neveragain911Sarah Palin’s Notes
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Earlier today, Mayor Bloomberg responded to my comments about the planned mosque at Ground Zero by suggesting that a decision not to allow the building of a mosque at that sacred place would somehow violate American principles of tolerance and openness.
No one is disputing that America stands for — and should stand for — religious tolerance. It is a foundation of our republic. This is not an issue of religious tolerance but of common moral sense. To build a mosque at Ground Zero is a stab in the heart of the families of the innocent victims of those horrific attacks. Just days after 9/11, the spiritual leader of the organization that wants to build the mosque, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, suggested that blame be placed on the innocents when he stated that the “United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened” and that “in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.” Rauf refuses to recognize that Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of our ally, Israel, and refuses to provide information about the sources of funding for the $100 million mosque. Rauf also plays a key role in a group behind the flotilla designed to provoke Israel in its justifiable blockade of Gaza. These are just a few of the points Americans are realizing as New York considers the proposed mosque just a stone’s throw away from 9/11’s sacred ground.
I agree with the sister of one of the 9/11 victims (and a New York resident) who said: “This is a place which is 600 feet from where almost 3,000 people were torn to pieces by Islamic extremists. I think that it is incredibly insensitive and audacious really for them to build a mosque, not only on that site, but to do it specifically so that they could be in proximity to where that atrocity happened.”
Many Americans, myself included, feel it would be an intolerable and tragic mistake to allow such a project sponsored by such an individual to go forward on such hallowed ground. This is nothing close to “religious intolerance,” it’s just common decency.

No Mosques At Ground Zero 
We need more people to stand up like Ms. Palin and I applaud you! Thank you! I wish Mayor Bloomberg had more sense and I pray to my own god that he will see sense! What kind of money there must be involved for the mayor to even think of such a diasterous mosque in that place. In this case money does not make the world go around, what it will do is to bring war with in our own country someday soon! Shame on you Mayor Bloomberg!
Comment by deborah July 21, 2010 @ 5:48 amYes, Mayor Bloomberg should be very Ashamed of himself.. I know I am ashamed of him.. What a loser and Traitor to his own people.
Comment by Tasia715 July 24, 2010 @ 7:25 amI couldn’t agree more.
And why is it that we are always supposed to be tolerant toward Muslims but they never have to be tolerant toward us?
Comment by Mo July 21, 2010 @ 5:50 amExactly, well said.
Comment by Tasia715 July 24, 2010 @ 7:24 amAbsolutely, Governor Palin. And though you were diplomatic in your tone, I think you know all too well that the plan to build this mosque is not simply insensitive, but is an intentional insult and sign of conquest by an Islamist organization whose aim is an Islamized/dhimmified America where bloody Sharia reigns.
Comment by Eric Zarahn July 21, 2010 @ 6:39 amBuilding an islamic mosque at ground zero in New York ten years after the 9/11 attack is tantamount to the japanese building a car company at Pearl Harbor ten years after world war II ended. No one would have allowed that and no one should allow this. When is our government going to start standing up for America and it’s citizens??
Comment by Capt. Frank July 21, 2010 @ 6:30 pmI AGREE, COMPLETELY!!! I am absolutely sick at heart with what is happening in America, itself, and to the loss (or control of) our freedoms!!
Comment by Nancy Ferguson July 22, 2010 @ 3:25 pmIf the people behind the proposed mosque had any compassion at all in theyre hearts, then they would not even consider this attrocitie. please let there be sense and compassion all over the world.england uk
