He isn’t just claiming another religion, he’s insisting that YOU TOO are a muslim.

This is a theocratic edict and an outright violation of the First Amendment.

Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Soros, most of Hollywood. It’s amazing how many really, really rich people are completely insane and/or utterly stupid.

He disappeared from the scene just as Al Gore has in the wake of multiple sexual molestation reports coming to light.

Well, he doesn’t speak for me so I’m not worried about that part. I think his family should have him checked for organic brain disorder.

Guess he never heard:
“There is no other God than Alah and Mohommad is his Prophet”

Wonder if the American Indians would help the real Americans take back our country?

Bloomberg concluded, in words that echoed John F. Kennedy's "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a jelly donut) speech, "let me declare that we in New York are Jews and Christians and Muslims, and we always have been. And above all of that, we are Americans, each with an equal right to worship and pray where we choose. There is nowhere in the five boroughs that is off limits to any religion."

Since "there is no place off limits" that must be why NY traffic grinds to a halt five times a day as the overflow crowd from the existing mosques throws down their prayer rugs in the middle of the streets.

I do not see in the article where Bloomberg said “We are all Muslims.” The article quotes him as saying “let me declare that we in New York are Jews and Christians and Muslims, and we always have been. And above all of that, we are Americans, each with an equal right to worship and pray where we choose. There is nowhere in the five boroughs that is off limits to any religion.”

His last sentence is in error. The ACLU and courts have seen to it that all government space is off limit to all religions.

Lt. George Witton: Why did they do this to us, Harry? Why?
Lt. Harry Morant: They have to apologize for their damned war. They're trying to end it now, so they need scapegoats . . . . George! We're scapegoats to the bloody empire!

shrill Republican silence in the face of the "Obama is a Muslim" nonsense

"Shrill" silence?

The lengths these skunks will go to contort the language -- simply Orwellian.

Being NYC i am sure we have plenty of atheists here too. I wonder how they are taking this statement?
As for myself i am Catholic. I may respect other faiths but only those deserving of my respect. Islam isn’t on that list but then again claiming that it’s a religion doesn’t make it so.
To those like Bloomberg who would call me ignorant (or whatever term they may choose) for making that claim I say to him,to them,that no religion has within its sacred tests rules for ruling over over faiths nor treating half the human race like some farm animal nor encouraging the use of children for pleasure. These are the things associated with barbarians,with the ignorant,with the morally deficient.
Never again take it upon yourself Mr Mayor to tell people that i am in any way associated with muslims in way shape or form.

I believe a shrill silence in this sense means their reluctance to condemn the protesters,to speak up in favor of the mosque is actually screaming their opposition to it. In effect applying an action to inaction.
