A Ground Zero Mosque?
It's a disturbing proposal - a plan to build an Islamic mosque near Ground Zero - the sacred site in New York City where thousands of Americans were murdered by Islamic terrorists in the attacks of 9-11.

As one father who lost a son in the attacks put it: "to put a mosque two blocks from ground zero is ludicrous."

He's absolutely right. And consider the fact that the Imam behind this mosque has a record of support for causes tied to terrorism - and now there are even new reports that the Imam was one of the key financiers of the Gaza-bound flotilla that carried terrorists determined to attack Israel.

In New York, opposition continues to grow to the plans to build this mosque near Ground Zero. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is adamant about his opposition to the plan.

In a radio interview, Giuliani said: "It sends a particularly bad message, particularly if you knew the background of the imam supporting this. This is an imam who has supported radical causes, who has not been forthright in condemning Islamic terrorists, and the worst instincts that brings about." He continued, "Nobody would allow something like that at Pearl Harbor. Let's have some respect for who died there and why they died there. They died because of Islamic extremist terrorists," he said. "They are our enemy. We can say that. The world will not end if we say that."

At the same time, there's support for this project. Even, New York Mayor Bloomberg has said he backs the plan.

That's why it is critical to take a stand now - NO mosque at Ground Zero. We're sending a letter to the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and the City of New York urging officials to reject this proposal.

Stand with the ACLJ and oppose this troubling plan. Add your name to our letter today.

Right Wing: Mosque at Ground Zero is a "Slap in the Face"
This Week in Conservative Media
Plans for the construction of a mosque just two blocks from Ground Zero are prompting outrage in the blogosphere, but the emotional reaction appears to falling on deaf ears. The Cordoba House project, according to CNN, calls for a 15-story community center that would include a performance-art center, gym, swimming pool, and a mosque. So far there seems little indication the city will do anything to appease those opposed to it.
"The time for a center like this has come because Islam is an American religion," Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, told CNN. "We need to take the 9/11 tragedy and turn it into something very positive.” According to the New York Daily News, Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, who helped found the Cordoba Initiative following the 9/11 attacks, said the project is intended to foster better relations between the West and Muslims, but if conservative commentators are any indication of the reaction, the mosque is opening, not healing, old wounds.

According to the American Thinker’s Ethel C. Fenig, “ Placing the center close to the site of the late World Trade Center will not promote healing and as for promoting a ‘better understanding of their religion’ it would certainly be a constant reminder of the evil its capable of.”
Ruthfully Yours blogger Madeline Brooks calls it “a slap in the face.” Like many opponents to the mosque, she brings up building-permit issues, an effort that feels like a desperate measure to stop in the inevitable. “Still another unsettling part of Rauf’s problem mosque is why the city has given the building a pass. Records for the Department of Buildings have shown numerous complaints for illegal construction and no access, yet the issues were listed as “resolved.” The recent Times Square bombing attempt is also brought up as a reason for Mayor Bloomberg to stop to the mosque from being built. “If not, he will be helping to provide a handy meeting place for future terrorists, those who understand Imam Rauf’s real message: Speak sweetly, appear to be a well-adjusted member of American society, and plan the destruction of America, either with bombs or ‘peaceful’ undermining.”
But the plans for the mosque have been apparent for months, if not longer, and the complaints have had little influence. Last year WorldNetDaily’s Chelsea Schilling collected reader responses when news of the mosque was first unveiled. The protest? Sound and fury, signifying nothing—so far. “Who wants to bet this place becomes a "tourist attraction" for Muslims? This mosque will become one of Islam's holiest shrines as it sits upon the site of their greatest modern military victory,” wrote one. Another reader, seeming depressed by it all, simply added: “Good idea. Maybe terrorists will be less likely to bomb this area if there's a mosque there."

It would be a disturbing proposal, if the part highlighted were true.

Yup. What an absurd propaganda piece in the OP.

Was America Attacked by Scary Moozlems on 9/11? (http://davidraygriffin.com/articles/was-america-attacked-by-muslims-on-911/)

Begs the question, how many slap-in-the-face synagogues are in the vicinity of "ground zero"?
