Seven in 10 NYers want mosque moved

Move the mosque!

Seven in ten New Yorkers say the proposed mosque/Islamic community center near Ground Zero should be relocated because of opposition from 9/11 families — and an equal number want state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to probe the group’s finances, a new statewide poll released today found.

“Overwhelmingly — across party and regional lines — New Yorkers say the sponsors ought to voluntarily move the proposed mosque to another location,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

The survey of 1,497 of New York residents found:

* 54 percent agree that “freedom of religion” gives Muslims the legal right to build the mosque on Park Place, while 40 percent disagreed and the rest were undecided.

* But 53 percent also said Muslim developers should not be allowed to build the mosque near the World Trade Center site in deference to sensitivities of 9/11 relatives, with 39 percent opposed and the rest undecided.

It is obvious that Democrats and politicians in DC have forgotten this. Apparently, many in NYC have forgotten as well. Just ask Kapo Bloomberg, Kapo Emanuel, Kapo Boxer, Kapo Feinstein.

Well the wants of 7 out of 10 NYers is no match for the desires of 7 out of 10 Saudis. Look, when you are a broke state, you really aren’t in the drivers seat anymore. When will the NYers get that? Those silly NYers, they act like they own the place or something.

It isn't going to happen because the mayor and the city won't take any steps to prevent it. They point out, quite rightly, that the Muslims have the right to build the mosque there and that the Constitution has no protection against being angered by the legal acts of others.

Having said that, turnabout is fair play. Someone should buy the building across the street from the mosque and open a barbecue restaurant. Maybe a Honeybacked Ham shop as well. Because after all, they have every legal right to do so. And if the presence of pork offends the Muslim sensibilities, well, there are no Constitutional protections against being offended, are there?

Couldn’t figure out whether this poll is of New York CITY or New York STATE residents.

Do those dumb buts know that if there was a muslim takeover of America they would be the first to have their throats slit? Pretty stupid people in my book or maybe they just have a death wish.

“freedom of religion” has nothing to do with building something anywhere. It has nothing to do with this mosk because the people building it are not in a religion, but in a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.

Leftists are privately scared of “the religion of peace”. That’s what’s really going on here. The idea of building the mosque at Ground Zero is really to create much attention (both positive attention and negative attention) towards just the idea of a Ground Zero mosque, while, also, redirecting all of Obama’s troubles, all of the Democrats problems, and all RINO problems away from many people’s minds. Leftists love any and all distractions from their ongoing and worsening problems.

I have followed this with mixed feeling....we have this thingie called the constitution and bill of rights, and in it is the peskie amendment, the first one...If seven out of ten new yorkers disagree with this, and if the nation disagrees with this, why not send in money and buy the damn land? I guess that to many people want to have the feds impose a law ( making those who want this law imposed at the best anti-constitutionalist, at the most socialist communists) c’mon........send in donations and buy the property...

Seven in Ten New Yorkers want the mosque moved despite the Property Rights provisions guaranteed to us by the Constitution.

Seven in Ten New Yorkers want to Ban Handguns despite the Right to Bear Arms provision guaranteed to us by the Constitution.

Just say no!!!

For the UNknowing, the UNaware and the wary,

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

The sooner America learns this , the better. Some know and many do not, but it is a threat to everything America knows.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

After viewing the two, reconcile our observations.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. As a Muslim, he knows this, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

Sharia is contrary to America, its rights , freedoms , liberty and democracy.

‘Tyranny of the Minority’..as Mark Levin puts it!

Could you please point to the place in the Constitution that states that the Will of the Majority can override what is outlined in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

And if you believe that, do you also believe that if the majority favor gun control that a city, county or state can ban the gun ownership despite the 2nd Amendment?

Leftist dhimmis are quick to refer to The First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ...

However this is NOT about Congress on the Federal level. This is a local government issue and the people have a right to decide the issue of a mosque being built in their community. Businesses have a right to operate but they have to abide by local zoning laws as well.
