Bloomberg Thumbs Nose At Rescue Workers, Clergy; Champions Mosque
August 26, 2011 by Sam Rolley


New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has denied clergy members any right to involvement in the 9/11 ceremonies.

Planning for a ceremony being held in New York City to remember the tragic events of 9/11 has been marred in recent weeks by reports of political jockeying for roles in the event and the failure of New York officials to allow first responders to attend, although they reportedly will be permitted to gather in a nearby park. Fox News now reports http://nation.foxnews.com/sept-11/2011/ ... -mosque-ok that the city’s Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, a fierce proponent of the mosque project near Ground Zero, has denied clergy members any right to involvement in the ceremonies.

Furious religious leaders throughout the country have called for the Mayor to reverse his decision. Many religious leaders believe Bloomberg, who claims a love for diversity in New York, has been unfairly partial to those of the Muslim faith as the Ground Zero mosque project moves closer to reality.

Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic strategist and former Bloomberg employee, said of the Mayor in a recent Associated Press article http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/0 ... erg_2.html regarding the mosque: “He believes in diversity and the greatness of New York is in the diversity of its people. He’s consistent. He doesn’t owe anything to anyone, and my hunch is that he’s not out of line with where most people in the city are on this issue.â€

They CANNOT exclude certain classes of people from this event. I would show up In mass protest If I were these people !!! Imagine that !!! Obama ONLY WANTS MUSLIMS TO ATTEND !!!!!!! This guy Is a steaming pile,and so Is Bloomberg !!!!

They should protest. I think even the family members would be in full support of a big protest.
