A Mosque on Ground Zero? Fuggetaboutit

I'd hate to go out on a limb here, but the kindly residents of New York City must have gone mad. The proof came via a Community Board 1 voted to consider building a mosque on Ground Zero, in a 29-1 vote with nine abstentions by those who wanted time to think things over.

This is all the brainchild of Iman Feisal Abdul Rauf, head of the Cordoba Institute that is funding the $100 project. But a quick look into his past reveals that he is no choir boy himself. For his resume, with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and their infidel-ridden agenda, reads like a Who's Who guide to a Holy Jihad. If they want to build a mosque somewhere else, let them. This doesn't make me a xenophobe, as Rob implies, just someone with common decency and common sense. For it wouldn't show good manners or graces for one group to build a house of worship on something they destroyed, though I know that some disagree.

Manhattan Borough President, Scott Stringer, supports it as an "outright rejection of hatred and bigotry." In that case, he should not only take a gander at Rauf's resume but at his sound bites on "60 Minutes" where he blames the American government for 9/11.

Catholic Priest Kevin Madigan supports the mosque saying that he thinks that "they need to establish a place such as this for people of goodwill from mainline Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths to come together and talk." In that case, they can always meet at the public library, the Y or a banquet hall.

This only proves once again that some people will just jump at the chance to hold hands with everyone, stand in a circle and sing "Kumbaya."
