mosque should be built, and in that of course they join the Immam of the new mosque who was asked about his opinion about the internally designated terror organization, Hamas. The Immam's response was: "I don't want to get into politics", or if you will, "I support Hamas but it would not be politically expedient for me to talk about now. America, this is the President you voted into office...!!

All articles in the USA point to Freedom of Religion. Whereas I laud this concept and am proud of our historic stance about this fundamental right, the issue of the mosque is not about this freedom. Hamas has clearly pointed out the core issue. It is the moslem's world's absolute insensitivity and insistence about building a mosque in an area that nerves are still raw. They take absolutely no introspective responsibiltity to the murders commited on 9/11. I don't blame all moslems for the actions of a few radicals, but moslems have never asked themselves the core question :what is it in their teachings that created such monsters. In fact they have the gall to demand that the world should be sensitive to their needs.

this mosque should be allowed, only when christians' ,jews, hindus and any other religion apart from islam is allowed to build in mecca or medina and or freely in the moslem world

Sounds good. Let's agree to complete and open the mosque in NY at Ground Zero, the same day a massive church and synagogue are built and open ed in Mecha, Madina, Qum and Gaza. Agreed?

...al-Kaabah in Mecca. While the building will have a prayer room, it will serve mostly as the local Y.M.C.A. for those who need such facilities. I trust the open minded Muslims will accept the idea with open arms.

Hamas just wants to provoke an anger response from the U.S. citizens. It's what they do. There was no need for Hamas to weigh in on this subject, but because they know many are upset about it, they went for incitement, Some years ago in a conversation with a Muslim, who I worked with at the time, we talked about Salman Rushdie, and the movie "The Last Temptation" about Jesus. How both Rushdie book "Satanic Verses", and the Movie offended different religious groups. The response from Muslims was to put a death contract on Rushie, while Christians used peaceful protests. The Muslim told me...to my my astonishment...that we (the U.S.), have to much freedom. That was our problem, that the Christians were cowards, if they had the guts they would kill the author of the book, and actors in the movie, "Last Temptation. As much as argued how it went against are freedom of speech...even the most unpopular...he stated that he and many other Muslims considered our freedoms, the greatest weakness of the U.S. My point is, how do you argue with that. Hamas is now taking advantage of those freedoms. They know they can praise this Mosque, by doing so, it incites anger, and they laugh about it. Clearly the Imam would not have asked a terrorist group to speak on behalf of his Mosque. Hamas did it to flaunt it in our faces, to prove the weakness of our freedoms. That's what it means in their minds...victory...over the evil west. So here is just a taste of what Israel has to deal with 24/7, 365 days a year. For the last 60+ years.

in good company with each other!

What percentage of American Jews voted for Obama?

there were many who got doubt for intentions of Muslims near ground zero but now thanks to Hamas warm support everyone knows the malice intention of Muslims in the area. so thank you hamas for clear it up, I am preaty sure the people in the USA will love to hear about it. ti hi.

There is nothing more effective to kill this effort to build a monument to yet another Islamic atrocity than an endorsement from the Hamas terrorist group. Keep up the good work!

Even the dogs in the street know that Muslim terrorists are staying up at night trying to figure out a way to get a weapon of mass destruction into lower Manhattan.

in Mecca, and have Al-Zahar occiciate the publiuc unveiling, with a tape recorded reminder of how Muslims should build everywhere, and pray like others.... Its a 2 way street mr. terrorist psychopath who offers his children to death, while hiding himself.

Before giving advice to the USA on freedom of religion practice he should look inward & check how Christians, Jews, Bahai etc... are treated in a number of Muslim states & even in Gaza territory. How many churches & synagogues in Saudi Arabia, Irak, Pakistan, Iran ...? The problem with the planed mosque in New York is not its permission to be erected which is not contested. What bothers many Americans is that it will be close to the site of the destroyed twin towers. The sponsors of the construction project should take that feeling into consideration & revise their plans for the location..

revelations 18 in 1 hour it will be brouht down then it said that demons inheret the place then the veses said that in 1 day it is totaly destroyed and sounds like a chemical wepon only islam could do it so is revelations right before our eyes and the obama and the other clowns allowing satan to get a stong hold

Perhaps Mr. al-Zahar will be good enough to come to the opening ceremonies .... it'll be a real blast.

...will rise again in New York! LOL

Way too many. Looks like he had a lot of us -- meaning Americans -- fooled, didn't he? Me? I voted for the war hero. Can't go wrong with a war hero. And I admit that I enjoy gloating over it, too!

In answer to your question, it was 78%. The good news, however, is that Jewish support for Obama has dropped precipitously, and polls show the percentage of Jews who say they would vote for Obama the next time has dropped to about 45%. But, obviously, things could change considerably between now and the 2012 elections...although it was surprising to find that so many Jews were feeling voters' remorse.

...The All Saints Mosque", commemorating the pilots and assistants who flew into the Twin Towers by way of elevating the worship of death and destruction to the level of sainthood.

However, building a mosque on a site where Muslims killed over 3000 people, is tasteless vulgar and should never be allowed. The sad thing is, Arabs won't see it like that, they will see it as an act of war. They are on another intelligence level of understanding. I'm sure Obama will push like mad to get the mosque built on ground zero.

Won't that upset your Shia overlords?

the Jummy Carter of the Muslim world. He like Jimmy will show his true colours for the anti-semite he is.. To The American Jews: You have shit for brains..you voted in this dumb ass and it will bite you in the ass...I wont cry a river for you.

At either the JCC or YMCA, everyone is welcome regards of gender or creed. And, upon entering, NO ONE will preach to you about their religion. Infact, I could never find one thing that remotely promoted religion at either of these places. Compare that with this Cordoba mosque which is specifically Islamic, with Islamic laws, catering to Muslims, and full of praying and koranic studies. The Cordoba project will not bring improved relations between Islam and the West because it's exclusive of non-Muslims (unless they wish to convert) - and that's a violation of human rights in the US.

Don't be surprised when it's shot at, fire-bombed or blown up. We are at war and the fire that is now burning was lit by Islam. They need to watch themselves. If they think that they can just put a mosque on the ashes of the thousands who were murdered there - LESS THAN TEN YEARS AGO - and have nothing stand in their way over this, they are sorely mistaken.

78% or 45% it doesn't matter. What matters is that the Big Leftist Jewish Money will keep on flowing in support of the Obamao clique. Don't fool yourself: the majority of Jewish House members are rabid Marxist kooks. It's no secret that unlike their Israeli brethren, American Jewry is doctrinaire Marxist-Leninists (Liberal is a pious moniker for the same thing.) and it's genetic, hereditary and won't change.

Those aligning themselves with the building of a Mega Mosque near Ground Zero are in tuned with Islamist-Jihadist terrorists.

Obama presents a real conundrum. On one hand, his moslem background reveals itself strongly as he is almost with blood when he talks to hariri, abbas, when he speaks in Cairo and Ankara, when he obscenely bowed before King Fahd.Barak is a moslem period, and his sympathies lie there. Witess his defense of moslems right to build a mosque at ground zero.Americans are revolted by his orientation to moslems and he could lose the next election if the republicans nomiinate someone with half a brain unlike palin or George Bush. On the other hand, obama presents a problem for terror as the majority of moslem world is conflicted. They know obama is one of theirs so they listen somewhat which takes away some of al quaeda's strength. So we give to give obama more time because a divided terror movement is a good t hing. On the
