Mosque approved to be built 2 blocks from Ground Zero

[allingeneral]

Outraged family members and community groups are accusing a Muslim group of trying to rewrite history with its plans to build a 13-story mosque and cultural center just two blocks from Ground Zero, where Islamic extremists flew two planes into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

"This is a place which is 600 feet from where almost 3,000 people were torn to pieces by Islamic extremists," said Debra Burlingame, whose brother died in the attack on the Pentagon that day.

"I think that it is incredibly insensitive and audacious really for them to build a mosque, not only on that site, but to do it specifically so that they could be in proximity to where that atrocity happened," said Burlingame, who is co-founder of 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America.

The 13-story mosque and cultural center will be built on the site of a four-story building that was a Burlington Coat Factory retail store until 9/11, when part of a plane's landing gear crashed through the roof. The building, which will be razed, currently houses a mosque.

The New York City Mayor's office says "It's private property, and the area is zoned for uses that include this one."
Pamela Gellar, executive director of Stop Islamization of America, blasted the organization behind the plans, Cordoba Initiative, and its leader, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, saying the project is "an insulting flag of conquest of Islamic supremacism."

I've been following this in the news...I would say "simply unbelievable" but its happening right before our very eyes and my guess is they will win...by they I mean the "people" who want to build the mosque...

[GS78]

The Islamic savages always build a mosque at the site(or near) a place of "victory". It makes sense that they would want one near the 9-11 site. This will allow all future muslims to relive their glorious victory over the USA. It is disgusting that these savages have infiltrated our society, but look at the Madrasa's in NOVA. Right outside the District. They are everywhere. They will win, as you say DK. Americans have lost the nerve to protect themselves. Look to the President as an example. He is a spineless coward. He is a shiftless conniving scumbag, and traitor. He and his cohorts are turning the american public on its back in submission to the rest of the World as a tactic to "fundementally change" america from a nation of bravery and resource to a nation of limp-wristed dependants. Evidence this new military honor of being awarded the medal of honor for showing extreme restraint during combat....WTF?

Hell,, Bloomberg the commie bastard is on their side,,Seems like noone has the stones to oppose that POS that can talk enough to overcome his $$$$$$$$ and political influence, The Islamist s pull that crap here because of our laws and the fact that they can get stupid liberals to sympathize with them. One day it's gonna cost this country more than is conceiveable at this time.

the "president" isnt acting from cowardice...he is executing his plan to fundamentally change America...for his side...in their eyes he is a hero...

For he and his administration to successfully execute a take over they must soften us up a little bit more...they certainly dont want to be left with the spoils...

THis is another reason why I say it's time to say the words and take the action to stop this trend of the US spiraling out of existence

[GS78]

soon all of our "rights" will be determined by the International Court. This president will finish what was started in 69 by the ratifying of the Vienna convention on consular relations.(VCCR).

Ihave talked with some people who seem to think that American Law will always be the law of this land. I doubt that. We are moving each day, closer to a "global" governance in this country. Some representatives in the United States Congress, actually believe that a form of Sharia law is compatible with the Constitution. We have Muslims in congress. Muslims by their own strict religous codes can not swear allegience to the US Constitution.

I know this website is not a news site, but the story about obamas advisor and the content is true, and can be found everywhere.....except in the United States Media.

.... oh and obviously we all know that private gun ownership is unacceptable to the International Community....

Koh and Clinton are not to trusted or beleived. They are pursuing the Obama admins-desires and not that of the people. We have all said it and it holds truer every day,,, WAKE UP AMERICA or when you finally do the Republic may be gone. Sold out by a bunch of liberal traitors elected by an uninformed public that beleived their line of BS and felt that entitlements were owed to them....

Well, after reviewing events--private state, and Federal--of the recent few weeks or months (this was at great length and detail just about all last night), I concluded that today was a good time and not too soon to lay out my serious conclusions and (I expect) hopes. This isn't confiding because there must be at least 10 or 12 of you out there: My family and I have agreed and MDs concluded that if I want to live a reasonably good life for the days remaining it would be appropriate for me to join a hospice care program. The basic eligibility criterion is that one cannot be expectefd to live more than six months after entry. Suits me! Except that I'm always curious about how any number of things will turn out. [Will the Nationals make the playofs?]

All recent events point to a sea-state change in the looming armed conflict between the public and the regime. The words, actions, and postures of the American citizens have taken become more and more defiant and challenging. Obama and his junta have become less and less reluctant to display their hostility toward the nation. The fact that Obama is not a citizen of the United States has become so evident that he no longer devotes much effort to the matter. He has corrupted, compromised, and intimidated just about any public official who might offer concrete evidence (not really useful in light of the fact that none is available) that he should even be allowed on our territory.

Such matters as the more and more aggressive moves on both sides in the Arizona affair--aggravated by Eric Holder's admission that he opposess the law but hasn't read it, and the America's very evident willingness to open fire on legal and illegal, resident and non-resident Hispanics--show that the slow match has been lighted and might instantly touched to the fuse.

How will the armed conflict eventuat? What will be the outcome? Guesse, maybe, but IMO very few American organized armed forces will come down on the side of seating a permanent Communist dictatorship on our blessed and beloved continent. Will a Fairfax County Air National Guard unit napalm and strafe Baltimore?

I think the Obama regime will recognize almost as soon as it starts that it's over and that within a week or two at the most our rat regime will debark for Venezuela and try to learn how to operate their brokendown, neglected oil refineries.

Real Americans will re-establish their tainted institutions and begin repairing those that have been tainted.

There is a very simple answer to how this can happen:

[Runcible]

GS78 has it right: this will be a shrine to the 19 martyrs of 9/11, clean and simple. It's outrageous and disgusting.

After the U.S. military conquered Iraq in 2003, our troops were rarely allowed to fly the flag anywhere in Iraq to avoid communicating the obvious fact that Iraq had been conquered. But leftists are helping Islam to fly its flag at the Ground Zero site, because they want us to believe that we are conquered.

[BluemontGlock]

the fact that NY'ers would let that happen, leaves me with "i guess they are not as tough as they talk" feeling...

I just cannot see how the NYFD and all the other services that lost numerous men & women, would let that go through...

and the assinine statement frm the mayors office about the legality is total BS...

-No one was worring about legality when they started phone tapping Americans, doing illegal search and seizures, snatch and grabs FROM OTHER countries, holding poeple indefinite with out charging them with a crime, hell even reading Miranda rights to terrorists...if they are on a battlefield, shoot them, if not, then take them as prisoners of war and follow the geneva convention... again i ask, how can anyone be a terrorist if we are at WAR...
they are not terrrorist, they are combatants...

And you want to put a mosque at ground Zero and cannot come up with something to block it ... I call BS

Was Easy company "terrorist" when they jumped into Normandy??? Were the special forces teams that lead the way into Iraq Terrorists?? What about our boys in Afganistan....? different side of the same coin...

just because they do not haev the ability to invade the USA, doesn;t mean they are any less intent on doing so, ...the term terrorist is a governmental way to create hype to get the American people to watch as they spend TRILLIONS outside the borders of America...when we have starving people and homelessness and a recovering economy, education issues, energy issues, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES (thanks BP!) ...

C'mon, throw a few trillion at energy and Traffic and i betchu wwe could do something... OH and While I am Ranting ( and it feels good! ) how about Gov Bob's latest traffic revelation...."ughm, yea...i know many of you may have voted for me as i haev been vocal about fixing the traffic issues... but you see, we are out of money...GOOD LUCK, I am going back to the Gov's mansion to figure out felon voting rights ( EFFN GDammit! who cares!!!!!))

there i am done... all better now..

I do not think that this video proves that he is a Muslim but I do think that Obama has a high regard for Islam. He is killing the constitution and we are allowing it. A US congressmen sworn in the Koran ------- Shameful!

Muslims in NYC Planning to Build Second, Smaller Mosque Near Ground Zero

[OakRidgeStars]

I hope this doesn't affect my plans to build a Japanese Buddhist temple at Pearl Harbor, across from the USS Arizona memorial.

Or my plans to build a German beer garden at the site of the Auschwitz concentration camps.

That would really suck

[GS78]

I just cannot see how the NYFD and all the other services that lost numerous men & women, would let that go through...

just because they do not haev the ability to invade the USA, doesn;t mean they are any less intent on doing so, ...

who says they don't have the ability?

There is a story out toady that says that the United States Congress has had a report on Iranians, Iraqis, Yemeni's as well as members of Hezzbellah, turkish and egyptian people sneaking across the border(in the Arizona region), and I will bet you a dollar they are not looking for jobs in Pheonix area strip clubs.... No, OUR GOVERNMENT KNOWS!!! that arabs are infiltrating our nation to attack us, and our weakling, pathetic and disgusting half arab president is allowing it to happen. poop, even Obamas illegal alien aunt was awarded asylum .....after she raped our systems for a new hip, and years of free wefare payments. One of Obamas' chumps was actually apologizing to CHINA for our Arizona immigration laws.......what a bunch of traitors we have in DC....they should all be hung by the neck until dead.

[GS78]

...and now we have a muslim"Miss America" how fu*c*king NICE. From the state of Michigan, by the way that is also where we got our first Muslim congressman...... It wouldn't be so bad, (she is a pretty girl) but she also tripped on her gown,(should have been points demeritted) but the white girl was asked about illegal immigration, and the judges didn't like her answer.... This country had better grow some big balls quick or we will be toast.
