Don't speak for all Americans. Speak for the few who only believe our Constitution applies to the chosen.

I take it as an insult to America. They have a Constitutional right to do it, but I don't think it moves Muslim - American relations ahead any. As I have said before, the Constitution is pretty easy reading. Why can't anti-gun proponents read it?

Don't put words in my mouth! You're 'projecting" again, as usual. Try to remember that starting with a capital letter and ending with a period doesn't make a sentence, no matter what words you string together!

I don't think he's speaking for the few. The most recent CNN poll showed that 68% of Americans are against building the mosque while only 29% are in favor of it. I'm not saying that it proves that the majority is right. I'm just pointing out that it's a majority, not "the few".

this is why i love this country. freedom isn't lip service. a bunch of pussies run around frilling their skirts because they imagine this is an insult and not a clear demonstration of what's best about this country don't run things.

i know it's not just new yorkers making this an issue. but seriously, wtf is going on? you used to be the first ones i'd want on my side in a fight. now, the idea of trying terrorists nearby is too much to deal with and we're too delicate to have a mosque in the neighborhood? seriously?

you folks used to have backbone. i'd love to see that again.

This Political Correctness is exactly what got those people in the buildings killed in the 1st place. We let Muslim terrorists come in here n' have their way. God forbide we inconvenience any Muslims that wanted to come hang out here for years at a time. This so called religion (more of a hate group than a religion) calls for the death of those members who try to leave it. So, again, we have the hypocrisy of wanting religious freedom for themselves, but not for non-believers, or those trying to leave the "faith." Why would you give religious rights to any group that calls for killing people that try to leave it? Their prophet was in favor of at least partial mutilation of female genitalia. Tell ya what, when I hear the Imam come out against the things that are against American Laws (that you will surely say most Muslims are against,) then I'll be for the Mosque. Not before he does it. Just this last week I heard an Imam refuse to call Hamas a terrorist group. This stuff about most Muslims blah blah blah. Keep it. Have this Imam come out publicly against the things in the Koran that are against our laws. Period. Right now, Non-Muslims (in many muslim countries) get arrested for eating publicly before sundown. This is their Ramadan period. They don't believe in giving those people freedom from Islam. Soon as they get here, they want the freedoms that they refused to give non-believers in their country. You're bending over backwards for the most severe hypocrites on earth. People are denied permits for stuff all the time. Fact is they want a Mosque here to thumb their noses at non-Muslims. It's what they do. I want to hear the IMAM come out against the terror group Hamas. He wants to be that close to a Muslim terror site. I want to hear him come out publicly against all Muslim Terrorist Groups. It's against our laws for men to hit their wife. I want him to come out against the Koran on that, too. If most muslims don't do it, fine. Come out against it. Come out n' show respect for our laws.
