religion should be outlawed.
"This is America, and to have a memorial service where there's no prayer, this appears to be insanity to me," said Rudy Washington, a deputy mayor under Bloomberg’s predecessor Rudy Giuliani, who organized a nationally televised interfaith ceremony at Yankee Stadium in the days after the 2001 attacks.

The mayor says all the religions. No ground zero mosque, no clergy can speak at citys commemoration of the 10 anniversary of 9/11.
religion should be outlawed.
It's a Burlington Coat Factory.
How about a moment of silence? Is that considered religious?
Silence has also been banned.
There has to be a moment of silence, isn't there?
I pray all the time and nobody even knows it other than the man upstairs. So nobody can keep me from praying.
I pray as well, I just don't know who hears it.
I really like Bloomberg for President, tbh. Dems should go ahead and start to lure him back into the party. I think he would be a heck of a President.
Based on what?
Well, for one, you can't buy a guy who's already a billionaire. He also understands how to run a business, something our leaders have been sorely lacking in for years.
when it comes to bloomberg what else do you expect?
Disaree with first statement. The rest I agree with.
bloomberg is a rabid gun-hater... although I know no one here cares about that
Hurricane Irene 'bout to do it's job.
it would be nice if irene took out those wall street s
I dont think most new yorkers want mike bloomberg as mayor now.
a lot of people who represented different religions died on 9/11. one religion should not be favored. it should be treated as a personal matter because it is.
Is there a muslim willing to go up to the podium and pray for the victims of 9/11 and their families?
The job he's done in NYC (which is basically local to me). Balanced the budget, always prepared when hits the fan (like Irene). He takes the time to inform the public both in English and Spanish.
He's a liberal on social matters and a conservative in fiscal matters. And it shows in the work he does.
We were just talking with my wife the huge difference between how Christie is handling this storm stuff and how Bloomberg is dealing with it.
The mayor’s spokeswoman Evelyn Erskine defended the decision not to invite religious leaders to speak. "There are hundreds of important people that have offered to participate over the last nine years, but the focus remains on the families of the thousands who died on Sept. 11," she said.
So it is less "banning religion" than choosing not to have any religious figures to directly speak.
He's on his 3rd term... I'm pretty sure most new yorkers voted for him all 3 times.
I'm talking about now. His popularity has gone down a bit.
Pray to whom?
Allah, wait he would have wanted all those infidels dead. I have no clue.
