The Mosque at Ground Zero is nothing more than a hallow PR stunt in the hope of fooling the Muslim world. The Mayor of New York-who apparent supports this mosque project- has failed to support the Muslims of New York win a day off during end of the fasting month of Ramadan and other key Muslim religious Holidays. President Obama has done nothing to end Israeli the siege of the second Holiest place for Muslims-Al Aqsa!. In fact, it is cynical gesture based on deceit and PR spins- because at the moment when the U.S us consolidating its grip on Iraq, Afghanistan, the U.S has failed restrain Israel from its seizure of Palestinian land- we have this clever story of the little Mosque at Ground Zero! It is smart PR idea- but it is cynical and it will not win the hearts and minds of many Muslims. Another story back in the media is the claim that 1/3 Americans think that Obama- so Obama and his people now have to deny he is not a Muslim! In doing so- he plays the double game of Islamphobia- by denying it and inciting it. It works in his favor last time- first for the Muslim world to give him the benefit of the doubt and for Americans to vote for him in the hope he will change U.S foreign policy toward the Muslim world. He failed in both account. What the U.S needs is act according to its own laws and professed moral claims and all will be fine again.

Well, that's certainly a tinder box. US has built up over the past decade Islamophobia so they have popular support in their wars, the so called "War on Terror". What is sad is this is just a distraction from important issues facing America, like the economy, health care, taxes, and illegal immigration. All these things the government have severely failed at and now they will get off the hook by planning playing on the nerves of people. If it was already being used for one year, why is it now an issue? Come on people, you already were duped by slogans Yes We Can, Hope, and Change... People are so easily manipulated, it is just sad.
