Paladino Proposes a 9/11 District War Memorial

PALADINO TO CONGRESS: ACT ON GROUND ZERO MOSQUE NOW

NY Governor candidate calls upon Congress to declare district a War Memorial

(BUFFALO, NY) - After President Barack Obama announced his support for the Ground Zero Mosque at a Ramadan celebration tonight, Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino, a Republican candidate for Governor of New York, called upon the United States Congress to declare the World Trade Center district of New York City a War Memorial. The federal government designation would help stop the construction of a Victory Mosque at the site where radical Islamists declared war on America and killed thousands of innocent civilians.

"Now we know exactly what President Obama thinks of the families left behind by the murderous attack on America not ten years ago," Paladino said. "The Ground Zero Mosque is an insult to all Americans and a slap in the face to the surviving families of those murdered in cold blood on September 11th and all the American and allied men and women killed and maimed in the ensuing wars."

"The Ground Zero Mosque is not about freedom of religion, as President Obama claims. It's about the murderous ideology behind the attacks on our country and the fanatics our troops are fighting every day in the Middle East," Paladino said. "New York's Congressional delegation must move immediately to sponsor and pass a law that declares the entire World Trade Center district a War Memorial where one group of Americans may not move to insult another class of citizens."

Paladino and other supporters of a War Memorial district in lower Manhattan propose including the entire area where the dust cloud containing human remains spread from the World Trade Center site. The developers of the Ground Zero Mosque are not moderate Muslims, but backers of the violent Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood sects. The developers blame America for the attacks on September 11th and subscribe to the bloodthirsty tenets of Sharia Law.

Carl Paladino, a successful Western New York real estate developer and attorney, is a Republican candidate for Governor of New York. He and Tom Ognibene, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, petitioned their way into the Republican Primary in July and canvassed to create a Tea Party-inspired line called the Taxpayers Party.
