NYC Islamic Community Center, Mosque One Step Closer To Construction

The question is now this: Will the rank and file union tradesmen build the mosque or will they cave to the union leadership that kowtows to Obastard and political correctness?

Re:Obama as POTUS we were warned in an opinion column of the NYTimes.

No media reported this widely

read this carefully

That’s an easy one. The unions have shown themselves beholden to the dollar above all else.

How is it that some towns/neighborhoods can vote out a Hooters or Walmart just because... but not this crap?

[Gay State Conservative]

I hope that no gasoline truck driver carelessly disposes of his cigarette when passing near this newly completed house of "worship".

That would be *wrong*! ;-)

You don't get to New York much,do ya?

[windsorknot]

It really makes sense when you consider the dirtbags that New Yorkers put in office.

While I think that killing the project is a slap in the face of the First Amendment, and a sign that we’ve lost, I think it’s more important to also build a church and a temple next door.

Were I to live in NYC, I’d bring my dog waste and pork bones & refuse to the site as often as possible.

[American Dream 246]

The elites have a backlash coming, and much sooner than they think.

No they don't, and they know it. They are doing whatever they want and it works...why are they doing it? BECAUSE THEY CAN!!! If they can it's because we let them. Elections will not change anything because the rinos LET THEM. We The People should be the one who stop them but we don't. That's all there is to it.

[Darkwolf377]

They’re building it not to serve an existing community, but what they hope will be a much, much larger one in the future. Islam is expanding, and they hope someday to have millions of American Muslims coming to New Mecca aka New York, the site of one of their great triumphs.

This is an existential threat to the US. For all his flaws, I don’t hit W with cheap slams like some here because he remains one of the few political leaders who gets this.

I've read that a number of polls indicate that something like one third of Americans believe that 9/11 was an "inside job".If it's one third nationwide it's gotta be one half (or more) in NYC.

[Ramius]

Can you imagine the FDNY having to fight a fire in that building?

Trying to imagine a fire in that building....

[TribalPrincess2U]

Thanks for the non-answer.

They couldn’t pay me to go to NY.

[CincyRichieRich]

So we’re all pissed off. Let’s get past that and on to actions. Legal eagles out there:

What process or procedures lawsuit-wise can we do? Does anyone know of what filings have been done so far and what the process is from here on out? I’m dumb as a rock, so please explain assuming that. Thanks

[Gay State Conservative]

Thanks for the non-answer.

The "answer" was understood.To spell it out..New York City is liberal.It's liberal in a crazy,illogical,dangerous,Bill Ayers kind of way.It's liberal in a way and to a degree that many (including you?) can't even begin to comprehend.

Stick around here for a while and you'll understand.

Let them spend their money and build it. Then when it’s occupied, we can call these folks: http://www.building-implosions.com/

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission -- "responsible for identifying and designating the City's landmarks and the buildings in the City's historic districts" -- has decided not to assign landmark status to a building on Park Place, two blocks north of Ground Zero... Having surmounted the hurdle, a developer is now free to change or demolish the 152-year-old structure, clearing the way for the construction of a controversial $100 million, 13-story Islamic community center, which would include a mosque.

The government does not have the authority to prevent a private property owner from constructing a building on his own property, simply because the building will be used for a "distasteful" purpose.

Doesn't have the authority??? I don't know whether to LOL or facepalm that. Have you never heard of zoning law?
