I wonder if the mosque will be bathed in fine Corinthian leather?

Oh, fine, I’lll post something relevant to the topic
The Baltimore Sun’s editorial board seems to think Newt Gingrich’s opposition to the ground zero mosque is a minority position (“Freedom and religion,” editorial, Aug. 5). However, New Yorkers oppose the “Cordoba House” mosque by a whopping 61-26 percent. New York City residents are 56-33 percent against, suburban residents, 66-21 percent against, and up-staters are 64-21 percent against (Siena College survey). Surely, The Sun can’t be suggesting that the majority of New Yorkers who live in a city with over 100 mosques, are, as they characterized the former Speaker, “anti-Muslim”?
While Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo certainly have the right to support the construction of the mosque at ground zero, let The Sun acknowledge that they do so with overwhelming public opinion against them. An opinion that stems from the fact that Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the leader of the effort, has shown his contempt for the victims of 9/11 when he stated that U.S. policies “were an accessory” to 9/11 and “in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the U.S.A.” He has refused to repudiate Hezbollah, the terrorist organization behind the 1983 Beirut bombing that killed 243 U.S. Marines and continues to rain down missiles into Israel from its base in southern Lebanon. Moreover, he is an apologist for Shariah Law, the Islamic law that is used to justify the execution of homosexuals, honor killings, and death sentences carried out by stoning, which he claims is compliant with the U.S. Constitution.
Despite The Sun’s assertion to the contrary, no one has advocated or suggested that government “pick and decide which churches, synagogues or mosques can be built, and where”. (Although The Sun might have mentioned that the 90 year-old St. Nicholas Church that was destroyed when the towers came down has not been rebuilt because of bureaucratic delays.) Far from “pandering to people’s worst instincts,” Mr. Gingrich has concluded what a majority of Americans have concluded: The construction of this mosque to be dedicated on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 just yards from ground zero constitutes the political act of planting a victory flag over the U.S. at ground zero, especially with its originally proposed name “Cordoba” which signifies the historic height of Islamic conquest.
How is a spokesman for a right-winger who is running for president in 2012 pandering to his target demographic relevant to the topic? The poll that was referenced was discredited due to misleading wording. “A mosque near the 9/11 Ground Zero site” is inadequate as a description, given the facts that have come out.
Not to mention, the majority of Americans are misinformed or underinformed. Public opinion is important, but I would bet you could get 56-33 support in favor of nuking the whales if you worded the question properly.
“Are you opposed to feeding starving Christian orphans cooked fish? No? OK, nuke em.”
If hating someone for their religious believes is racist, wouldn’t hating someone for their sexual preference be racist to? Don’t feel like googling the proper definitions of racism, sexism, discrimination, etc, etc.
I am going to punch you in the sack.
What?! Why it always gotta be the topics go to network OT. The Canadians can come here!
We don’t want their kind around here.
My sack is my mosque. You would there by bring down my temple. Thats racist.

They make a brew called aviator red. Nice and hoppy. :tup:
If you build it, they will come.
Don’t worry you’re basically upgraded to American.
Aviator Red is DELICIOUS
I faintly remember tail gating the slipknot concert to some aviator and thoroughly enjoying it.
I heard it was 60 yards from ground zero but I only listen to right wing radicals. What are the facts Joe?
Question for those who are against this:
Do you want it stopped? If so, by who?
See the first page.
There’s a Staples much closer to Ground Zero. Is that offensive because they sell box cutters?
Nigger
Come on man. Just cause you don’t like how people think America should be conducted and that keeping the constitution intact is important so you want to get banned? Grow up and accept opposing views. You do realize most people are against it but are saying that they should let it happen to preserve the 1st amendment right?
