| B.O. defends plans for mosque near ground zero |
| 2010-08-14 |
| President Barack Obama on Friday endorsed plans for a Muslim mosque two blocks from ground zero in New York City, declaring that "Muslims have the right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country." and if you say anything bad about them, they'll kill you... Speaking at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Obama said all Americans have the right to worship as they choose. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances, Obama said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable." Obama emphasized the point as New York City is immersed in a deeply sensitive debate about whether a mosque should be built near the site of the World Trade Center's twin towers. His remarks drew agreement and vilification. It was the president's first public remarks about the mosque controversy. The White House previously called the matter solely a local one. like cops arresting some loud mouthed moron professor in Mass? The dinner was attended by over 100 guests, including two Muslim-American congressmen and ambassadors and officials from numerous Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Wonder boy just can't seem to get enough of having muzzy ass on his nose... this guy is really doing everything he can to ensure being a one-term president... |
