What is this madness :/ Surely can't go ahead.

One of the sickest Ideas I have ever heard.

He's not Muslim himself, but his dad was. Apparently most politicians were for it. It really can't or won't happen though. It is ridiculous. But I can't believe the idea has even made the news or being made know to the public :/

No he isnt, he is a Christian. Wikipedia says of him: His father was raised a Muslim, but became a confirmed atheist. Obama was baptized at the Trinity United Church of Christ in 1988 and was an active member there for two decades.

Obama resigned from Trinity during the Presidential campaign after controversial statements made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright became public.Obama announced in June 2009 that his primary place of worship would be the Evergreen Chapel at Camp David

Is this some kind of sick joke? They can't be serious with this one.

Pat Condell should be our PM

He is a legend. That is how I found out about this.

Seriously, why isn't this fella on the box? Too straightforward about things? Is the too dangerous for general consumption?

Think he is too blunt. He is saying what the goverment does not want to hear. Saying what the middle class deem as 'racist' saying what the working class say without being shouted down as racist. Britain could not handle him.

Yeah, he's far too blunt about things but he speaks alot of sense, albeit in a too forceful and direct manner.

Yet he could easily debate any of his points. If people pussy foot around Islam you have to be forceful about your speech.

I don't find him the most likeable of chaps though, think that's my main issue with him. His points are valid but he just doesn't float my boat and personality goes along way lol.

No problem with it at all.

I like his sarcastic wit really. Goes well with the joke the UK has become. I've watched all of his vids, he makes very good points.

Why?

It's ******ing offensive! I can't believe for one minute any American will be OK with this. I don't see the point, as InOne put nicely, in pussy-footing around with serious matters like this. You might aswell come out a say what most of the population is saying anyway, there's no point in trying to play it down in order to satisfy everyone.

Fair enough putting a mosque in NYC. I can see arguments for that. But suggesting it be put at Ground Zero, where hundereds of people died from an Islamic attack, is disrespectful to the families and anyone else effected by 9/11. I'd be gobsmacked if this went ahead.

I think he uses it far too much really when you think about the topics he's trying to highlight. That's my main reservation about him.

Stupid idea. At the end of the day, the Qu'ran was the reason the WTC attacks happened.

But no brother, Islam is about peace. You just don't get Islam, Muhammed was not a militant he was a peace loving prophet :rolleyes:

I'm astonished that the US government would let this happen. It's completely inappropriate.

Talk about rubbing salt in a wound :nono:

Should be fun watching to see how many attempts there are to blow it up by home grown militants if it does ever get built.

Mind you it would probably make the Department for Homeland Security's job a little easier.

Drunk

We'll let him off

Hope so :/ Don't really see any logic to what he's saying.

So messed up in so many ways, dont think it will go ahead cause to much outrage..
