"Obama backs mosque near ground zero
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed allowing a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less."

Barbarian.....I agree with you. Violence is not the answer to this problem but it may be a solution. People can only take so much before they do something. Guess some people (i.e Obama) did not learn the lessons of 1776.
Obama said Americans must separate Islamic terrorists from the overwhelming majority of peace-loving Muslims. "Our enemies respect no freedom of religion. Al Qaeda's cause is not Islam ---- it is a gross distortion of Islam, " he said. "These are not religious leaders ----- these are terrorists who murder innocent men, women, and children. In fact, al Qaeda has killed more Muslims than people of any other religion."
Ya gotta wonder about this man, Obama. His head is screwed on backwards and his heart is where his brain should be and his head is up his ass. Listen closely............listen........listen and tell men when you hear the POP! as his head comes out his ass.
Mosque near Ground Zero - Newt Gingrich
July 21, 2010 6pm
There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for
double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over.
The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example, most of them dont understand that Cordoba House is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba, Spain the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the worlds third-largest mosque complex.
Today, some of the Mosques backers insist this term is being used to "symbolize interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way.
Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more than 100 mosques already exist in New York City. Meanwhile, there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia. In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca. And they lecture us about tolerance.
If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious toleration, they would be imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to immediately open up Mecca to all and immediately announce their intention to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead such a campaign.
We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years. Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million megamosque will be built within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating surprise attack in American history.
Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba House refuse to reveal all their funding sources. America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.
No mosque. No self deception. No surrender.
The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.
If, after reading this, you agree with it, please pass it on to others. This is the most clearly stated, sensible, and historically accurate statement that Ive read on this issue (and Ive read a lot
of them). Why cant we have a President as intelligent, educated, and patriotic as this former Speaker of the House?
Not every Muslim is a bad person, but under present circumstances, Muslims need to be scrutinized for national safety. This relates to the building of this Muslim 'center' that near Ground Zero in that ALL 'large scale' activity of Muslims (all of them), in the US needs to be scrutinized because can't tell a BAD Muslim from a GOOD one by looking. Sorry GOOD MUSLIMS, that's the way it works.
Second to that, .. it is NOT a 'moral' question .. it is a 'position' .. RIGHT OR WRONG, that a MAJORITY of US citizens do not want the CENTER built there. WHY they don't is NOT IMPORTANT. It is no different from a MAJORITY of voters to NOT WANT a freeway going through their town. They don't WANT it for any NUMBER OF REASONS, .. not the POINT 'why'. The POINT is, they DON'T WANT IT, and in the US, the MAJORITY (usually) over rules the MINORITY .. for ONE reason .. there are more PEOPLE in the majority.
I have NO INTEREST in telling ANYONE 'why' I do not want the center built there .. don't have to, don't need to. ALL I need to do is say 'yes' or 'no', and I am saying NO.
Sorry, 'good Muslims', but that is what the BAD MUSLIMS have done to you .. (one of the things). We ALL 'pay a price' for what the 'BAD MUSLIMS' have done and WANT to do ... ALL OF US.
after that horrible tragedy, no red blooded American wants to see a giant mosque built there. it would be flat out WRONG.
they can put their mosque anywhere BUT there.
and I agree, none of them can prove where the source of the money is coming form, it's all really shady.
Some Americans I know would quote the "Old West" saying, that "The ONLY GOOD muslim, is a..."
