If a church wanted to be built on this site-it also would not be allowed. The NYC Preservation Board has the final say in such matters. They are not going to approve a mosque, a church or a Hindu temple. This has nothing to do with the establishment clause.
Cut the phony victimization crap-Muslims are oppressing people worldwide. Including their own women. Talk to some Christians Africans if you can't find a Lebanese Lauber.
Most of the Pilots who bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec7, 1941, were Buddhist or Shinto. Today there are three Buddhist temples in Pearl Harbor, one with in sight of the Harbor where the US Arizona still lies, and one adjacent to Hickham Air Force Base, which was also bombed that day.
Where is the Rage??? Where is the Buddhist Hatred to match the Islamophobia that Right Wing Nuts are spewing in NYC?
My dictionary defines BIGOT as:

Another straw man argument by Box A Rox. Japan was a nation state looking to capture territory, NOT spread Buddhist or Shinto teachings. There were Muslims cheering in the streets around the world and in America when the Twin Towers fell.
Cicero has posted a very graphic depiction of the attitude of Radical Hateful Muslims.

A bigot is a bigot is a bigot, weather he is Christian or Muslim... One is no better than the other.

One Bigot is as bad as another... Muslims from Saudi Arabia attacked the USA on Sept 11th. (But Saudi controls the oil) SO George Worst Bush invaded Iraq with shock & awe! (in an attempt to grab Iraqi Oil... He failed) Both groups... "Such a wonderful assortment of examples of a peace loving people who spread their love around the world."
I wonder if these Islamophobes would hate all Left Handed People if all the Sept 11th attackers happened to be Left Handed? Probably!

It is quite obvious in this video, as the muslim reads from his 'bible', that their god instructs them to not only hate, but to destroy ANY ONE culture or religion that does not follow the muslim culture or religion. (he specifies jews and christians) My only question to this idiot, is why the hell he is in a country of his 'enemies'? If this idiot is so hell bent on protecting the muslims, why isn't he in Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan rallying the troops to stand up for their culture and religious beliefs? I guess this idiot is enjoying the protection of 'free speech' that he has in this county of his enemies. Only in American, can someone from another country come to this country only to protest against it!! GOD BLESS AMERICA, huh?

Islamophobes, I said nothing about that, I thought he was just a Christian preaching from his bible to future parishioners to follow him to preach love to the rest of the world.
Uganda Attack May Have Been 'Plan B' for Terror Strike on World Cup, Analyst Says

The deadly twin bombings in Uganda's capital may have been the "Plan B" for terrorists looking to make a strike on the World Cup but unable to penetrate South Africa's security, a terror analyst who had earlier warned Congress about such an attack told FoxNews.com.
The Al Qaeda-linked Somali group al-Shabab on Monday claimed responsibility for the attack, which left dozens dead including at least one American. It marks the first time the militant group -- which is labeled a terrorist organization by the State Department -- has struck outside Somalia.
More examples of the peace and love that Muslim terrorists are sharing with the world, There sure are a lot of violent individuals in that peace loving group.
If you'll check another 'peace loving group' that seemed to be bent on violence... Lets see ... The Christian Country of Germany under Adolph Hitler.
But I guess it's a TOTALLY DIFFERENT thing when you blame the actions of a very few Radicals, all of one religion (Christian), with the actions of a different group of very few Radicals, all of a different religion (Muslim).

I was at the NY State Museum and saw the Sept11th exhibit there this weekend.
It's an impressive display, and underscores that we need to bring all groups together to fight the terrorists who committed those crimes.
One group that has helped the USA and should be a major help in the future, are the worlds Muslims who are also threatened by these same radical terrorist.
The Afghan victims of the Taliban are as much a victim of Radical Extremism, as are those killed by Terrorist any where else in the world.

Just a few religious teachings of YOUR Christian Bible...
~Exodus 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery." ~Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die." ~Leviticus 20:10 "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death." ~Proverbs 6:32 "But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself." He destroys himself by being put to death as shown above. ~Leviticus 21:9 "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." ~Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity."
Now I know that all those Good Christians Islamophobes would not JUDGE the Muslims by one standard, yet judge a known adulterer in their midst with a different set of rules... RIGHT? I mean if you are going to condemn the Muslims by their book, shouldn't you also be condemned by YOUR BOOK? Or is it different for you? The bible seems pretty clear... Any adulterers out there???
What hypocrites.!
