“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” - attributed to Edmund Burke
Mayor Michael Bloomberg was asked about his position on Rick Lazio’s call for an investigation into the Cordoba Initiative constructing a mega mosque near Ground Zero. The mayor claims any investigation into the mosque would be “out of character for what this nation stands for and the way we conduct ourselves.”
NY 1 reports, “Bloomberg blasted Lazio’s comment by saying an investigation would be un-American.”
Bloomberg added, "I don't think we're going to go and start investigating funding sources for religious organizations or vetting people who preach or pray in religious organizations.”
Like the Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo, the mayor is hiding behind the noble tenet of religious freedom to evade the political hot potato of investigating potentially dangerous operatives.
The Cordoba Institute has paid in cash nearly five-million dollars for the property in question; the funding of this project is not entirely revealed.
What we do know is that the president of the Cordoba Initiative desires Sharia law in the U.S., which will usurp the Constitution and inhibit religious freedom, free speech and women’s rights; those aforementioned violations of the Constitution are mild compared to the full implications of a Sharia compliant U.S.
What say you Mayor Bloomberg?
Additionally, the Initiative intending to construct the mosque near Ground Zero is partially funded by Malaysia, a foreign government actively & successfully pursuing Sharia law. Imam Rauf president of the Cordoba Initiative has launched the Sharia Project, which will advance its cause just steps away from Ground Zero.
This transcends religion; stopping such an insult protects freedom of religion in this country.
Most NYC voters oppose the mosque near Ground Zero; Mr. Mayor, are they un-American?
The Muslim terrorist that killed innocents in Fort Hood was allowed to plan and ultimately wage his jihad due to political correctness and cowardice. Every radical regime needed useful idiots in the West to further their agenda.
Michael Bloomberg is the mayor of a city where nearly 3,000 of his neighbors were killed by Muslim terrorists and he forgot quicker than those not in this city or country.
Under the mayor’s stewardship Ground Zero remains a vacant hole, for nearly 10-years; that runs counter to the character of this nation!
Meanwhile, steps away from the footprint of the World Trade Center towers, Islamic operatives not friendly to this nation’s laws are blessed by Andrew Cuomo and their designs are fast-tracked by the mayor and City Council.
The mayor has a penchant for dishonoring 9/11 victims and continues his errant and dare it be said un-American ways.
Mayor Bloomberg’s refusal to at least endorse an investigation into suspicious activity of an Initiative that calls for Sharia law and Dawa from the rubble of the World Trade Center runs counter to the character of this nation.

While Bloomberg watches not to step on someones toes he is actually squashing the American people's heads. An investigation would not be against what this country stands for, but what it actually stands against. Thank you for this great article.
Thanks for the details. It seems this is getting more complicated. What is Bloomberg concerned about?
New York Mayor bloomberg is traitor of Jews and USA.
Bloomberg needs to move to the middle east.Hes a jerk!
The Mosque is to be built, maintained, taxed, and paid for with AMERICAN DOLLARS. Its not as if "they're" coming in and taking over. To us, its considered sacred grounds but to someone else, in reality, its just another business venture. The cycle of capitalism is not prejudicial.
I am shocked at Bloomberg's indifference... seems he is more concerned about being politically correct than for the safety of Americans in New York and at large. After all,as the song says, if they(the terrorist) can make it there, they'll make it anywhere!!
Even if the intentions of the Cordoba Project would be good,and they may well be, the center will certainly stand as a symbol of victory for the terrorists and could well be at risk in future from takeover by Muslim groups who do not want to peacefully coexist with us. Wake up Bloomberg. Wake up New Yorkers sympathetic with this cause. Alone the lack of sensitivity to even consider putting this Islamic Center so close to Ground Zero should call into question the motives of this group.
Alex, valid points..but the bigger picture is that Codoba Initiative is also funded by foreign governments desiring to usurp our Constitution.
I find it very disturbing to think that the mayor of New York could be such a fool. Don't they realize that by opening this mosque on September 11, 2011 they are mocking us. Liberals, including many jews, and others, are stupid and quite unamerican. If that mosque is built, so help me God, it will be bombed off the face of New York, as it should be. To hell with all of you muslim loving ass holes.
Bloomberg is a traitor to the people of New York. Does he not realize that opening that mosque on September 11, 2011 they are laughing and mocking us. How stupid and insensitive can he be considering how many Americans lost their lives on that day. Shame on all the people who think it is just swell for the muslims to open up a mosque near ground zero. They should have their heads examined. Traitors.
Mayor Bloomberg is an idiot and a traitor to all the people who lost loved ones on 9/11.
The problem with the mayor of NYC is he is a typical progressive (old-new term for Liberal) They rather sing kumbaya with those actively & boldly trying to destroy America then stand up to them. standing up to the enemy requires will...both political & moral; Progressive only do what is expedient devoid of honor & morality is simply relative.
Mayor Bloomberg, did anyone in your family tree have Alzheimers? No, then you may be the first branch.
Interesting and insightful.
To the 12 of the 13 oppossed to the mosque, I agree with you. To the 1 out of the 13, Mr. Alex, you represent the ignorant who have not studied Shariah Law the Imam's self-proclaimed intentions, and followed the money to this project. The leaders behind this project know exactly what they are doing: Weiding their influence over those who call themselves politically correct.
Does the mayor & those supporting this have google? Of course they do...it is blind ideology that allows them to support anti-American projects. Shameful.
I think that Michael Bloomberg is not a stupid person not to know what I just eluded to. Although he belongs to the Jewish faith, I do not think that he is faithful to his faith. I think that he does not care to see the Mosque he is allowing to be built used to plot for attacking Israel, the US and anyone or anything that do not worship the prophet of Islam Mohamed. The Jewish people fool themselves into believing that the Moslems used to treat them well in the Islamic countries when the west mistreated them. This is wishful thinking. MOHAMED THE PROPHET OF ISLAM MASSACRED ALL JEWISH TRIBES (BANOU KURIZA, BANOU ALMOSTALAK and KHEIBR JEWISH TRIBES) IN MEDINA. AFTER MASSACRING ALL THE MEN, HE TOOK ALL THE JWISH WOMEN AND GAVE THEM AS SEX SLAVES TO HIS HORNY MEN. HE SELECTED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN FOR HIMSELF NAMED SAFIA. HE TOOK SAFIA AFTER KILLING HER HUSBAND AND FATHER INFRONT OF HER OWN EYESAND HAD SEX WITH HER (RAPED HER) TO HUMULATE HER. Continued Below
Part 2. SO, IN THE CORDOBA MOSQUE, IF THE MUSLIM WORSHIPERS WANT TO RESTORE THE GLORIOUS HISTORY OF MOHAMED, THE MUSLIMS WILL GO IN NEW YORK CITY KILLING ALL THE JEWISH MEN AND RAPING ALL THE JEWISH WOMEN. IS THIS WHAT BLLOMBERG WANTS. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
Bloomberg should be taught the facts about Islam and its unwavering hostility to all non Muslims and specifically Jews. I think that Bloomberg is doing a great harm to both Jewish and Christians, and mostly to the Jewish people. Why, because Israel is the only Jewish state, and ALL ISLAMIC COUNTRIES WOULD LOVE to SEE IT WITH ALL ITS JEWISH INHABITANTS COMPLETELY AND FOREVER WIPPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. THIS IS NOT DUE TO ISLAMIC FANATICS, THIS IS THE CORE OF ISLAMIC TEACHING BY THE QURAN. Bloomberg wants to allow the MUSLIMS to build a mosque on top of 9-11 ground zero. Continued....
Part 3 On 9-11 the Muslim Palestinians were rejoicing in the streets thinking that the inhabitants of the twin towers were their ONLY ENEMY (THE JEWS). What are the Muslims going to teach the attendants of the Mosque other than the Quran, and the Hadith (teachings and life of Mohamed, Islam's Prophet). Islam Holy Book "The Quran" in the Repentance Surah Verse 29 states: "Fight who do not believe in ALLAH AND THE Last Day FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK "CHRISTIANS AND JEWS" UNTIL THEY PAY THE JIZIAH (MONEY TO RANSOM THEMSELVES) WITH WILLING SUBMISSION, AND FEEL THEMSELVES SUBDUED. Muslims are commanded to fight and kill Christians and Jews according to the Quran. Michael Bloomberg allow them to build the Mosque so that they teach more of them to execute mass murder.According to the Muslims appologetics, they claim that the Mussad plotted to blew up the twin towers and no Muslim did it. Is this why Bloomberg is allowing the Muslims to build the Mosque, maybe Bloomberg knows this is true!!!
MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY MICHAEL BLOOMBERG HAS DISGRACED HIMSELF IN THE EYES OF 9-11 FAMILIES AND GOOD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. WHEREVER BLOOMBERG GOES, SO TOO DOES HIS TWIN, NEW YORKC CITY COUNCIL SPEAKER, CHRISTINE QUINN, BLOOMBERG'S YES-GIRL, WHO IS WELL KNOWN FOR HER MILITANT LESBIAN VIEWS. SHE TOO APPROVES OF A GROUND ZERO MOSQUE, TO FURTHER STAB THE BACKS OF 9-11 FAMILIES. BLOOMBER AND PEOLE LIKE CHRISTINE QUINN HOPE THAT NEW YORK STATE WILL HAVE GAY MARRIAGES, GAY CHILD ADOPTIONS AND A SHRINE TO TERRORISM IN THIS HOUSE OF SATAN THAT BLOOMBERG IS PUSHING. IF BLOOMBERG HAD HIS WAY, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A 50,000 SEAT FOOTBALL STADIUM IN MIDTOWN MIDTOWN NOW, FURTHER CONGESTING TRAFFIC AND HAD HE HAD HIS WAY, NEW YORKERS WOULD BE PAYING AN EXTRA $8.00 TO DRIVE INTO MANHATTAN, AS IF IT WAS A PRIVILEDGE. BLOOMBERG'S CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY BUDDIES WILL MAKE A FORTUNE FROM BUILDING THIS MOSQUE, I AM SURE AND I AM ALSO SURE THAT BLOOMBERG IS TRYING TO EXPAND HIS INVESTMENTS AND BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN THE MIDEAST BY KISSING ARAB ISLAMIC ASSES. WHAT A DISGRACE HE IS. SOMEONE SHOULD REMOVE HIM.
