Red Carpet for Sharia Supremacists at Ground Zero

The White House ducks, says it's just a local matter. What? Well, then butt out on any idea of opening a Gitmo North at Thomson, Illinois.

The leadership and funding on the mosque is suspect, their venue is insensitive according to NY Dem and former Mayor Ed Koch. the ADL has come out against it. R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., TAS:

The Country Class or the Country Party has come down against the mosque, and it goes far beyond New Yorkers. It embraces Americans from all over. They oppose the mosque and their opposition is growing. On the other side, the Ruling Class's spokesman is not surprisingly Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York, though he could be from Chicago or Boston or Washington, D.C. Apropos of the mosque, he says: "What is great about America, and particularly New York, is we welcome everybody, and if we are so afraid of something like this, what does it say about us?" First of all, we do not welcome everybody, not drugs lords, not Nazis, not Islamofascists. Secondly, we are not "so afraid of something like this." Rather, we recognize it as an affront to the fallen and to the Nation. Ad arguendo, the affront might not be intended by those wishing to put up the mosque, but it will be recognized by others throughout the world as an affront. Possibly it will be recognized as a sign of the triumph of Islam over non-believers. It ought not to go up.

It ought not to go up.
