I don't really care if Obama is a PRACTICING Muslim. Should I? OF COURSE I SHOULD! However that is not the subject of this post. His policy and administration are wrecking this country at a record pace. Preaching tolerance on the issue of the Mosque is far more than what the Muslim fundamentalists would do for him. Read the following excerpt from a NYT article:

As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother’s Christian background is irrelevant.

Of course, as most Americans understand it, Senator Obama is not a Muslim. He chose to become a Christian, and indeed has written convincingly to explain how he arrived at his choice and how important his Christian faith is to him.

His conversion, however, was a crime in Muslim eyes; it is “irtidad” or “ridda,” usually translated from the Arabic as “apostasy,” but with connotations of rebellion and treason. Indeed, it is the worst of all crimes that a Muslim can commit, worse than murder (which the victim’s family may choose to forgive).

With few exceptions, the jurists of all Sunni and Shiite schools prescribe execution for all adults who leave the faith not under duress; the recommended punishment is beheading at the hands of a cleric, although in recent years there have been both stonings and hangings. (Some may point to cases in which lesser punishments were ordered — as with some Egyptian intellectuals who have been punished for writings that were construed as apostasy — but those were really instances of supposed heresy, not explicitly declared apostasy as in Senator Obama’s case.) end of excerpt.

AND PEOPLE WANT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO!

EVIL IS AFOOT.

Tolerance has it's limitations. Sometimes too much tolerance can produce negative results. I for one am proud of the many Americans that are standing up and saying NO to the Ground Zero Mosque.

The common consensus seems to be that people have no problem with the construction of Mosques. The issue is about geographic location. Ground Zero is already considered by many to be a "holy place" where many innocent people died at the hands of Religious Zealots hell bent on destruction of any culture isn't in accordance with their own (Islam).

Lets no sugar coat things...Islam has not proven to be a "peaceful religion" by any means. Every religion has gone through some sort of violent opposition throughout history. Some religions have been antagonistic toward others. However the region in which the Muslim faith has originated and where the vast majority of it's followers are located is the Middle East. Very violent..very turbulent, even towards each other. I don't see much focus on peace.

We as Americans love to appear as impartial and non-bias as possible. However, I am happy to see people offended by the idea of building a Mosque on ground zero. Lets face facts it would be a slap in the face to Americans...why? Because it's not like the Muslims have spoken out against the actions of Osama Bin Laden. They have not distanced themselves from what was done on September 11th. Instead the Muslim political machine uses every trick in the book to try and convince us that it is a "peaceful" religion without sacrificing it's core belief system that anything that is not "Islam" is not worthy and needs to be converted or wiped out.

So yes it would be a major slap in the face to the United States of America to build a Mosque on ground Zero if for no other reason than it wouldn't truly be viewed as a traditional "prayer space" but as a SYMBOL to Muslims of Victory in the great New York City. It would help to foster negativity toward the United States and energize other Muslim terrorists.

The pledge of allegiance is an oath of allegiance to the United States as represented by our national flag. Many of us learned it in grade school and haven't recited it since....Considering current events it is time more Americans take pride in our great Nation and that pride should be reflected by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
