[M Dogg™]

In January 2013, when we are swearing in President Sarah Palin, this will be the moment that marks that change.

Obama throws support behind controversial Islamic center

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama threw his support behind a controversial proposal to build an Islamic center and mosque near New York's ground zero, saying Friday that "Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country."

"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," Obama said at a White House Iftar dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The president's remarks drew praise from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who announced his support for the Islamic center last week.

Bloomberg compared Obama's speech to a letter President George Washington wrote in support of a Jewish congregation in Newport, Rhode Island. "President Obama's words tonight evoked President Washington's own August reminder that 'all possess alike liberty,' " Bloomberg said in a statement.

"I applaud President Obama's clarion defense of the freedom of religion tonight," he said.

Obama, who said he was speaking both as a citizen and as president, invoked the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which critics of the Islamic center cite as the main reason for preventing its construction.

"We must all recognize and respect the sensitivities surrounding the development of lower Manhattan," Obama said, according to his prepared remarks. "The 9/11 attacks were a deeply traumatic event for our country."

"The pain and suffering experienced by those who lost loved ones is unimaginable," he continued. "So I understand the emotions that this issue engenders. Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground."

But Obama argued that American ideals and the Constitution demanded that the project proceed.

"This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable," he said. "The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. The writ of our Founders must endure."

The proposed Islamic center has provoked vocal opposition from some families of 9/11 victims and other groups. Nearly 70 percent of Americans oppose the plan, according to CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll released Wednesday.

The project's leaders say they plan to build the $100 million, 13-story facility called Cordoba House three blocks from the site of the 9/11 attacks. The developer, Sharif El-Gamal, describes the project as an "Islamic community center" that will include a 500-seat performing arts center, a lecture hall, a swimming pool, a gym, a culinary school, a restaurant and a prayer space for Muslims.

On Wednesday, the project's developers declined an offer by New York Gov. David Paterson to relocate the project to a state-owned site.

Earlier this month, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously denied landmark status for the building where the proposed Islamic center would stand, allowing the project to move forward.

Im sure racist fucks like Rush Limbaugh are already calling it Obama's Islamic Center.


I think he did the right thing in supporting the proposal, unfortunately in politics doing the right thing can hurt you.

WTF? He's supporting it citing religious freedom.

GOP needs to go read up on the 1st amendment. Of course, the average dumb fuck American will fill in the blanks on their own and believe Obama is leading a Islamic revolution.

SMH.....

MDogg, what your doing is using a logical fallacy, which is known as "appeal to consequences of action".

Nevermind whats right or wrong or constitutional.

[Anunikke]

Kind of interesting that over here the Christians & Muslims show each other a form of support when over in America they're sworn enemies.

But at the same time a secret kill list enacted into law,, allowing the CIA to kill anyone, anywhere in the world, including american citizens, if they are deemed a "terrorist" making this the most tyrannical presidency ever seen, making bush like soft, is essentially hushed up, but that's okay, this story here is the outrage! not a secret assassination list of anyone who is a "danger to national security".

[when it rains it pours]

this is a fucked up world we live, fuck those fucking terrorist ass niggas knowing damn well they can put that shit anywhere else but they wanna put near ground zero.

you do understand that not everyone who worships Allah is a terrorist....just the same, not everyone who worships Jesus Christ is KKK?

I mean, if u worship any invisible man in the sky youre a lil bit insane. But you cant just keep ONE religion from building and allow others.

Maybe we should bring back the retard. If you dont think the CIA had the ability, and was willing to kill anyone it wanted to far before Obama got into office...I dont know what to tell you. lol

"Sigh"you are missing the point, first of all what difference does it make if he was retarded or not, he never ran shit, but secondly, by them solidifying this into law, they are brazenly announcing this power, yes, I am sure the CIA committed all sorts of murders prior to this, but they weren't given legal protection to do so. Yet despite announcing that the CIA have a right to kill anyone they wish to, and in turn announcing that americans have absolutely no rights, this is the big story.
