Non, far left liberals, notice something here. Is it me, or is this one of the few times youve noticed in your life, the sheer diligence of the left defending a religion? I dont think ever before have I seen the Left actually care that much to defend a religions "right" to do something in the manner they are defending the Muslim 9/11 mosque.

Not that it means anything, I just find it interesting is all. Carry on

I think you meant billion but at any rate with 23 mosques in NYC it seems that the number of them there could use those of the number.

Have you ever seen any of the demonstrations carried on by Muslims in the UK?s Is there a chance that there will get to be enough of them of the radical bent to influence any of our moderates to take part in a demonstration like one of those here? If there is maybe this is the time to push them just a little to see if they will respond that way instead of sitting on our haunches and being pushed around.

To me he prbably would have approved the japnese actaully putting up a temple for the pilots that died in the pearl harbor attack at Peral harbor. Not even the japanese would think of do such a thing.

Yeah and many live here just waiting to try to take us over, but some sheeple say oh yeah let them build a mosque near ground zero near a battle they won, what is wrong with that? I cant believe Obama would be for this one, what an insult to the American people. They are here and would love to conquer us.

There are 1.3 billion followers of the Islamic Religion

A poll shows that only 7% ascribe to a RAdical form of Islam (and Radical Islam takes many shapes and forms)

Sorry you lost your bet

Have you seen the demonstrations by the Westboro Baptist Church Members?

Have you see the demonstrations by anti-abortion activists?

Violence isn't defined by one's religion...

Or do you base your church on who the people are there? The pastor/priest? The services offered? all of the above?

What if the Muslims don't like the other gathering/mosques and want someplace new to go to?

Freedom to practice your religion at whatever place you want... WOW WHAT A FREAKING concept?
^^^ You try to re-write the First Amendment...FAIL.

Actually the First Amendment states:

Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am1

Congress is not proposing a law prohibiting the free exercise of religion; therefore this is not a matter of the First Amendment.


There is nothing that addresses zoning or building locations in the First Amendment. Nothing. There are hundreds of Mosques in NYC and no one is stopping the free practice of religion there.


Now, again: Why is THIS location so important for THIS Imam? Why is respect a one way street and why does that street not originate with THIS imam about THIS location?


What is the source of the funding for THIS Ground Zero Mosque and why have Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg refused to investigate to see if any of it comes from organizations with ties to terrorism?
