Opinions on Islam as a peaceful or violent religion range from Manhattan, where voters say 68 - 12 percent that Islam is peaceful, to Staten Island, where voters say 48 - 29 percent that it is peaceful, from blacks, who say 61 - 12 percent it is peaceful, to whites who say 53 - 28 percent it is peaceful.

There's your problem, right there. People are pretty brainwashed. "Who're you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

Common sense in New York City? Apparently Hell has frozen over...

"Liberal Manhattan accepts the mosque and trusts Islam. Staten Island, where there's controversy about another proposed mosque, is more skeptical," Carroll added.

Really? This guy needs to learn how to read his own employer's polls, because (according to the data in Q24a) less than half of "liberal Manhattan" is in favor of this mosque.

Dear Mr. Obama,

Thank you for not going to Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. There
is something very sacred about that place and about that day.
Those who bled and died for this country deserve to be honored and saluted by
people who love their country and honor their sacrifice.

You don’t belong there.

Thank you for realizing that and going to Chicago .

Opponents suggest that the mosque would dishonor the memory of the attack's victims.

Well...DUH!!!

Those who want to build the Mosque are the “Cordoba Institute”.

How many of you know what Cordoba means to Islam? Once you do then you can see exactly what this represents.

George W. Romney was creamed for even using the word “brainwashed” in 1967; now Republican primary voters are set to nominate a second Romney in 2012. The electorate never learns and never knows.

This is shocking that a majority believe Islam is peaceful. This is total brainwashing.

Cordoba, in Spain, once a Muslim conquest.
A city they’d like to have again.

'Mainstream' Islam is peaceful. It's only the 99% on the fringe who support violence.

In my opinion, Obama doesn't belong anywhere on American soil except Gitmo, where he should be sent after he is impeached and convicted of treason.

New York is too stupid to live. Sodom and Gomorrah were cities of light and excellence in comparison.

They've got two strikes against them and are still at bat wearing a blindfold.

Too bad they're taking the rest of the country down to hell with them.

Headquarters of the libtard media and every wacked out crazy concept known.

No it isn't. They'll do what they are told or be killed themselves.

The violence comes straight out of the mosques.

Muslim women are victims of islam, and logically peaceful. Muslim men routinely beat their wives, perform genital mutilation on their daughters and even kill them with some regularity. Nothing violent about that.

Using your propaganda figure, taking 1/2 of the 99% (women) that takes out the 49.5% who are "peaceful"...and leaves 49.5% who could whack out at the drop of a hat.

(Plus your 1% of a billion of course)

Doesn’t matter what the people want. It’s what the liberal elite wants. They will force upon us what they think is best for us.

Correct, but it’s not as specific.

Cordoba (in Spain) was a capital (in exile) of the Damascus Caliphate. Muslims see it as the lost opportunity to conquer the west. It is said Osama Bin Laden still weeps at the loss of Muslim Spain.

The DELIBERATE use of Cordoba here is to show that the west is to be conquered again. Every Muslim alive would know what this means. It is so obvious to them.

Muslims place holy places on their greatest Military victories. Mecca and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem are built on the top of the conquered enemies most treasuered places.

This is the same idea. When the American useful idiots see peace, the Muslims see weakness.

Put the mosque on the upper west side and see how the liberals respond.

Just for the record, have the Jersey Girls weighed in on this yet?
