| Panel Clears Way for Mosque Near Ground Zero |
| 2010-08-03 |
| A New York City panel voted unanimously Tuesday to reject landmark status for a building near the World Trade Center site, paving the way for construction of a mosque and an Islamic community center. Opponents of the project, including 9/11 first-responders and family members of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, have said the location would be insensitive. The mosque is slated to be part of an Islamic community center to be operated by a group called the Cordoba Initiative, which says the center will be a space for moderate Muslim voices. |

| #11 These people who are wanting to build the mosque are rubbing our noses in it. The people who made the decision to go forward are dolts who are too stupid to know their noses are being rubbed in it, are left-wing crazies who are kumbaya nuts and think they are being peaceful and loving and accepting, are getting money from the muzzies to pass on this POS, or nutsos who deny 911 happened or that it is somehow our fault. I've run out of reasonable explanations for the unreasonable. So the families of 3000 mass murder victims of the muzzies means nothing to these dunces. My question is this: Will the muzzies allow a synagouge to be built next to mecca? No? Then a mosque shouldn't be built next to the site of the WTCs. If this goes forward, I will never again go to NYC or spend a cent that goes to NYC. |

| #9 Gee, it would be a shame if a truck loaded with liquified pig fat overturned just as it was passing the ground the "mosque" plans to use. Just sayin'.... |

| #8 You know, I was also thinking, a committee might want to investigate where dollars were place. I am wondering if any, "conflicts of interests," due to donations may have occured. |

| #7 And terror puts its foot on NY and spits all over 9/11. I don't think the US will ever be able to get rid of this stink. |

| #4 This is completely absurd! If the construction of said Mosque near ground zero is completed, you will be witness to the pinnacle of US Liberalism run amuck and will have experienced our great nation reaching rock bottom. I'll be waving Old Glory to the bitter end! What a sad time to be an American. |

| #3 "moderate Muslim voices" If they were truly "moderate" they would understand that this is an obamantion to all AMERICANS or should be. Will the Japanese build a Military Museum in Pearl City? How about we erect some Hitler statues at the concentration camps? No if they were truly "moderate" they would give ground zero a WIDE berth to distance themselves from the "Radical" Muslims and their actions. Shame on NYC for not preventing this. |
