Sure politicians are going to jump on the bandwagon but it isn't all political.

Yes, it is. Why else would you care? The pols gotta find a new non-issue to whip us all into a frenzy, now that gay marriage is quietly becoming legal in more and more states, and nobody gives a rat's ass who burns a flag.

Without some emotional stupidity to set us at each other's throats, we might suddenly realize how fat our politicians are becoming on our money -- they ain't worried about a  social security meltdown, they have no nagging doubts about the health of their pensions, and no matter how broke the post office is, they will never buy stamps.

Why on earth would anyone care where a bunch of idiots who are scared of ghosts lift prayers and votive offerings to their pet neurotic deity -- so long as they don't do it on the fifty-yard-line during playoffs?

Can you substantiate this custom of building mosques on conquered ground because it sure smells like hillbilly, right wing, rhetoric to me and a quick review of the websites spreading this bullshit bears this out.

Yup. I googled it too, Ex. All I found were a whole bunch of hysterical anti-raghead (can I say that? They did.) websites and nutcase blogs.

I went back several pages and saw nothing; how about you post the link so I can tell you why your source is bullshit.

Notice the Muslims who also say the mosque should not be built here.  Listen to the people instead of the news media....

Seriously?  That's your source?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

So you don't have a source nor do you have an answer for the question of how the sites for the numerous other mosques in NYC constitute 'conquered ground'.  I expected as much.

I can't see what the Muslim are doing is wrong, illegal, immoral and it's differently not against the Constitution.

I should just let this go, but Troll...I agree there is NOTHING illegal or is it unConstitutional...but it IS wrong....

to me it is just plain simple and so clearly wrong.....an example, It is perfectly legal and Constitutional for me to go into an all black church wearing a white robe and use the N word....but I SHOULDN'T do it, all rights aside, I would be profoundly wrong, and have enough respect and sense NOT to ever do such a thing....the people of NY City and America as far as that goes, has said as much, they do not feel this is the "right" thing to do....and yet, it is being done, almost with a thumbed nose.....

I take no remorse what-so-ever in standing against this ONE partiuclar event.....to me it is a clear case of right and wrong....

That might have a little more impact if you didn't say or infer it about every stand against every like event.

Opponents to the building of this mosque need to pay a lot closer attention to the overall picture here. You may or may not support what this group plans to do with the property they own, and that is your right. But at the end of the day the bottom line is how I feel or how you may feel about it is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that this country was founded in part upon freedom of religion, (or freedom from it), and that is an absolute right extended to all by the constitution. Period!

Attempting to interject personal feelings as a means of influencing authorities to create some kind of exception surrounding this unquestionable right, is insidious territory to tread upon. Allowing it to come to pass would be like removing the keystone from the foundation of this entire nation, and when the tables are turned upon you in the future, and make no mistake if this is allowed to happen then they will, you will regret your actions and words in this day.

As many have stated here in the past; "Its the Constitution!"

If you refuse to watch the video then don't bother to comment about it being posted.  If you had watched it maybe just maybe you might understand why they, the people of NY, are object to the mosque being built there.

I agree, but it does NOT mean we have to like it, or that we should NOT encourage this to happen.....and the very right to disagree with things we do not like is at the core of our Constitution...

again, not one person is claiming that it is un constitutional, nor are the saying it is against any law.....we are merely exclaiming, that the location of this mosque is NOT one that the majority of Americans are in favor of, and we are questioning the motives behind this move....

If the tables are turned, and it may very well happen, I will STILL stand on what I believe is RIGHT or WRONG.

Your video is an attempt to divert attention from the lies you're spreading (again) and has nothing to do with the question I asked.
