#1 Further proof that our president is an elitist asshole. Pray for him, Psalm 109:8

#2 What better way to celebrate Ramadan than to build a spite mosque?

#3 This is a wonderful development. Having Obama on record as supporting this mosque will be ideal fodder for his opponent in 2012.

I wonder what the quality of steel and cement is going to be on this mosque. Deliveries are going to be spotty too. Probably a lot of work accidents and lawsuits too.

#4  Further proof that our president is an elitist asshole.

No, but it sure proves he's a Muslim.

#5 They have a right to build it, but they are wrong to do so. And Zero is wrong to comment on it - especially as part of a Ramadan celebration.

Wouldn't bother me a bit.

#8 Ground Zero mosque, bailouts up the ying-yang, gay marriage, legalized marijuana, illegal immigrants, etc., etc.

I tell people they're gonna miss Western Civilization when it's gone. I sure will.

#11 Obviously Muslims, Bammo included, couldn't care less what we think. The contempt is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

#12 Well, you brought it on yourselves in November 2008 - the only muslim president of the Western world. Shame!

#13 Guess this qualifies as Bammo's official "coming out" as a Muslim.

#14 Anybody know of any nice muslim neighborhoods where a church or synagogue might be built near a mosque?
- against the will of the local population?

#15 Let the spin begin...

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says Muslims have the right to build a mosque near ground zero in New York, but he's not saying whether he thinks it's a good idea to do so.

Obama's comment Saturday during a trip to Florida expanded on a statement he made at a White House dinner on Friday. At that event, he said Muslims have the same right to freedom of religion as everyone else in America.

Obama said Saturday that he didn't comment on "the wisdom" of putting a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks — but rather was commenting on "the right" to build a mosque there.


He's not just an asshole. He's a gutless asshole.

#17 Is he as hot on freedom of religion when he visits his chums in Saudi Arabia?

#19 Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. 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

Is this an inaccurate statement?

#20 Is this an inaccurate statement?

No.

Now explain to me why it's okay for Muslims to threaten a Danish cartoonist and Salman Rushdie with death for exercising their rights.

It is a lie of omission.

It's not okay; what relationship do you see between those fatwas and this mosque?

#24 Gaz, its called a victory mosque. Being built by a terrorist supporting anti American Muslim cleric, he's not a radical cleric, he's an average Judo-Christian hating Muslim cleric. Do you get that? Or are you just too stupid to understand what is going on? Islam, not radical Islam or terrorist Islam, but average ISLAM soldiers are operating in where we call the seams. Where they can play our laws and good christian beliefs against us. That is whats happening here.

Go to Saudi, go to UAE, go to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan, Qatar, and on and on and the one thing you will find is their outright hate for Christians. I have been there and I have seen it, not as a soldier in uniform either. If you think for one second they are here to coexist in peace your wrong, fucking dead wrong. Your comment is that of a child that cant see the real issues at hand. I reccommend you take a hard look at your family, your community, your way of life and ask yourself if living in Saudi is how you desire to live and for your kids to live. If you have ever been there, and you think its ok then move and leave our society alone.

#25 I shall pray very hard that God smite this mosque with a large meteorite on the day it's officially opened - if it ever reaches that point. I'm sure islam will get the message, whether they wish to acknowledge it or not. Islam is a Satanic death cult, and it needs to die.
