Obama supports freedom of worship, not "Mosque near ground zero."
The rest of this is spin.
Tolerance is an at ude and nothing more.

cant blame obama for going this way. you can pick and in between with this issue. people will go nuts. gotta be one or the other, so obliviously he went with the freedom of religion thing. personally i dont think you can stop them from building that mosque there without ignoring the religious freedom principles, however it is puzzling they chose that spot to build it. in short i dont support the mosque there in fact it makes me a lil mad, but you cant take their right away to do it.
i think somebody is going to take action in their own hands and expect something to happen violently TO that mosque.
bull , he sugarcoated the meaning of the mosque being built there and lied through his teeth about the egalitarian doctrines of islam..
He further committed an error by further contributing the public's ignorance on the concept of individual rights by focusing less on private property, instead he made it a display about religous tolerance, not only that we have to "like" the Mosque's builders gesture, but that tolerance is an American duty.
This president has shown that he has disdain for American philosphical tradition.
In essence, I side with him on the owners right to that land, but his message and his defense of it was de able.
Did you mean more news at 9:11?
Well, two things bother me. First of, the Orthodox church that was destroyed when the towers came down cannot get permission to rebuild. The second is that the leader of the new mosque is an avid promoter of Sharia law.
You would think that the other church has dibbs on rebuilding.
no, but that's probably cause the people proposing and building the mosque own the land there, near ground zero, and not the land a few miles away. It's not like one can tear up an acre lot and move it down the road a few miles to some empty vacuum where no land already exists.
you neighbors are probably like: really, dumb ? why can't you move your house and lot a couple miles down the road? really? why couldn't you move somewhere else? really? why did you have to move this neighborhood?
Damn rule of law....damn you obama
So he likes sharia law....who cares
Just how is sharia pronounced anyway? For years before hearing it in the news, I always heard it pronounced with the "a" being a second vowel, making the "I" long. A two syllable word, not three.
shu-rye
What a bull non-issue made out to be something more. If this was a Catholic cathedral nobody would give a . And, it's probably not a good idea to add to the 'living Cons ution' the idea that community reaction can cir scribe religious freedom.
Hey, the country's going bankrupt and you're worried about something this ing stupid. you.
How dare you? This is Important(tm).
We can't do anything about that till november anyway.
We have enough free time to spew about this PC bull in NYC.
The Orthodox church can be rebuilt on its original site at any time.
He's Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, after all.

and that was the first time in his life to get marinated in sea water, I suppose, even though he was born in "Hawaii"...
Why do you suppose that?Where do you think he was born?even though he was born in "Hawaii"...
This. The whole issue, regardless if building the $100,000,000 mosque is the "right" thing to do, is showing a lot of hypocrisy which itself could be the work of the media and maybe most Americans don't feel as strongly one way or another. The critics are so quick to sensationalize to get knee-jerk reactions out of readers, but it's nothing new.
I'm more offended that OBL has managed to dodge us for so long, and that 9/11 was used as a pre-text for 2 wars that have cost us many resources and lives while giving us nothing in return. The 9/11 families need justice, and our country needs to pursue the masterminds, not a religion.
Where in the article does it say it was the first time he was in sea water? Just curious...
Oh dear god...someone on Fox actually agrees with the president...what the is going on here...
"Sponsors of the proposed mosque near Ground Zero are not slamming the door on Gov. Paterson's idea to build the center someplace else.
"We are open to a conversation to find out more on what the governor has in mind," "

Great going Obama. Talk about pouring salt on wounds.
Gingrich, Bolton, Breitbart Team Up With Far-Right Muslim-Basher Geert Wilders For 9/11 Rally
confirmed list of speakers includes former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, Andrew Breitbart, and, notably, the far-right Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders. “Islam is not a religion, it’s an ideology,” Wilders told the Guardian in 2009, “the ideology of a re ed culture.”

Wilders dyes his hair blond as a signal that he's a true Aryan.
Jean-Marie le Pen/Franch National Front used to do the same:

France has about 6M Muslims (from the North African former colonies, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco), out total population of 60M.
