"Victory."

Today, the whispers are being spoken aloud.

Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days.

Poll numbers and Political opponents were mounting, the Muslim leaders could read the writing on the wall.

After weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero – the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York – it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site.

The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.

I am not one to count my chickens before they hatch, but this sure does smell like victory.

    This is just a nutty idea. Build the thing in SC. Speaking of which, there is a Sikh convert, sorta, who sleeps around, fails to pay taxes on time, fails to go to meetings, fails to disclose emails……… who is the GOP candidate for GOVERNOR.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. - Ephesians 6: 12-13
