Although the mosque has been getting most of the attention, their is an underlying ripple to this story that has not been touched by the mainstream, and that is the fac that a Greek Orthodox Church (which had been in place since 1922) destroyed on 9/11, still has not been able to get the ok to REBUILD their church. Once again, they already had a church near the ground zero sight, it was destroyed during 9/11, and the city of New York will not give them permits to rebuild, nor a location to do so.

Greek Orthodox Church or Mosque: Ground Zero

On September 11, 2001, over 3,000 Americans were taken from us by the evil acts of Islamic extremists bent on destroying our freedoms. Amid the thick smoke and choking ashes of that fateful day, the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was reduced to dust.

Since 1922, St. Nicholas Church had stood as a quiet sanctuary of prayer and reflection amidst the tumultuous and bustling crossroads of commerce. For the past nine years the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey has used bureaucratic obstacles and false promises to hinder the rebuilding of the St. Nicholas Church.



This must end and it must end now!

What an outrage that our government has put roadblocks in the path of its own citizens trying to rebuild their beloved church destroyed by Islamic extremists, while Saudi Arabia, a nation that prohibits people from even wearing a cross or the Star of David, now provokes the families of those who lost loved ones by apparently funneling money to build a mosque at the same location.

As your congressman, I will always remember that our constitutional freedom of religion starts with respecting our own sacred Judeo-Christian heritage. Now is the time for the Port Authority to stop hiding behind its bureaucracy and to facilitate the rebuilding of the St. Nicholas Church that was taken from us on that quiet September morning nearly a decade ago. The former St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was destroyed when the World Trade Center fell on it.

George Demos is a Republican candidate for New York’s First Congressional District.

On a side note, people have been calling for prominent Greeks like George Stephanopoulos to put in their opinion on the subject. He actually is for the mosque and his reasons are in the video below:


Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday defended the building of a mosque near Ground Zero as a monument to tolerance. Talking to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, he proclaimed, “This is a country founded on the notion of religious freedom. What better way to say they [the terrorists] haven’t won?”

Ingraham decried the plan for being so close to the site of 9/11 terrorist attack: “And I say the terrorists have won with the way this has gone down. 600 feet from where thousands of our fellow Americans were incinerated in the name of political Islam?”

This prompted the ABC co-host to chide, “In the name of militant, radical Islam, not in the name of Islam.”

A growing number of New York construction workers are vowing not to work on the mosque planned near Ground Zero.

"It's a very touchy thing because they want to do this on sacred ground," said Dave Kaiser, 38, a blaster who is working to rebuild the World Trade Center site.



"I wouldn't work there, especially after I found out about what the imam said about U.S. policy being responsible for 9/11," Kaiser said.




The grass-roots movement is gaining momentum on the Internet. One construction worker created the "Hard Hat Pledge" on his blog and asked others to vow not to work on the project if it stays on Park Place.



"Thousands of people are signing up from all over the country," said creator Andy Sullivan, a construction worker from Brooklyn. "People who sell glass, steel, lumber, insurance. They are all refusing to do work if they build there."

"Hopefully, this will be a tool to get them to move it," he said. "I got a problem with this ostentatious building looming over Ground Zero."



A planned 13-story community center and mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, Park51 has exploded into a national debate.


Louis Coletti, president of the Building Trades Employers' Association, said unions have not yet taken a "formal position" on Park51, but he understands why members would be hesitant to work there.



"It's a very difficult dilemma for the contractors and the organized labor force because we are experiencing such high levels of unemployment," he said. "Yet at the same time, this is a very sacred sight to the union guys."

"There were construction workers killed on 9/11 and many more who got horribly sick cleaning up Ground Zero," Coletti said. "It's very emotional."



L.V. Spina, a Manhattan construction worker who created anti-mosque stickers that some workers are slapping on their hardhats, said he would "rather pick cans and bottles out of trash cans" than build the Islamic center near Ground Zero.




"But if they moved it somewhere else, we would put up a prime building for these people," he said. "Hell, you could do it next to my house in Rockaway Beach, I would be fine with it. But I'm not fine with it where blood has been spilled."



Spina, who sells 9/11 apparel on his website, said he's printed thousands of stickers and plans to produce thousands more.

"They're going all over the country," he said. "They got pretty popular fast."



Popularity aside, there are some construction workers choosing not to set themselves against the project.

"Hundreds of guys here are wearing stickers as a sign of protest, but I'm on the fence about it," said Frank Langan, 50, a site superintendent from Queens working at Ground Zero.




"It's a tough debate," he said. "I sympathize with workers' position, but at the same time, you can't single out all Muslims because of a small number of terrorists."

I need to see if these are VD approved sources before I comment. Night all

You are the dumbest fuck i have ever seen here in my 8 years. You seriously are. I could name people you have never even heard of here that are smarter than you you dumb fuck. It's called BETTORS CHAT. Nowhere in that title does it imply anything but sports and betting you stupid fuck. I am far from the only one who would love to see this forum gone so dumb mother fuckers like you that do absolutely nothing here gambling or sports related will leave. You ruin the site for many who don't give 2 shits about Obama, Bush or your dumbass.

P.S. Do you even know what a vagina is? I'm thinking the only one you will ever see is in a mirror. I figured since you had multiple posts in this thread trying your best to call me out, i would post in here for the 1st time and give you what you wanted.

[wayne1218]

It will be fuckin great terd breath during football season when we lose more and more guys that come here and see politics are now the main topic on the front page. I can't fuckin wait. Maybe Monte will just change the name of this place to Politics.com for your dumbass and open a different one for sports and gambling ......

[kbsooner21]

Get rid of this idiot Wayne

[wayne1218]

I'll tell you why threads have so many views terd breath. It's because of fucking IDIOTS like YOU refreshing and going back to the same threads 100 times you dumb fuck. Are you too stupid to know how that works or too stupid to realize all those people you say are now posting in here are still the same ones who always have you dumb fuck. You can count the main people on 2 hands idiot. You are a fuckin moron.

I'm a baby? I've got two babies i'll lay on your chin and feed you if you want scumbag.

[wayne1218]

This forum was closed down during last football season terd breath and for good reason. Monte did it because he knew his bread and butter here was built on gambling & sports, not politics dummy and it was disturbing to many who came and left when they saw the site was changing over to a political rant. You can tell people not to look all day long but when it is constantly shoved in everybody's face, it is hard to avoid it. I have fun with it at times too but when football comes again, it will turn annoying again (For me)
