New York Muslims are Sensitive, Caring, and Understanding?

Freedom is Important because People are Important
Quote: From the Assinine Press: Republican representatives and many New York residents were outspoken against the building of the community center so close to Ground Zero. "It's insensitive and uncaring," said Catherine Valence before the announcement. "If they really want to build a bridge of understanding, they should do it elsewhere. This is hallowed ground, and putting a mosque here dishonors everyone who lost their lives or loved ones in the 9/11 attacks." Now that the change has been announced, former critics of the community center have been clamoring to commend those responsible. "I thought those Muslims were insensitive for building their community center here," said Matthew Williamson. "But now that they've changed the location, I think they are sensitive, caring folks." "I don't understand," commented Bill Francis, a hot dog vendor who was opposed to the center. "I thought this was a victory Mosque to rub our noses in the attacks. I can't figure out why they'd move it just because we complained. It's like they aren't extremists at all. My world is upside down. I don't know what to believe." Peter King (R-NY), a former outspoken critic, was jubilant. "Hey, maybe most Muslims really are peaceful. Now that they've shown how sensitive and caring they are, I'm starting a 'Hug a Muslim' movement. When you hug a muslim, I'll send you this squeezy Muhammad pin that you can wear on your shirt. I think everyone in the party will be wearing one in no time."

Quote: Mosque Developer Rejects Moving to New Location But a meeting with Paterson may still be in the works Updated 5:20 PM EDT, Wed, Aug 18, 2010 The developer of an Islamic cultural center that would include a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero appear to have rejected Gov. David Paterson's offer to help them find a different site but a meeting may still be in the works. On Tuesday, Rep. Peter King said he learned the governor planned to speak with the imam and developers of the mosque and cultural center later this week. Both King and Paterson are scheduled to discuss the issue on Larry King Live tonight. Lead developer Sharif El-Gamal told NY1 yesterday no meeting had been scheduled yet. Since Paterson first offered to help broker a new location for the mosque last week, however, El-Gamal has insisted the subject was not up for debate, stressing the proximity of the planned center to Ground Zero was not an issue. "Park51 is a community center. It is two blocks north of the World Trade Center site,” El-Gamal told NY1. “In New York City, two blocks is a great distance. There are some buildings in New York that have their own zip codes. There is such a scarcity of space in New York, especially in Lower Manhattan. Keep in mind this is a small island, so we are nowhere near the World Trade Center site." http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/Mosque-Developer-Says-No-Meeting-Scheduled-With-Gov-100967889.html

Are you kidding me?. The woman MUST be removed from Congress IMMEDIATELY (preferably with a barbed hook), put in a straight jacket, and sent off to an insane asylum. Hey Nancy, tell us about these investigations, will ya hon!? You can start with Howard Dean, Harry Reid, and about half the Dem candidates, all who have said they oppose the mosque. Then investigate 911 families, then investigate me & 65% of all Americans.

I notice no cite was provided; are you afraid we’d find out just what right-wing internet fringer wrote it? I guess so...we don’t know where it came from; it’s content is full of lies and distortions; thus its credibility is nonexistent.

It is equally absurd that those who opposed it should have to be investigated. Both suggestions sound like they ought to be coming from some 3rd world dictatorship. There have been no credible accusations of a crime by ANYONE for ANYTHING. Why on Earth should any of this be investigated at all?

Quote:A few weeks ago I wrote an article From the White House to the Big House: 25 Impeachable Crimes and Counting that detailed 25 illegal acts committed by President Obama and his Democrat cohorts in Washington. It showed a President and political party willing to break the law at will in order to accomplish their political aims. Thanks to reader contributions and conservative writers around the country, here are 25 more for your consideration.

Quote:There is no proof of all the claims, some are false on their face, others misleading and/or mischaracterized, and the source itself, nothing changes my mind.
Quote:If you could provide facts about any of the accusations from a reliable source, I'd read them and investigate on my own. But the numerous DOWNRIGHT FALSE ones make the entire list questionable at best, and the source is so severely wrapped up in its own agenda, it has no relevance for me.
Quote: I'm sad you buy into it so wholeheartedly, but I don't expect to change your mind.

Quote:I try to be forthright and honest with people. I try to be civil and understanding. I try to do this always, though I have my slips and make my flippant quips. Particularly this happens on subjects of personal emotional value. When I err and injure someone's feelings, I try to have the consideration to apologize.

However, these statements do nothing to move me on the issue of the community center/mosque.

Quote:We should all wish that this President, and all future Presidents, quote and follow the Constitution. In fact, I wish this president would dig into the Constitution more often, and abide by its strictures more thoroughly. May the Presidents of the U.S. frequently remember, quote from, and follow the Constitution at all times.

Quote:Originally posted by Riverlove: I just love how the Left in America all of a sudden cares so much about freedom of religion! Since when did they ever give a rat's patoot about freedom of religion? They've been on a jihad of their own for years to remove and destroy anything to do with Christianity in America. This mosque iissue is all about sensitivity, not rights. The Progressive Left is totally disconnected with mainstream America, and they are just so used to taking the side that most Americans oppose, they've forgotten how to think and feel.
