This is just a sick publicity stunt. I respect their right to freely practicee their religon, but do the muslims really have to do it right there? I mean, they really can't find another plaxe to build a mosque in their region?
Yes they really do, because their purpose is to build a monument to their victory in 2001.
I'm a NYer, and I can tell you there's plenty of outrage here, although I do apologize on behalf of our sorry-ass liberal elitist rulers. We're under the thumb of one of the most undemocratic states and cities in the country. Our will be damned (sound familiar?).
We'll do everything we can to stop this revolting, sickening acquiescense to Moslem infiltration and triumphalism, including civil disobedience, eg, physically sitting in and blocking construction should it ever get started. And I'll tell you this much: they're going to have a helluva time finding a construction company whose workers will agree to work on this abomination.
There's another protest on Sept 12th. About 8,000 (myself included) attended the first protest and that was before it had shown up on talk radio's radar, Fox News, and before national figures like Sarah Palin and Newt spoke up on the matter. I'm expecting a huge turnout Sunday the 12th--and if Governor Palin shows up, you KNOW it'll be a monster turnout. Last time people came from far and wide, from all over the country. This time it'll probably be huge.
