Should we just make a law that says no religious buildings be built by foreign money?
We don't allow foreign contributions to political parties, why can Saudi Arabia and Iran with Qatar funnel their money to force their religion on us? If the muslims living here can build the mosques on their own, by all means it would be a bit different. But we have seen evidence otherwise. I don't see them comming up with 100 million dollars to build a supermosque in a part of Manhattan where there are very few muslims..if you have ever been to New York that part of Manhattan is the Financial District and most of the muslims live in Brooklyn. The constitution doesn't protect foreign interests in the US, dimwits

Have you ever heard of the Constitution or do you just like shitting all over it?

Maybe, but that might inhibit all religions....wait, yes. Definitely yes.
3 :
There are 100 mosques already in NYC and no Muslim lives in 1/2 mile of the super mosque.
4 :
Because this would be making a law about religion. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" It isn't that hard to read. Think of it as 100 million off the trade deficit.

I don't think any foreign money should be used to aquire U.S. territory.

How about we just establish a Republican Tribunal that everyone must apply to before they do anything, to get permission first.
7 :
I'll go with that if we also no longer allow foreign money to invest in U.S. corporations.

Better stop building Catholic churches then. A good bit of that money comes from the Vatican. Fish in a barrel folks. Fish in a barrel.

Ouch. I've seen really dumb posts before, but this might be tops. Please read what you wrote, and contrast it with our Constitution. Lemme know how it goes.

I agree with you Joe, if the Muslim living in this Country and are in America legally. power to them. I wonder if the Mormons can build a Temple in Saudi Arabia? Hey! good luck and God bless you

How do you constitute that when the Federal Reserve bank does not even belong to the United States of America??? Did you know, you being the Sheriff you ought to have known that and made some arrests. Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2fjxaRLpQo&feature=related

You're very amusing. I can't tell if you're serious or being sarcastic. Can you explain to me how building a mosque or any other house of worship is "forcing a religion on you"? Are you so weak-minded and weak-willed that the very sight of a house of worship compels you to practice that religion against your will? When a Temple is erected, is Judaism forced into your brain? And, uh, by the way, the "mosque" is being built 2 1/2 blocks away from ground zero which serves as the cut-off for the financial district- therefore, it is NOT in the financial district but 2 1/2 blocks east. In this area is a high concentration of Middle Eastern shops and restaurants. Not to mention, the center is open to people of any faith (it has basketball courts and workout facilities among many other things), and happened to be a cheap buy in NYC, which is tough to find these days. But above all, our Constitution and New York State laws support this construction- if you want to wipe your a$$ with the Constitution, go to Saudi Arabia and do it, will ya? Edit: Uh, the owners of that building are American citizens, DIMWIT, regardless of how they are funded. An American citizen remodeling a building that he/she owns is not a "foreign interest" as much as you would like it to be.

You state " We don't allow foreign contributions to political parties" Have you heard about- Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. I think we know who the dimwit is.
