13-story mosque to be built at Ground Zero

[Daisy]

It is now said that the Muslims have a solid lease with Con-ED allowing them (the Muslims) to buy out Con Ed's half of the building.
I say leases can be broken!!!

[miskie]

Can we all agree, at least here, that Americans should not have to be the only Tolerant people in any discussion???????????

How much tolerance would be shown to the 12 person panel if they had said no??

Since there is no way this is going to stop, why doesn't a group of tolerance minded people buy the building next door and install a restaurant/deli that specializes in pork products, and a gay bar on another floor ?

Imagine the smell of fresh bacon permeating the air, while the Village People pump some YMCA into the neighborhood.

The mosque is all about tolerance, right ?

How about tolerating the aroma of bacon and ham entering your lungs every time you get down to pray...  

Somehow, I suspect that 'tolerance' will fly away on the same wings that carried off 'hope & change'.

I like your thinking!!

So do I. Hell, why shouldn't a butcher shop be constructed in the building RIGHT next door? Watch the screaming and howling from the lefties if it indeed does happen.

Sadly, political correctness has us by the balls/ovaries, and this grand idea will never happen. So for the time being, we are stuck with this HORRENDOUS idea. Which may very well end up in another Muslim attack on American soil. There will be no satisfaction in an "I told you so" if that happens...

Thanks Obama & Co.

Yeah, the libs, progressives and that "wonderful" group called CAIR, would do their damnest to stop the building of anything that the Muslims are opposed to.
I say, ship them over to Somalia, or any other terrorists infected Country and let them see how much they love them!

[Revolution]

I'm sure "doing their damnest" would also include violence. You can bet they'd be quicker to it than any of us too! But....but, THEY'D be justified in what they did...

And they preach tolerance, and understanding?! Pfffttt.

Update I found on another forum, but holy shitaki mushrooms could this be big:

Steve Emerson has unearthed 13 hours of audio tape of Imam Rauf. Emerson and his team of investigators has spent the past four weeks going through the newly found material. Rauf is a "radical extremist cleric who cloaks himself in sheep's clothing."

Among the shocking revelations Emerson's team will reveal next week -- they found Rauf:

Defending wahhabism - a puritanical version of Islam that governs Saudi Arabia


Calling for the elimination of Israel by claiming a one-nation state, meaning no more Jewish State.


Defending Bin Laden's violence

Demonstrating that there is a lot more to this man than merely a cleric.

IF this is indeed true, and the 13 hrs reveal Rauf to be who I truly believe he is, this is going to be HUGE. It will also knock the breath out of everyone in support of the Mosque/Community center. Not to mention put them back on their heels. I'm anxious to hear the audio, but at the same time, apprehensive, because I think it may put the nation in a boatload of turmoil. Still, I want the truth to come out.

Wow.

O'Bummer and all his traitorous buds need to be called to the carpet for complete disregard for America and her fallen!

If this sum bitch isn't Muslim, he sure as hell is a sympathizer!

It doesn't take any intelligence at all to figure out this whole thing is about the total lack of respect of the American People and those we lost! Zero knows that, hell I bet my frikkin' cows know that and after raising them for years, I have to admit they are among the least intelligent on this planet!

Bummer has a total disregard for the American way of life as do all those that try and bring Constitutional issues into this argument! A very small minority is getting way more attention than has ever been in the MSM! Not even 20% of the population supports this fiasco yet they get 90% of the camera on every station not controlled by Patriots!

This has to stop! If that means we must come to blows, so be it!

I doubt they can push us much farther! Every time I think they will get wise and understand they are in the lowest minority of American thinkin' values, they pull another finger outa the dike! It's gonna bust and I'm gonna be standin' in the front of the line!

^ And Pelosi has the BALLS to say she's going to investigate those funding opposition to this project!!

Another thought I've kept to myself is kind of scary, but I've thought so ever since before Obamacare got passed.

Honestly...I think if this Muslim shit goes much further, it's going to come to shooting in this country. Now, I won't be the one behind the firearm, but things cannot escalate much further without at least some people just loosing their shit, or totally freaking out. We're coming to a point now, where things are starting to get out of hand, and quite dangerous. I see it coming down the pike.

It both saddens me, and angers me that things are heading in this direction fairly rapidly.

Hannity has been talking for months how this guy is for Sharia Law and refuses to condem Hamas. Hopefully the new info will put a stop to this.

It won't!

I'll lay odds if you did a poll over at the DUmp about who supports America, and who supports the terrorist, Americans would be on the losing end!

They're the only asshats gettin' face time on the alphabet networks!

Yeah this guy is just tryin' to mend the differences between our two cultures! Right! Anyone who believes that is downright lying to themselves!

Wake up America, we are under siege! It's just about time for "A Call to Arms"! It's evident our politicians don't give a SQUAT!

If this thing ever moves to the point of actually breaking ground, I'd sure as hell heat to be one who went against the American people and strapped on my toolbelt! They flew two 747s into our World Trade Center! I'm pretty positive there will be all sorts of missles launched at this apparition of Islamic Dominance over our country, though they will be 1,000 times smaller, just more of 'em! I may have to make a special trip, just to throw a rock or two myself!

Some say that the rights of property owners to build what they want on their property is sacrosanct. But it's not: there is Public Domain that gives the govment the right to take private property and there are all kinds of zoning laws and restrictions. Zoning laws should forbid that mosque to be built at that location.

No joke! Just what part of this "Mosque" is commercial? They're sure as hell standin' in the way of the Greek Orthodox Church and all they want to do is rebuild!!!!!

There's no benefit to allowing the Greek Orthodox Church to rebuild.

It's a small parish....though that might not be the right word. It has a small congregation or whatever the GOC calls it's faithful.

The city wants the land it's on for an underground parking lot to be rebuilt.

There's no political gain. We aren't at odds with Greece.....yet.

What's an almost 100 yr old Greek Orthodox Church, compared to a parking lot, a mosque, keeping the Muslims happy?

And there it is right there. It boils down to political gain -- and those entities who have little to offer (in this case the GOC), they wind up sucking NY hind tit.

The part I'm still trying to figure out is, what is Islam offering? Another opportunity at a 9/11 incident?

I like the bit that says "I learned all I need to learn about Islam when 9/11 happened."

You've got to wonder whether Bloomberg is "on the take" with this mosque?!?!
He's a douche bag anyways!

Corruption in NYC politics? Say it ain't so!

Has anyone noticed a similarity to something we know very well in some of the stories about Gov. Paterson's attempts to get the damned thing moved? The mosque developers (Park51) have "demands"--the building has to be suitable (that's not a big thing), and it has to be south of Houston Street and west of, well, I forgot what street. I can tell you, if you're not familiar with NYC geography, that north of Houston Street is EXACTLY what we've been saying is a decent distance. I'll bet the developer has read that online often and has deliberately made that a demand.

Anyway, if this all sounds familiar to you, you shouldn't be surprised: sounds exactly like Israel's occasional "negotiations" with terrorists, in which I include "The Palestinian Authority." It's their way to intentionally place just such conditions on any "deal" that are precisely the conditions that are deal-breakers for the non-terrorists.

Well, seriously, one thing Bloomberg--a multi-billionaire--doesn't need is money. He's an arrogant, know-nothing liberal--a perfect dhimmi. That's all that's needed for him to help the Moslems conquer.

I know he's filthy rich, but why is the "victory" mosque been given the green light while the Greek Orthodox Church is still wrapped up in red tape?!?! Something's not right here.
You are right, he is arrogant, a liberal and a dickhead!

Bloomberg's mouthing off again. Apparently he thinks the American thing to do is to allow ourselves to be conquered.

It's really astounding to think that anyone so ignorant as Bloomberg managed to amass such wealth. An idiot savante, I suppose, emphasis on idiot.
