Obama Ground Zero Mosque Comments Spark More Political Discourse
President Obama spoke about the lower Manhattan Muslim community center Friday night which started more Ground Zero fighting. He said Muslims have the very same rights as any other religion within the U.S. Right wing Republicans instantly pounced on his comments, vowing to use them against Democrats in the fall midterm elections. Chatter became very heated. All the Ground Zero bars, strip joints and liquor stores did great business this weekend nevertheless. The weekend still help worship services for the mosque that is near ground zero already. Article source - Obama Ground Zero mosque comments spark more political discourse by Personal Money Store.
Ground zero as it concerns politicians
Friday night was the beginning of the Muslim holiday, Ramadan, which is when Obama decided to speak at the Ground Zero mosque on the issue. Apparently the president explained, according to ABC News, in "forceful tones" about how American values should be probably the most essential thing when it comes to everything around Ground Zero. Democrats running in midterm elections quailed at the prospect of defending the president's statement. In a CNN poll taken last week, 68 percent of respondents said they opposed the plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero. It would seem that Republicans who have seen that response have pandered to the voters. The New York Times quotes Newt Gingrich saying Obama was "pandering to radical Islam."
Putting Obama Ground Zero comments in context
The Ground Zero mosque is emerging as a divisive issue within the midterm elections. Because Obama is supporting the Muslim community so much, Republicans call him "out of touch" and plan to use that in elections against him. We get to see what the Washington Post puts as Obama's comments with additional things that other media left out conveniently:
Now, we must all recognize and respect the sensitivities surrounding the development of Lower Manhattan. The 9/11 attacks were a deeply traumatic event for our country. And the pain and the experience of suffering by those who lost loved ones is just unimaginable. So I understand the emotions that this issue engenders. And Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground.
Lower Manhattan has mosques already
The Ground Zero mosque, a local issue, is now political fodder for a bogus national referendum. Nobody at Ground Zero seems to really notice. Indy Posted reports you will find numerous mosques in lower Manhattan. 2,000 feet from Ground Zero, there is a mosque already in use. The Muslim community center would rise 686 feet closer. Anyone coming to Ground Zero where the worst terrorist attack in America happened can take care of personal business including getting porn and betting on horses, reports the New York Daily News. If you go two blocks down the road, you can see nearly naked women on the Pussycat Lounge windows. Of course an American flag has to be posted in the window of the marquee at the Thunder Lingerie and peep show next door, right above all the sex toys.
