STOP THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE: AMERICA WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM SEEKING THE TRUTH AND SPEAKING OUR VOICES OF CONSCIENCE

Sacred Ground Honor Ride, Sunday morning, August 22: Major protest and press conference on Sunday at the proposed mosque site

BACKGROUND: On August 19-22, 2010, America’s 9/11 Foundation, an organization that first coalesced eight weeks after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, will conduct its ninth trek for motorcyclists to the three 9/11 crash sites, at Shanksville, PA, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center site in New York City. (See americas911ride.org)

SUNDAY MORNING EVENTS AT GROUND ZERO: On Sunday morning, at 8:30 a.m. August 22, a flag line will gather at Ground Zero to greet the arriving Memorial Ride.

Following the flag line, which will be joined by members of the Coalition to Honor Ground Zero, the Coalition will invite all patriots to move to the site of the controversial proposed mosque for a major rally to begin at approximately 10:30a.m.

WHO: Motorcyclists from across America; the Coalition to Honor Ground Zero; Blue Collar Corner; The Bravest; 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America; Women United International (womenunitedcodered.org); ACT Manhattan; and many other organizations and leaders to be announced, as well as local residents living in the Ground Zero area. The Coalition to Honor Ground Zero is calling upon all patriots to show support for the missions of America’s 9/11 Foundation and of the Patriot Guard Riders, by joining the flag-line at Ground Zero in the morning. Further information about participating organizations and speakers will be released later this week.

Many of the participants in the Memorial Ride are members of the Patriot Guard Riders (pgrny1.org) and other military and first responder support groups, who will be forming the flag line starting at Ground Zero at 8:30AM for the Ride’s concluding ceremonies. The Patriot Guard Riders (nearly 200,000 strong nation-wide) ride escort and stand flag lines in honor and respect of those who have given their all in service to America.

“We are inviting all to join us in actively honoring our active and veteran servicemen and women and our first responders including firemen, police and EMT workers on Sunday.” says Dave Kern, NY State Captain of the Patriot Guard Riders.

Hamas nod for Ground Zero mosque: ‘We have to build the mosque’

The New York Post reports this morning:

A leader of the Hamas terror group yesterday jumped into the emotional debate on the plan to construct a mosque near Ground Zero — insisting Muslims “have to build” it there. “We have to build everywhere,” said Mahmoud al-Zahar, a co-founder of Hamas and the organization’s chief on the Gaza Strip. “In every area we have, [as] Muslim[s], we have to pray, and this mosque is the only site of prayer,” he said on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on WABC.

“We have to build the mosque, as you are allowed to build the church and Israelis are building their holy places.” Hamas, he added, “is representing the vast majority of the Arabic and Islamic world — especially the Islamic side.”

The Post could not reach Imam Rauf, Daisy Khan, or apparently anyone from the Cordoba Initiative for comment.

Tim Brown, of theBravest.com, said, ”

“This is what we’ve been saying … Imam Rauf is a radical Muslim who will not call Hamas a terror group.” A retired firefighter who was a first responder on 9/11, Brown lost 100 of his FDNY friends at the Twin Towers. “How much evidence do we need that this guy is a radical Muslim?” he asked. “If Rauf really were a bridge builder and an interfaith guy and all the things he professes to be, he wouldn’t be doing this to people.”

Hamas continues to be designated a terrorist organization. It was first designated as such in 1995.

Sheikh Ahmed Yassin founded Hamas in 1987 as an offshoot of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood. In 2008, five leaders of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) were federally prosecuted for transferring more than $12 million to Hamas. The Muslim Brotherhood also created the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), and both Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) and al Qaeda are offshoot organizations.

CAIR and ISNA were un-indicated co-conspirators, and the IIIT was shown to be one, in the HLF trial. The IIIT and ISNA financed a special edition of the publication of Ground Zero mosque imam’s book in 2007 for distribution to mosques and Islamic centers around America:
