Well ya, if you want to be rational about it...
In reality it is irrational to think we are not at war with political/economic/cultural/religious islam.
"But what if religion acts like a conquering army?" - Jihad Watch
The US better reconcile between Freedom of Religion and Islam as a conquering army soon. The two cannot co-exist for long.
If a satanic cult meets both of the above criteria to build a temple to worship the lord of hell then nobody can tell them no either. Doesn't mean it isn't in extremely bad taste to do so, or that the discussion should end on the role civil liberties play in the arena of public opinion. I will agree though, anybody arguing against this on legal grounds is in for a losing battle.
I'm not comparing Islam to satan worship, I'm just trying to make a point. It is a slap in the face to the victims of 911 to have a symbol of the underlying offending ideology so close to the scene of the crime. It's also worth asking why a Muslim group would even want one there in the first place. Aside from the bad taste, they are about to pay for high dollar real estate, only to set themselves up for vandalism and ridicule. Personally, it makes me wonder what their agenda really is here.
Islam
is a satanic cult.
Muhammed himself thought he was being possessed by the devil during his seizures but his wife convinced him that he was being talked to by angels.
I find it hard to comprehend that anyone would wonder what their agenda really is, they have stated their agenda, on American soil no less, as well as in foreign capitals, for at least eighty years.
The first Islamic missionaries from abroad arrived in the 1920s and unblushingly declared:
"Our plan is, we are going to conquer America."9 The audacity of this and other statements of intent did not go unnoticed, as a 1922 newspaper commentary shows:
To the millions of American Christians who have so long looked eagerly forward to the time the cross shall be supreme in every land and the people of the whole world shall have become the followers Christ, the plan to win this continent to the path of the "infidel Turk" will seem a thing unbelievable. But there is no doubt about its being pressed with all the fanatical zeal for which the Mohammedans are noted.10
I suppose no one was paying any attention until 9/11 and not very many since then really.
That, plus it is a local issue and the White House should let the local government settle the dispute first.
I cant figure out why Obama weighed in on an issue already solved that he agreed with?
here's why:
"I am a Muslim," Obama Tells Egyptian Foreign Minister Gheit Islamic Coup on the White House - Atlas Shrugs
Finally, during the week of 14-18th of January 2010, just on the eve of my winter tour to the US, Rachel picked up a Nile TV broadcast in which Egyptian Foreign Minister Abul Gheit said on the "Round Table Show" that he had had a one on one meeting with Obama who swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda. He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare), that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.

If there is no legal reason to stop them, they shouldn't be stopped. If people are mad about this, maybe they should build a gay bar one one side and a pork only diner on the other, because there doesn't seem to be any real reason why it shouldn't be allowed to happen. It's not like they're building this on the rubble of the World Trade Center.
That isn't the way it works in Manhatten.
Here is how the process has proceeded for quite some time.
1. Muslims apply for and recieve permission to build or convert an existing building into a mosque.
2. Muslims complain about bars etc near their "place of worship."
3. Cowards in Albany refuse to renew license for businesses claimed by muslims to be offensive.
4. Those who have offended the muslims are out of business.
5. Islam advances on a worldwide basis using weaknesses in whatever systems they have to deal with locally, using outrage, threats of social unrest/terrorism to advance their march to complete and total power and control of nations individually, working and building toward a worldwide system of hegemony.
6. The demands are endless until there is nothing left to demand.
Why this might be surprising or a hard to grasp concept to any American is really beyond my understanding.
