NYC community board OKs ground zero mosque plans

05-26-2010 • AP

After hours of contentious public comment, a New York City community board voted late Tuesday to support a plan to build a mosque and cultural center near ground zero.

The meeting was unruly, with project opponents jeering at speakers and yelling comments such as "You're building over a Christian cemetery!" while holding signs that read, "Show respect for 3000," among other things.

Lets think about this for a second, what if I wanted......Say.......A Timithy McVie shrine built On or near the federal building site, what do you suppose my odds would be ? This Is'nt anything I would want but for lacking a better Idea how far do you think I would get ?? Hardly any difference In my book.....

Unacceptable!

This is America we dont let foreigners practice their religion any way and anywhere they choose especially if some radical nutjob claimed to be part of that religion and did something bad. Unless of cousre the jews and Israel did 9/11 which is believed by quite a few people on this particular website.
