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 :/

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

whilst the people who did 9/11 were murderers and had nothing to do with Islam (they may have mistakenly thought they did, they were wrong)

this would be a silly idea and would be like planning to open a gun club in Whitehaven.

ie guns are not the problem, madmen are - but lets not open a gunclub anytime soon..

Horrible idea and an insult to the dead victims that appears to have been put forward by a bunch of nepotistic muslim property developers and the ominously named American Society for Muslim Advancement from the sounds of that article.

It's quite an inflammatory idea and probably not the best proposition for the sake of safety of it's practitioners.
