Does anyone doubt for a second that, if this had been a Christian church, the DUmmies would be cheering like the French at Lindbergh's landing?

Muslim leaders to abandon plans for Ground Zero community center
   
Source: Ha'aretz

After weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero - the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York - it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site.

The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.

Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days.

1. I certainly hope it isn't true. What a shame it will be if this project is abandoned.

But this won't stop the haters...they'll be looking for another mosque to use as a rallying cry. Without being able to hate someone or something, they'd have no reason to exist.

According to this, some people are more special than others. A church that got crushed is having a hard time getting permission to rebuild....but the Muslims...not so much.

I posted this at Hannity's board, no idea what to believe, Haaretz is a leftist paper, but the Daily News said it can't verify the story, but why would a leftist paper publish this if it wasn't true?

I highly doubt they will scrap the plans on building the mosque there, unfortunately.

The only thing though, this is reflecting negatively on Obama and some Democrats, this could be a move to save face for them.

It definitely will reflect negatively on Lord ZERO and the demosocialists.
Even if the mosque were scrapped, the economy and jobs are still not pointing in the right direction. Either way, I think they are going to feel butt hurt!! :lmao: :cheersmate:

It was intolerance that killed nearly 3000 people on 9/11.................

I went over and started to read the thread.  It immediately turned gay.  Somebody has discovered Greg Gutfeld's plan, and now they're squabbling over who is worse to Teh Gheys, Islam or Christianity.

 Do you think he was murdered for his wallet? I've been threatened, assaulted, harassed, and discriminated against in housing and in the workplace. I have no job because of anti-gay Christians. The difference is that here we have a Constitution that will lock Christians up for murdering gays... if there were no laws protecting us from murder, I have no doubt Christians would get out their pitchforks and start the slaughter, just like their counterparts in relatively lawless parts of the world.

You have no job because nobody wants to spend 8 hours per day with a perpetual victim with a chip on its shoulder.   :sosad:

Gays are still considered to be people. Killing them was already against the law, DUmmie.  Do a little research and see how teh Gheys are treated in Mooslim countries.

I've really got nothing against gays but I do with the gay agenda.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
