"WASHINGTON — After skirting the controversy for weeks, President Barack Obama is weighing in forcefully on the mosque near ground zero, saying a nation built on religious freedom

must allow it (emphasis added)." Pr 22:6. Obama uses the opportunity of his new Iftar Ramadan dinner tradition at the White House to come out in favor of a mosque at ground zero.

"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country," Obama told an intently listening crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan." Full text

"The developers behind the Islamic center planned for a site near Ground Zero won't rule out accepting financing from the Mideast -- including from Saudi Arabia and Iran...'I can't comment on that.'" Full text If the aim of building the mosque/Islamic center were truly to promote religious tolerance, they would welcome people not of their faith there.

"We must remember that a practice associated with conquering Islamic armies was the construction of a mosque at the location where their triumphant battle was won. Thus, this modern Islamic organization is seeking to build a mosque at the site of 9/11 attack—an attack which was carried out by 19 Muslim hijackers who considered their mission holy war...[A] Muslim house of prayer that would be cemented in the ashes of catastrophe at the foot of New York's lost Twin Towers would be a symbolic victory flag for Muslims who seek the destruction of America."

Should mosques be built in our country? Yahoo Q & A Government" Paternal functions of, Gen. 41:25–57. Civil service school provided by, Dan. 1:3–20. Maintains a system of public

...Islam is not just a religion, it is a movement of war (Jihad). The U.S. must outlaw Sharia like Nazism, or terrorism. We make it illegal to advance the cause of Sharia. We must not allow Wahhabists to build mosques--close the spigot. We are being invaded.

Sharia has been established in Great Britain and the U.S. is next. Dearborn, Michigan has a system of Sharia instead of the U.S. system. The Quran is a Constitution itself. When Keith Ellison swore to honor it, he swore against the U.S. Constitution. Our system is based on Judeo-Christian (not Islamo) ethics.

Muslims condemn terror in English only. Anything Islamist is the enemy. It's really a war on Christianity. It is an attempt to destroy Christianity globally. It is an occupation. We must defend the Constitution of America. By peace he will deceive many (Dan 8:25). Islamic enemies have a façade of peace. They express "peace" violently.

Muslims left their lands to experience our freedom (Jn 8:36). Now, they'd like to pervert our nation to be like their own. Not allowing Muslims to build a mosque at Ground Zero does not restrain their freedom of religion.

Some conservative leaders say we should build Hooters, strip clubs or McDonald's in the Middle East to even the playing field. Is that really the answer? :doh: We are to live in the world and not of it (Ro 12:2, Jn 15:19).

Others say, let them build their mosques here in the U.S. If they come from all over the world, we can share the gospel with them. Where in the Bible does it tell us to allow the enemy to set up camp in our midst? Deut. 26:16–19. Our founding is based on God and his word in scripture. Government is given by God to restrain evil not--to promote it or give it free reign.

Buildings down, mosque up?--perhaps Obama will get his :Commie: fundamental "transformation" :CRASH: after all. Obama is not a Christian --what kind of Christian attempts deny the reality of our Judeo-Christian founding? "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation (Obama)." Michelle Obama plans to change history if need be. :peach: Obama did not even have the decency to call the site of Islamic terrorism where 3000 of our citizens were murdered "ground zero". He called it rather "lower Manhattan". New York city is far from hallowed ground but a new mosque in the heart of Sodom will not help the problem.
