Yes, it was, but in reality, NY is the favorite target and taking the biggest risk. Terrorists are not likely to bomb a potato field in Iowa.

rep + 1 wow you're good and that is the best most accurate summary I think I have ever read.

Why isn't there more anger directed at Mayor Bloomberg for his approval of the Muslim Cultural Center?

All of these parties had far more influence and involvement than President Obama did in determinating the location of this Muslim Cultural Center yet most of the anger and venom is directed at President Obama.

Now why is that?
Wasn't anger at Obama over this until he stuck his foot in his mouth lecturing everyone about how the mosque legally should be built then tripped over said foot when running away from the comment. If he didn't want to comment specifically on this mosque, he shouldn't have opened his mouth.

BTW, many people in NYC ARE mad at Bloomberg and the Community Board. Obama is just the newest person to receive the ire of those opposed to the mosque.

9/11 Families Group Announces Support for Islamic Cultural Center in Lower Manhattan
May 20th, 2010

New York – Today, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, a nationwide group founded by family members of those killed on 9/11 issued the following statement, which may be attributed to their spokesperson, Donna Marsh O’Connor:

September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows strongly supports efforts to bring an Islamic Cultural Center to lower Manhattan, near the Ground Zero site. We believe that welcoming the Center, which is intended to promote interfaith tolerance and respect, is consistent with fundamental American values of freedom and justice for all.

We believe, too, that this building will serve as an emblem for the rest of the world that Americans stand against violence, intolerance and overt acts of racism and that we recognize that the evil acts of a few must never damn the innocent.


Peaceful Tomorrows*:*Index
Once again FACTS trump hatred, intolorance, bigotry and fear!

We all remember that, highcotton. Most of the hijackers were Saudis, and the community center is not at ground zero.

It is a community center.

Sure disagree with it, but revoking constitutional rights is not, and should never be, on the table.

70% of America have no say in what happens in New York. If we allow anti Muslim fervor to trump the constitution, the terrorists win.

Yes, in fairness, they did call in death threats to CB1 members.

I guess you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy too!

And you could've stop at "Obama is Black". It would have saved a whole bunch of typing and time.
