BREAKING: Muslim Leaders Decide Against Ground Zero Mosque
The Right Sphere ^ | 8/16/10 | Brandon Kiser

Posted on 08/16/2010 1:32:09 PM PDT by peggybac

fter weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero – the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York - it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site.

The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.

Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days.

New York Governor David Patterson said last weekend that Muslim leaders had rejected outright his proposal to swap the site in for another in Manhattan.

Who would have thought the Muslims leaders had more common sense than our Democrat “leaders” who saw no problem with it. Half the damn Republicans in Washington saw no problem with it either.

What a Fu**ing waste our republic has become.

Rightsphere has it from Haaretz. Here is a link to the Haaretz story: http://www.haaretz.com/news/international/muslim-leaders-to-abandon-plans-for-ground-zero-community-center-1.308426

I just told hubby that Haaretz is like the NY Times of Israel, but is that right?

I certainly DO hope this is true!

They will probably not call it “Cordoba House”, and only build it 6 floors high.

“Muslim student hit a Jewish, Democrat lawmaker in the face with a pie today. I think they want off the front pages now because the bad PR truth about Islam is getting out.”

You got it.

The dirty cockroaches scurry into the shadows, hide from the light of public awareness.

If true, this is very interesting. These people will do NOTHING unless it is in their own best interest. And having 16 hundred years of practice at being utter thugs, they’ll certainly not back down due to “bad press” or the negative sentiments of the American public. Let’s see if the story is factual. And don’t expect to get any truth from the MSM as to reasons.

Don’t believe them. Remember, they lie to achieve their agenda.

“So while we’re all friends now, when do we get to build that pentecostal megachurch in Riyadh? When is that catholic cathedral going up in Dhahran?”

Or how about a synagogue at Mecca? Probably won’t see any of this. Remember—they are the ONLY true religion and we are all infidels.

They can get to be the, “good guys.”

Too late for that.

Is this a retreat or merely a flanking movement?

Seems their PR team is better than Obama’s.

Fellow Freepers, I have one word for you:

TAQIYYA

If you don't know what that word is or what it means, look it up. Because of the practice that word encourages, I wouldn't trust a muslim as far as I could throw my minivan.

Exactly. They’ll just wait until November 4th, then announce they’re building that moslem toilet after all.

No matter what the outcome, we’ll always know Obama stood with them.
