Unless you feel an overwhelming need to be politically correct, please watch this video ... you may learn something!

 
Pat Condell is a British stand-up comedian, but this video isn't comedy and it certainly isn't funny.  It's pure truth and utterly brilliant.   Listen to Pat's opinion on the Ground Zero mosque: "Is it possible to be astonished, but not surprised?" - Jihad Watch

Maybe because I live in the northeast (about a 90 minute drive from ground Zero) this is not new to me. I support freedom of religion, along with all of our other Constitutional Rights, but I cannot help but be bewildered by the effrontery of any group that wants to build a mosque at this location. In America, the right exists to do this, but I have to ask "Why Here?". Are the people behind this so blind to the sensitivities of the overwhelming majority of Americans, or are trying to enflame us?

Build your mosque someplace that is not so sensitive to me as an American Patriot, and I will respect your right to worship as you wish. The people who devastated, and continue to devastate, so many American lives now want to build on the modern focal point of American Patriotism, a shrine to the religion that empowers their hatred for us?

The contempt for the sensibilities for all Americans that the supporters of this kind of effort shows needs to be a very clear message to us all, and I hear that message very clearly.

It's too bad that a "Brit" is the one taking a stand against this stupid idea.

The city should take the money it is being offered...and cash the check.

It will never be built...nor completed...

between the unions...

Con Edison (electrical company)..

Code enforcement (remember this will not be sovereign land like an embassy)...

and  New Yorkers...the project will be doomed from day one....

oh...and the mobLaugh

According to AJ, the Ground Zero Mosque is bankrolled by the Rothschilds and the Carnegies, presumably to generate exactly what it is generating.

I repeat, it's their legal right to build a Mosque at this location.

It's my legal right to find it insensitive and confrontational, and to resent the people who insult my sensibilities.

It is the legal right of a Pastor in Florida to burn the Koran this Saturday

It's my legal right to find it insensitive and confrontational, and to resent the people who insult my sensibilities.

I am not so sure I agree with the videos assertion that the intent is to show the world/USA/Muslems that they achieved a goal and will now build on our ashes. That IS what seems to be occuring but I don't think that it being presented that way by the builders.

 

I find it sad and depressing, but not worth fussing about. Be a shame it if got hit hit by a plane or a load of fertilizer, seems to be a common occurrence in that area so they shouldn't be surprised if it happens. Just saying...
