Yes, the haters will find another BOGUS argument about why the Mosque should not be built next to the Statue of Liberty, well for one it's a historic place, but this is actually the perfect place to have not only a mosque but a church, a synagogue a mormon temple, atheist group that wants to practice their first Amendment rights.
This is federal land and it could be President Obamas greatest moment as President, to show that religious tolerance is not just words in the US Constitution but that America DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE, period.
The Federal Government has a duty to intervene when a State VIOLATES the Constitutional rights of any American, so this gives him the authority and the power to intervene and end this travesty once and for all.
I'm tired of people saying all muslims are bad because of what a handful of clearly trouble people with hate in their hearts did.
When is this gonna stop? I mean so 2 blocks away from Ground Zero is hallowed ground... tomorrow it will be 4 blocks, next month it will be 8 blocks and by the end of the year THE WHOLE ISLAND OF MANHATTAN will be off limits to mosques and muslims.
The only good thing to come out of this debate is to show America how fucked up our leaders are, that they care more about the politics than the US Constitution is shameful and this type of willful ignorance by the media must stop, they know this is wrong and they should say so, it's their duty to report the FACTS not make them.
Like Keith Olbermann said, it's not even a mosque but an Islamic Community Center that happens to house a praying area, but if I don't call it a mosque no one will read the diary bacause thats what the MSM has put on everyones head already.
Polls do not determine MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, neither do they determine ANYONE ELSES RIGHTS.
As a Roman Catholic I would be offended if someone tells me that a church cannot be built because of some unfounded fears about my religion because some lunatics who clearly cannot be considered believers did in the name of my religion.
And neither do we come into this debate with our hands clean, more blood has been spilled in the name of MY GOD than in the name of any other GOD yet the US Constitution does not bar MY RELIGION nor any other religion and that is the way it should ALWAYS be.
