together people. So, why is it that in the face of 70% opposition to
what he wants to do, he refuses to talk even with the governor of NY
about possible solutions that would put the mosque somewhere else?
Now, why would that be? One possible answer: Because in Islam
there is the concept of victory mosques that they like to build to
celebrate their victories in new conquered territory.

I'm still waiting for anyone to tell me where it says that in the
Koran-- or where any Islamic expert has made that claim. I've
heard the Beck/O'Reilly/Hannity crew repeat it often-- but so far I
haven't seen any evidence that it is true.

saying, "Well, that's their first ammendment right...." Actually,
it probably won't happen, because it's unlikely the mosque will ever
be built. For starters, you won't find a construction crew in nyc
that will built it.

New York is a very big [and diverse] city.

Rudy Guliani got a chuckle out of that. Some hardhats came up to
him in an airport to tell him how it wouldn't be built because the
unions would stick together on it. Rudy said he'd been in NY long
enough to know that if a building was being built, there would be no
shortage of workers. [saw it on one of last Sunday's talking-head
shows]
