OK… Now this ought to make your blood boil.

New York officials have killed plans to rebuild a Greek Orthodox Church near Ground Zero.

FOX reported:

Greek Orthodox leaders trying to rebuild the only church destroyed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks expressed shock this week after learning, via Fox News, that government officials had killed a deal to relocate the church.

The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, once a tiny, four-story building in the shadows of lower Manhattan, was destroyed in 2001 by one of the falling World Trade Center towers. Nobody from the church was hurt in the attack, but the congregation has, for the past eight years, been trying to rebuild its house of worship.

Though talks between the church and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey stalled last year, church leaders say they’ve been trying to kick-start discussions ever since. But amid debate over whether a proposed Islamic community center should go forward near Ground Zero, government officials threw cold water on the prospect of any deal with the church — telling Fox News the deal is off the table.

Confronted with the Port Authority’s verdict, Father Mark Arey, of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, said it’s the first he’s heard that.

“Negotiations did break off last year. We were expecting to hear from their lawyers — we never did. We’re still expecting to hear from them,” he told Fox News. “We’re disappointed. … 130 Liberty Street was promised to us.”

And, yet these same officials are bending over backwards for the Ground Zero Victory Mosque planners.

Unreal.
 
I think the born again christians should announce they will build a giant fucking church right next to every planned parenthood in the country.

I have a feeling the lying left will not be so tolerant.

Maybe it's because Obama is actually a Muslim... and wants to convert all of America over to Islam.
 
Obama:
"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country," That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

Obama won't weigh in on this issue. He has already sided with the Islamic terrorists on the ground zero mosque issue. That is enough religion for him, unless of course, reverend Wright makes a comeback.
 
Were did all the liberals go regarding this church and its constitutional rights, seeing that this is what this debate is all about according to them?

You are talking as if you know the reason the church was turned down, but it's not in the clip.

But I would bet it has something to do with the money this church can raise for land downtown, vs. the money the community center/mosque can raise.
