Court's Decision Opens Doors To Ground Zero Mosque

August 9, 2010 by  

Court’s decision opens doors to Ground Zero mosque A ruling by New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission denied landmark status for a downtown building, opening the way for its demolition and the construction of a controversial Islamic center near the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The building at Park Place, as well as an adjacent structure, are owned by a real estate developer who intends to erect the mosque. However, the decision is seen as a serious blow to opponents of the project, including many family members of 9/11 victims and politicians such as Sarah Palin, who have said that a mosque near Ground Zero would be an insult.

For example, Anti-Defamation League issued a statement saying that “building an Islamic Center in the shadow of the World Trade Center will cause some victims more pain—unnecessarily—and that is not right.”

However, The New York Civil Liberties Union and the American Civil Liberties Union praised the decision, saying that it followed the principles of religious freedom and tolerance.

“For hundreds of years, our pluralism and tolerance have sustained and strengthened our nation,” the organizations stated, adding that “[9/11 terrorists] would want nothing more than for our nation to turn its back on the very ideals that make this country so great.”

The project has also been supported by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.ADNFCR-1961-ID-19919699-ADNFCR

    Exactly Joyce. But you have to understand, sadly, that these people who think we should be door mats for Moslems and their hidden agenda, still believe that if we all but laid down enough, we would all live happily ever after in a Utopia here on earth.

    The 911 attack was against Americans, who do you think is allowing this Mosque to be built? Who is draining our country of its wealth? Who is ashamed of this country, and defiles our constitution?

    • HFlashman

      Answering your last two questions…easy. Republicans and the Far Right Neo-Cons (including Tea Party members)

      • slickporsche

        You need to find another country to live in. You are in grave danger if you stay here. Your torch will be extinguished.

      • s c

        Slick, there’s an easier way. Every progressive could PROVE their loyalty and dedication if they’d join the military and go to Afghanistan. Then, we’d know they “care,” and they’d know that they were helping Herr Obummer justify our long-term, continued presence there.
        It’s even possible that their children will get a chance to volunteer and keep Herr Obummer’s legacy intact. If Herr Flash doesn’t know where the nearest enlistment center is, he can do a quick Google search. It makes me proud to know that America’s progressives will march on down and enlist and “sacrifice” for The Anointed One.

      • 45caliber

        That will never happen. Libs are convinced that anyone who would join the military are repressed murderers who are joining simply so they can kill someone legally. That is why they are so afraid of the vets who have already served. Further, they are upset because most soldiers come back as conservatives so they believe the military brainwashes the soldiers. They seem to forget that the soldiers have seen how people in other countries live and don’t want it here under the same type of government. Further, liberals are afraid of guns. They are convinced that guns will make a person insane enough to murder so you’ll never see a true lib owning one.

      • grandpa47

        Hey Flashman pull your head out smell the fresh air,see the light and you will see how wrong you are–it’s the opposite– the Democratic Liberals you idiot!!!!!!!!!!

      • Hank O

        You just declared who you are with your unfortunate distortion and that line of thinking. You can be helped if you open your mind to the reality of current events as well as history.
        Cheers!

      ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: OBAMA,DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS, PROGRESSIVES,ISLAM

      • Pathfinder

        slickporsche : I agree. BUT, let us not forget those miserable RINOs as well. (Like the ones who helped to confirm Kagan) I am tired of seeing conservatives betrayed by RINOs. That is why I now vote libertarian. (And am also working to change the Libertarian party’s position on open borders).

    GOD IS STILL IN CHARGE!

      And HE love every one of us! We are all one!

      • Joyce from Loris

        I thought you said there was no “HE”. Are you trying to play both sides of the fence?

      • Jana

        She also says a little further down that she gave up Christianity. Hmm that sounds like she may never have actually experienced true Christianity. You know them by their fruits.

      • Karolyn

        And my fruits are good. There are many who love me; and i spread love and cheer wherever I go, helping who I can along the way. “True” Christianity brought me no peace. I should have used the term “higher power” rather than God, but I was speaking in your vernacular.

      • Jana

        Yes Karolyn and when you look in the mirror you sing:

        “Oh its hard to be humble when your perfect in every way”

        A free thinker is another word for “flake” So you are coming across as a flakee.

      AMEN! GOD IS IN CHARGE! Remember that. No matter what happens out there, He is still in charge. The way things are going, it looks like we will all see soon that He was in charge all along.

  • Joyce from Loris

    Regardless of Obama’s statement that we are NOT a Christian nation, he DOES NOT SPEAK for me and the other 80% of the nation who ARE Christians. We ARE a Christian nation, just as the Muslim nations in the middle east are Muslims. So be it. That’s the way it is. According to the Muslim’ Koran, infidels are to be killed. Well, according to the Bible, we are to pray for those who do not accept Jesus Christ as the son of God. Christians do that, but that does not mean that we are suppose to lay down as idiots and allow them to kill us. We aren’t suppose to just give in to them for political correctness sake. We, too, are suppose to fight evil. I am fighting it.

    • 45caliber

      But the progressives (liberals calling themselves another name to fool the fools) are convinced that everything will be goodness and light if you just let the other people have and do what they want! Besides, they don’t believe there is a God. There is only man – and they are obviously the best men, fit to rule the rest of us. Their main frustration is that we won’t agknowledge it.

  • Sherry Hauner

    If all these flower loving love everybody groups had their way, there would be a mosque on every street corner. Well, we’re not too far from it in places already. Enough has been learned to know that if a sweet person who practices Islam, were told to cut your throat for Allah, there are not too many who would choose to die themselves before they would do just that. They know the consequences of their religion and what it can lead to. So, if they really truly are a peace loving person at heart, they will not choose to stay with that religion, nor would anyone with any religion nowadays, especially here in America, that believes it is okay to kill anyone they cannot convert.

  • BABUSHSKA

    Have you liberals all lost your collective minds? This is an abomination! (not to be confused by Obamanation…althought still valid.) You mistakenly preach tolerance…another buzz word along with racist thrown in the faces of conservatives to marginalize us. The issue is not “tolerance”, but fear of the Muslim community! Is it possible that Bloomberg and the commissioners approved the building of the mosque so as not to offend and possibly trigger some kind of muslim counter-attack on NY? We are slaves to our fear and so-called tolerance….and that tolerance will destroy our freedoms. Wait and see.

    • slickporsche

      WE=LIBERAL, AND THE PROBLEM.

    • Karolyn

      Boy, this all sounds like during WWII when the poor Japanese-Americans were put in camps and lost everything. Is that what you want?

      • Pathfinder

        Yes, that is what I want!!! I also want America to be victorius as we were in August 1945 AD.

      • Karolyn

        There is no going back. it doesn’t work. Do you seriously believe we can go back to a time like that? Never happen. Not unless we cut the population in half. Maybe you’re proposing we do that?

      • Pathfinder

        I am not even proposing “going back”. Unless you think that winning the stanley cup two years in a row is “going back”. I am merely saying that just a fanatical kamikazis were able to be defeated and fanatical SS troops stopped; so, also, can these modern day fanatics be defeated NOW, in the present. All that is lacking is the drive and determination to do so.

      • http://goggle jimradford

        yea pathfinder,that would be nice to have again the fealing of getting something done and acclompished again.

      • Karolyn

        Ya can’t kill ‘em all. There’s always another one coming up. It’s not like it was in the “good old days.” It’s just not that simple.

      • 45caliber

        Karolyn:
        When you weep over those poor Japanese during WWII, remember that many of them were here to sabotage and spy on the US. Some were involuntary, true, being forced to help or their families in Japan would suffer. But many believed the Japanese Imperial crap and were willing to cause problems here. There were a LOT of innocent Japanese locked up, true again, but it was faster than it would have been to weed out the bad ones. And thanks to the loss of our main fleet in the Pacific, we were in too poor a condition to allow those sabotours to do their thing.

      • 45caliber

        Karolyn:
        Besides, what is the difference between what happened to the Japanese during WWII and what our government seems to want to do to many of our citizens today with the camps they have built?? Yet many libs are convinced we need to do that here now.

      • Karolyn

        What camps are you talking about? Camps for the poor after you conservatives “get rid” of help for those in distress?

      • William Barry

        Read my lips, Karolyn:

        EVIL MUST BE OPPOSED!!!

    • http://gunner689 gunner689

      The people of this nation should make Bloomberg and all others who had a hand in building this mosque, a living hell. spread there names and address on the internet.

    • 45caliber

      One of the prominent libs, Oliver Stone, once said that it was better to live as a slave than it was to be forced to fight to defend our country. I think most of them believe that.

  • http://YAHOO ED FOUTS

    I DON,T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FREEDOM OF RELIGION HERE THATS BS,
    ITS FREEDOM FROM THIS RELIGIOUS CULT CRAP OF MUSLIM KILLING PEOPLE FOR ANY THING AND EVERYTHING,IF THEY BUILD IT I HOPE IT GET BLOWN UP LIKE THE BAST…D,S DID TO OUR COUNTRY ON 9/11
    AMERICAN PEOPLE BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TO LATE
    IMPEACH THE MUSLIM PRESIDENT OBAMA AND HIS RADICALS

  • Sherry Hauner

    It is not a Peace Mosque! What don’t some of you get?? They are built to show defeat and victory over the enemy, not friendship! And apparently you have not done enough research to understand that it is in their so called religion to of course blatantly look anyone in the face and lie about their real agenda, if it furthers their goal! Perfectly acceptable, and expected to be done where it is beneficial to their so called religion! If none of you who support Islam in America has been noticing, it is freedom of speech for just about anyone but Christians. God help the people who died in 911 and their families and friends who were Christian, from people who wish the enemy more control in our country, and to bash it in our faces and their memory.

    • slickporsche

      Well Sherry if we have a real blood and guts revolution, that will kill a good number of them, and the rest will be busy running for another country

    • Christin

      God says “vengence is mine saith the lord, I will reap coals upon the heads of thine enemies.”
      So pray.. cry out to the Lord for the injustices of these people against us.

      Still… blowing up the new -empty- mosque (if they force the building of it there) would be an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth… sounds like poetic justice to me… their building for ours.

  • Ted

    It is pretty obvious that money grubbers like the developer either is an American or only cares about money. The people of this nation, Americans, need to find the moxie we once had and come together again to take our country back!

    • Ted

      We need to do this in November! Not by going around starting fights or wars, but getting rid of the bleeding heart liberals and getting some Americans that believe in taking care of Americans in representative and senate to lead the way.

    • slickporsche

      HoooRah! Revolution!

      • 45caliber

        While I feel that most of the military would sit out any revolution here designed to simply change our government, do you honestly expect the ones in Washington to hesitate for an instant before pushing a button that would vaporize any group of armed men who were moving on Washington? I don’t! Further, I think that is one reason they constantly harp on EMP waves from ariel nukes despite basically giving the enemy a hint on what to do to screw us up. They will detonate such at nuke at an altitude that would put a hundred miles or more circle out of commission. Then they will send in news teams to show the country the poor starving people who are being punished by the horrible men who tried to get a new government – and incidently warning the country that this could happen to you if you don’t immediately report anyone wanting to harm a Washington politician.

  • Joyce from Loris

    American is not the only place that has witnessed a FLOOD of Muslims. Switzerland has the same problems that we have, their citizens VOTED to not allow anymore mosque to be built in their country. The Muslims were outraged, as were the Switzerland GOVERNMENT, but the people SPOKE. Muslims are spreading all across the world, taking up residences. They are populating 4 to 1 over all other nationalities. They are not leaving their home land to escape religious limitations. So, why are they spreading all over the world? To spread their religion. To take over the world, it is part of their “100 year plan”.

    • nellie

      I believe during Desert Storm, our troops were not allowed bibles. I think some of the men were vulnerable to the teachings of Islam and were brainwashed, supposedly Timothy McVeigh exposed during his tour.

      • Karolyn

        You “believe” and you “think”? Well, is it true or not?

      • independant thinker

        “Actually, I believe there are churches in Saudi Arabia.”

        Back atcha.

    • slickporsche

      I am truly glad someone really understands what is going on.

    • Bob

      It is part of the new world order. They cannot take over the world until they destroy it. By letting Muslims in these countries they get the citizens to fight among themselves. While all you people are fighting and calling each other names they plan a new way to keep people from waking up. None of you want a Mosque built near Ground Zero. How many of you have written letters or called your representatives. Probably none.

    • http://gunner689 gunner689

      Like the plumber said; “Shit comes in, shit goes out.” It’s time for them to leave. Shut down all immigration from 3rd World countries. We don’t need them and we don’t want them.

      • 45caliber

        I agree. But it certainly reminds me of the premise behind the movie, “The Second Civil War.”

  • Karolyn

    This is NOT Saudi Arabia!!! We’re supposed to be better than them. Actually, I believe there are churches in Saudi Arabia.

    • Joyce from Loris

      It is against their laws for ANY CHURCH other than a mosque to be built in their country. You can look it up yourself. My son did missionary work in India, where he had to hid his Bible because it is against the law to have one. He was not allowed a visa to India, NOR TO SAUDI ARABIA, on a missionary visit. He had to get his visa to India as a tourist. But it is a law, no churches of other religions.

      • HFlashman

        I’ve spent a lot of time in India…there is no such law there. I’m not saying you lied …. I’m saying you made it up.

      • Joyce from Loris

        I hope you do not misunderstand me, so I will be as blunt as I possibly can. I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK. I have not made up ANYTHING. I don’t have to, the FACTS ARE THE FACTS.

      • Dave

        Most people in India are Hindu. Why would they only allow Mosques?

    • Fighter Pilot

      No, there is NO Churches there. Not one, you cannot be caught with a BIBLE off base. To do so will be disrespectful.

  • leroy wilson

    as long as we can build a church in like saudia arabia then we can give permission as to myidea the quicker we wake up the better

  • Hank O

    Good Grief… The Blind Ignorence doesn’t suprise me. That is how we got ourselves on the road to the destruction of Our American Freedoms and way of Life with Ali Obama and his 40 Czars applauding as they move us to a Third World Dictatorship.
    Now with that, those involved in the Islam Mosque have but ONE and ONLY ONE intention and that is the building would be symbol of their accomplishment defeating American Democracy.
    The B… S… must stop NOW. SHUT IT DOWN NOW AND BE DONE WITH IT!!!
    Let the Blind and Ignorent see and understand.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HELP THOSE THAT DO NOT UNDERSTAND!

    • Karolyn

      No – I pray for YOU who do not understand.

      • slickporsche

        It might be very important if you read the following and it is all fact. I have been paying attention for many years and this is exactly how it happens. Now, it finally happening in America. Way too many stupid as cement posts, liberals. If this mosque is actually built it will be the start of the greatest movement in Americas history. The Muslim take over of the United States of America.

        Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.
        Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

        Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’
        When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
        As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

        United States — Muslim 1.0%
        Australia — Muslim 1.5%
        Canada — Muslim 1.9%
        China — Muslim 1%-2%
        Italy — Muslim 1.5%
        Norway — Muslim 1.8%

        At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

        Denmark — Muslim 2%
        Germany — Muslim 3.7%
        United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
        Spain — Muslim 4%
        Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

        From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
        They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).

        France — Muslim 8%
        Philippines — Muslim 5%
        Sweden — Muslim 5%
        Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
        The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
        Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

        At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
        When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).

        Guyana — Muslim 10%
        India — Muslim 13.4%
        Israel — Muslim 16%
        Kenya — Muslim 10%
        Russia — Muslim 10-15%

        After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
        Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

        At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

        Bosnia — Muslim 40%
        Chad — Muslim 53.1%
        Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

        From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

        Albania — Muslim 70%
        Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
        Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
        Sudan — Muslim 70%

        After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

        Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
        Egypt — Muslim 90%
        Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
        Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
        Iran — Muslim 98%
        Iraq — Muslim 97%
        Jordan — Muslim 92%
        Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
        Pakistan — Muslim 97%
        Palestine — Muslim 99%
        Syria — Muslim 90%
        Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
        Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
        United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

        100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s (supposed) to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: we know however that this isnt true is it…?

        Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
        Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
        Somalia — Muslim 100%
        Yemen — Muslim 99.9%

        Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons…and they are coming to a neighborhood near you…so keep thinking they are not going to harm you and they “accept” you

      • Karolyn

        It’s not Muslims in general; it’s the leaders, just like in this country.

      • Deborah

        I hope you don’t live close to me!

      • JC

        I’ve seen that report / comparison before. It seems to be right on the money.

      • 45caliber

        I agree about them killing each other. One of their biggest forms of entertainment is fueds that have gone on for a thousand years. Or the Sunni/Shite debacle. I don’t remember which group is which but one group wanted to have Mohammed’s nephew as his heir (even though he was a bad man) and the other side wanted the most holy man to be Mohammed’s heir. Mohammend’s nephew lost and went to Turkey where he established the assassins as a cult and created Paradise to keep them in line. Later his line was wiped out by the Mongols – but the Arabs keep fighting over this!

      • William Barry

        There is also another factor to consider.

        We consider Ground Zero to be sacred ground, correct?

        Well, so do the Muslims who want to build this mosque. In their eyes, Ground Zero is sacred… because it has been consecrated by the blood of the 19 SHAHIDI (Muslim martyrs) led by Muhammad Atta.

        That’s right. The terrorists and mass murderers who commandeered jet airliners and turned them into manned missiles.

        Now the imam and his followers will never rest until Ground Zero and the rest of Manhattan Island are in their clutches. Their religious doctrine compels them to this action. They must obey or be condemned as apostates (read:HERETICS) by their own kind. And the consequences of that condemnation are too awful to even think about…

        The Islamists wrote the book on intimidation and keeping their own in line centuries before “Mein Kampf” and Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book came along…

      • Hank O

        Dear Karolyn… It is easy to understand your being born and raised a bleeding heart liberal and that agenda.
        However Little Lady I must say that being born during the Depression (1931 for those that do not know)and on December 8, 1941 the day after we were attacked at Pearl, My Uncle and His Army Buddy were at our house on leave, when they received the Telegram to report back to their Base within 24 hours. Further I served in The Marines proudly to defend your right to speak your mind, with the hope that before you leave us you will understand and mend your agenda accordingly.

      • Karolyn

        I proudly stand behind the fact that I have nothing to mend.

      • Jana

        Karolyn,

        The following is a good video on taqiyya. It’s a concept about which all of us should become well-versed because the skillful use of taqiyya is one of the primary reasons so many non-Muslims are not only ignorant about Islam, but self-righteously so.

      • Shasta

        your mind would definately be a good place to start Karolyn, I vote you the most ignorant person posting on this site, God Help you, hope you are never faced with a knife around your neck!

      • Fighter Pilot

        Karolyn you don’t pray to God, remember GOD is in masculine,not in the femmine

      • Karolyn

        Your statement makes no sense. “God” is only referred to as “he” because there is no special word to use for a “heavenly” being. It’s just a limitation in our language.

      • http://gunner689 gunner689

        Understand what; that you wallow in liberal white guilt? Tell it to the families of the nine aid workers recently murdered by followers of your religion of peace.

      • Karolyn

        Everybody’s gotta go sometime. Besides, if you’re Christian, you believe they went to heaven; so they’ve been rewarded. If you believe as I do, then they will be back if they want to.They gave their lives for what they believed in – helping others.

  • Tony in MO

    Why does anyone think the Imam has named the proposed mosque “The Cordoba House”? It’s to emulate the original “Cordoba House” that Muslims built in Spain (on top of a destroyed Christian monastery) to celebrate their victory over the Christian infidels. The Muslims are merely repeating history and Bloomberg and the Landmark Preservation Committee are too stupid to understand it. It’s also not surprising that the ACLU has stepped in with their two cents. If it has anything to do with Christianity, the ACLU is right there to quash it, as they’re all in favor of any religion BUT Christianity.

    • Pathfinder

      Tony : I am beginning to think that the initials ACLU stand for Anti Christion Lunatics Umion.

  • Delores McElhaney

    Interesting, isn’t it? The ACLU praises the decision, but they are trying to take all traces of Christianity and mention of God out of our own religious heritage and culture.

    • William Barry

      Do you think the ACLU cares a damn?

      We “killed” the Soviet Union, which was their secret champion, and broke up the Warsaw Pact nation bloc, and they will never forgive us for that.

      In fact, every action they’ve taken since 1989 has been to inflict as much damage upon American culture as they can before they die off. In this regard, they’re like die-hard commies who go down fighting, singing “Long Live the Revolutionary Motherland” as they are cut down one by one.

      The ACLU’s motto should be “Revenge is the best revenge.”

    • Dave

      The ACLU is not trying to take Christianity out of our culture. Just out of our Government.

  • Peter

    There’s a saying that goes, “If you tolerate this, your children will be next.” Never a truer word was spoken.

  • Dan Higginbothan

    Touche’ to another Obama forced issue. The Damn real estate developer is probably aither muslin or a muslim sympathizer. Once again the ACLU which is a communistic based orginazation has raised it’s ugly controlling head. Search and see who are members of this anti-American group, you might be very surprised. This group are the ones who force no prayer in schools or government buildings, the removal of al 10 Commandments from government buildings, the group that fought to allow a muslim mosque where their comrades killed thousands of Americans while fighting to force NYC to stop a synagogue from being “re-built” after muslim’s distroyed it in the 9/11 attack. WTF are we as Americans thinking. Russia was right. We are about to be taken over with out a shot being fires but not by them as they thought but my the Islamic relegion. It amazes me how the damn ACLU wants to deny Judea/christainity belifs yet fight with all there resourses to defend another sect!!!!!! Who’s liberty are they protecting. Oh and don’t forget their involvement in the Arizona immigration issue.

  • RONIFER

    And “Religious Tolerance and Freedom” are embraced by Muslims ? YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING – IF YOU MISTAKENLY THINK SO ! What do you think, “KILL ALL INFIDELS” mean ? This “religion” does not, NOT preach LOVE and RESPECT for other faiths ! Don’t you read what Muslims have written about “Ground Zero” ? IF WE ALLOW THE ERACTION OF A MOSQUE IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO WHERE MUSLIMS SLAUGHTERED THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE – WE WILL BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD – for our ridiculous and pathetic naivety !

    • hflashman

      And your post shows tolerance???? Jeesh …

      • 45caliber

        Who said we were supposed to kneel and hold out our necks for their swords? Tolerance is supposed to go both ways. If it won’t, then it is stupid to become slaves – or worse.

        What would you do if someone took a swing at you? If you are a true Christian and liberal (I’m not sure there is such a person) who believes in tolerance you would simply smile and appologize to him for hurting his fist. And you would continue doing that until he beat you to death.

    • http://Yahoo Dorris

      I think much to many Americans regret ,obama’s doing a good job of that also, also the people that voted for him and his lies.
      But remember we can get rid of trash. We have done it before And by the grace of “GOD” we will do it again.
      Never FEAR this is GODS country and he will protect it with our help.

        Actually, it’s God’s WORLD. And do you think “He” likes all this? I’m speaking in your vernacular, because I believe we are all a part of God, and there is no “He.”

      • Fighter Pilot

        Well you just showed who you are!!

      • Pathfinder

        Well, we do agree on one thing. This world does, indeed, belong to God. Though I think you will reject my contention that God, himself, HATES the religion of Islam. In keeping with His practice of hating the sin and NOT the sinner, I am sure that he still loves the moslems in spite of their false and lying religion. Hence if they repent their error and turn to HIm; He will forgive them. Unfortunately, their fellow Moslems will behead them for such conversion. (The inquisition was even worse with its burning of heretics. Thank God the Roman Catholics gave that up a long time ago.)

        Here is a point to ponder since this discussion involves BOTH politics and religion. If God has only love (No hate at all); then how is it possible for there to be WAR in heaven between, God and his loyal angels, against Satan and his rebellious followers ??

      • Jana

    • Karolyn

      Like we should really care what anyone else thinks. Personally, I’d rather look to the opinions of enlightened nations like Sweden.

      • Pathfinder

        Rather than trying to order you to leave the country, as some have done, let me instead ask this question. If you think that Sweden is so enlightened; then why haven’t you moved there ? Would you not be happier to live among people whom you view as enlightened than among ignorant savages like myself??

      • Karolyn

        Well, for right now I’m stuck with the savages. I’m happy I have gas money to go to school.

      • 45caliber

        Karolyn:
        You are aware perhaps that Sweden has taken a boy from his parents because they weren’t teaching him that the government was always right? Do you want that for your own children?

      • Karolyn

        Never heard of it. Never had kids either. Didn’t want to bring more people into the world. Too bad more people weren’t like me, then the USA wouldn’t be so overpopulated, and we wouldn’t have as many problems.

      You’re all using the term “Muslim” too loosely. There are certain “Christian” sects that are way out there and advocate violence, hate and prejudice. Would you use the term “Christian” so loosely? They are PEOPLE! Just like you and me. There are good and bad, right and wrong. What is wrong with you?

      • slickporsche

        Well for one Karolyn I HATE MUSLIMs, AND ISLAM for good reason in my book.

      • Karolyn

        Right! Just because they were born a certain way. You probably think all Jews are crooks too; and all blacks are criminals and welfare recipients.

      • JC

        No, actually it’s because they advocate OUR DEATH. Wake up liberal moron.

      • 45caliber

        Sorry, girl, but they weren’t “born a certain way.” They were taught Islam by their parents and those around them. BIG difference.

      • Dave

        Poor Karolyn – it’s tough arguing with people who don’t use logic.

      • alpha-lemming

        I really wish you were right but…..
        In numbers appraoching 50%… Muslims believe that “suicide bombing is totally justified or situations CAN exist where it is condoned”. Sure doesn’t sound like a religion of peace to me but I sometimes have trouble grasping nuances. Christians????? The “Inquisition” hasn’t been around for centuries and and the “whack-job” Planned Parenthood bombers are what???? about .005% of the population??? Again… those darned subtleties…. maybe Christians are a greater threat. Sure glad you’re here to keep me focused.

      • Fighter Pilot

        Karolyn, Christians DO NOT DO THAT. If they are Christians they do not take part in such actions. Anyone can claim to be Christian. But, that doesn’t mean they are.

      • Pathfinder

        Karolyn : Have you ever heard the sentance, “Silence gives assent.” ?
        Where are the protests from this vast majority of “good moslems” against their violent and extreame breathren ? It is my contention that their silence in failing to condemn the action of “extreamist” moslems give tacit approval to the acts of violence. Hence, in my opinion, all Islam is extreamist and needs to be removed from the face of the earth.

      • 45caliber

        Karolyn:
        You say there are Christian sects that hate and want to murder. Name one. I’ve never heard of any since Spain had the Inquisition. And it is long gone. Besides, most of what they were doing was designed to transfer as much wealth as possible to their part of the church.

      • Dave

        There was recently someone who killed an abortion doctor in the name of Christ.

      • Jana

        There are many people who do things in teh name of religion but that does not make them Christians. Remember, we know them by their fruits is what the Bible says. A murderer is not bearing good fruit. Got it?

      • http://gunner689 gunner689

        Dave: so what, it may be illegal but I believe that every doctor who practices abortion on a regular basis should have a bounty on his head. Would the Jew who killed his concentration guard be a murderer? The guard was acting within the law also. Anyone who understands the system will tell you that Law and Justice are two totally diffrent animals.

        “They are PEOPLE?”

        So were three of my cousins who lost their lives on that dreadful day.

        On that day, I made a promise: Any effort by the U.S. Government to rain misery and suffering on the all-too-deserving heads of these so-called “people” would have my unquestioning support. Also, I promised that I would see a million Islamist fanatics dead and in their graves for each one of my murdered cousins before my mind and heart would ever change about making war on them.

        We’re coming up on the ninth anniversary, we have yet to see the first hundred thousand of these villains sent to Gehenna, and my mind and heart have not changed.

      Thanks in advance.

    • Al in Exile

      “This mosque is just a way of showing that we show no ill will against Muslims.” Debra, speak for yourself. I’m not sure that I have ill will toward Muslims, but I sure as H*ll I’m suspicious of them, since they are permitted by their laws to be hypocritical. No, I DO NOT trust many of them.
      “I do believe they did the correct thing in allowing this to be built.” Being too nice can get you killed; you need to read some of these posts and check out what Czanka says @ 12:21 too, especially the part about the birth-rate, I read about this just recently and was shocked. The implications are truly fearsome.
      “Anyone who thinks otherwise is just not following Gods wishes & commmandment’s on Loving thy Neighbor? Thou shalt not hate!” Have you thought much on YOUR demands for MY loving my neighbor? I have!
      And I totally disagree with you. Try talking to a Muslim about Christian love and see what happens. I HAVE !!! Good luck.

      • Karolyn

        The main idea behind “Love they neighbor as thyself” is to do just that – no matter who or what they are.

    • http://gunner689 gunner689

      The problem is there is plenty of justified ill will against muslims.
      How do you love you’re neighbor when his intent is to kill you and your family? it’s time for them to go, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    • 45caliber

      Debra:
      If you will read the old Testiment, you will see that God ordered the Jews to kill everything when they came back to the Holy Land. Even the animals and chickens. They didn’t do it, instead making many of the prettier girls slaves or even ignoring entire villages of them. And we’ve reaped the mistake since they are the ancestors of modern day Muslims.

      • Karolyn

        The old Testament was written by somebody for the old times in which they lived.

      • Jana

        Karolyn you label yourself by your own words. This shows that you do not know the Whole Word of God as it takes the Old and New Testament.
        You have no comprehension how God feels about false religions. You have no comprehension what it even means to Love thy neighbor, nor the words you used before, You know not what you do. You are changing the Bible to your values, not God’s values.

      • Jana

        When you truly love your neighbor, you correct them when they are doing wrong. They are worshiping a false god, they are intruding on our rights, they are trying to turn our country into an Islamic country.

      • Karolyn

        And this is all true because of certain translations of a book written by man. Why are you so afraid to entertain thoughts that this might be untrue? You are so brainwashed that you are afraid of fictional devils and demons and can’t think outside the box because of fear. I am so glad I don’t have to live in that fear anymore.

    Should we protest if any churches go up near the Oklahoma City bomb site?

    And if one still persists in calling for the halting of building this religious center…how far is far enough? Remember, in NYC, two blocks is a long way…and the Mosque cannot see nor can it be seen from Ground Zero.

        You are right. I read about one of those American born Muslims recently. Didn’t he kill 13 fellow American soldiers at Fort Hood? Oh yea, and what about the American born cleric that is now in Pakistan, I think, that the US government has placed a bounty on his head. He is the cleric that councils other American born muslims. He was the council of the Fort Hood murderer. How about the muslim that had just recently received his U.S. citizenship? You know, the one who had placed the car bomb in town square??

        Flashman – Having a label of Christian or any religion, for that matter, does not make you a follower of Christianity, etc. It’s just a label. Your actions, i.e. how you live your life, ultimately speak louder than words or labels- and are the true measure of the person – and their genuine relationship or not with their God or lack of God.

        Pol Pot – Whatever
        Ottoman Turks WW1 – Muslim

        A list of the greatest mass murderers in history, all of them AFTER 1900. (I include Ottoman Turks for the slaughter of 1.5 million Armenian non-combatants in 1915 plus other numerous but smaller indiscretions.) And for statistics: More non-combatant Christians have been murdered (by persecution) in the entire world since 1900 than in all the centuries from the Ascension of Christ to 1899. And it still goes on, as in Nigeria, recently.

        So knock off the David Koresh et al nonsense. Besides, our government then was more eager to send in the troops for a small cult in Texas than they are to send them to PROTECT the borders of Texas from Mexico.

        And, Karolyn, I’m 62, and the livin’ has been easy in the US for us, hasn’t it? Especially if you weren’t paying attention.Wake up.I seem to recall something about Viet Nam, some problem there, maybe just a blip on your radar screen. BTW the Muslims practice female circumcision.

      • Pathfinder

        I am amazed that you fail to notice a very important difference between Islamic nations and what I, and others like me on this site, am/are proposing. In the Islamic countries, NO OTHER FAITHS ARE PERMITTED TO BUILD HOUSES OF WORSHIP NOR TO PREACH THEIR RELIGION. Here, in America, Christians of many differing sects, Jews, Druids, Buddists, Hindus, and many other faiths ARE tolerated. Of this fact I am very glad.

        But, I propose that the faith which sanctions jihad, has a special TAX for those who do not convert (jizya), and has from its very origin been spread mainly by violence should not, itself, be tolerated.

        So, NO. I do not want to be just like the moslems. I just wabnt to treat them the same way that they have been treating, not just christians, but everyone else.

They have just as much right to build what they want as anyone; and if the goernment that most of you are against said they couldn’t, then you certainly would be proved to be hypocrites. Hate solves nothing. That’s like Have you not heard the Muslimm “on the street” talking. The Koran is not all about hate. If you would judge the Koran as being about hate, then you would have to do the same for the Old Testament in the Bible.

        If you want to knock Christianity, use the same standard and apply it to Muslims. So when will the world see religious structures of “other” faiths in Muslim countries?

        No Dave we don’t want the Gov’t. doing it, but the Imam needs to be aware of the will of the people, and the majority rules. Muslims are not in the majority, muslims attacked us on 9-11, and Muslims take over unless they are stopped. Not only that I don’t remember at this moment how many times a day they have their very loud sound of calls to prayer, but it is also obtrusive that way too.
        It is not a Gov’t. issue, but a public issue.

      • randel

        If it is a peace center then it should include representation for all religions and all faiths should be able to worship in their own way on the property. This would truly promote tolerance and understanding of all religions. Otherwise,this is a veiled attempt to exert religious doctrine and dominance of one religious belief over others.

        What do you think – that the Government should use Eminent Domain to confiscate their property? Do you think the Government has the right to take it away just because they are Muslims? Sounds pretty liberal to me.

        It is my belief that should this mosque be built there should be a 25 foot Cross and a 25 foot Star of David each lighted 24/7/365 built in clear view of every entrance and exit.

      • juana

        I know the some people sopport the building the mosquita but is not respect for the us the Americans that we do not want terrors in our country if a religion wants to kill and do what the religion says we do not want that in USA please do it in your countires if you think is right to do. the Mosquita in NK is not your country that you love is just some place that you have not pay a price to keep us save. May the Lord Jesus open your eyes to see the good is in him and we need to do good and not kill the Americans. I think any religion that is to kill the Americans should go back to thier countries.

      • Jana

        juana,
        You are so right. God says in the Old Testament that He is a jealous God. He does not want us worshiping any false gods. The god of Islam is a false god, made in the image of Muhammad. If anyone KNOWS The One True God, they would not be fooled by allah. Religious tolerance? No, God is not tolerant of other religions and He does not want us to be either.
        We are tolerant even to a fault when they are not trying to step all over us, but Islam is trying to take us over and we need now to be intolerant of that. They want to take us over and if anyone calls that hate speech, then I say to you YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!

      • American Conserative

        Islam is a GOVERNMENT, the Koran is its Constitution, Shira Law is its Legal System, its MOSQUE are centers of Government operations, and its Citizens are called MOSLEM. The Government of Islam has declared WAR on the United States a long time ago and is hell-bent on our destruction. The Government of Islam has infiltrated all three branches of the Federal Government and the Trojan horse is in the White House.

      • KRISTINE

        Karolyn,
        I wish that you were right about Muslims, but I don’t think that there are very many, if any, “moderate” Muslims. Islam is not just a religion, it is a cultural, political and legal system that dictates every aspect of one’s life. There is no “grace” for anyone who does not submit to Islam. The Koran does tell followers to kill the infidel. If you can find that message anywhere in the Bible let me know. If this mosque is a peaceful community center, why did they choose this spot and why would the Imam want to dedicate it on 9/11/2011? That is no coincidence. Think about it Karolyn.

      • Jana

        Kristine,
        And according to Islam there are very few women who will make it to heaven. To them women are dirty and a major inconvenience. Do you ever here of an honor killing to a man? NO, just to women and daughters.

      • Jana

        Karolyn,
        I have been studying the Qur’an, and have learned enough about even WHO wrote the Qur’an to know that this is NOT a religion of peace. In fact Muhammad started out that they should honor the Bible but as he went on and someone made him mad, he decided that his god was calling him to be his god’s avenger. Then he became his god’s wrath and killed anyone disagreeing with him (Muhammad). As a 56 year old man he married a 6 yr. old girl and waited till she was 8 to consummate the marraige. Why how big of him to wait 2 yrs for her to turn 8. We call that a pedophile over here.

        This religion was created by man for man. They do not serve the One True God.

        Karlyn you are sady mininformed and blissfully ignorant of the Truth.

        The following is a good video on taqiyya. It’s a concept about which all of us should become well-versed because the skillful use of taqiyya is one of the primary reasons so many non-Muslims are not only ignorant about Islam, but self-righteously so.

        Christ Jesus, Son of God, died and rose again to save his Creation (of which each one of us are part. Islam’s God is Allah, god of this world, who wants the Creation (of which each one of us are part) to die for Islam’s god Allah. Praise to and Thanks to our Lord God Christ Jesus that He came into the World to seek and to save that which was lost by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

    • JHall

      Mikey,

      It’s the principal of the idea. Whether Islamic, Jewish, or Christian. If it was a group of Christians that were in charge of destroying the Twin Towers I would not want a church to be built on ground ZERO. It’s like rubbing salt in the wound. I have no problem with a mosque being built in America but why on land that is so sensitive? America is big enough to build anywhere. I feel it is insensitive for a religion to build a permanent building on a site that was destroyed by it own members. IF a neighbor of yours blew up your house and killed some of your relatives in that house, and then family members from the person who blew up your house decided to buy that land and build a house of their own on your demolished property, I don’t think you would like that too much. Islamic countries would NEVER allow Christians, Jews or any other religion to allow what we are allowing in a million years. So I agree with you on allowing the basic rights but we also need to have common sense, courtesy, and be sensitive toward one and other as well. For Muslims to build a mosque on ground ZERO show that lack of courtesy, and sensitivity.

      • libertytrain

        JHall – I’m beginning to see it as an attempt to make it a “holy ground” for the “martyrs” who took over those planes — not a holy ground for the murdered 3,000 people. It will be a place where other muslims can celebrate what their “martyrs” did.

      • Robin from Arcadia, IN

        libertytrain…. I think you are right!

      • J. Murphy

        I agree with nearly everything said in this forum. A mosque anywhere near Ground Zero is vile, inhuman, disgusting & insensitive to all Americans. I hope all New Yorkers make sure of this one way or the other. Our kiss ass politicians are doing nothing. Islamic laws, the koran are nothing. Muslims don’t have a religion. What is quoted as a religion started with a man who was disrespected & he made sure everyone knew it. Muslim men kept the farce going over the centuries. Allah doesn’t exist except in the minds of Muslims who are total control freaks. Hateful, vile, disgusting, shameful, despicable mean spirited people. They’ve made it clear they want everyone dead (especially Americans) who won’t or don’t believe in their so-called religion. So why would anyone want them in America? God would never tell his people to murder all those who won’t adhere to his religion. This is why he gave us free will. Since there is no proof anywhere on this planet that shows Allah is god or that Muslim religion ever really exists, there’s no reason to let them hide behind our Constitution or Bill of Rights concerning religion. Politically correct, my ass. They can kiss mine. I’ve written every single Governor & Senator via email, to pass a bill to ensure that no Sharia laws can be passed in any state. God is showing exactly what he thinks of Muslims as we speak. The floods throughout Pakistan & parts of Afghanistan. Check it out. How about the floods in China & North Korea? Moscow has had a major heat wave that’s caused wildfires & more carbon monoxide in the air than smog in London. If you want to read what our papers won’t tell us, check out the Guardian & UK articles on line. We as Americans don’t want Muslims in our country. We don’t think they should get special treatment or ride free on our dime, what is exactly what Obama did with thousands of Muslim refugees. Obama also excused Muslims from any & all penalties having to do with the healthcare laws. They don’t have to get insurance. If we don’t, we’ll be fined by the IRS. If you haven’t been to “America Speaks Out” or “Republican Whip, You Cut”, all of you should check it out. More ways to stop spending & speak your mind on what’s going on in our country. Get it??? OUR COUNTRY.
        For those of you die hard Democrats; if you hate what’s happening to our country, then please vote Republican this November. We want Obama out of our White House. Sooner than later. Omana does not have the American Flag behind him when he gives press conferences, nor does he put his hand over his heart when our National Anthem is played or sung. He wants our military to pay for their own medical insurance. When the Obama family went on vacation, the dog was sent on a separate plane on taxpayers dime because Obama wouldn’t let him on airforce one. WHO DOES THAT???? If nothing else, our military should get more money in war & out for their service to Americans. No socialist crap. We are a DEMOCRACY & we want it to stay that way.
        Speak out people. Don’t fear anyone or anything. Tell it like it is. Free our country of terrorist. Send all Muslim men back where they belong. I truly believe that if Muslim women were free to express themselves & learn what freedom really is, they would begin to explore Christianity & know our God is the ONE & ONLY GOD. They would teach future generations of muslims about God.

    • slickporsche

      Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.
      Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

      Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’
      When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
      As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

      United States — Muslim 1.0%
      Australia — Muslim 1.5%
      Canada — Muslim 1.9%
      China — Muslim 1%-2%
      Italy — Muslim 1.5%
      Norway — Muslim 1.8%

      At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

      Denmark — Muslim 2%
      Germany — Muslim 3.7%
      United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
      Spain — Muslim 4%
      Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

      From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
      They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).

      France — Muslim 8%
      Philippines — Muslim 5%
      Sweden — Muslim 5%
      Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
      The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
      Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

      At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
      When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).

      Guyana — Muslim 10%
      India — Muslim 13.4%
      Israel — Muslim 16%
      Kenya — Muslim 10%
      Russia — Muslim 10-15%

      After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
      Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

      At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

      Bosnia — Muslim 40%
      Chad — Muslim 53.1%
      Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

      From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

      Albania — Muslim 70%
      Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
      Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
      Sudan — Muslim 70%

      After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

      Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
      Egypt — Muslim 90%
      Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
      Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
      Iran — Muslim 98%
      Iraq — Muslim 97%
      Jordan — Muslim 92%
      Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
      Pakistan — Muslim 97%
      Palestine — Muslim 99%
      Syria — Muslim 90%
      Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
      Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
      United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

      100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s (supposed) to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: we know however that this isnt true is it…?

      Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
      Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
      Somalia — Muslim 100%
      Yemen — Muslim 99.9%

      Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons…and they are coming to a neighborhood near you…so keep thinking they are not going to harm you and they “accept” you

        Sorry, Slickporshche, for a little sarcasm here, but surely there will be those who say “Don’t bother me with the facts, my mind’s made up.” Truth is, such people don’t get the news and are not aware of what’s happening anywhere except in their own minds. I believe it’s called “ignorance.” The same kind of crap that made for “Hope” and “Change” in the last Election. And the same thing that allows for the shout of victory from a Muslim Center, to be heard all around the Sanctuary of Ground Zero. It’s the same ignorance that admits that Muslims also, were killed by Muslim Jihaddists on 9/11/01, because of their lack of respect for Freedom or Life.

      Such silliness sir, the mosque, has nothing to due with freedom of religion and if they were caring people who were going to inhabit that
      mosque; they would see that the empathetic voice of a truly devoted religious person or persons would know the feelings of the disturbed 9-11 suffering citizens and back off. Should not their kindness mean something too? Or … does not the power to feel deeply for others enter into “their book of prayers?”

      • JC

        Karolyn…maybe your views would be a little different if you actually lived under Sharia law.

        A New Jersey family court judge’s decision not to grant a restraining order to a woman who was sexually abused by her Moroccan husband and forced repeatedly to have sex with him is sounding the alarm for advocates of laws designed to ban Shariah in America.

        Judge Joseph Charles, in denying the restraining order to the woman after her divorce, ruled that her ex-husband felt he had behaved according to his Muslim beliefs — and that he did not have “criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault” his wife.

        According to the court record, the man’s wife — a Moroccan woman who had recently immigrated to the U.S. at the time of the attacks — alleged:

        “Defendant forced plaintiff to have sex with him while she cried. Plaintiff testified that defendant always told her “this is according to our religion. You are my wife, I c[an] do anything to you. The woman, she should submit and do anything I ask her to do.”

        In considering the woman’s plea for a restraining order after the couple divorced, Charles ruled in June 2009 that a preponderance of the evidence showed the defendant had harassed and assaulted her, but “The court believes that [defendant] was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited.”

        Kamrade Karolyn, welcome to the United States. Let me tell you something about America and Americans. We DO NOT turn the other cheek when our nation our freedom’s and our principles are threatened. And when that threat is of a deadly nature, we respond with deadly force…it’s one of nature’s most moral laws.

        Take this news of a great great nation back to wherever you are from and try and reform the poor backward people that you seem to represent.

        Best, JC

        Hate is louder, but there is more power in love. Read “Power vs. Force” by Dr. Hawkins.

        Pathfinder: you are correct Sir. We are a nation founded on Christian-Judeo laws and principals. all others are just guests we tolerate. The Twin Towers didn’t have to fall on my head for me to realize that we are in a war to the end with these 6th century cretins. That started when they started blowing up airliners back in the 70′s and the massacre at the Munich Olympics. These people who believe that Islam is a religion of peace are so naive that they’ll believe it as the sword fall on their necks. Our Federal Gvt. under Immam Obama is the most immediate threat our nation faces. Hopefully that will start to change in Nov. Just a random thought; if some desicrated the building site of a proposed mosque, with let’s say a barrel of pig’s blood, would they still build it?

    • alpha-lemming

      I don’t think anyones’ freedom of religion/assembly is being denied here. However, if Muslims really wanted to “build some bridges” and outreach was important, a stick to the eye of Americans/survivors AT THIS SHRINE is NOT a good PR campaign. Go somewhere else in NYC.

      • Christin

        Go somewhere else in the WORLD!
        Mosque at Ground Zero does not equal PEACE.

        Are you all aware that there are 35 Muslim Camps in America?

        What would the Founding Father’s have done about the so-called religion called Islam as it pushes it’s laws, violence and false god on American soil?????????

    • Fighter Pilot

      Hey Mikie, wake up Islam is not a religon it’s a neo political war loving group. Look up the history of Muhommed himself. If it was a religon why are they trying to spread Shria law BY FORCE? Christianity is spread by love not hate. Mention Christ in their countries you die then and there. Don’t let these Warmungers bulid their victory mosque in the middle of their attacks against this nation.

      HATER PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR ! That’s me! I hate all who hate MY Country and who kill MY Brothers and Sisters at arms. Let’s not forget those whom I hate are so evil as to even kill their own and themselves. I also hat6e the naivette of those who won’t admit that those Muslim countries don’t allow ANY Christian or even Budhist temple in their WHOLE territory and our Military can’t even display symbols of their faith while there. YES, Christ said to turn the other cheek, but HE never said how many times. I suppose there are people that, because of their ignorance refuse to see what’s happening with the Jihaddists and their Shariah laws, but as it’s been said, “There’s none so blind as those who refuse to see.” I hate the ignorance that refuses to accept the terrible prospect that would await my grand and great-grandchildren if Islam overcomes the U.S. of America. I’m a confessed HATER, but I Pray every day, GOD BLESS AMERICA and GOD help us all. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT !

      • Jana

        Al,
        Over and over Israel allowed peoples of other religions to come into their midst. They brought their false idols and false gods, and their strange ways of worship and converted God’s people into the false religions. This is what is happening to us now.
        Islam goes into our prisons and converts other prisoners by the thousands into this false religion of hate and intolerance. They are like a cancer that spreads.
        God allowed Israel to be conquered because they refused to listen to their prophets. We have the Bible that tells us what will happen if we allow this cancer to take over our society.
        We have set back and allowed any form of prayer, even silent prayer from our schools or public places to be taken away. Political correctness is trying to eliminate even the name of God out of our vocabulary. We can’t have the Ten Commanments posted anywhere. We have to call it Winter Vacation, not Christmas.
        Now, we are being slowly taken over by a false religion and there are ignorant fools who applaud this. Karolyn is one of those.
        Religious tolerance? Our religious rights are being taken away and Islam’s rights are escalating. And people call this tolerance???

      Islam is not a religion. It is a cult. It has no cohesive religious dogma or doctorines. The closest that Islam comes to any kind of religious concepts are the parts of the Torah that the People of the Talmud sold to Muhammad along with some of the New Testament which they plagerised. The main concept of Islam is surrender and that does not mean surrender to God but surrender to Islam.
      Islam converts people by deadly force. Christianity converts by spreading the teaching of Jesus and the people can either accept the teachings or reject them. Jesus even states in the New Testament that when He sent out his Apostles to preach the first time on their own , Jesus told them to take nothing with you, go as you are and find shelter in the house of a good person who accepts you. Jesus also told the Apostles that if you are rejected by the people of a town or place where you tried to teach the things which I have given you to teach, then turn away and brush the dust of that place from your feet and clothes and leave. No where in Christianity is it written or insinuated to convert by force. Islam converts using deadly force or pay a so called tax called the Giz’ya, but that is only if they let you choose to pay the tax.
      Christianity only fights when it is attacked. When Muhammad crawled out of his cave in about seven hundred AD. The only Religions that existed in the Mid-East were Christianity, Talmudism or Judaism, and paganism. There was no such thing as Islam. There was only the Pagan group outside of Mecca where the Ka’Aba existed and it was a rock wall surrounding three stones and these were worshipped as gods. The two white stones were removed and then the black rock was worshopped as a god called allah. After Muhammad finally was chased out of his cave by a demon , as he thought, and reported to his wife of twenty years his senior, she said;no Muhammad, that was Gabriel the Archangel and you are his messenger and so you hve the very beginnings of Islam. Muhammad’s wife was a business woman and sold trinkets and memorabilia for the pagan religion of the rock gods and she figured if Muhammad could be dsesignated as the messenger of Gabriel, then business would pick up. You could say that the real originator of Islam was Muhammad’s wife. But I digress, Islam started to spread by ambushing caravans and killing Christians, Jews, and other Pagans who would not submit to Muhammed and Islam. As you read the new testament you will notice that there were Christian Churches in Egypt, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Ethiopia, Ephesus in Turkey, Alexandria in Egypt. The only persecuters of Christianity before islam were the Romans at times and the Jews constantly. The Crusades were fought so that Christianity could retrieve the areas it had occupied since the time of Jesus and after. The Muslims were the interlopers just like their building the temple of the rock, hey, we have another temple for a rock, strange but this temple was and is built on the Temple Mount. KInd of reminds me of the same chicken liver muslims wanting to build a mosque two blocks from GROUND ZERO. KIND OF HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS THE TEMPLE OF THE ROCK BUILT ON THE ISRAELITE TEMPLE MOUNT.THE TEMPLE OF THE ROCK WAS BUILT BECAUSE Muhammad was mystically transported to Jerusalem one night through the sky and sat on a rock there and they built the temple of the rock to commemorate where muhammad sat. Any way, Christianity does not fight unless Christianity is in the process of wiped out and Jesus said to spread His Word to all corners of the world but you can’t do that unless you have some Christians left to accomplish His Order. We saw what happens to Christians just go to help people in Afghanistan where nine Christians were killed last week by the COWARDLY BUSHWACKING PAGAN CAMEL DUNG TALIBAN.
      If you want to bring up the Inquisition, then consider that this usually came about becaust the people of the Talmud/Jews were trying to undermine Christianity and destroy the social order of Europe. On certain Jewish hollidays they would kidnap a gentile baby and sacrifice the baby just like they did in the OIld Testament , so you have the inquisition. It was also used to abolish heresy against the Christian Church and most of the time these people were not killed. Most of the killing was in spain and these were done for political purposes by King of Spain.The Pope told him at that time an a Papal Bull to stop the killinsg. There was also an incident of a Gentile Baby being sacrificed around this time and the case went to a civil court.
      To try to co-exist with Islam is like trying to co-exist with a time bomb and looking away hoping against hope that the bomb won’t go off. Killing of the Infidel/Unbeliever is tought in the Queran. It’s taught in their so called most holy book. Don’t expect the muslims to ever accept anything but a Christian, Jew, and any other kind of Religion world. The muslims and our own Traitorous People can meely mouth about Political Correctness all they want but all that they are doing is setting The United States for Slaughter. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WANT TO TAKE OUR GUNS AWAY? AND DON’T FORGET THE ZIOINIST-BOLSHEVIK-COMMUNIST TRAITORS.

      • Jana

        cmanap40,
        This was a very good and informative post on the history of Islam.
        God has also called us to be warriors including putting on the “armor of God”. In Eph. chapter 6. Sometimes it is required for us to die for our faith, but many times it is far harder to live our faith. We get labeled as haters of other religions or as intolerant. So be it, but to know the Truth will set us free, and when we know that Truth, we have a responsibility to stand up for it.

    • William Barry

      That was ancient history, Mike. We have since condemned such actions.

      Now unfortunately, we are confronting people who threaten to make us regret ever doing so…

    • http://thisone jayjay

      Mike B. you don’t know what you are talking about, please do everyone a favor, and don’t post anymore, by what you have written, it only shows your ignorance. Try looking up the Koran – and their doctrine of HATE, if you like living in America, educate yourself, or move to Iraq, Iran, or some other muslim country, and see how well they treat you there! It’s not about freedom of religion – what these muslim monsters did to our country was an act of hate, they are the HATERS, not U.S. citizens. Remember the muslims even hate their own people, along with everyone else, they are equal opportunity HATERS, they especially hate Americans, jews, and christians. If you are in one of these groups, they hate you as well. Freedom of religion is one thing – but these people HATE everyone, if they can kill their own people, all the other groups are open season as well.

    Bloomberg must find it confusing to switch gears and play the role of a ‘Republican,’ a RINO, a progressive and a big bucks fence-sitter at the same time. I have a suggestion for the NYC mayor.
    Hoss, if you’re so concerned about being ‘fair,’ then take the time to see that a synagogue and another religious building get built next to or across the street from that mosque. Walk the walk, and talk the talk, or disappear, Mikey. For now, you’ve done more than enough to outrage millions of Americans who were born with more common sense than you’ve acquired since you were a rug rat.

      Whada ya wanna bet if this thing gets built, somewhere in the inner sanctum, probably off limits to everyone but those “Special” people, there will be found a shrine dedicated to the 9-11 murders of over 3000 Americans ???

      …And even if such shrine is built and displayed openly, we’ll have to accept this slap in the face as part of our daily lives as a freedom of expression / religion.

      Mark my words… this will not be a community center, this will be a VICTORY Center and will in the middle east will be refered to as such.

      How many CHRISTIAN CHURCHS are there in saudi arabia. Will they allow a CHRISTIAN CHURH to be build across the way from mecca???? muslims should not be allowed to build any mosques in this country until CHRISTIAN CHURCHS AND CHRISTIANITY is allowed in ALL muslim countries.

        Well, I for one, will not get down on my knees and stick my butt up in the air and pray to Allah, NEVER! If I do stick my butt up in the air, all the Muslims can kiss it!!!

      • http://thisone jayjay

        Amen to that Tom! This mosque is nothing but an insult to every American citizen, just another slap in the face, by these out-of-touch politicians, and at the helm we have obama, sitting like an arrogant muslim, it’s strange we haven’t heard a word about this mosque from him. I’m sure he’s loving the idea of a mosque being built at Ground Zero, as he is so quick to insult us Americans around the world, every chance he gets. Who else bows to the King of Saudi Arabia? what we have in power is a muslim, a tyrannical dictator, who wants to peddle his agenda of socialism, leading our country down to a path of destruction as he spends us into oblivion. His plan is for the destruction of the U.S. by various means, of which he is accomplishing at a quick pace – with his wild spending, his passing the Health Care bill, which Americans didn’t want, along with other plans to create and develop a New World Order – which will lead to Socialism, I just hope our country can survive this radical muslim, dictator socialist, along with his cronies, and radical czars! It’s time for CHANGE alright, but NOT the change he’s peddling, it’s time to TAKE BACK AMERICA!

      “THE VERY IDEALS THAT MAKE THIS COUNTRY SO GREAT!” How can you be so ignorant to not see that the very ideals that make this country so great are the very ideals that is going to destroy this country.
      These goat f_ _ _ _ _’s are laughing at the naivety of the American people. They march once a year in NY shouting KAFIR then stop to throw down their rugs and pray and you people stand by and watch in complete silence?!!!!! Their rule book preaches the destruction of all but those that believe like them and you say “well, it’s not all of the, just some of the bad ones!” NEWSFLASH – their religion and it’s principles comes first above all else and even the ones that smile at you will stand by and cheer while you head is loped off when “just some of the bad ones have grown to a majority large enough to elect congress, wipe their butts on the Constitution and The Bill of Rights and install shariah law!
      Stop being so politically correct and do what is needed to save your country, speak out, act out and stop letting them have their way under the tenet that they are expressing their religion as provide for them under our Bill of Rights! It is noting more than a mask for a political movement.

      • Jimmy .308HP (F)

        On the one hand, you have Islam trying in earnest to take over the United States of America while pouring acetone into the wounds of Americans who have lost family and or friends to Islamic terrorist attacks throughout the world. Building a Mosque at or near “Ground Zero” is the acetone and manipulating the laws that govern us will allow it to happen. Our “Founding Fathers” spoke of these things, both directly and indirectly and the building of the Mosque CAN be stopped.
        On the other hand, Mayor Bloomberg and his like thinking cronies are textbook “Capitalists” with dollar signs in their eyes and void of moral conscience. I still wonder how the “Paper Hang’n SOB” got elected in the first place. Wait! I know how buffoons get elected to public office – they are High School drop outs who are old enough to vote.
        Who will build it? Those without moral fibre. Never Under Estimate the POWER of a PATRIOT…………….

      • http://thisone jayjay

        You’re right – jimminety bop you’re right – what they now want is to build the mosque – take over and introduce Sharia Law into our country – we CANNOT stand for or accept that! These muslims are radicals, if anyone doesn’t believe it try pullilng up the Koran – it is a doctrine of hate. They hate jews, christians and Americans, they call America – “the Great Satan” as well as “Infidels” – these muslims are whack-jobs, with only one purpose and that is to kill all who oppose them, then institute Sharia Law. The fact that they want to build a mosque is not only an insult, to every American, but is their way of declaring a victory, over a conquered site or country! Basically they are saying “we conquered you America, and this is our way of saying, we did it, and now we are going to build a mosque on the site we conquered” IF that isn’t an insult to every American, I don’t know what is. Everyone should be MAD about this, and fight this proposed mosque every step of the way. Pressure needs to be put on NYC Mayor – Bloomberg, and Stringer for even considering such an idea. They are TRAITORS and should be OUSTED from office. Anyone who supports this mosque is a TRAITOR and should be treated as such, there are several politicians in NYC that are supporting it, and they are TRAITORS to, most likely they are democrats, not long ago, there was a picture of them in the NYC newspaper, some of them were of oriental descent, along with Stringer, and a few others, these are the people who NEED to be VOTED OUT, come ELECTION time, if they are NOT FOR US American citizens, then they are against us. Please everyone take the time to VOTE wisely, as our country depends on it.
