I guess you missed the part where Raouf provides material support to terrorists and is a known co-conspirator to the Holy Land Foundation that funds terrorism. I guess you don’t mind that he is getting funding for this mosque from Iran either. I know - just look the other way - that is what Clinton did for 8 years - and look what happened. Glad to see you liberals welcome another terrorist attack on America knowing this mosque will attract radical islamofascists from around the globe since it is being funded by blood money.

Timothy McVeigh cited his Christian faith — that is, his own twisted perversion of Christianity — to justify his terrorism that killed 168 Americans. Does that mean we should ban Christian churches near the site of the Murrah building in Omaha, and treat all Christians as if they were somehow associated with terrorism? That’s the equivalent of your use of “Muslims” as if it were a synonym for Al-Queda.

Every religion has a small fringe of violent extremists to contend with — sociopaths will latch onto anything. I don’t accept the “fact they are dividing our country.” It’s religious chauvinists like you — supporting others’ first amendment rights, as long as they don’t actually exercise them — who sow division, and provide ideological cover to those in both faiths who would use religion as an excuse for violence.

You’re right, welcoming people of all faiths to practice how and where they choose — even a few blocks away from the site where so many people of many faiths were killed — is not just a First Amendment issue; it’s about fighting terrorism as well.

Also - if you don’t think this is a trophy for radical muslims - why then do you think that Daisy believes this particular building was given to them by divine intervention. You do realize that this building was destroyed by a piece of one of the aircraft that slaughtered our people. How could that be delivered through divinity then unless you thought the action was through divinity as well?

I’m not buying it. Given the developers also announced they will be taking funding from Iran and Saudi Arabia - contradicting the Imam’s previous statement saying funding will come ONLY from muslim Americans - do you still think this is just about freedom of religion?

And great to meet you Mz. Libertee. Thanks so much for the kind words. By the way, I worked as a lawyer for over a dozen years, before escaping. :) I spent entirely too much time in NYC courts and am very familiar with 100 Church Street. Hope you get to enjoy that pool!
