So what do you all think about the Ground Zero mosque? Apparently, it’s made by Muslims trying to foster understanding by not understanding why people don’t want a giant mosque next to Ground Zero. And call me racist (except we’re talking about a religion, not a race) but I get suspicious of any large, well-funded Muslim organization because they always have some ties to terrorism or at least some leader who doesn’t think Hamas is that bad, and I’m not tolerant of even a little of that nonsense.
Still, if we were really worried about terrorist Muslims being triumphant about 9/11, you’d think we would have built new and better towers by now.
my thought is that the Ground Zero Mosque should be Ground Zero
as in nothing, zilch, zero, nada, non-existent, invisible, un-seen, gone before it is ever built.
We should rebuild the towers and relocate the Gitmo detainees to the top floor.
The Yankees got a new stadium.
Even the freaking Mets got one.
But a new WTC?
Apparently the Mafia is making more money with it in planning stages instead of actually built.

I’m torn. Emotionally I can’t stand the thought of Muslims having a foothold in such a literal hot spot. But this is a legal matter – private property and freedom of religion and assembly. I can’t see any legal method to stop this from happening. And as much as I hate it with my heart – if our laws are not good enough for the least of us, how are they good enough for the best?
A duck is a duck. Put it in a pot, put it in a pan. A duck is a duck.
as far as I am concerned New York is not a part of America anymore!
but neither is most of the Nothern Border which is being invaded by Liberal/Canadian Muslims, or the Southern Border which is being invaded by Mexico, or the West Coast that has been invaded by Hollywood Commies, Liberals, Enviornmental Nuts and HomoSexual activists, or the East Coast which was invaded by Liberal Euro-Commie Socialist News Media HomoSexuals decades ago.
Oh my God! We are being surrounded!
I support the mosque being there on the principle of the 1st ammendment as long as I can go there with a shirt that says, “Muhammad was a pig eating son of a whore.” On the principle of the 1st ammendment.
Carpenter, there is something about your avatar that makes me chuckle.
Anyhow, Frank, I really think the best if not the only thing we can do is to rebuild the WTC with only a few minor corrections as needed and using modern building techniques. But we will not do that because there are too many morons and corrupt people in charge.
What do I think about a mosque on ground zero? I want to throw up.
It’s pretty well a disgrace. Having said that, I’d follow the money for this thing. Trace every dime donated by every source regardless of it’s location. Trace every expenditure, every bag of cement, every nail, every door. Especially have a close look at the finances of the city councillers that voted unanimously in favour of this (include their immediate families) as well as the members of commission that refused to bestow landmark status on this building even though they gave it to every other building on the same block. While I understand that there is a freedom for them to build this Cordoba mosque they have to know that it is an insult directed at those who died, their families and all (well not the progressives) Americans and yet they go ahead to do this with a start date of 9/11/2010 and a finish date of 9/11/2011 (or 12, not sure). What is this telling you about motives?
I do not want to see this built! BUT! If we think about it, it may be the best insurance policy we can build to make sure that area is not attacked again? Like they would attack their own? Maybe we can put an all pork deli next to the Mosque!
While we’re at it why don’t we put up a monument to Tojo adjacent to the Arizona Memorial? Or maybe we could fund a monument to the SS and erect it at Malmedy, France. Both make about as much sense as this proposed mosque.
I understand the legal implications and constitutional whatnot, but cant someone in city council just say it would look ugly and NY doesnt want the new skyline to look ugly? Its not racist or bias, just a statement that a 13 story mosque would make the skyline ugly. Its an asthetics thing and we would rather it not look that way.
So, was this why AirForce 1 was making those fly overs last year? They were mapping out where the best place to put this mosque? hehe, but I digest…
I think allowing the Mosque has something to do with Aligators and being ate last.
In reality it will become a NEW MECCA in which to start ones own personal Jihad.
Anyone want to finance my plans to open a Nuclear Wings restaurant in Hiroshima? Or do you think the Japanese might be a little less tolerant of such b******t than we are?
ahh…
I’m starting to realize WHY they cancelled that CBS TV series JERICHO so quickly.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, “The minarets are our bayonets, the domes, our helmets, the mosques, our barracks, and the faithful, our army.”
Building a mosque on Ground Zero is like building the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, the Cathedral/Basillica of Constantinople converted to a mosque when the Ottomon Turks conquered Turkey. The name Cordoba House hearkens back to when Islam conquered the Iberian Peninsula. It has always been the practice of Islam to build mosques upon the ground of conquered territory. That, and the Islamic doctrine of Dar Al-Islam means that land taken for Islam is always to remain Islamic.
Building the mosque on Ground Zero is like Japan taking over the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, and making it a Shinto Shrine.
Building the Mosque on Ground Zero is Islam’s way of giving the American people the middle finger, because they got away with 911.
s-t … the Cordoba House is a mosque? I thought it was going to be a giant garage full of mid size Chrysler personal luxury coupes …. “fine Corinthian leather and crystal key protection plan,” indeed……Mr. Montalban, WE NEED YOU!
My true sentiment: absolute disgrace.
Carpenter, I don’t want to seem like I’m picking on you, but I think they cancelled Jericho the show wasn’t very good. “Hey, everyone, we’re in the midst of the apocalypse and we’re running out of meat. What should we do? Let’s use all of the remaining meat for a cookout instead of making jerky!”
I’m disappointed in Science! Years ago they swore that an earthquake could cause California to crash into the ocean. At the same time, they stated that we were long overdue for a major shift in a fault line supposedly running through the middle of Manhattan. So far, Science! is 0 for 2.
Actually a Ground Zero Mosque is the perfect place for the Muslims and Liberals to assemble and detonate a Photon Torpedo. Because when it happens (not if, when) it will be easy to finger Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and all of Fox News for the unprovoked brutal attack.
Its a brilliant plan for the Libs because the evidence to exonerate the deranged murderous Right Wing Radicals wont exist. Photon Torpedos annihilate everything for a 100 square miles at the sub-atomic level so convicting the Seditious Republican Radicals will be easy as pie. It will also pave the way to Martial Law, a Holy Emporer and the New Fairness Doctrine. A BRILLIANT PLAN!!
Now all we have to do is keep the Star Trek Enterprise (and Photon Technology) away from the Liberals. Gee I’m sure glad there are no Libs in Hollywood or we would be in big trouble!
Mosque at ground zero??? I wonder if it would be considered socially acceptable to fly a drone packed with explosives into it on a Friday? I’s sorry but that really was a example of bad taste ….almost as bad as BUILDING A MOSQUE ON GROUND ZERO! WTF!! Call me when the shooting starts…..
I think that if the Muslims are going to be allowed to build a mosque at Ground Zero, they should be required to engrave the names of all the 911 victims on the outside of it…that way, the Muslims who enter the mosque will forever be reminded of what the extremist members of their religion did to this country…
I think all patriotic New Yorkers should just vandalize the **** out of the place til the losers give it up as a bad idea. Stealing construction supplies, breaking windows, setting the whole place on fire, etc. And while the police will loudly condemn such actions, they shouldn’t try all that hard to catch anyone doing it.
Maybe some guys from the mob are a bit patriotic too. We should make overtures to them to “take care of this mosque problem” and then be surprised when everyone involved with building the mosque all have accidents and wind up dead.
Let them build it, fly a plane into it then build a World Trade Center 600 ft away, since they’re so ‘tolerant’, I’m sure they’d understand.
that way, the Muslims who enter the mosque will forever be reminded of what the extremist members of their religion did to this country…
Why do you think they want to build it there??
Yeah, ya know, what with it being New York and all, even if they get it built, there’s gonna be problems wit the gangs that own the local turf. They don’t want a bunch of towel-head sand-monkeys taking over their hood. They be taggin’ that mosque every chance they get to show it belong to them, mugging the faithful, whatever.
Then the local Cosa Nostra Capo will send a few soldiers to sell the Imam some “insurance”. “Nice Mosque ya got here, be a shame if something happened to it”.
New York is self-healing. Gotta love it.
I believe it’s time to build a multi faith Christian/ Jewish activity center right across the street. They could hire Westborough Baptist church people to protest daily outside the mosque (all those gay radical islamist- it’s a cause that’s been ignored wayyyyyy too long). Missionaries could roam the block sharing the gospel with our arab brothers and sisters. Women’s groups could hold outside events highlighting the savage, barbaric treatment of muslim women and children and goats could be kept in a pen between the two buildings for the use of those who’s proclivities “roll” that way.
I think it’s an idea who’s time has definitely come. I’d send them money for it. Quick call Jerry Falwell or “the Huckster” Huckabee. I think they’re both looking for new venues.

Nukes! We have plenty…time to use 3 or 4 of the smaller ones!
I slam Islam with moose slams.
Everyone in NY should be issued paper airplanes and firecrackers to throw at the mosque, all day, every day.
