Mosque supporter: 9/11? Get over it!

Perhaps this isn't the best way to get your point out in a positive fashion, and although at Murray Report we have been rather supportive of the proposal to build an Islamic centre near Ground Zero in New York, there are a few things we simply cannot ignore.

Namely, a video where a mosque supporter is seen telling those involved in the attacks in September of 2001 to simply 'get over it'.

“God d****it, my wife is Jewish. Come on you guys, get over it”, the man said in regards to 9/11 after trying to draw an analogy using the Vietnam War. Right after he says to “get over it”, a lady responded “Oh my God, I’m not going to get over it- it happened right there”, pointing towards Ground Zero. An argument then breaks out between the two. Typically, he later calls her a “racist”. [Via Breitbart]

Harry Reid opposes Ground Zero mosque

Harry Reid, an influential US politician, has spoken out publicly in support of those who protest the building of a mosque just a few blocks from the former site of the World Trade Centre in New York, where the structure collapsed after terrorist attacks in 2001.

Reid is said to support religious freedom, but thinks the mosque should be built somewhere else.

According to Politico:

“The First Amendment protects freedom of religion,” Reid spokesman Jim Manley said in a statement. "Sen. Reid respects that but thinks that the mosque should be built someplace else. If the Republicans are being sincere, they would help us pass this long-overdue bill to help the first responders whose health and livelihoods have been devastated because of their bravery on 9/11, rather than continuing to block this much-needed legislation."

Conservative Party plans anti-mosque TV campaign

New York's Conservative Party is reportedly planning to add a television advertising campaign to the already heavy firepower it is throwing at plans to build a mosque near New York's 'Ground Zero'. This site is where where the World Trade Centre collapsed in September of 2001 after attacks related to terrorism.

The ad, of which the Associated Press has obtained a copy, states rather clearly that "real Americans" want real answers about any proposed Islamic Centre.

It also calls on viewers to contact the partial owners of the land on which the mosque is said to stand in the future, in an effort to have people pressure the company into halting the plans.

This is, however, unable to happen under current agreements. The utility which owns the land has already signed a legally binding document which allows the mosque to be built on the site.
