Barack Obama has been hit by a furious backlash from victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks after he backed plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero. The proposed site for the 13-storey building is close to where almost 3,000 people died nine years ago after Muslim hijackers flew two jet airliners into the World Trade Center. Mr Obama expressed his support for the mosque, which will replace a building damaged by the attacks, at a White House meal celebrating Ramadan.
He said: ‘Let me be clear: As a citizen and as President I believe that Muslims have the same right to practise their religion as everyone else in this country

Obama said that 'my intention was simply to let people know what I thought. Which was that in this country we treat everybody equally and in accordance with the law, regardless of race, regardless of religion.'
Oh, Mr. Illegal, then what about the New Black Panthers being allowed to get away with the most blatant, illegal voter intimidation in 40 years, ALL BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE, and your SEIU thugs being turned loose to beat, main, and mutilate innocent, legal, nonviolent tea party protestors.

Spokesman Bill Burton said: 'What he said last night, and reaffirmed today, is that if a church, a synagogue or a Hindu temple can be built on a site, you simply cannot deny that right to those who want to build a mosque.'
Well, Billy, what about the inoffensive little Greek Orthodox (I'm Protestant) Church near Ground Zero that hasn't been alowed to rebuild yet. Looks like a wee bit of religious discrimination in favor of the murdering Mudslimes
.
Florida Governor Charlie Crist said: 'I think he's right - I mean you know we're a country that in my view standsfor freedom of religion and respect for others.
'I know there are sensitivities and I understand them.
This is a place where you're supposed to be able to practice your religion without the government telling you you can't.'
Charlie!!! Looks like you've just elected Rubio and you're still Obama's lover.
Time to build a Catholic Church right in MECCA.
Mebbie they are figuring out that Bambi is a Muzzie after all.
Wake up and smell the coffeee.
Who let him out of the tanning bed?
The backlash is coming from more than just the victims.
Hello!
His middle name is HUSSEIN!
What did you expect?
Well, fair is fair. Maybe the Church of Christian Idenity{ I think thats the name of this so-called church} should be able to build one next to a Jewish Temple.
I mean, both the Church of Christain Idenity and Muslims have the common thread, they hate Jews. That seems to be a big factor in deciding things these days.
Oooh, are we actually allowed to say that now?
I love reading the comments on articles like this in foreign papers. The majority think this will sink Obama and cannot believe Obama supports this. Those that do comment favorably about him are the most downrated comments. LOL!
Obama’s lie:
“ we treat everybody equally and in accordance with the law, regardless of race, regardless of religion.”
forget about “affirmative action” minority set-asides, quotas in hiring, discrimination in college admissions, promotion to unqualified individuals based on race and the double standard regarding “hate” crimes)
Regardless the PC propoganda, Americans full well know that islam is an unyielding religion that teaches dominance over all. Regardless of the “moderate muslims,” we also know that the so called radical muslims are just doing the will of allah’s teachings.
No matter what you do to, with or against the muslim, at the end of the day, we are still the infidel.
If living in a population of 51% muslim would be unacceptable to us, why have any?
This is great. Obama, Blumberg, and Crist, all just showed us yet again who they are. For the longest time, while government was divided, liberals with the help of their accomplices in the media tried their best to hide who they are. Now, for the last 18 months, America has had a chance to see liberalism unvarnished, unhidden, and wide open. This includes all the disdain of the elites, removal of choice, use of judges to negate the vote of millions, cramming new laws and regulations down our throat, taking our tax dollars and giving it to blue state governments, cronies, and unions, sticking a finger in the eye of our closest allies, cuddling tyrants.
I never thought they’d be this blatant about it! Thank God for that.
Looks more and more like Rubio's going to send him back to it forever after Novemeber.
Why are the towers still a hole in the ground?
This is a victory monument, without question.
The Uk Daily Mail and the UK Telegraph are the best papers in the world. The US media, newspapers, TV networks ALL support Obama including Fox/Saudia News.
The American public who support & watch TV and Hollywood movies deserve the Islamification they are about to get.
“A lie cannot live” Just words...Barry? Just words?
This is a place where you’re supposed to be able to practice your religion without the government telling you you can’t.’
