NEW YORK – Hundreds of family members of Sept. 11 victims recited loved ones' names through tears on the ninth anniversary of the attacks Saturday, avoiding direct mention of the political furor over plans for a mosque that later drew thousands of protesters on both sides.
After the ceremony, around 1,000 activists rallied about five blocks from the site of the 2001 attacks to support the proposed Islamic community center. Several hundred others rallied nearby, chanting "USA, USA" and "No mosque here."
Speaking at the Pentagon, President Barack Obama alluded to the controversy over the mosque — and a Florida pastor's threat, later rescinded, to burn copies of the Quran. Obama made it clear that the U.S. is not at war with Islam and called the al-Qaida attackers "a sorry band of men" who perverted religion.
"We will not give in to their hatred," Obama said. "As Americans, we will not or ever be at war with Islam."

Rather begs the question, doesn’t he? But Islam is at war with us.
Never Forget!
Anyway see this:
Obama disgusts me. He plans to surrender, I guess.
He took an oath to uphold the Constitution. What part of Sharia law respects our Constitution?
A freeper posted this link, which should go out to everyone’s email list. And, it should be sent to everyone’s Senators and Congressperson.
We don’t want anyone saying they didn’t “know” the truth about Islam.

We do not read much about how the twin towers will be rebuilt, just that larger and higher tower or towers are being built in a Muslim country, and a Mosque to be built in the shadow of where the towers once stood to mark the skyline of New York City.
When is Mayor Bloomberg going to rebuild the towers? Or is he too busy getting a Mosque built? What about rebuilding the Greek Catholic Orthodox Church? That church was there and was damaged by the Muslims. There are 100 Mosques already in Manhattan; none were damaged by the 9/11 terrorists.
Or is religious tolerance only for Islam?
Casts a shadow?
9/11 was Islam -- all the way.
1000 muslims and supporters totally insensitive to the survivors of 9/11(Which are the majority of Americans).
There's his problem. Barry is too incompetent to understand that sometimes, don't have a choice. You have to know the difference between declaring war against somebody and somebody declaring against you. Barry, your muzzie buddies hate America. THEY are at war with us whether we want to play or not. The Great Satan thing! Get it?
Which is very , very good.....
Creeping Shari’a is amongst us.
First of all, it isn't up to Bloomberg to "rebuild" the towers. Second, it was clear shortly after 9-11-2001 that the twin towers were never going to be rebuilt. Too many victim's families objected, on the grounds that the footprints of the towers were now "hallowed" ground. Additionally, many didn't seem to have the guts to rebuild them.
What is being built is a single tower 1776 feet tall, which is well under way at this point (36 stories so far). See the link below for more details.
What we need is a President who is pro-America (DUH!) and won’t take crap from anyone. Two days after taking office, they should announce an all-out war with Islamic terrorists, and, by association, Islam itself.
Demands all who practice Islam in America to denouce it within 48 hours. All who do not are instantly deported, WITHOUT their belongings (or whatever they can carry) and taken to some country who might take them.
Threaten that if ANY Islamic terror acts happen ANYWHERE against an American or an American interest, we will, at a time of our choosing, eliminate Mecca. Any American harmed in a terrorist act, and one Middle Eastern capital of our choosing disappears. More than 10 American harmed, and they ALL go away. AND...the same applies to our ally, Israel. Mess with them, you lose a capital city.
Tell Russia and China to stay the F out of OUR affairs.
(I say this, knowing it is a fantasy. Won’t happen in my lifetime, unless by a utter miracle of God.)
“Around 1,000” pro-mosque and “several hundred” against? Why am I suspicious?
Barry my boy, my Momma always told me to never say never.
e will not or ever be at war with Islam.”
The hell we won’t.
How dare these people besmirch our day of rememberance.
And Zero? SHUT UP!
Thanks for the link to the new World Trade Center. It will be taller than the original twin towers. By what few snippets of information that I see related to Mayor Bloomberg, I got the impression that there was no new WTC, only a Mosque. Maybe sometime in the past he talked about the building to replace the twin towers.
Given that the NY legislature initiated the building of the original twin towers, I would think that the local jurisdiction (e.g. the mayor) would have some role in the building of the original towers and its replacement.
It makes sense not to rebuild the twin towers exactly where they were originally situated. Also there were design flaws that contributed to the collapse; maybe these flaws cannot be remedied so easily, not to mention dealing with the psychological affects of having the same design, only being told that this time it is okay.
