We Stand With the Victims of 9/11,
We Oppose the Mosque at “Ground Zero,” and
We Urge You to Join Us in Opposition
To Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Elected Officials of New York:We the undersigned join with millions of Americans who are opposed to the founding of a mosque at the very site where Islamist jihadists destroyed the World Trade Center and took the lives of nearly 3,000 people.
We are opposed to the grotesque symbolism represented by the building of this mosque at “ground zero.” We are especially appalled that those pushing for this mosque have designated its grand opening date for September 11, 2011 – the ten year anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
We are deeply disturbed by the insensitivity to the families of the victims of the 9/11 jihadist attack exhibited by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his supporters. We find it grossly hypocritical that Islamists and their allies repeatedly lecture Americans about the need to be “sensitive” to Muslims while Imam Rauf and his allies practice the height of intolerance and insensitivity through the blatant act of building a mosque at “ground zero.”
We are offended by the views Imam Rauf has expressed about 9/11, such as his conspiratorial theory that Muslims did not perpetrate the 9/11 attack and that America’s policies were partly to blame for the attack. Such views are a slap in the face of the victims and families of 9/11.
We find it repulsive that Imam Rauf and his followers and supporters would seek to build a mosque near ground zero promoting the same Sharia ideology that the 9/11 hijackers used as the justification for their act of unconscionable murder.
Therefore, in deference to the families of the 9/11 victims and their memory, we call upon the elected officials of New York to oppose the building of this mosque near ground zero and for them to urge Feisal Abdul Rauf and his followers to find another location for it.
No Sharia in America. Period.
Vehemently opposed to nyc mosque……it is an insult to all who died on september 11 and using that same date in 2011 adds insult to injury.
I can say after careful thinking that I feel the Muslim community in america should be allowed to build a mosque wherever they want, but not in a place where the people of the same religion killed thousands of americans on 9/11. It really is insulting that this people think they can buy there way into NYC. Everyone knows that a mosque 2 blocks from ground zero will ultimaely end up a center for terrorsim in NYC. Correct me if im wrong but dont they have a mosque already? Go build a middle eastern restraunt or some crap but dont come into my country and think you can buy sh*t up and build whatever you want. I hope This gets rejected. If not this will be the start of the end as we know it.
Obama is a true Muslim and i salute him and may Allah bless him with long life!This is the great victory to all Muslims that we are building this mosque as a symbol of success. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America.After this 9/11 almost 1.5 million Latinos converted to Islam.The mosque in Ground zero is very significant to all 8 million devout Muslims in America.President Obama you are doing wonderful job towards Islam in America.Inshallah we will build islamic schools and Islamic restaurant for our ummah! allah hu akhbar!
i respect a muslims,but u can not build a “monument” on the place,where some of u killed amerikans
No mosque near Ground Zero.
We can not respect those who dont respect us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not only an insult to the families who lost their loved ones on 9/11 but also an insult to all of America!! America welcomes everyone to live here and yet some show their respect by killing innocent individuals. How can Obama allow such a horrific thing being built by those who killed so many people? Immigration from all over the world should have been stopped years ago because now we see where it is headed…
I am truly appalled that our country would even entertain this idea. It is insensitive and disregards all the victims of 9-11. In addition, what about the victims families that have to observe this act of pure insult.
let them build it!
Then on 9/11/13, blow it away with a bomb that has a picture of Mohammad on it!
Allowing this mosque to be built, at ground zero no less, shows that America will allow itself to be bullied by reglious fanatics.
I believe the people who lost their lives on 911 would tell you all something from heaven, that you would be surprised to hear.
They do not resent the religion that was practiced by the people who were responsible for taking their lives. They resent the anger and judgement that YOU have in common with the people who were responsible for taking their lives.
People who ventriloquise the dead need immediate medical attention or jail.
Islam is not a religion of peace, its an evil cult. And this is a slap in the victims face as well as the citizens of NY. And to mohammed islam screw you. Why don’t all you muslims go back to the mental east.. I pray this moster of a building will not be built. This monster of a building does not need to be built there.
I like the way you think Keith..
The thought of having a mosque at or near the 911 sight is unbelievable. Who in our government is being paid off to give permission to these terrible people to build with Muslim terrorist money?
Myrna please watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDs-hCIL_wM
I cant see and I cant believe that a mosque can be build near the WTC. Do you forget 9/11???
unbelievable where is America?
No mosque near Ground Zero.
Shame on elected officials of NY.
American’s aren’t angry because Islam is building another mosque. They are angry about the location, 600 feet from ground zero, and the timing, the 10th anniversary of 9/11. In Islam a mosque is more than a place of worship. It is a symbol, a symbol of victory over the infidels. Muhammad built a mosque at the Ka’aba, a pagan pantheon, when he conquered Mecca. Muslims erected a mosque over the holiest site in Judaism (the Temple mount) when they conquered Jerusalem. When Muslims conquered the Christian city of Damascus they built their chief mosque (Ummayad Mosque) over the Church of Saint John. When the Muslims conquered Cordoba, they transformed the city’s cathedral into a mosque. Similarly, Muslims desecrated the Orthodox Cathedral of Constantinople (Hagia Sophia) when they conquered Constantinople. They transformed the city’s chief church into a mosque by painting over the images of Christ and writing verses from the Koran over them. Likewise, Muslims have built mosques over Hindu temples and shrines. Definition of a chump – a person who is gullible and easy to take advantage of. Americans are not chumps.
My stomach is churning in disgust over the mere suggestion of having a mosque built on Ground Zero.
Amen, “MrDavidKolds”! Cannot people see the pattern here that these mosques are these sick Muslim’s symbols of ‘VICTORY’ over the “infidels” like you mentioned?
I say if they want mosques so da#mned bad, then BUILD THEM IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!!!!!!! And “Olga” is right…. immigration should have stopped a LONG TIME AGO! Because now we must be ridiculously “politically correct” and accomodate them and their BULLS#IT beliefs/religion as well! “Political Correctness,” tolerance and Social Justice must DIE before it overtakes the America we all once loved, and the freedoms we enjoy!
Liberal Ideas have destroyed this country and will bankrupt it. These guys want to implement Sharia law here. They want to name the center the Cordoba center ( the conqueror) They destroyed the twin towers and are going to raise up a Mosque and look out the window and see the land that they conquered. What a joke ( just another liberal communist idea) Just another redistribution of wealth ideology. They think communism can work because they are in control. ( the Obama Regime) In fact just more failed policy.
Pat, says It is no longer, ” WE THE PEOPLE”……It has come down to Good against EVIL …..Evil is very pervasive. We have the TRUTH and the TRUTH will keep US FREE. People seek the TRUTH and more are seeing the LIGHT…….We must stand for what is RIGHT, and if they get away with this…WE build a HOOTERS, right next door !!! That idea was expressed by someone on TV..I love it…..Tired of having NO say…thanks to the DEMS and coward REPUBLICANS
Muslims in NYC are already threatening bar owners who exist ‘too close’ to existing mosques, let alone one of that importance. No disrespect Pat but you and few people yet realize exactly what we are up against. Muslims would murder the families of all involved if they tried to open a Hooters next door. We, the western world, have already lost many of our most fundamental freedoms to Islam through a 2 fold attack on them. 1. They will use physical force to get their way, which is to stop us from getting ours in our own lands, and 2. our governments make our desires illegal as racist or what have you if Muslims find it offensive, which if it inhibits Islamic ambitions, it will.
If Obama is Isalmic and allowing this mosque to built on a sacared place where American lives were lost because of his religion then I am ashamed that we fellow Americans have not caused more to get this man removed from Office. AMERICAN PLEASE WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING TO RESTORE THIS GREAT NATION. IT ISNT ABOUT BEING RACISTS, ITS ABOUT PROTECTING OUR AMERICAN FREEDOMS!! IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH
The rag heads should have no rights to place anything ANY WHERE NEAR THE SACARED AREA WHERE AMERICAN LIFES WERE TAKEN DUE TO ISALMIC COWARDS!
Build it, let them fill it up then…. BLOW IT UP!! PAY BACKS ARE HELL!!
GOD & GUNS = THE AMERICAN WAY
try building a church in a muslim country, it will not happen. This is an insult to the people who died on 911. Your country respects other religions and cultures but this is a slap in the face.
protest dont let them build it…..
All of my life I have heard the phrases “American will fall without a shot being fired” and “America will be destroyed from within.” For the past 30 years I had always scoffed a bit because I couldnt imagine how it could occur.
Now, I understand.
The Community Board 1 in lower Manhattan are scumbags.
Sept 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows need to rethink their opinion.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg should never hold public office again.
New York City Comptroller John Liu should never hold public office again.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn should never hold public office again.
What greedy pigs, selling this country little by little .. to foreign investors .. to fatten their bank accounts. It is surreal … and it keeps happening.
These bleeding heart liberals are too self-absorbed for “our” own good. Just because these muslim are saying “we want peace. we dont want to kill you”, doesnt make it true. Look at the damn vacanat space that was once WTC and remember who destroyed them.
Why do we even tolerate an ideology which is completely intolarant of others and so medevial! It is 100% incompatible with a modern democracy! The followers of this dangerous ideology (it is not just a religion) just use and abuse any system they get their hands on. What is their contribution to this country’s democracy?
I am outraged!! Is it okay as an American I buy a parcel of land and build as Im told anything i want on it.?? So i build a huge statue with a middle finger up.How long will it take to make me tear it down.? yet the muslims can do that to us Americans.?? Give us the middle finger after 9-11. How pathetic. Embarrassed to be an American,mosque on our sacred ground or anywhere near it is an outrage!!!”Its not about rights…its about what is RIGHT!!!
so lets have the grand opening of the mosque 9-11-11…huh? what does that say!! omg, angry, sad , sickened, and speechless… slap in our face.. the finger…call it what it is…take off your rose colored glasses and wake up Americans!!
I pray to stop this abomination against the victims and families of New York and the USA of the 911 disaster. It ruined my birthday and was the worst birthday of my life. I hope we can do something to stop them from building this mosque at ground zero!
Thank you for caring and giving us a place to fight back!
God Bless, with Love

Stop the Islamization of Our beloved Western Civilization. Stop Islam barbarism and savagery. Stop building any mosque more. Stop Mecca Islam Mafia. Stop such bad garbage of Islam and Koean. ban Koran and outlaw Islam. Islam is not a “relegion: at all it is a political mafia to destroy our country the USA. No more influx of Muzlims to the USA. Build a Synagauge for Jews and a Cathedral for Christians in Mecca Instead. Thanks Save Our Western Civilization. Don’t let Islam invade and occupy the West, the same Islam has done in the Middle East and North Africa > Islam killed Copts, Assyrians Armenians, Slovacks, Spanish, Persians, etc. Islam destroyed the historical libraries of Alexandria, Egypt> Islam cut off the tongues of our forefathers to destroy our Coptic Idenitity. Islam made Copts 3’d degree citizens after Muslim women. Islam has been occupiying our Coptic Egypt for 1400 yaers. Stop the Mosque and ever mosque so the USA would never be occupied by Islam Mafia and Mafia Islam . Thanks Let us liberate Muslims whole are vitims of islam and Liberate Egypt and the middle east from Islam scourges.
Stop the mosque at the ground zero site and the insulting threat of evil Islamization against our beloved America. Stop the mosque which is a filed affront designed to tell the Muslims that Islam has succeeded victorious in killing the infidels and has the upper hand above non-Moslems. We don’t want Islam mafia and Islam mafia to invade and occupy the Western World. Islam Has invaded our Coptic nation of Egypt and occupied it for 1400 years. Egypt and the whole Middle East, Iran, Spain, Anatolia, etc. Spain succeeded in liberating southern of Spain from Islam after 800 years of barbaric savagery. Copts of Egypt, Assyrians, Spaniards, Anatolians, Africans, Persians, Armenians, Slovaks, etc. have been suffered from Islam. Copts, the natives of Egypt have been persecuted. Muslim Arabs destroyed the Egyptian civilization. We don’t want Islam to destroy our Western civilization as they did with Copts. Copts are considered 3dr degree citizens in Egypt after Muslim women. Muslims burned down the historical library of Alexandria and cut off the tongues of our forefather if they spoke the Coptic language to wipe out our Coptic identity. Muslims imposed on our forefathers waging the war and paying the “penalty tribute” on Copts up to 90%v of their income so that Copts will give up and join the camp of Islam (club of mafia). Ban Koran and outlaw Islam mafia and mafia Islam to protect our Western civilization from barbarism. No more mosques to be built, but rather build a Synagogue for Jews and a Cathedral for Christians in Mecca. Deport Muslims who don’t confirm and respect our Judeo-Christian ethics. No more influx of Muslims. Muslims have 4 wives taking “welfare” and insulting infidels.
Oppose, oppose, oppose. Are we all asleep at the switch?
Are there any formal groups opposing this that I can volunteer with? Letter writing, word processing, demonstrating, whatever, I’ll do it.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Help Exposing “Islam Mafia” and “Mafia Islam” To Win the War on Terrorism
Wake up Western Civilization and vomit Islam Mecca Mafia and Mafia Mecca Islam. Stand up High Western Civilization to outlaw the fascist-racist Islam mafia which was founded by the pervert-pedophile Mahomet in the 7th century who had six-year old child (Aisha) as a wife whom was under seventeen when Mahomet died, after nine years of having sex with her. Western Civilization, speak out against sexist-Islam which was founded by the Illiterate-Lice Mahomet, the child molester, sex offender and rapist who had sex with two of his aunts. Western Civilization, stop the influxes of Islamic barbaric mafia run by Koran’s agenda (33:26-27) to overwhelm, undermine within and wipe out our descent cultures and civilized values and replace them with savage-barbaric Sharia compliant. Western Civilization, stop building any mosque and ban out vile “Koran”, the fascist-racist ideology and stop out the “Islamization of the West”. To save our Western-civilization identity ban “Koran” (inferno and porno profane manual), outlaw Islam like Nazism and Fascism and stop the influx of Muslims. To save our human rights of freedoms and women rights we must outlaw Islam’ Shari’a in the West and the USA. Our freedoms of choice, speech, expression, opinion, liberty, association, belief are at stakes. America is at cross roads either to defend our liberty of 2000-year development to have individual liberty or to die. We chose the first determination to outlaw Islam of fascism and the fascism of Islam. No more mosques, no more Muslims or accommodation to non-Western barbarism. All stripes of the political spectrum are threatened to lose its dear liberty. Women will lose their liberation movement and be just sexual objects and chattels for Muslim men. USA, get back on track of our dear liberty and expel (petrol dollar) Saudi, Egyptian, Somali and Pakistani devout Muslims, the worshippers of the butcher Mahomet, the caravan-looter and terrorist mobster. Save America from tyranny and despotism. Islam is not a “religion” but rather a “gangster”. Don’t let America a devouring prey to the cancerous epidemic of Islam like the Coptic-Christian Egypt which is under Islam’s occupation for 1400 year. Wake Up for human liberty, freedom and liberation.
on 9-11 we were asleep going about our day thinking no one would ever dare to attack us on our own soil,how wrong we were,and that blind attitude cost us thousands of lives and not just in NY we are STILL losing lives to this assult,the fact that the Mosque will only be 600 feet away is just wrong,but the fact we are allowing it while we have troops overseas dying becuase of it is just insane,NO,NO,NO!!! move the Mosque!! Nothing good will come of this watch what I tell you this could be a very very bad thing,,and why are we paying this IMAM for anything ,my god the White house has lost its mind!!
I look forward to the day when I see those spineless cowardly politicians backing the mosque swinging from the lamp posts of NYC.
aww Joseph no violence please I get this is offensive to most ,but we are not them and never will be..
In the 8th century, Moslems invaded Spain and took 25000 teenage girls as sex slaves to Mecca. Pervert sodomy, pederasty and pedophilia are permitted by Koran like Mahomet did it with ”Aisha” the six-year-old child. Mahomet had sex with two of his aunts, a dead woman in her tomb, a blind-fat woman and the wife of his adopted son. In Islam, it is allowed to have as many women and children for sex as you like either caught or kidnapped as slaves in wars, conflicts or disputes or bought at any price, or swapped or sold, etc. Such victims of women are called the “right-hand-possessed” women as sex objects, slaves and commodities (Koran 4:24). In Islam, Moslems are obliged to fight to “kill and be killed” for the victory of Mahomet (9:111). In Koran, all chapter nine, (9:5, 14, 29 73, 111 and (33:26-27) are the political platform and ideological agenda of Islam’s fascist-racist mafia. To know more visit websites: (prophetofdoom.net), (jihadwatch.org) and (ftherzakaria.com).
We are suggesting that the Home Security Department to study such proposal to help and consolidate the efforts of exposing “Islam” as we know it in its own Arabic language and culture on Satellite-TV stations to reach out the victims of Islam : Moslems and non-Moslems alike in the whole Middle East and other places globally. Moslems and non-Moslems need to be liberated from Islam scourges. We don’t want another Othman Islam to siege again the gates of Vienna, Austria 300 years ago. Today, thousands of ex Moslems in Egypt (estimated in millions, up to 10 millions) are rounded up in state-run prisons for abandoning Islam as a creed and torturing them on a daily basis and denying their basic human rights of liberty. The estimated toll number of human victims caused by Islam since it was established by Mahomet till our days around five hundred (500) million people. The leader hero of “exposing Islam” is the Coptic Christian-priest Father “Zakaria” whom we should help him precisely morally and financially to build his own satellite-TV to reach out Moslems globally in multi languages. My suggestion is to help him at all means. His website is (fatherzakaria.com). When Moslems abandon Islam’s doctrines, we are winning the “war on terror” and saving our Western civilization from collapse.
Stop such farce of building mosques (terrorist Camps in the USA). Are we kidding ourselves? Are we really fighting terrorism and making a war on Islamic terrorism or just a false propaganda? Where is National home security? Obama is a muzlim traitor. Sorry!
This is definitely a slap in the face to all the victims and their surviving family members of 9/11/2001. And why would we let them and why would they want to open this “hell hole” on 9/11/11? Only one reason,..because they are mocking the deaths of all the innocent lives they took. Think about it,..why else would they choose the 10th year anniversary of that horrific day if for no other reason than to thumb their nose at America, all those that died and all those left behind that mourn?
This is not a religion of peace but one of hatred and evil beliefs? They are a million times worse than the KKK and we don’t allow them to practice their beliefs, why do we allow this to take place in our country? ..this isn’t a religion is it an abomination,..there is nothing religious about these people,..they believe in hate and death,..what’s so holy about that?
Would they allow a Christian church next to oranywhere near a mosque on their land? Just what is going thru the minds of our upper echelon (leaders?)?.
Anyone that agrees with the building of the mosque is NOT American. That include our retarded president. I agree with freedom of religion but when you take it this far a line has to be drawn. If this gets built, it will mark the beginning of the fall of America.
We as AMERICANS must stand up and fight for what is right. Building a Mosque is not the right thing to do. Our nation was built on Christianity and we need to keep it that way.
