Mayor Michael Bloomberg

NEW YORK – Mayor Michael Bloomberg delivered an impassioned speech at an event marking the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, saying that not allowing a proposed mosque to be built near ground zero would be "compromising our commitment to fighting terror with freedom."
"We would undercut the values and principles that so many heroes died protecting," Bloomberg said at the dinner Tuesday in observance of Iftar, the breaking of the daily fast during Ramadan.
The mayor said he understood the "impulse to find another location for the mosque" but a compromise won't end the debate.
"The question will then become how big should the no-mosque zone around the World Trade Center be," Bloomberg said. "There is already a mosque four blocks away. Should it, too, be moved?"
Sharif el-Gamal, the mosque site's developer, and Daisy Khan, a co-founder of the group planning the mosque, were also at the dinner attended by about 100 people, including members of the Muslim community and city officials such as police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.

The American people are losing control of our country because of people like Mayor Bloomberg talking crap like above. As if we don't have enough problems with Muslims behind us telling us we need to run our country their way, and the Mexicans in front of us saying no do it our way. Our own politicians on our left giving into them all just for the votes. And then on the right side of us every other foreigner trying to take over our country. And then there's Obama? And when any American speaks up and says their tired of all this crap, they make us into the bad guys. What a screwed up country this has become! Look out people I think we're surrounded from all sides with no where to turn. Whatever happen to people coming to our country for a better way of life and assimilating into our culture? If they want America to be like their own country, why even come here in the first place?
