Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed allowing a mosque near ground zero, saying the country’s founding principles demanded no less.
“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country,” Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has enraged New York City and the nation.
Entering the highly charged election-year debate, Obama surely knew that his words would not only make headlines but be heard by Muslims worldwide. The president has made it a point to reach out to the global Muslim community, and the over 100 guests at Friday’s dinner included ambassadors and officials from numerous Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Seated around candlelit tables, Muslim leaders listened closely as Obama spoke, then stood and applauded when the president finished his remarks.
While his pronouncement concerning the mosque might find favor in the Muslim world, Obama’s stance runs counter to the opinions of the majority of Americans, according to polls. A CNN/Opinion Research poll released this week found that nearly 70 percent of Americans opposed the mosque plan while just 29 percent approved. A number of Democratic politicians have shied away from the controversy.
The group behind the $100 million project, the Cordoba Initiative, describes it as a Muslim-themed community center. Early plans call not only for prayer space but for a swimming pool, culinary school, art studios and other features. Developers envision it as a hub for interfaith interaction, as well as a place for Muslims to bridge some of their faith’s own schisms.
Opponents, including some Sept. 11 victims’ relatives, see the prospect of a mosque so near the destroyed trade center as an insult to the memory of those killed by Islamic terrorists in the 2001 attacks.
The mosque has won approval from local planning boards but faces legal challenges, and New York’s Conservative Party is planning a television ad campaign to pressure a New York City utility to use its power to block the project. This Mosque will be built and it will probaly trigger a retaliation attack by angered family members of 9/11 victims which will lead to even more violence on Amercian soil. Obama proved once again that he is a puppet and will do whatever he is told to do by those that really run America, the Illumanati.

Very sad to see our fearless leader kiss the muslims ass’s . He doesnt respect the dead and he is making our country a joke to the rest of the world. what a weak president
this is really a amazing story. I cannot believe he would do this. he is definately a one term president, his chances of getting re elected are almost zero. they will probaly blow up this mosque before it is even built which will cause even more terror attacks.
this will defiantely be all over the news. barry sotero or osama obama is spitting on the graves of all those that died in the towers. what a sorry ass president
i voted for obama and now im ashamed to tell people that. he already hasnt kept one of his promises but now i see he really is just a token president. he has no power at all. the illumanti is making him out to be the worst president ever. i will never vote again for anyone as now i realize that it is all rigged and we as normal people dont matter.
obama is more white than black you can tell that by the way he carries himself . But he is definately a muslim butt licker he is not a real leader. i find him to be a punk of a president. i hated bush but at least bush wouldnt take shit from any other country who tried anything. obama bows down to everyone he is a wolf in sheeps clothing. i feel sorry for the families who lost people in the 9/11 and now this president disrespects them like this. our country is doomed
obama is such a sellout
yes we can make a change ! yes we can ! haha thats what you get for voting for me. thank you very much . yes we can
Yall are F***ing pathetic. America is #1 Nation in the world, for applauding itself, and its Leech-like system of ROBBING every other nation in the world, then calling those nations inventions, people, and resources its own.
The Muslim FAITH (a REAL religion) is more than the Middle East. Its WAY MORE than a few (yes a few hundred crazy zealots living in caves) people ruining it, just like African Americans are MORE than Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Its so sad and just pitiful that you all are completely intolerant of a faith of people AROUND THE GLOBE.
Obama has been fighting this country and its desire to PISS OFF THE PLANET, and I COMMEND HIM for continuing to try admist lying Republicans, a government system pretty much OWNED by CEOs who have NEVER given a Flying F*** about 95% percent of the people living here, or ANYWHERE for that matter, and his own supporters (most of whom just voted for him because of his skin color…again f***ing stupid) turning on him, because he hasn’t do the “real black thang”….what the f** is the “real black thang”? Failing school? Abandoning your family?
Father, bless this nation…but I consider myself a Texan 1st, and citizen of the world 2nd.
When yall actually GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, and see the world…try saying s** then.
hahaha vote for me. yes we can. ill make you rich. hahaha yes we can. ill get ya off the city bus and into a used car. yes we can. thanks KT vote for me. yes we can. my real name is barry. hahaha yes we can. im in charge
KT sound kind of bitter and disappointed that obama is such a failure of a president. he is definately a failure and he is a very weak president. like louis farrakan said obama will reveal himself as the fraud he is, and black people will turn there back on him and that is coming to pass right now. you can only make so many empty promises. fight the power
KT muslim faith a real religion ? are you a fucken retard. let me get my rug out and pray to the east right now. and strap a bomb to my son and send him to blow someone up. KT is a deedeedee look up carlos mencia deedeedee video on youtube. that is you KT you moron. obama is a fraud and a fake
Muslims didn’t attack us on 911, terrorists did! They didn’t care that they killed Muslims in their attack, which they did. Last year a Christian man in Texas flew his plane into the IRS building with no regard for who would be killed! Does that mean there shouldn’t be a Church build by the IRS building? think about it!
Obama is just another human with fault like you same people who have never, had such a position nor have been faced with the type of choices he has!! man is subject to error, Bush made a mess, and It would take anybody a hell of alot longer to clean up what he did. As far as Farrahkan Goes and what he said, some of his own ministers and captains are crooked! The nation has been around for almost a 100yrs and yet you can’t go to them and get a job or when you get your X you can’t come with a plan to make it happen and get support!! now everybody look at yourself!!! cause thats were everything starts and ends!! you didnt do nothing about Bush and you aint going to do nothing about Obama so your best bet is to shut up and worry about that next bill coming in the mail!! holla
It would be a MIRACLE if O’Bama ever stood up FOR America..or stood in support of the MAJORITY of Americans. He never has and probably never will. It would be interesting to say the least, to see what would happen if Americans decided they wanted to build a CHRISTIAN Church in downtown Saudi Arabia. Before November, I hope voters will TEST candidates on Constitutional issues…and REFUSE to accept a “tap dance” for an answer. I want to hear and see candidates who STAND UP FOR AND APPLAUD THE UNITED STATES. Candidates who will declare that this nation WAS and IS founded on Biblical principles. Candidates who are NOT afraid to defend our borders against foreign invaders INCLUDING illegal immigrants. We need candidates who will wave the flag and REMEMBER that those who died FOR America did NOT die for a MUSLIM AMERICA.
“Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing”, yes.. and the American citizens are the sheeps… Open your eyes on sept 11th… instead of following what is said to u… u dont even know what’s going… open your minds and ask the right questions to yourself.
you guys have got to be kidding me? if you guys actually did your own god damn research you would understand this isnt on ground zero, it used to be a burlington coat factory.. you guys have forgotten the one constitutional right that america was founded on ‘freedom of religion’. obama isnt scared of muslim leaders hes following our constitution and the fact that everyone may worship whatever religion they please or has everybody been brainwashed by fox news? this isnt even mentioning hte fact that theres already a mosque CLOSER to the mosque that is being proposed. learn the facts for yourself not what is being told to you.
Remember the 15,000 Muslim soldiers fighting in our US Military and defending our American Values and Liberties every day, even risking their lives fighting for other Muslims against tyranny! Remember many American victims of 911 who were Muslim! Anyone who equates true Islam with terrorism is ignorant and doesn’t stand with American Freedom! The purpose of the Muslim Community Center is to create Inter-faith tolerance, how ironic many Americans don’t get that the terrorist are winning when you want to deny American Muslims the freedom of religion! Open your eyes and look at the world’s 3rd largest democracy, Indonesia, and Turkey as examples against the scaremongering that Muslims don’t tolerate and are all extremists! I’m a Christian, but love thy neighbor!
HE DOESN’T RUN ANYTHING AND HAS NEVER DONE SO! THIS COUNTRY WAS ESTABLISHED ON MURDER AND LIES SO WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THAT WILL EVER CHANGE! THAT GUY IS A PUPPET AND HE KNOWS AND ACCEPTS THAT BECAUSE IF NOT LIKE ALL OTHER MAJOR FIGURES WHO REBELLED HE WILL ALSO PARISH IN SOME WAY SHAPE FORM OR FASHION! AND THE BIGGEST TERRORIST ARE THE MOTHAFUCKAS WHO RUN THE GOVERNMENT! SO DON’T BE ASHAMED OF WHAT IS GOING ON BE ASHAMED OF BEING BLIND TO THE TRUTH! ITS THE END EVERYBODY! NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE WHO FEELS THE NEED TO BE OFFENDED!
go obama , how much more of america can you screw up
The Muslims should have a right to build a place of worship wherever they fucking want. The constitution and common sense both protect them in doing it.
The imam heading the project, however, is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The mosque itself is partnered with a Muslim organization that is financed by the Rockefeller Foundation, Henry Luce Foundation, Carnegie Endowment, and other global-elite organizations.
So my conclusion is that the mosque is a provocation by the Illuminati — they want you to be doing what you’re doing. Considering the acknowledgement of a group’s constitutional rights to be “controversial”.
The 9/11 attacks were planned and executed by the US Military/Intelligence complex and Washington establishment. The Illuminati. Not “the Muslims”.
Hell, look at the “Muslims” you’re blaming for 9/11:
Osama Bin Laden — Trained/funded by the CIA, Worked for the US Government “until the day the Towers came down” according to an FBI whistleblower, Met with a CIA station chief at an American Hospital in Dubai only two months before 9/11, Used the American code-name “Tim Osman” to tour military bases,
Ayman al-Zawahiri — Trained by the CIA to fight in Bosnia
Khalid Sheikh Mohamed — Trained by the CIA to fight in Bosnia, Uncle of CIA operative Ramzi Yousef (Who evidently worked with or for Mossad)
Mohamed Atta — Trained to fly at a CIA front school, Trained on an airport with close ties to military/intelligence covert operations, Trained by the US Military at Maxwell Air Force Base, Had a credit card number used only by US Government employees, His best friend was a CIA pilot involved in drug trafficking, Associate of Dutch CIA asset Rudi Dekkers, Part of an elite US-German exchange program linked to Rockefeller/Kissinger/Global-Elite figures, Received his visa from a CIA-controlled consulate that issued visas to covert operatives (sometimes terrorists coming to the US for training as CIA assets), Visited an FBI asset with military/intelligence connections, Monitored by US Military-Intelligence as part of the top-secret “Able Danger” program
Marwan al-Shehhi — Trained to fly at a CIA front school, Received his visa from a CIA-controlled consulate that issued visas to covert operatives
Nawaf al-Hazmi — Monitored by the CIA, Lived with an FBI asset who had military/intelligence connections, Lived at a motel “right outside the gates” of the NSA’s headquarters, Received his visa from a CIA-controlled consulate that issued visas to covert operatives
Khalid al-Midhar — Monitored by the CIA, Lived with an FBI asset who had military/intelligence connections, Received his visa from a CIA-controlled consulate that issued visas to covert operatives
Ziad Jarrah — In his family are at least two Mossad spies
And a number of others who lived near CIA/Military bases, trained at CIA/Military schools, and had ties to military/intelligence operatives.
It has recently come public that a Turkish CIA asset trained at least six of the hijackers.
The “Muslims” that you accuse for 9/11 were US Military/Intelligence cut-outs.
The United States is a great nation. If other nations think the United States is a bully, perhaps they shouldn’t take American tax paying money that given out every year in millions and millions to other countries for humanitarian aid and other purposes. This nation is very generous and giving to other countries because the US gives out millions & millions in aid, most of which is never paid back!
Plus the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to live life! Separation of church and state. The point is people of ANY religion that come here have a right to practice the religion of their choice. Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, yes, even Muslims have the right to come to this country if they yearn for a better life and practice their religion! That is the point of the “American dream.” To accomplish dreams, experience and live in freedom, including religious freedom. That is why ALL immigrants have come here since the the beginning. Except for Native Americans, the original and FIRST Americans, all other Americans are descendants of immigrants to came from Europe, Asia, South American and African-Americans that are descendants of Black slaves from Africa and the Caribbean. We’re all descendants of immigrants that came to this country for a better life, except the Native Americans, whose ancestors were already here! So lets remember those people that have come over to the US for a better life since America became a nation, including those that come over in modern times for the same reason regardless of skin color or religion! They deserve the same chance that our ancestors had that is given to present day Americans became of the journey our ancestors made to come over here for a better life!
Yo this is suppose to be an anti NWO site and there is not one post about how that “mosque” aka Community Center was just put there to divide and conquer.
The biggest thing is that none of you mentioned that 9/11 was an inside job so I don’t think you guys even know your enemy. Our Govt. and shadow govt. is the problem not the Muslims. Damn u guys need to do your homework. Start with Building 7, the NORAD stand down then trace the paper trail and don’t forget the “dancing Israeli’s” 9/11 was what made this all possible. Stop getting your news from the Lamestream media.
You need to research the site a little more before you make comments. We have many stories about 9/11 being a inside job, many videos as well. The Mosque is not a NWO order topic as they have nothing to do with it.

what the eff? Hey, just because a group of mentally-distorted Muslims blew up US buildings doesnt mean all Muslims are bad! Those suicide-bombers were brainwashed to begin with.
I live in Singapore, with muslims.. they are very nice people. Keep your effking American pride aside, open up ur tiny mind and look at the whole effking world.
obama is a muslim. he was raised a muslim and born in kenya. he is now a puppet for the illumanati. he loves muslims and he is a false leader
Just wanted to say that I am working at a large Pharmaceutical company in Clayton NC and I support Barack Obama with all my being. I invite all my friends and colleagues to re-elect Obama in 2012!! I LOVE YOU OBAMA
Everyone who thinks muslims actually had a role in 9/11 id an idiot. When a christian robs a store does everone go on and say ‘zomg christians are all thieves’? no. Following this train of thought, when a crazy guy in a beard ((i dont believe that guy even did it since…well G.W.Bush obviously had 9/11 setup to legalise invading Iraq and afghanistan’)) who just happes to be a muslim, suddenly 1.5 billion muslims are all accused of being terrorists? please explain that to me because all I can see is that Americans are all gullible.
