Counterterrorism expert Michael Scheuer tells Newsmax that construction of a mosque near ground zero would be viewed as a “symbol of victory” by Muslim extremists — and calls New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg a “windbag” for voicing support for the mosque.

Ground Zero mosque leader Imam Rauf says it is. Watch these examples of Sharia then you decide.

Developer Sharif el-Gamal was a waiter until just a few years ago. He has refused to respond to emails, voice mails and repeated requests for interviews about the Ground Zero mosque.

A spokesman for the administration says the Imam’s comments have been taken out of context by ‘a blogger’ as he defends the US funding of the Imam’s trip.

While much attention has been focused on questions surrounding the Ground Zero mosque and the appropriateness of the State Department funding Ground Zero mosque imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s trip to the Middle East, little attention has been given to the fact that U.S. taxpayer money is funding mosque development around the world.

The developers of the planned mosque near New York’s ground zero refuse to rule out using funds from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Iran to build the $100 million project. Mosque spokesman Oz Sultan was asked if the project’s fund raising would include Iran and Saudi Arabia. “I can’t comment on that,” he said, according to a NY Post report.

Its tragic how the left is suddenly referring to the constitution as a guarantor of rights and not as irrelevant to government. The Leftist in Chief chastised those in opposition to the ground zero mosque by firmly reminding them that the Muslims have a constitutional right to build the mosque and he is right.

Islamic expert Tawfik Hamid tells Newsmax that many Muslims will view the construction of a mosque near ground zero as symbolizing a “triumph over America.”

In calling for investigating anyone who opposes the ground zero mosque, Speaker Pelosi exposed how the left is ready to silence all opposition. This is similar to the threats from the administration to silence criticism from GE CEO Immelt and cries of racist against anyone who opposes the Obama agenda.

There comes a moment in a failing presidency where the incumbent, through some single gesture, action, or statement, crosses a certain line from beyond which there is no return.
