The more than 100 mosques of New York are visual signs, not only of the presence of these Muslim Americans, but also of the religious freedom that distinguishes the American way of life. By their very existence they defeat the hostile, polarized vision of Islam and America that the authors of the WTC attacks hoped to engender.

It should be obvious that New York City already has a rich history of Muslim mosques.
It should be clear that Sara Palin is playing divide and conquer and laughing all the way to the bank with all the money she is getting, like 65,000 for a seat at her breakfast with Glen Bleck.
This whole charade isn't about tolerance or being islamaphobic, it's about the proximity of this mosque to ground zero and the fact the Palin is trying to divide and conquer NYC democrats over this, well she succeeded, people are fools, anyone who really think this mosque is gonna go over without incidence, is seriously brain deficient.
This whole conflict is fueling hatred, it's a misrepresentation of the fact that nobody cares about if there is a mosque built in NYC, there are plenty of Muslim mosques in NYC, and plenty of people who practice whatever faith they want there. To put this mosque in this location is the problem, why don't all those religious leaders standing next to that fool Bloomburg build a non-denominational community center that provides for all faiths? Nah, that would make sense.
Most people seem to forget that Bloomberg called NYC transit workers "thugs" when they went on strike, oh yeah, people who work in rat hole conditions are "thugs'. Most of the people throwing around all the accusations lately don't know and will never know what it really means to work for a living, just sit on their asses and watch t.v. and then pretend that they are really good people. A bunch of hypocritical fools who just got played by Sarah Palin.
