Praise Allah and a Happy Ramadan to you, Mr Obama! You just gave true Americans a great weapon to use against you in 2012 (assuming we even survive until 2012).

"President Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero" So did the Jewish Mayor of NYC! It's just you Dumbfuckistanis that have a problem.. We have FREEDOM OF RELIGION here in the US. You know, it's right there in the CONSTITUTION you want to protect? Remember, YOUR OWN Dumbfuckistani leader, George W. Bush, TOLD you, over and over, that it wasn't MUSLIMS that attacked us on 9/11 - it was AQ!

Red Alert Ted. Obama just made the biggest fuck up ever. Terrorist Muslims over 9/11 survirors? This PIECE OF SHIT has written his political obituary! Goodbye and good riddens. Maybe so but he's on the right side.....supporting one of our important freedoms. You guys, on the other hand, are ne'er do wells who don't understand what this country is really all about.

Read it......you may learn something about the American democracy: "Recently, attention has been focused on the construction of mosques in certain communities -- particularly New York. Now, we must all recognize and respect the sensitivities surrounding the development of Lower Manhattan. The 9/11 attacks were a deeply traumatic event for our country. And the pain and the experience of suffering by those who lost loved ones is just unimaginable. So I understand the emotions that this issue engenders. And Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground. "But let me be clear. As a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America. And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country and that they will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are. The writ of the Founders must endure. "We must never forget those who we lost so tragically on 9/11, and we must always honor those who led the response to that attack -- from the firefighters who charged up smoke-filled staircases, to our troops who are serving in Afghanistan today. And let us also remember who we're fighting against, and what we're fighting for. Our enemies respect no religious freedom. Al Qaeda's cause is not Islam -- it's a gross distortion of Islam. These are not religious leaders -- they're terrorists who murder innocent men and women and children. In fact, al Qaeda has killed more Muslims than people of any other religion -- and that list of victims includes innocent Muslims who were killed on 9/11. "So that's who we're fighting against. And the reason that we will win this fight is not simply the strength of our arms -- it is the strength of our values. The democracy that we uphold. The freedoms that we cherish. The laws that we apply without regard to race, or religion, or wealth, or status. Our capacity to show not merely tolerance, but respect towards those who are different from us -- and that way of life, that quintessentially American creed, stands in stark contrast to the nihilism of those who attacked us on that September morning, and who continue to plot against us today."
