This morning I recieved an email reply from New York mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to the message I sent him about the proposed mosque a bunch of radical Muslims plan to build on Ground Zero.
Here’s some of what he had to say: “Thank you for writing to share your thoughts and concerns about the proposed mosque and Islamic cultural center to be built at Park Place and Broadway… Our Administration strongly supports the right of faith groups to open houses of worship, or community centers, in whatever location they choose, provided it complies with all applicable laws.
Last month, the local community board voted by an overwhelming margin (29-1) to endorse the project. Of course, the approval process has many steps yet before it is finalized, and many questions remain unanswered. I understand that this is a particularly sensitive issue, and I am hopeful that more dialogue about the center will increase the understanding and cooperation that is so integral to the vitality of New York City.”
I hope those “many approval steps” Mayor Bloomberg speaks of is code for “Don’t worry, we’ll scuttle it”. I just wish he and other prominent elected officials would get off their damn soap boxes and speak their true minds. The time for all this nicey-nice diplomacy with the Muslims has long passed and New York’s efforts to continue it is an atavism. Where are all the straight talkers? Is Sarah Palin really the only one we have? She has spoken out repeatedly against the building of this obscenity and she’s being heard. I hope she’s being heard enough.
OBSCENITY is all concerned on Islam — ABOMINATION, all of bad.
But this TREASON is INTOLERABLE.
Fuck!
What the fuck New York people has in their mind to don’t PROTEST against this strike on American heart?
Everybody, Muslim does not mean extremist, and it definately does not equal terrorist or terrorist-sympathisizer. Don’t let forces on the left and right split us apart. I for one support our Islamic American citizens, against terrorism and strongly for religious freedom. I invite those currently in opposition to the Mosque to join us.
Edmond and everybody, yes, Muslim DOES mean extremist. The only difference between a Muslim extremist and a Muslim “moderate” is the level of willingness to die for Islam, and the way Muslims are brainwashed since birth, it doesn’t take much to change “moderates” into extremists.
I too stronly support our Islamic American citizens, particularly their right to go back where they came from.
