On Muslims and Religious Freedom

Defending the notion that the government has no place in deciding whether or not a Mosque may be built near Ground Zero, Ed Koch was quoted by the Huffington Post:

"Government should neither favor nor hinder the efforts of religious institutions, other than to protect their rights to engage in carrying them out as permitted under the First Amendment of the Constitution."

Thank you Mayor

Fabulous - agree totally. We can't let the recent problems with a radical sect color our perceptions of a huge part of the population.

Do you agree with Peter King's Hearings on Muslim Radicalism?

No-The whole thing smacks of McCarthyism! And just for the record, I remember those days...how sad.

Great news!!
According to ABC News:
"The backers of the controversial "Ground Zero Mosque" have won a court fight clearing the way for them to build the mosque and community center complex two blocks from the site of the 9/11 terror attack. "
