President Obama's fixation on all things Islamic tripped him up again this weekend when he seemed to give strong support to the Ground Zero Mosque project, then quickly "clarified" his way into yet more trouble. Mr. Obama gratuitously raised the mosque issue at an Iftar dinner with Muslim-American leaders, a double dose of symbolism that drew immediate fire. But just as Mr. Obama's defenders had settled on a "profile in courage" story line, the president backed off, lamely parsing his earlier statements. The president's stance on the issue is now fair game....
America's enemies clearly are delighted with the prospect of an Islamic center near the old World Trade Center site. The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, whose cause Ground Zero Mosque mastermind Feisal Abdul Rauf has supported, has backed the project. There are high-fives being exchanged in terrorist chat rooms. One user at the Alfalojah site gloated about hitting the "U.S. infidels in their capital" and offered "congratulations to the Nation of Islam."
Other voices in the Muslim world are less triumphant. Seif Naseer, professor of religion and philosophy at University of Al-Azhar in Egypt, told the newspaper Al Masry Al Youm last week, "To build a mosque on the rubble [of ground zero] involves bad faith." In the same article, Bayoumi Abdel Muti of the Islamic Research Academy said, "I reject the construction of a mosque in this place, because it would link [the September 11, 2001 attacks] and Islam." Mr. Muti is simply pointing out the obvious - no matter what the proponents of the Cordoba House say, however they attempt to justify their hated project, it will always be perceived as the "Ground Zero Mosque."

Islam is way ahead of liberals on the one religion gig. A killer does better than a pickpocket in a battle of brutes.
I say let them build the mosque and have the CIA set up the mother of all video, photographic, night vision, infrared, audio equipment all around the place.
Having done that install some moles.
Having done that inspect them for every kind of ordainance variation every day and fine them until our budget deficits is cured.
Think the Obama administration would ever violate the religious sanctity of a holy mosque suspected of harboring terrorists?
Just how inept is this man we call POTUS?
Obama is a narcisstic egomaniac. For him, it’s all about, “Me! Me! Me!”.
I remember those images from 9/11 so well. Such a sad and tragic day.
Simply put: He was agin’ it a’fore he was fer it
Well, yes, and I suspect your contention could also be made in the context of such individuals as Bill Clinton, John Edwards, and so on....
Your right. Obama thinks Americans have too much stuff and the people should be living third world style. However the ruling class should be granted all kinds of exemptions.
“I say let them build the mosque and have the CIA set up the mother of all video, photographic, night vision, infrared, audio equipment all around the place.”
Great Idea!!!
Yeah...but they won’t.
He changed his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama what else did you need
Yes, that too, but Obama seems to be a real egomaniac.
Pssst! Obama is a filthy muzzie. Pass it on.
