WHAT: Press Conference to Announce New Coalition Supporting Religious Freedom called “New York Neighbors for American Values”
WHERE: NYC Municipal Building (One Centre Street)
WHEN: August 25, 2010 at 11 AM
It was a NEW ‘coalition’ of every Leftist, Progressive, Soc/commie/Dem who work together constantly to subvert America . So what’s with the NEW name? Old friends who are “New York Neighbors for American Values”. They claim that they embrace the American constitutional values of religious freedom, diversity and equality. (as in SHARIA?) And that they “…. stand together today to reject the crude stereotypes meant to frighten and divide us.”
A predictable press conference where (surprise-surprise) they came out in support of Imam Rauf and (in his own words)…. his “ICONIC Ground Zero Mosque”.
The sycophant press came out in droves to this last-minute press conference. It was a scramble for everyone to get there but they did and their eagerness for “the story” was palpable. After all, this coalition would deliver what was considered a most important message about ‘what has happened in America”. And I don’t mean the attack on 9-11. NOPE. It’s that terrorists and Islam, there is no connection, one to the other. In truth, they never met a terrorist who wasn’t a victim of America . That’s right, put the blame on the Right-Wing, Hate-Mongers , and they did just that.
The Press Conference Video:
Looking around at the crowd of supporters, there were many familiar faces. Some well-known (as in Debbie Almontaser of NYC Intifada fame)
And others such as Bill Doar (a professional commie agitator)
He can be seen assaulting me and a NY Post photographer while the NYC Muslim police just watch (Go here for video)
This is Bill Doar’s “resume” :
Workers World Party (also writes for the paper),
NYC Labor Against War (NYCLAW)
Al-Awda NY
International Action Center
If we are known by the company we keep then the Imam has some seriously flawed and highly suspicious characters on his team.

WHEN will our dear Mayor Bloomberg start to ask the hard questions of the Cordoba Initiative. The lack of transparency, the obfuscation , the cover-up goes all the way to the White House, but you’d never know any of that from the fawning press and our Dhimmi Mayor.
BTW, when Faiza Ali , of NY-CAIR,
Sweetly made a passing reference to a taxi driver knifed because he was Muslim, she did NOT mention that he was employed by “Intersections” and the Rev Chase who is seen towering in the background.
Nope. Not necessary. All she did was drop ” Right wing, Islamophobia “. Forget the facts, that the attacker was one of their own! [NY Daily News says, ” In an odd twist, (Michael) Enright was a volunteer for Intersections International, a Manhattan-based group that promotes peace among different religions. A spokesman confirmed he was filming for the group, which recently threw its support behind the controversial Park 51 mosque project near Ground Zero.] Nope. that unfortunate connection….so NOT necessary to their meme-of-the-day.
Intersections and the Rev Robert Chase were at a screening for “What A Billion Muslims Think”.

A quote from Susan Lerner of Common Cause, one of the organizers of this “NEW” coalition: of
” I am sure many of you are as angry as I am at the furor going on around the Cordoba House, the Islamic cultural and community center proposed for lower Manhattan. Well, under the leadership of Common Cause, many civic, progressive, labor, community and religious groups are getting together to take a stand.” Their mantra, *Fighting for Social, Racial, Economic and Environmental Justice***
