NYC mayor disapproves of probe of mosque financing

There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia.The Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more than 100 mosques already exist in New York City. Meanwhile, there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia. In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca. And they lecture us about tolerance.

Pyroc....The Saudis are some of the most intolerant and oppressive people on earth. Do you really think we should be using them as role models in regards to the state of religious freedom in America?

Thank you cambridge

Hey, according to his Mayorship, its OK for Bloomberg to send his henchmen into Ohio and investigate gun sales at Ohio dealers, but its not OK to investigate the financing of a Mosque in New York City?

Sounds like exteme double speak to me!

"New York’s mayor says an investigation by the state attorney general into the finances of a proposed Islamic center and mosque near ground zero would set “a terrible precedent.”

Who's who in the terrorist lineup may be exposed . This may be totally politically incorrect .

who is "they"? All Muslims? Muslims in NYC? Be more specific before you paint an entire religion full of people with one brush, lest the same be done to you. (If you need a list of atrocities committed in the name of the Bible, I can oblige)

If you want to look at funding, Let's examine Fox's ties to Saudi money as well. I suppose Rupert doesn't want you to know about that.

"Thank you Mr.Obama! I guess compared to IRAN,CHINA,CUBA we are a ...Bad Country!"

Did he say that? Are you denying that discrimination against the groups you identify does not exist in America today? Quit putting words into the mouth of others. Read what it says. There's always room for improvement.

Saudis as role models, hell yes, they are a prime example of what that religion really is. Nice try cambridge on trying to downplay their role.

Let us go back to 9/11, Who long did it take for a muslim cleric to actually condemn the bombers? All you heard if you heard anything is that they were "misguided." Any clerics that might of spoke up were afraid to speak up for fear of their safety.

Remember the Ohio girl that feared for her life when she left the muslim religion! Did she have grounds, I don't know but name me a catholic girl that fears for her life if she leaves her religion.

Does a catholic woman fear that her own family might kill her if she is a rape victim because she brought shame to the family.

How easy is it for a muslim woman to get a divorce?

What happened after the ayatollahs clamped down on the forward thinking young people in Iran. Do you actually think Abajerk calls the shots in that country?

Now I know you will try to find instances of moderation but if comes down to it, what faction will call the shots in the religion, the moderates or the radicals?

Answer that one!!!

the Ayatollahs ruled with an iron fist after deposing a puppet controlled by the US. that disaster was created by the US and the CIA...deposing legitimately elected officials to prop up governments with corrupt regimes. Examine the role American business played in that mess as well. it's no wonder the country turned to extremism after the rule of the Shah.

It's very obvious that you all would like to paint all Muslims with the same brush, equating them with the farthest on the Islamic spectrum. I guess, using your powers of logic and inference, that all Christians are murderers and bombers since that's happened at abortion clinics.

Ignorance abounds here in the comment section, as I expected. Go out and meet a Muslim and then come back with your hatred.

"Just take a look at what they do TEACH their young in their religon and then tell everyone that they do NOT push hate!"
AGAIN, please define what the pronoun "they" refers to.

Ahhh the old isolationist rant...i thought conservatives were all for opening the markets. apparently that doesn't count in mosque financing. I'll remember this.

animal...it's amazing you made that inference, because that's not true. I know several Muslims who love America and are proud to be here. I guess you need a higher class of friends/acquaintances, and judging by your posts, I'd say that guess is on the mark.

Animal, check this out and then come on back.

No reply...I figured as much

" The ranking minority leader of the Homeland Security Committee says “a number” of terrorist plots have “emanated from mosques.” He cites the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center as an example."

So we should accomondate the desires of Islam ? We did on 9-11-01 except for the rogues on flight 93 that dove the plane into a field in Pennsylvania and stopped the attack on DC . Those of us aboard flight 93 didn't worry about polititical correctness .

Flight 93: Forty lives, one destiny

Also on board were four men from an entirely different world. Ziad Jarrah, their leader, had been born in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon in 1975. Outwardly, it would have been hard to know the turmoil that boiled inside him. Born into an apolitical and secular family of Sunni Muslims, Jarrah attended Christian schools as a youth, studied aviation in Europe and told the man in Florida who had taught him close-quarters hand-fighting that he loved living in America

It's not even at ground zero, and it's not an edifice to a disaster. Apparently, your independent mind will not wrap itself around the first amendment. Why is it inappropriate for any source of funding to be used? This is not funded by Bin Laden. Do you know where else Saudi money goes in this country?

While I agree that the military/industrial complex has run amok, so has international business, destroying lives worldwide. However, using that as an excuse to become isolationists, essentially burying our heads in the sand while the world turns, is ludicrous. In this age of international travel, the internet, and commerce, it would be extremely detrimental.

This mosque is all about memorializing the magnificent 19 and the sacrifice of their lives to wreak carnage upon the enemy . If they must have the mosque let them build it on a garbage barge in the bay overlooking NYC . There are plenty of other mosques in the city to accommodate the people at prayer time .

How much money and arms did the United States give to the Taliban and Al Qaeda (bin laden) when they were at war with the Soviet Union?

How much money and arms did the United States give to Saddam Hussein when Iraq was at war with Iran and the Shiites only to turn around and put those same Shiites in power and kill Saddam, the thug that was on our payroll?

I do wonder why people, the same people who wrap themselves in the flag and Constitution, are upset by any plans to build a religious building anywhere.

So much for the first amendment. apparently it only applies to Christians

TB :

"I do wonder why people, the same people who wrap themselves in the flag and Constitution, are upset by any plans to build a religious building anywhere. "

This building that they are salivitating about building at Ground Zero is only to revel over 9-11-01 .

That's funny because it's not at Ground Zero. Learn how to read there Stan.

Again, I wonder why a "devout" Catholic, such as yourself, would want to limit the rights contained in the 1st Amendment. Seeing as the nation was started as a religious haven for mainly Protestants, I guess Catholic churches have no place either.

Psstttttt . . .TB :

It's all about GROUND ZERO . They have plenty of other safe havens in NYC to get energized and plan the next attack against us .

Dear Stan, it's a few blocks away. Again, try reading.

Secondly, I find a shopping center to be a much more disturbing entity at the actual ground zero. I guess we know what you really worship.

Please define "they" so I understand to whom you are referring.

Dear TB :

I really am not very excited about rubber stamping the OK to build a mosque to commemorate the magnificent 19 . My compassionate side does give the OK to build it on a garbage barge in the bay overlooking NYC .

SO once again you dodge AND mischaracterize! Welll done Stan.

Is this the part where I equate Catholicism with pedophilia because a few Catholics engaged in it? I THINK SO

Answer the questions you blowhard.

One more Mosque make it closer to Muslims taking over the USA....

Yeah that is smart for the Attorney General to check their financial backing.....The New York Mayor Mayor Michael Bloomberg is lacking knowledge that will cause New York to be taken over!!
