From the Wednesday, September 1 Late Show with David Letterman:
DAVID LETTERMAN: Now, tell me everything I need to know -- everything a reasonable person should understand about the rebuilding that's taking place at the former site of the twin towers, and the construction of, possible construction of a mosque down there. What do you know about it? What do you understand about it? And what are smart people, what should we be thinking of.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, the rebuilding is going very slowly. It should have gone faster. I've always said what we should do is rebuild the World Trade Center exactly as it was. You know, it was never a very popular building architecturally until it went down and when it went down we all felt so terrible and all of a sudden people started loving it. I came out and said we should rebuild it in exactly the same form, but a little bit taller and a lot stronger and a lot of people loved that idea, but that's not what they're doing.
As far as the mosque is concerned, I think it's very insensitive to build it there. I think it's not appropriate, a I think it's insensitive and it shouldn't be built there. (Applause) [pause as Letterman frowns] I don't know if he agrees
LETTERMAN: Well, I don't know -- I'm so ignorant about stuff. What about the notion -- I can remember, I can't remember but, remember when the pilgrims came over? Folks, remember when the pilgrims were here? And the puritans, and they came seeking religious freedom, and freedom from religious persecution, looking for religious expression. And as far as I've always known, that's a fundamental building block of what makes this country great.
TRUMP: I agree. And, you know, it's called very simply freedom of religion. And I would agree with that 100 percent. In this case, it's caused such a storm that the people doing it would make so much good will if they said, "hey, listen, we want to make everybody happy, including ourselves. We're going to pick a site that's a little further away." Everybody would be happy and I think it would be such incredible good will. I would say if they wanted to do it from a PR standpoint it would be the greatest thing they could do. But I don't see it happening. I see the developer, he's pretty tough, and he wants to build it there. He's get no money. He's got a lot of problems. But I think the mosque is a real big issue in this city and in this country and I think it's very insensitive to build it there and I think they should go someplace else. (Applause)
LETTERMAN: Insensitive, and describe for me what insensitivity is manifested if it's built there.
TRUMP: Well, I just think there's such ire. There's such -- I've never seen anything quite like it. I mean, I goy that site because I have a big building down there, 40 Wall Street, and the level of animosity and hatred and all of the things that this mosque is engendering, it's very inappropriate. And I'm like you, I believe freedom of religion, but at the same time, sometimes you have to make a turn. It shouldn't be forced upon them. If they did it of their own volition it would be such a popular thing for them.
LETTERMAN: If they did what?
TRUMP: If they moved it to a different site.
LETTERMAN: The notion -- does this suggest that we are in fact officially at war with Muslims? Is that what this suggests?
TRUMP: Well, somebody knocked down the World Trade Center.
LETTERMAN: Yes. No denying that, and they were Muslims, but they weren't, it's not, how do I want to express this? We're not at -- we're at war with those people and they happen to be Muslims. We're not at war with Muslims. (Applause)
TRUMP: Well, I would say that's right, David, I would say that's right. And whether you like it or not, there's a lot of people in this country that are just absolutely -- you see the people who died in the World Trade Center, when you see their mothers and their fathers and their wives standing there just weeping and crying because of the mosque, I just think it would be a great thing if they would move it, if they would voluntarily say, "you know, we're going to move this." I think they would engender, I mean, it would be so good for them.
LETTERMAN: Yes, but I don't believe, not having read the Koran, I don't believe that part of that belief, that pursuit is here in your face, take a look at this, what do you think? What are you going to do?
TRUMP: Well, somebody's blowing us up. I mean, somebody's blowing up buildings, and somebody's doing lots of bad stuff, David. And, you know, we're at war, which as you know because you and I had this discussion two times ago when I was on the show. We should have never been in Iraq in the first place....
Basil Venitis asserts Planetarch Hussein Obama's endorsement of the Ground Zero Mosque and terrorist center is disgusting. The fact that someone has the right to do something doesn't necessarily make it the right thing to do. This is not an issue of law, whether religious freedom or local zoning. This is a basic issue of respect for a tragic moment in history. Obama has lost touch with his fellow citizens and does not understand the values and sentiments of the American people, especially while they are still at war around the world with terrorist Islam. Probably Obama is a secret Muslim, because his father was a Muslim, he attended a Muslim school, and he never rejected Islam.
Disguised as religion, Islam has penetrated democracies with the aim of replacing civility and liberty with the barbarism of 7th century Islamic theocracy and Sharia law. Islam's multi-pronged attack aims to destroy all that liberty offers. America, with a long tradition of protecting religious freedom, still clings to the hands off practice of leaving alone any doctrine or practice billed as religion. A thorny problem is in deciding what constitutes a religion and who is to make that call. We must keep in mind that to be a loyal and faithful Muslim, a Muslim must adhere to and perform many obligatory acts, as specified in the Quran by Allah and the Hadith/Sunna, during his entire life.
The mosque serves as a house where Muslim devotees gather together for salat (prayer) and worshiping Allah and his messenger, the prophet Muhammad. Aside from worshiping Allah, a mosque is used for a variety of reasons. These meeting places are perfect warehouses of not only indoctrination, but future terrorists, who are made to read and understand the principles of Jihad, martyrdom and Dar ul Harb (land of war, any place not Islamacized.) Mosques cost money, and the money for these warehouses of intolerance is coming straight from Saudi Arabia, the #2 terrorist nation on Earth after Turkey.
These mosques are being infused with an activist strain of Islam, Wahhabsim. If you have to ask where the Saudi's are getting their money, you are not paying attention...it's coming from you. Not to mention, Planetarch Husein Obama is doing everything he can to accommodate the Cordoba Initiative project at taxpayers' expense. Those useful idiot non-Muslims who support the building of the mosque near the 9/11 site or anywhere else by invoking the ideal of religious freedom, are empowering a creed that is devoted to stamping out freedom of religion or any other form of freedom.
In this relentless campaign, Muslims have a vast cadre of experts, talking heads, and for-purchase politicians who keep endlessly broadcasting the false mantra that Islam is a religion of peace. This latter bunch is criminally complicit in making the populace complacent and furthering the work of terrorist Islam.
When mosques are built, imams, mullahs or mosque elders tend to be sent to the West with one clear mission: Make Islamic religion, laws, and life supreme within the West, using any and all tactics necessary. Next, from within the safety of their local mosques, they begin to use their revolting practices, riotous youth, and wild sermonizing to force the genteel Westerners to relocate to safer, less threatening neighborhoods and cities. Of course, not all Westerners will move or can afford to do so. And to take control of a town, Muslims will not need to evict everyone. They probably need about 25% in order to make life very unpleasant for those who do not go along with their demands.
They will elect Muslims to all positions of local influence, who will create and enforce policy according to the Sharia law. Once they have control over a town, they will begin to establish informal Sharia, and there's nothing the government can or will want to do about it. Sharia is the brutal means by which Islam controls its populations by force, intimidation, and punishments for offenses to Allah. Already in many European countries, national governments have, out of fear, given Islamic fascists the right to establish their own shadow governments within the borders of countries like Sweden and England, where they can control their own populations without accountability. Proposals for Sharia are being taken seriously by many Western countrie
