If there was any doubt about what elements of society the BBC was serving, then this story should make it clear.
It also highlights the precise nature of militant Islam, and how it seeks to infiltrate and undermine our society by any means, and shows the forces assisting their desire for power.
Without a doubt, the events of 9/11 were the most outwardly significant in its clear message to our society from extremist Islam. What we have endured since is a spineless liberal media doing its best to convince the public and by that to influence politicians that we should appease the Muslim world in the hope they won't 'hurt us' any more.
Those like ex-President Bush at the time, who clearly identified this Islamic menace and were ready and willing to take them on, were immediately derided and attacked in a continual attempt to bring down. It took time, but eventually he was to be replaced by Obama who was the liberal left media dream in his willingness to appease Islam. There are even rumours, not without substance that he himself might even be a Muslim, though he has denied it.
With this in the background, consider again the events of 9/11 and the fact that over 3000 people were killed by the actions of Muslim terrorists fighting for their despicable cause of world dominance. Ask yourself would any Muslims who were genuinely interested in peace and co-existence seek to build a mosque within 2 blocks of the 9/11 site, or 'Ground-Zero' as it has come to be known? Wouldn't any civilised group of 'moderate Muslims', supposedly sensitive to the emotions of our society, give it a wide berth?
Apparently not, which is why they've not only made an application to do exactly that, but Obama has now also declared that he is backing their proposal. It's hard to define what particularly is the most sickening element of this madness, those that would build this disgusting symbol in the full knowledge of the pain it causes to further their ambition, or those within our society who support and assist it whether consciously or ignorantly. Those like Obama, the BBC, and the rest of the pathetic liberal media.
Consider how this story is being covered by the BBC and contrast it with that of Fox news, to see what facts the BBC prefer you not to know.
Here's the BBC version:
Notice the phrase: prominent Republican politicians and a host of conservative pundits have attacked the project Which for liberals is the antithesis of 'liberal reasoning' - (a contradiction in terms).
Do you also believe the statement that only Some relatives of people killed in the terror attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 are also opposed to the plan. Can you imagine for a moment that there would be those who had lost loved ones to the extremist faction of this religion who would support a 'monument of triumph' being erected next to the site where they died? But for the BBC only 'SOME' are against it.
What the BBC haven't mentioned in their article is 75% of Americans are against it, but then that would have to mean that 75% of Americans were Republican or Conservative, which clearly couldn't be the case otherwise the joke Obama would never have been elected.
I have a feeling that much more will come about as a result of this event, the future of our society rests on this. For that reason this topic will remain as a sticky.

Obama defends right to build mosque near 9/11 site
President Obama was speaking at a Muslim Iftar dinner at the White House
US President Barack Obama has staunchly defended controversial plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York.
Opponents have protested against the construction of an Islamic cultural centre and mosque several hundred feet away from the site of the Twin Towers.
Mr Obama acknowledged "sensitivities" surround the 9/11 site, but said Muslims have the same right to practise their religion "as anyone else".
"Our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable," Mr Obama said.
Since a New York developer announced plans to build a 13-storey Islamic community centre and mosque about two blocks from the former World Trade Center site, prominent Republican politicians and a host of conservative pundits have attacked the project.
Some relatives of people killed in the terror attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 are also opposed to the plan.
'Stab in the heart'
In a speech at a White House dinner celebrating Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, Mr Obama waded into the row, saying:
"We must all recognise and respect the sensitivities surrounding the development of lower Manhattan, Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground. But let me be clear, as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practise their religion as anyone else in this country.
"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community centre on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are."
The site of the proposed mosque is about two blocks from the former World Trade Center He told the group of US Congressmen, government officials and foreign dignitaries that America's tradition of religious tolerance distinguishes it from "our enemies".
"Al-Qaeda's cause is not Islam," he said, "it is a gross distortion of Islam".
Until now Mr Obama had not commented on the mosque row, with the White House saying that the matter was a local issue.
In voicing his support for the right to build the centre, Mr Obama joins New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who had been the only prominent politician to endorse it.
Opponents of the building project have called for investigations into its backers and financing. In New York, opponents sought unsuccessfully to have the building currently at the mosque site granted landmark protection status, in an effort to hinder development.
Former US House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich dubbed the plan an "assertion of Islamist triumphalism" and has denounced it in speeches.
Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote that "to build a mosque at Ground Zero is a stab in the heart of the families of the innocent victims of those horrific attacks".

Obama's Support for Ground Zero Mosque Draws Fire
Published August 14, 2010

President Obama is under fire after jumping into the middle of a cultural clash Friday night in favor of building a mosque near ground zero, a stance that has elevated the contentious issue to the presidential level ahead of a difficult election season for Democrats.
Some victims' advocates and Republicans have strongly condemned Obama's support for the mosque, which would be part of a $100 million Islamic community center two blocks from where nearly 3,000 people perished when hijacked jetliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Barack Obama has abandoned America at the place where America's heart was broken nine years ago, and where her true values were on display for all to see," said Debra Burlingame, a spokeswoman for some Sept. 11 victims' families and the sister of one of the pilots killed in the attacks.
Building the mosque at ground zero, she said, "is a deliberately provocative act that will precipitate more bloodshed in the name of Allah."
Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son was killed at the World Trade Center, said the president had failed to understand the issue. "As an Obama supporter, I really feel that he's lost sight of the germane issue, which is not about freedom of religion," she said. "It's about a gross lack of sensitivity to the 9/11 families and to the people who were lost."
"It is insensitive and uncaring for the Muslim community to build a mosque in the shadow of ground zero," he said in a written statement.
"While the Muslim community has the right to build the mosque, they are abusing that right by needlessly offending so many people who have suffered so much," he said. "The right and moral thing for President Obama to have done was to urge Muslim leaders to respect the families of those who died and move their mosque away from ground zero. Unfortunately, the president caved into political correctness."
Entering the highly charged election-year debate, Obama surely knew that his words would not only make headlines in the U.S. but be heard by Muslims worldwide. The president has made it a point to reach out to the global Muslim community, and the over 100 guests at Friday's dinner in the State Dining Room included ambassadors and officials from numerous nations where Islam is observed, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.
While his pronouncement concerning the mosque might find favor in the Muslim world, Obama's stance runs counter to the opinions of the majority of Americans, according to polls. A CNN/Opinion Research poll released this week found that nearly 70 percent of Americans opposed the mosque plan while just 29 percent approved. A number of Democratic politicians have shied away from the controversy.
Opponents, including some Sept. 11 victims' relatives, see the prospect of a mosque so near the destroyed trade center as an insult to the memory of those killed by Islamic terrorists in the 2001 attacks.
Former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania told Fox News that Obama seems to misunderstand that Islam is not just a religion, but also a political doctrine. He also said the mosque is being run by a man who accused the U.S. of being an accomplice in the Sept. 11 attacks.
Santorum compared the ground zero mosque to a minister who wants to builds a church near the location where the Rev. Martin Luther King was killed but preaches racial separation and the notion that King brought his death upon himself.
"I don't think Barack Obama would say, 'Well we have religious tolerance, we're going to allow them to do that,'" he said. "That is the wrong way to look at this. This is not whether it's a legal right to do it. People have legal rights to do a lot of things in this country."
"We have the will of the American public," he said, noting the polls show most oppose the mosque. The imam is "ignoring the will of the American public, as by the way, Barack Obama is by siding with him."
