Hamas leader gives nod for Ground Zero mosque
NOTE: I grabbed this from Sify, a news portal in India. The GZ Mosque controversy is being followed closely there, and a whole bunch of diplomatic signals are being sent that do not reflect well on the US Government's moral fibre... A Hamas leader has insisted that American Muslims must construct the mosque near Ground Zero in New York. "We have to build everywhere," said the New York Post quoted Mahmoud al-Zahar, a co-founder of Hamas and the organization's chief on the Gaza Strip, as saying. Now why would that be? "In every area we have, [as] Muslim[s], we have to pray, and this mosque is the only site of prayer," he said on "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" on WABC. "We have to build the mosque, as you are allowed to build the church and Israelis are building their holy places." I can think of all kinds of places where churches and synagogues are not well received. New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer dismissed the endorsement. "Hamas is a terrorist organization, and their views don't deserve any weight on anything," his spokesman said. The may not 'deserve' weight in your silly view of the universe, but they get it here on Earth. And you are playing right into their hands, Chuckie. At least he referred to Hamas as a terrorist organization, as opposed to many progressive Dhimmicrats who try and split the difference. Zahar said Muslims around the world, including those who live in this country, are united in a common cause. (ANI) And what might that be, hmmmmmmm...? Posted by: Free Radical 2010-08-16 |
