President Obama Supports NYC Mosque Near Ground Zero

We need to remember how Christianity and our beliefs are now being threatened by this government and anti christian groups.

No religion is threatened. Nobody is "anti christian". Not in the least. Allowing others who are different don't make you any least.

I say we get Obama out of office! NOW

Mosque can be built in every city in every state and I will always follow God!

and that is your choice, and no one is taking that away from you....

Not yet they aren't but in time even our choice will be taken.

Leave us alone or just leave!

What ever happened to Freedom and those that fought and lost their lives for it?

That includes Muslims, too.

bad choice Barry.

Hmmmm, this is still America. You can build what you want where you want so long as you aren't violating zoning laws. Deal with it.

WE do have freedom of religion, but we also need to show respect. I see it both ways....and I would think the Muslim community would want to move the mosque to a better, less controversial location...

Has America lost the voice of reason? has so many Americans decided that truth is what they want to make up.? First off Obama is supporting the constitution, something a few more people should start doing. We have freedom of religion, which is not your religion, it's not my lack of religion -- it is what every you choose.

Either support the laws of the land or change them, but remember, if you remove freedom of religion from those laws --- it will be your religion that goes as well.

I am amazed at the stuff the wacky fringe makes up, it borders on the thing they give lipservice to -- treason.

Here is my favorite statement I have read in a while: "I will always follow God! "

Apparently more people support Allah that I thought

From what I understand, the plan to build the mosque has been a long time coming, I believe even before 9-11 (though I think the site was only recently chosen, there was a Mosque planned before) There are already several Mosques in that area --- quite frankly because a lot of muslims live in the area.

To that notion, people forget that rescue workers and others who died in the tragedy were also Muslims, Jewish, Buddhist --- the thought that a certain set of Christians own the religion of a certain area is absurd.

If Newt Gingrich and others have such a high moral sanctity, maybe they should stop cheating on their wives, fleecing the American taxpayers and --what the heck-- actually start attending a church of their choice.

To claim some moral high ground, so they can be prejudice, is perhaps the greatest irony (if not sin) of everything that has happened before and after 9-11.

Think about this: Timothy McVeigh was Catholic, if they were to build a Catholic church in the area of Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, who would protest that. Are all Catholics terrorist because of McVeigh?

I should add there is a backlash wherever there is an attempt to build a Mosque; and standing on the bible does not put you on higher ground.

Interesting, I worked for a chamber of commerce at the time of 9/11 and we had a station at the local tourist railroad station --- where I was. There were lots of christians coming there and they had smiles on their face, some got a little mad because all transportation was shut down --- even tourist trains.

Thank some 'god' they didn't turn on the radio and dance

And wrong, many many Muslim leaders denounced the attack. If you have decided to turn a blind eye to that fine. (google: muslims against terrorism and you only get 279,000 results -- you can start here http://www.muhajabah.com/otherscondemn.php)

But we live out of context. At the time of 9/11 there was suicide bombers and bombing between the Palestinians and Israelis. I kept thinking how long can that go on. when you understand that the American politicians continued that violence by supporting Israel with money and weapons. [I bet a lot of Christians, buddhist and confucians sat back and said nothing.]

I am not condoning the reaction of Muslims, but as a faith, when you see America as the money and guns that kills your family... it was only a matter of time before there would be a reaction --- it was by an extremist, not the mainstay of the Muslim faith.

If anyone was attacking you, and you found out that those who were attaching you were supported by Martians and someone bombed Mars --- many would sing and dance. Please keep it in context

And remember, though it wasn't probably not intended, you have just implied that those who want to build a Mosque in NYC were singing and dancing when 9-11 happened. (And for the muslims that were singing and dancing --- it's up to Allah to ultimately take care of them)

No, christians don't own that property (even though they do own a lot of property tax-free, something the teabaggers should think about whey they complain they are paying more then their share of taxes), they are just acting like they do.

The bottom line and it is clear no one wants to accept this, it isn't about religion, anybody who meets the zoning requirements can build there. Zone the area so no religion can build there if it is a problem.

The other thing to note, if you are of any religion and you accept the government telling you how and whre to build a place of worship... it is only a matter of time until your faith will receive the marching orders
