On 9/11 the Towers fell on a Christian Church and crushed it. The picture is a couple minutes before the tower fell on it. Neither the church nor the replacement for the Towers has been completed; in fact, building hasn’t even begun. What is on the fast track is a 13 to 15 story mosque a few hundred feet from ground zero.
Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America, Archbishop Demetrios, said about a month after Islamic Terrorists launched the worst attack on US soil, that St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church would be rebuilt on the same ground.
It’s was a small structure, four stories, and its rebuilding is being stopped by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; for whatever reasons St. Nicholas can’t be rebuilt on its original site. A new site about a block away has been agreed to, but still the Port Authority is blocking it. The reason given is because of a security wall that has to go up, or be designed, or agreed to, or some such thing. After more than a decade? Are you kidding? Is there a better example of government incompetence? Well, yeah, but we need to stay on this story.
The church wants to build one block to the northeast of its original site. It’s a bigger site, so the church wants to build a bigger church and add a dome. That’ll make it six times as large as the original. Of course the Port Authority has problems with that.
Executive director of the Port Authority, Chris Ward: “We understand the church’s mission. It is part of the history of the site and we want to maintain that. We just need to put the project in the right context.” Right context? It’s a church where Christians go to worship. What context? These people don’t have a place of worship, and the knuckleheads at the Port Authority have no clue.
The original church was built in 1919, converting a tavern into a church. It’s been moved several times over the years, and this latest structure would be 24,000 sqiare feet with a dome. The Port Authority though is telling them to build a smaller building. Meanwhile, down the street and a few blocks away, it’s okay to build a huge mosque several stories high and several acres large. Plus there will be the call to prayer five times a day blaring across the city.
Can’t replace the Trade Center. Can’t allow a Christian church to be built. Enthusiastically promotes a mosque that is a tribute to Islam conquering America. Of course Leftists approve of this. Trade Center is a symbol of Capitalism. Church of course is Christian. Mosque is the symbol of fascism.

What's especially scary to me is that, when I brought this story up in conversation with someone I consider a good friend ... just a mention in passing, not even expressing my opinion on it ... he immediately got very confrontational, questioning why I'd even think it's something worth mentioning, and saying "It's a free country." I was shocked, especially when, if the circumstances were turned around a bit, I think he would have been the first to complain to me about Christians getting a place of worship to go up in that area. I am truly baffled.
Thanks for the link about Obama http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052748704164904575421363005578460.html
A true assessment.
RE: The conversation about the NY mosque and your friend that got confrontational. I spend much time, as you could probably guess, dealing with these kind of people, mostly on Facebook and sometimes on this blog. They're all emotions, formed by the zeitgeist, and can't stand to actually think about things. Anything that challenges their belief system (BS) gets them all fussy. I'm baffled too. Where are the Leftist feminists, protesting honor killings, or the Leftists that say they find pedophilia abhorrent yet support judges that set them free, and I'm sure you can think of lots more in that vein. We are both baffled by the bizarre.
