Looks like someone is trying to change the subject.

Do you believe that he should be allowed to build a building on a site he owes 1/4 million dollars in taxes on? I don't care if he is Muslim or what that should not be allowed. That would make it tough on the mayor, though, to have to enforce the law on a Muslim.

you mean like these little things the left seems to be so pre-occupied with
Sarah Palin Owes Back Taxes
Joe the Plumber need to worry about paying back the taxes he owes the IRS...
Michele Bachmann hasn't paid her 2009 property taxes!! (which ended up being a few days late)

You really do believe that he shouldn't have to pay his property taxes because he is a Muslim. I sure hope not.

I think it has a lot more to do with 9/11 than the whole Muslim culture. THis building was damaged by the landing gear of a plane, and is too close to Ground Zero for such a grandiose plan. Other mosques have been inthe area for decadeswithout problems. Heck, they are even currently using this building as a small Mosque without problems.

IMO its the scale of the planned Mosque added together to the location that is problematic to people.

Well at least three separate libs posted all those things. I thought they might all come from Upton.

That's a nonsensical comparison. I think you're confused about the meaning of the term, "witch hunt".

Then the people of New York need to change the zoning laws to outlaw all religious buildings within a certain distance of Ground Zero. If they try to only outlaw Muslim centers, it will be struck down as a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
