Only in New York!

I know it's not politically correct to say so but it appears as rubbing salt in the wound to me. Another case of politicians not listening to their constituents.

There is a tiny historical Greek Orthodox (Eastern Christian) church nestled about two blocks from Ground Zero. They do not know from day to day whether the church will be allowed to stay. The Greek Church helped keep early Christianity alive. Whether your church accepts any of its beliefs - other than belief in God and Jesus Christ it helped to keep the faith and get you where you are. I am having a really hard time over this development!

earthmomma I think you said the operative word ... "Christian" which in this administration and to some degree today is a taboo.

Anything to do with Christianity, that the government has anything to comment on or with or do with is a problem with separation of church and state however Muslims are a different story.

As demonstrated with our Attorney General, Erik Holder, under examination by Congress he was extremely apprehensive to even mention that there is Radical Muslims. He was "afraid' to offend some religion. Again the operative word here is Christian .. I'm afraid that Church is in serious trouble now and will have to relocate if the government remains predictable.

I am apalled! Once again, this is a case of good common sense - NOT being put to use. As Terrell said, they are not listening to their constituents. IMO, this is out-right blasphemy!

I couldn't agree more. Muslims destroyed buildings and lives that day -- it's distasteful and disrespectful. There are plenty of other places to put a mosque without doing it there. The Constitution gives them the right to freedom of religion, but it doesn't give them the right to put it anywhere they want.

Why is that almost everyone I talk to or read thier comments feels the way I do and that you all do, but yet the man is in the office. I used to say jokingly that he was the antichrist beginning to wonder if it was a joke now
