It is understood that the United States gives people the right to practice any religion they want. Freedom of religion is okay. People have the right to purchase private property also. Private property was purchased at ground zero by a company called Soho Properties for the cost of $4.5 million. Although, the business did not have revenues counting half this last year, they had the money to buy the property. The mosque will cost $200 million to build when completed. The $200 million is coming from foreign sources, not Americans or citizens of the United States. Mayor Bloomberg says we as people do not have a right to ask where the funding for this church is coming from. He says as you would not ask the church who put money in the basket at your church. The problem is that the funding for this church is not coming from our American citizens as our local church's funding comes from the local citizens of the church. We all must tell the government where all of our money comes from at the end of each year when we file our taxes or surely, we are committing some kind of crime. It appears we can build something and call it a church to protect us from having to answer to anyone. There are no American born citizens funding this project. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5713908/the_cordoba_house_park_51_inappropriate.html?cat=9 Foreign investment in this country is nothing new, it happens every day. The government even borrows money from foreign governments by issuing Treasury debt. If you’ll notice the $200 million that you’re so concerned about coming from a foreign source is pocket change to what our government borrows from foreign sources. Something else that is not new in the U.S. – freedom of religion. Again, pay attention to the number of religions that have been brought here from foreign cultures and then established in our country. The beauty of the Constitution is that it must be maintained to be an all-inclusive policy of human rights because any alternative would endanger the human rights of every person. It’s an all or nothing proposition – Feel safe and secure that your rights are protected, or deny those same rights to any group and your rights are in danger of suffering the same fate. http://www.ustreas.gov/tic/mfh.txt MAJOR FOREIGN HOLDERS OF TREASURY SECURITIES( in billions of dollars) China, Mainland 843.7 Japan 803.6 United Kingdom 362.2 Oil Exporters 223.0 Carib Bnkng Ctrs 165.2 Brazil 158.4 Total of All: 4009.2 That’s trillion There are many other countries on the list but these were the highest. Russia is two places under Brazil on the list presented here. Department of the Treasury/Federal Reserve Board August 16, 2010 1/ Estimated foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury marketable and non-marketable bills, bonds, and notes reported under the Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system are based on annual Surveys of Foreign Holdings of U.S. Securities and on monthly data. 2/ United Kingdom includes Channel Islands and Isle of Man. 3/ Oil exporters include Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar,Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Gabon, Libya, and Nigeria. 4/ Caribbean Banking Centers include Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Netherlands Antilles and Panama.Beginning with new series for June 2006, also includes British Virgin Islands. NOTE: I thought it was interesting to note the Oil exporters and who they were, so I included that information, directly above, as well. i'm denying nobody anything... i have said all along i just want them to put it some where else...and i know they have a right, i have heard that before... speaking of rights, the reason i posted that earlier is my wondering why bloomberg is so uppity about putting it there... then he goes on to say it's unamerican to check where they get the money to build the mosque. I believe our whole countries safety is involved here, and that's the most American thing i can think why it should be investigated. Is it ok if the money is being funded by terrorist groups? what if the people that donate the money start demanding favors, like the sleeper cells. i just posted an article about a couple in canada who had something to do with a terrorist plot. Very interesting.. I wonder if anyone knows if this mosque is a 501c actual corporation. Most churches are that is how you get a tax deduction. a 501c gives the govt. rights to a churches financials.. otherwise how would a tax deduction ever be known if it was really given though.. does anyone know if this mosque is 501c like most churches? http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=123310,00.html Exempt Organizations - Required Filings Although they are exempt from income taxation, exempt organizations are generally required to file annual returns of their income and expenses with the Internal Revenue Service. Beginning in 2008, small tax-exempt organizations that previously were not required to file returns because their gross receipts did not exceed a certain threshold may be required to file an annual electronic notice |

To hold all Muslims responsible for 9/11 is hatemongering.
Hatemongering is wrong. If we are going to hold all Muslims responsible for terrorist who chose their religion. We have to hold all Christians responsible for the terrorists who chose their religion. Etc.. and so on. And the big plus is that we have freedom of religion in this country. It does not state that we have freedom of religion in this country until a terrorist act is done by someone of your religion. Now personally we can do away will all man made religions, I have no problem with that. But we have to be fair across the board. Either we are a free religion country or we are not. And if we are not I have some suggestions to start removing religion. |

Personally i believe if our state dept is going to send out travel alerts for United States citizens traveling abroad they find these countries to be a threat to us. Even Israel is in this mess recently.
If these countries we are being told can not protect us when we are in a foriegn country then why would idealogies of these countries not under our scrutiny when thier citizens or dual citizens or when citizens have alot of dealings with these countries not fall under the Patriot act that we had to have to protect uis against Terrorists? Is not the Patriot act suppose to be a tool where our Govt. has the right uder its sole descretion to search and detain any individual corporation or religious activites that might have links to coutries where we as Americans have warned our Govt. has little control and thier or our lives might be in trouble if we travel thier. Is that not what Travel alerts and the Patriot act is suppose to be aboutr? If so then why do we not scrutinize any Mopsque that the American public brings to the U S Govt. attention as them/they/we see as a possible threat? If we throw this out then let the Govt. at least throw out the Patriot Act which is why when u get pulled over if a Police officer in his opinion u r hiding something has the right to search u and your vehicle and by pass our most basic rights as Citizens? Yet we have become so politicalized that any wave in the press and our officials run for cover to make sure they doi not OFFEND anyone. We are at WAR with terrorists who we do not know who they are. what we do know is they associate themselves with countries/people who have a common bound..religion. Does not most police work look at commonalities of people/groups to find out who they talk to spend time with where they go in thier investigations? Then why do we not expect this of our highest police forces in our land when it comes to protecting innocent citizens? We can not see our nose for the forrest. The Patriot Act was meant to protect us against any foriegn entity domestic or not. If we warn citizens of thier travel worldwide of countries we can be in danger while thier or traveling through thier because of Terrorist activities. then it is only a reasonable that these same countries and thier citizens be scrutinized when on our soil. Current Travel Warnings PrintEmail Travel Warnings are issued when long-term, protracted conditions that make a country dangerous or unstable lead the State Department to recommend that Americans avoid or consider the risk of travel to that country. A Travel Warning is also issued when the U.S. Government's ability to assist American citizens is constrained due to the closure of an embassy or consulate or because of a drawdown of its staff. The countries listed below meet those criteria. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html Korea, Democratic People's Republic of 08/27/2010 Mexico 08/27/2010 Afghanistan 08/13/2010 Israel, the West Bank and Gaza 08/10/2010 Mali 08/06/2010 Mauritania 08/02/2010 Uzbekistan 07/22/2010 Pakistan 07/22/2010 Chad 07/09/2010 Haiti 06/24/2010 Guinea 06/16/2010 Nepal 06/15/2010 Nigeria 06/15/2010 Burundi 05/19/2010 Cote d'Ivoire 05/12/2010 Niger 05/11/2010 Georgia 05/03/2010 Congo, Democratic Republic of the 04/21/2010 Philippines 04/02/2010 Algeria 04/02/2010 Lebanon 03/29/2010 Iran 03/23/2010 Kenya 03/16/2010 Colombia 03/05/2010 Eritrea 03/02/2010 Central African Republic 02/26/2010 Yemen 02/25/2010 Iraq 02/25/2010 Saudi Arabia 02/18/2010 Sudan 12/31/2009 |

As long as you link us to terrorism as well, I can agree that there should be a watch for terrorism at all levels in all religions, races, creeds, backgrounds, economic status, etc...
There are no limits to who can be a terrorist. The face of terrorism is universal. Anyone can be a terrorist. We brew a few good ones here in the states too. |

You just don't see anyone complaining about Christian terrorists and there are terrorists in all religions I am sure. So hatemongering the Muslims shouldn't be allowed unless we can hatemonger the other churches too. O. M. G. ... this is where the thought process enters 'Vapor Land' ... I havent, nor have I forgotten the history of war and government in general,,,,or how easy it is to become what you claim to be fighting against,,, |

I dont know how to post this without being incredibly negative! I completely oppose it. I understand the purpose of their whole idea, but who the hell are they to cause it then get the ten step up over Americans? Where in the hell are your brains?! I work with several middle easterners, great people, dont get me wrong, but there are several other places that this can be built. Ground Zero? Honestly? Are you trying to smack every American in the face and allow us to be walked on once again? This is just shouting, WE FORGIVE YOU! **** THAT! No matter what religion to coorolate with the distruction of 9/11, this converstaion would still be going. The only difference is our own people wouldnt have done this. Place a church for OUR people to go to in rememberance of what we have lost!!!!!!!!!!! Not true. Christian terrorists never cause a blink in the building of Christian churches. Ummm. The Crusades ended in the 13th century. The Inquisition was over 150 years ago.... Didn't we learn anything? Now, there is no significant Christian terrorism to compare with what is happening TODAY within radical islam. So the issue is how are we going to end it. 9/11 was 21st century islamic terrorism. No comparison with abortion doctor snipers here...Know what I mean? When an abortion clinic is bombed or an abortion clinic doc shot, noone says "We best not build that Christian church two blocks down from where that Christian terrorist killed". See the point. You just don't see anyone complaining about Christian terrorists and there are terrorists in all religions I am sure. So hatemongering the Muslims shouldn't be allowed unless we can hatemonger the other churches too. Ridiculous. You can't reasonably compare an abortion clinic attack with the thousands killed by islamic terrorists as in the WTC center bombings. Multiple airplane hijackings...the scale (ahem) is just slightly different. Moreover, every time there is such an abortion doc shooting or clinic bombing there certainly IS a justifiable backlash against those who advocate such reprehensible and terroristic attacks. As there should be. So sure. So what big deal. I would think that the same principle applies. If there were a church whose adherents advocated and successfully carried out the massacre of thousands of innocent people (but there isn't) I would not be for having them erect a 15 story recreation center at the scene of their crime either. No matter what religion they were. But like I said...there is not such other religion at this point in time so it is a silly argument and irrelevant to the issue at hand. |

Does not most police work look at commonalities of people/groups to find out who they talk to spend time with where they go in thier investigations?
Then why do we not expect this of our highest police forces in our land when it comes to protecting innocent citizens? doesnt most police work look at a SUSPECT first and then commonalities of other suspects? and is it worth treating innocents like suspects to supposedly 'protect' those same innocents,,,,? |

Nobody paid attention to Adolph Hitler's book Mein Kampf before WWII. He outlined his plan and made it happen with help from a hand full of men he met in Prison. His political Party led to damn near exterminating all Jews in Europe as well as damn near conquering the European half of the world.
The Quar-an should be viewed exactly like Mein Kampf and not ignored or over looked or reinterpreted to pat someone's over bloated sense of tolerance. Ego Masturbation and Appeasement dropped the world into a vicious war consuming the lives of MILLIONS of people. Islam is based on hate and intolerance. The IDEALS AND RELIGION of ISLAM and its supporters and clergy ARE the enemy. The subjugated people under it are innocent just like so many European Christians under the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Like PT Barnum said, There is a sucker born every minuet. When Islam throws aside the Quar-an and adopts a more tolerant stance on others not of their faith I will not trust them at all. I don't want them adopting Christianity just to appease me. I just want them to change the ideals of their faith concerning us Infidels and what is ours! But their traditions will not let them change so I must oppose them! It isn't my hate for them that makes me feel this way, it is their hate for me as written in the Quar-an that did. I feel they have spelled out every reason to fear Islam in their own "Bible." I would think the shart written in the Quar-an actually be the contents of the Necronomicron instead! Why isn't it the bible of the Satanics? It sure is dark stuff. Quite comparable to the Old testimate of the bible with more vengeance and revenge! Toss in mutilations and wife beating, a little child Porn, and you got an instant hit in the third world. |

Well, if Dragoness wants all man made religions removed, then we can completely remove Islam and even their political realm since Islam is both their religion AND their politics.....thus violating the so-called "Separation of Church and State".
If we do this, then Islam automatically becomes illegal and un-Constitutional. |

" their religion AND their politics.....thus violating the so-called Separation of Church and State" "Islam automatically becomes illegal and un-Constitutional. " Just those sections are really confusing. How by all that is logical are the policies, politics, system of government of other nations controlled by the US Constitution? Sorry to inform you that the Constitution has no relevance outside of the US. Other nations are not bound by it. Some may have chosen to use it as a guide of their own system but it has no legal standing outside the borders of the US or it's territories. |
