      I just happened to check fox News and I almost lost my morning coffee when Morris said this. I'm beginning to think that Morris has been feeling neglected and ignored and feels like the more outrageous his statements are...he might get attention. Never mind that it makes him seem quite lirerally insane. Good lord, what a tool.

        At least we'll know where they are. The CIA can pose as building inspectors and bug the place.

          Indeed, it is BS.

          Thing is, it IS a NYC issue, and they have already settled it. They can build at the site they own, and have obtained the proper permits.

          It's over and done.

            "It's over and done"

            It is far from over and done, I'll bet the victory mosque will never be built on that site.

            This is a deliberate attempt to flaunt the attacks of 9/11 by Rauf and his comrades, they even named the project "Cordoba House" a clear reference to Islam's victory mosque in Spain. And their group is called the "Cordoba Initiative" . Their motives are quite clear.

              First of all faillierbally, It is not the Cordoba House, it is Park 51. Second, there was NO victory mosque called Cordoba house. It is named after the The Caliphate of Cordoba because as this center it, Cordoba was an area of prosperity in trade in culture between the city and the rest of Europe.

                First off, it was named the Cordoba House, the name was changed when the opposition to the project started.

                Secondly, I never stated that the mosque at Cordoba was called the Cordoba House, perhaps you should reread what I said. The fact remains that Islam did in fact build a victory mosque in Cordoba Spain at the site of a Christian cathedral. It was laater converted back to a Christian Church after the Reconquista.

                This groups references to Cordoba is crystal clear to anyone with a brain.

                And it will never be built at this site, wait and see. There is no need for it, there is already a mosque a few blocks away. This is just an attempt to "rub salt in the wound" by these so called moderate Muslims.

                Any thoughts about our gutless presidents refusal to comment on the wisdom of this project?

                  Two things:

                  1) When people name places in reference to the enlighment, they are only talking about the bloody French Revolution right?

                  2) Chruches are adjacent to each other and there are practically no mosques in downtown manhattan. Do a google maps search and compare it to the amount of churches.

                  I bet you don't even live in New York City.

                    Your comments are just plain stupid, enlightenment can refer to a dozen different movements. The reference to Cordoba refers to a very specific instance in Muslim history and the use of the name "Cordoba Initiative" makes it quite clear of their intentions.

                    And there is a mosque just blocks away from this site yet there is virtually no residential areas nearby, it is the financial district. Battery Park City to the south would be the exception.

                    And for your info, while I no longer live in NY city , I was born there and worked in the Wall St area for 20 years. I know there is no Muslim community in the area. I lived in NY city for 40 years, how long have you been there? Or perhaps it is you who know nothing about NY and the area in question.


                    And BTW I tried doing a google search for "chruches" that are adjacent to each other but could not find any. Could you name a few of the chruches that are adjacent to each other in downtown Manhattan? I don't recall ever seeing any in my 40 years there.

                      So can Cordoba. Cordoba is a historic point in muslim (and world history). It does not refer to the building of a mosque after the a victory over christians. The idea of "victory mosque" is just another insult towards muslims in the form of calling them barbarics. Cordoba was the capital of Al-Andalus, what is now Andalucia, and the most populated and rich city in the world at the time. It pretty much was the cultural equivalent of Ancient Greece for Islam. Why is it bad to name a islamic community center after such an important city and a major part of islamic culture is just sheer bigotry.

                      I was born in New york city and have spent my teenage years here. I went to school in HArlem, lived in uptown and took courses in downtown. To deny the excisting Muslim population is, once again, sheer bigotry from your part. Specially since you pretty much dney any postive advancement that islam has given.

                      And you must have searched badly, because i did a quick google maps search and found a blanket a red dots.

                      The number of churches in new york

                      On the other hand there are six mosques in manhattan, only one in Harlem, which boasts a large muslim population. I doubt that six mosques are good enough more than 50000 people.

                  The Great Mosque of Córdoba, now known as the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (English: Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption) was a mosque built by the Umayyads on the site of a Christian Visigothic Church[1] in the Andalusian city of Córdoba, Spain. It is regarded as perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Córdoba. After the Spanish Reconquista, it was rebuilt as Roman Catholic church with a Gothic cathedral inserted into the centre of the large Moorish building. Today the entire building is used to house the Cathedral of the diocese of Córdoba in Spain.


                  Source

                  And before you start with your bigoted rants, the Visigothic church was enemy of the Roman Catholic Church. The catholics would have also done the same thing to the original church.

        Before Obama commented on the topic, I heard some wingnuts responding to the remarks that it was a local issue with, naturally, references to 9/11. "Was 9/11 just a New York issue?". Shameless hypocrites.

      The Koran isn't the only holy book that encourages the stoning of women. How the hell do these people not know their own damn Bible?

      For a woman who is not a virgin on her wedding night...
      If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her ... and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: And the damsel's father shall say ... these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. ... But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die. Deuteronomy 22:13-21

      For adultery (including urban rape victims who fail to scream loud enough)...
      If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city. Deuteronomy 22:23-24

        I should be corrected... The Koran (is Quran the correct manner of spelling these days?) doesn't mention stoning as a punishment ever. To be fair, this idiot did say "Sharia Law" and not the Koran.

            Perhaps you should read the comment by your liberal pal that I was referring to.

      Toe-sucker Morris quotes the Center for Security Policy, a fringe web site with an official-sounding name run by Frank Gaffney, Jr. who once said this about the Iraq war: "My position is [that] it is regrettable that any Americans died. It is regrettable that they had to die, but I believe they did have to die."

      I guess FOX thinks of Morris as an exotic pet who's been trained to spout Republican Talking points. Had he not been a close Clinton advisor, they probably wouldn't give him the time of day. Since he once worked for a Democrat, they can pretend that he represents "balance".
