President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building 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 anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York City and the nation.
"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," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."
Let's us stop calling this a religion. It is not It is a political belief system designed to terrorize and eliminate everybody who believes otherwise. Our constitution advocates freedom of thought and action according to just laws. the exact opposite of this so-called religion. Once we define the set of so called " beliefs" correctly then evil can be dealt with appropriately
I think we all know that right now it makes no difference what "We the People" think. The Supreme Court and Congress have put us in this mess - they abdicated their Constitutional responsibilities - they did not vet, they did not review cases on merit, and on and on.
It's a religion that includes in certain countries stoning women to death caught in adultery. It includes alot else not at all good (Sharia law). Christians don't do these things so why are liberals so hellbent on coming to the aid of a religion that even moderate Muslims say is problematic? It would seem to contradict liberalism no?
