBODY STAY AWAY from Bloomberg's thing and do a ceremony someplace else.
This man is dangerous.
So the Mayor of NYC is marking the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 by submitting to Sharia. Banning clergy makes no sense at all. More and more every day I do not recognize my country.
The whole thing should be “cancelled”.
And the Mayor “escorted” to New Jersey.
This says a lot more about New Yorkers than anything about this pos. Neither Hot nor Cold. So God spits them out of His mouth.
The one thought that soothes my soul is knowing that all that perished that day (EXCEPT THE TERRORISTS) are in Heaven and there is nothing anyone on earth can do or say to hurt them. What is sad is the pain Bloomberg is causing the families of the victims and the first responders. He has turned this into a po;itical dog and pony show. I sincerely hope he pays for this at the next election cycle.
I personally am going to pray for the innocent souls lost. I will even pray for Bloomberg because his belief in earthly power over heavenly eternity is very sad.
There was a lot of Irish Catholic fireman who died in that pit - and they aren’t allowed to have a priest there to commemorate the day? The NYFD should boycott this ceremony and have their own.
Bloomberg is a secular progressive, but a complete hypocrite as he ran around all last year saying Muslims have a right to build a mosque on Ground Zero, but now he says that these dead Irish Catholic fireman cannot have a priest say a few prayers on their behalf.
Yes. And he doesn’t want the first responders there, either. So. Bloomberg is a retard, as well as a really bad mayor? This is what happens when you put a silver-spoon, trust-fund baby with NO concept of the real world in power...we sure ducked a bullet with Gore, didn’t we?
Perhaps it is time for REAL Americans to show up to these leftie shindigs. I would LOVE to see the ministers and priests, the families, and the first responders show up, surround Ground Zero, and during Bloomie’s gassy speech, stand up, hold hands, say a prayer and break into the Star Spangled Banner. Wouldn’t THAT be a wonderful sight!
So no first responders, no clergy. Who do they want there? Other pond scum pols? “Celebrities”? I’m officially ignoring their “memorial service”.
I don’t think these events are appropriate. Clearly, they are being run to advance current political/special interest agendas. Then you have orgs like the NFL seeking to horn in ultimately for no other reason than to assuage their guilt over playing games on Sept 11. Just play the games and skip the guilt trip “ceremonies.”
What happened on that day was horrible and will always BE horrible and the idea that an “anniversary” can be made of it and then used by slimebags like Bloomberg to advance their secular fantasies...
No.
Who’s memorial is this anyway?!?! Bloomberg is turning this into a politically correct event which means he has politicized it, which in most peoples’ view is a sacrilege ... tell ya what, how bout some devout believers in the area go and kneel in silence, as a group, and sincerely pray that blue ice falls from the sky and smacks Bloomberg in the head...
