President Obama strongly backed the mosque planned near Ground Zero as he celebrated Ramadan with Muslim Americans at the White House – saying it shows that America’s commitment to to religious tolerance is "unshakeable."
"Let me be clear: as a citizen, and as president, I believe 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 in his first comments on the controversy.

President Obama comes out in support of Ground Zero mosque - NYPOST.com
As of today 61% of New Yorkers many of them democrats, are aginst the ground zero mosque. Obama comes out in support. Not a very smart move on his part.
what a shame, Obama supports upholding the law. :roll:
Again people may not like it, but nothing legally can be done. What would you want the President to do say no they can't build it?
Except that Obama doesnt give a damm about people's rights. His MO is that if conservatives are against it, by default he has to be for it. Did Obama do the right thing? Yes but only in spite not because its the right thing to do.
Obama should stay out of this. If the KKK announced plans to build a shrine at the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church, would Obama be talking about religious freedom? I agree that they have a right to build this mosque but I also believe they have an agenda and it has nothing to do with tolerance and understanding.

I don't believe the KKK is a religion, so your example does not appear to be applicable.

If this mosque is built. I predict it will be destroyed within a year.
I don't believe Islam is a religion. Islam is an evil cult and must be eliminated.

And so do most of the opponents to the building of that Mosque. It's not the matter of if they can build it or not. It's the matter of why they are building that mosque in that location. I am for them building mosques, but that location is creating tension. It's like burning the American flag. It's legal, but many Americans(I hope a majority....) does not like people that do that in front of their faces or stomp of the American flag. It's a sign of disrespect to the people there. And this mosque is showing that despite a majority of people do not want it at that location, "we are gonna do it anyway because we can" kind of attitude. How you like it when a guy walks up front of you, spits on an American flag, stomps on it, then lights it up. But then again.... They can do it, but people might not like it.
Is this the agenda you were referring to? Or is this responding to another post?
With this kind of talk you'll probably have the NSA on your ass.
The NSA dosn't have time to waste on a citizen expressing his opinion about an evil cult or his opinion that this mosque if built will not last a year.
He look, this is where you lose all credibility! :2wave:
I am not looking for your approval. And who are you to decide if I do or do not have credibility. Oh wait, thats your opinion right? Remember opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one.
