Sarah Palin Fights Mosque, Michael Bloomberg via Facebook

Seeing it's that easy to get through the security gates at the air-ports with weapons, I can see the mosque being used in pretense by a terrorist as a front.

it is strange to me that people still say "3,000" Americans died on Sept 11. Citizens of many countries died on 9/11. It was "the world trade center". Many Muslims died that day, muslim police officers and fireman, rescue personel all responded. Everyday in this country a soldier who happens to be of the "Muslim Faith" puts his life on the line for this country "his country". I am a Christian and I value the Freedom to practice my faith, and that Muslim soldier who is willing to protect and defend my right to practice my faith, I will fight and defend his rights to practice his faith, and to build houses to practice his faith. I also think that this mosque could show Muslims in other countries "that Al Qaida lies, America does not hate Muslims, America hates terroist and extremist of ANY faith".

All rights carry responsibilities and all individual liberties carry duties to the larger community. In this case, the muslims' right to religious liberty carries a duty to be sensitive to the feelings of the larger community concerning the proximity of this particular mosque to Ground Zero. The time for erecting this mosque is not now, but in the future, when Islam has purged itself of its anti-american and anti-western ideology, which presently finds much support in islamic governments, not merely in radical fringe groups. Unlike modern Christianity, Islam is not merely a religion of private conscience. It is aggressively political, both here and in the Middle East. The religion, in its modern incarnation, so alien to its own Golden Age, provides the philosophical underpinnings for all kinds of terrorist acts against non-muslims. Contrary to the politically correct nonsense spouted by politicians and academics, we are, in fact, at war with modern Islam. We have had ample evidence since 9/11 that mosques throughout the United States are promoting hatred of this country and its values, leading to an ever-growing number of radicalized muslim americans. In its present form, Islam is incompatible with modern understandings of what constitutes a decent society. When american muslims who truly love America and its Constitution find the courage to publicly condemn everything in modern Islam that is contrary to western values of common decency, and publicly declare their support for America's war on modern Islam, with all its perversions of religion, then they can have their mosque near Ground Zero.

If that car bomb had gone off in New York on Christmas Day would we be having this discussion. ?? Answer please.

Funny how Palin keeps referring to building of this mosque as an 'intolerable mistake' and then has the audacity to say that this isn't religious intolerance?? Funny how she seems to think that the entire population of ONE BILLION Muslims is somehow responsible for the actions of AN EXTREMIST GROUP AL-Qaeda? Am I then to assume that as a christian she somehow also should bear the blame for the Oklahoma bombing?
There are millions of Muslims living in America. These are the people who died right alongside everyone else at 9/11. The people who were there right after 9/11 offering aid to the victims. The same Muslims who are enlisted in the military and risk their lives everyday for this country.
Who are we to deny that they cannot have a prayer space or a community center near ground zero? Is this not the land of liberty??!!

Please someone approach Saudi Arabia and ask permission to build a Christian Cathedral in that country, preferably in the vicinity of Mecca. If the permission is granted then I'm sure more people in the U.S. would support that mosque in New York.

For someone who likes to talk about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Ms Palin really doesn't seem to understand even the first amendment...

Once again, citizen Palin and other social conservatives have taken a position that is contrary to everything that their "conservatism" should stand for. Apparently, their narrow-minded "religion" trumps all other considerations.

I guess some think that we should just learn to turn the other cheek. If americans are murdered in mass terrorist attacks, we should just "let it be" after all we can just grow more right?

The Muslims are building this Mosque in this location, strickly, for the "IN YOUR FACE" affect. They are spitting in the face of all americans and the victims of thier religious fanatasism. And, Mayor Bloomberg is right beside them spitting in our face as well. He does not deserve to be in a position of leadership anywhere in this country, and it boggles the mind that New Yorkers who have suffered through this ordeal would even allow him to hold that office.
