| B.O. defends plans for mosque near ground zero |
| 2010-08-14 |
| President Barack Obama on Friday endorsed plans for a Muslim mosque two blocks from ground zero in New York City, declaring that "Muslims have the right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country." and if you say anything bad about them, they'll kill you... Speaking at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Obama said all Americans have the right to worship as they choose. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances, Obama said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable." Obama emphasized the point as New York City is immersed in a deeply sensitive debate about whether a mosque should be built near the site of the World Trade Center's twin towers. His remarks drew agreement and vilification. It was the president's first public remarks about the mosque controversy. The White House previously called the matter solely a local one. like cops arresting some loud mouthed moron professor in Mass? The dinner was attended by over 100 guests, including two Muslim-American congressmen and ambassadors and officials from numerous Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Wonder boy just can't seem to get enough of having muzzy ass on his nose... this guy is really doing everything he can to ensure being a one-term president... |

| #8 "Muslims have the right to practice their religion FTFY. AFAIAC, Islam is more of a socio-political system than a religion. If they would just behave more as religious folks do and stop being so political. Their political activism as a function of population is way too high. Do I remember maybe this Imam saying that they were trying to reach out to Americans with this mosque? Well, Americans don't want it. This mosque works directly against their stated goal. Yet they still push forward with it. Why? (Yes, that's rhetorical.) And Obama, if you are such an idealogue about the Constitution of this country, why are you running roughshod over it when it suits your purposes, and out of the other side of your mouth you are espousing it when it suits other purposes of yours? Pick a side. Obama said he would prefer to be a good one term president. That means he thinks we'll figure out how good he was after the fact. I don't think so. |

| #6 You do not build a 150 megadollar mosque on contributed dimes from schoolchildren. Follow the money. This mosque is not a religious center. It is a base for infiltration operations. Our so called leaders are selling us out. Who are the enemy? Dhimmi leaders. |

| #5 mark Levin had a great point yesterday while discussing the 14th amendment and how it doesn't convey birthright citizenship to those here born to illegal parents. His point was that EVERYTHING in the Constitution is based on the "consent of the governed" and our obendience to laws is based on that collective consent. Barak Hussein Obama no longer has the consent of the governed. |

| #4 According to the guest list several ambassadors from OIC states were present. When Obama addressed the topic of religious tolerance he could have condemned the legally mandated murderous intolerance in places like the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan or the Saudi Entity. He absolutely should have told these ambassadors publicly that the rights and freedoms of the American people (and of US allies) are non-negotiable, and that demands by foreign powers to abolish the 1st Amendment (and similar guarantees) will be punished as unfriendly acts. As he did not, I can only conclude that his commitment is to the promotion of Islam not to freedom of religion or freedom of speech. It is no coincidence that major institutions in the US (Yale, nearly the entire MSM, even Comedy Central) are already obeying Sharia speech restrictions. This administration is not likely to protect American's rights and freedoms from interference by foreign governments. |

| #3 so which is this for you, Barak? Conversion or jizya? For the majority of amercians, this represents defeat at the hands of islamists. That's how muslims will see it and the celebrations can begin. Barak's pronouncement may have little to do with "religious freedom" and more to do with fear muzzies will kill him should he support a different location for the mosque. One would think "mainstream muslims" would themselves feel that the placement of an islamic mosque and playground so near ground zero would be in extreme bad taste. As a symbol of their "moderation" and respect for those who were slaughtered - by muslims - would oppose such a provocative act. But no. No reciprocity. No respect. No acceptance or undertanding. Gun sex from the islamists at this news from their biggest supporter. and smirky smiles from muslims who embrace the islamists goal with full support, if not the means. The decision may well increase the number of attacks on the infidel world - both at home and abroad - now they know POTUS supports rewarding terror. Their global caliphate has grown several leaps forward, in their minds. |

| #2 Muslim Mafia allied with the Chicago Mafia. Also note that as Iran starts to bring on their Nuclear Reactor, President Hussein wants to meet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad which is symbolic support of the policies of Ahmadinejad's hatrid of Israel. President Hussein and the Democratic Parties only true enemy is America. |
