Okay. This topic has me HOT under the collar. I mean HOT.
There are plans to put up a mosque 2 blocks from ground zero. This would be a Muslim house of worship. Now, I have NOTHING against peaceful Muslims. I do not think that just because someone is Muslim they are a terrorist. I think they are wrong in their religious beliefs, because as I stated in an earlier post, Jesus Christ is THE Way THE Truth and THE Life...no one gets to the Father but through HIM. (John 14:6)
A wealthy business man in New York City compared the building of a mosque at Ground Zero similar to the Japanese asking to build a memorial to kamikaze pilots at Pearl Harbor. While this man has nothing against Japanese people in general, it WAS the Japanese who killed hundreds of Americans there. (So you say, "Americans have killed Japanese in our wars," and I agree; but you don't see a statue of the Enola Gay in Hiroshima, do you??) Same. Thing.
From Eric Werner, AP Washington:
"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 told an intently listening crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
But there will be NO prayer in public schools. There will be no ten commandments in any federal building anywhere in the states. Look at our money! "In God We Trust." That is our Natoinal Motto Enacted by Congress in 1956. Not "In Allah we trust," or "In Buddha we trust" but IN GOD WE TRUST. For generations to come.
Do you know what the Supreme Court justices see when they walk into their building? Moses holding the ten commandments. And on the doors of the courtroom in which they preside? Moses. Ten Commandments.
James Madison, the 4th President of our country said this:
"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
Patrick Henry, one of our Founding Fathers said: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." I'm sure if some of the founding fathers of this nation could see what is happening today, they would simply weep.
An American president supporting the building of this mosque at Ground Zero is just shameful. Obama is completely invalidating the fallen of the Twin Towers on 9/11. He is more concerned with his personal agenda and protecting his political butt than honoring the memories of innocent men, women, and children who died that day, because of RADICAL Muslims. I am impatiently waiting for my "Impeach Obama" bumper sticker.
According to the aforementioned AP article, a full 70% of Americans do NOT support the building of the mosque at Ground Zero. And this was reported by CNN, who can hardly be labeled as conservative. I am not at all saying that Muslims don't have a right to worship as they believe, and build mosques to worship in. But have some respect people. Seriously.
Amen sister!
