This guy puts the fruit in fruitcake.
Michael Bloomberg shamed those who oppose the Ground Zero Victory Mosque and told a Ramadan audience this week, “We are all Muslims.”
CNN reported:

We are now in the Islamic holy month of fasting called Ramadan, and Bloomberg hosted last night an annual iftar, or fast-breaking dinner, at Gracie Mansion.

In his his remarks, Bloomberg, who has previously supported the Park51 project in the name of both property rights and religious freedom, once again spoke truth to fear and hatred. He admitted that “there are people of good will on both sides of the debate.” He acknowledged that the World Trade Center site is “hallowed ground.” And he observed that “there are people of every faith–including, perhaps, some in this room–who are hoping that a compromise will end the debate.”

“But it won’t,” he said.

The community center can and must be built at the Park51 site, he said. Anything less would “compromise our commitment to fighting terror with freedom.”

During his remarks, Bloomberg welcomed Talat Hamdani, whose son, Salman Hamdani, a paramedic and Ne York City Police Department cadet, died on 9/11. He also welcomed Sakibeh and Asaad Mustafa, whose children, he said, “have served our country overseas.”

Bloomberg brought home the point that the propaganda war now being waged on Islam in America threatens to undercut our counterinsurgency battle for “hearts and minds” in Iraq and Afghanistan.  “If we do not practice here at home what we preach abroad–if we do not lead by example–we undermine our soldiers,” he said. “We undermine our foreign policy objectives. And we undermine our national security.”

Bloomberg ended his talk by quoting some words from the embattled Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf:

At an interfaith memorial service for the martyred journalist Daniel Pearl, Imam Rauf said, ‘If to be a Jew means to say with all one’s heart, mind, and soul: Shma` Yisrael, Adonai Elohenu Adonai Ehad; Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One, not only today I am a Jew, I have always been one. If to be a Christian is to love the Lord our God with all of my heart, mind and soul, and to love for my fellow human being what I love for myself, then not only am I a Christian, but I have always been one.’

“In that spirit,” Bloomberg concluded, in words that echoed John F. Kennedy’s “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, “let me declare that we in New York are Jews and Christians and Muslims, and we always have been.

Allahu Akbar.

Well, 22% of Americans agree with his blathering anyway.

  1. Speak for yourself, Mayor Weasel, I am NOT a Muslim… now or ever.

  2. No, we are not all Muslims. Apparently some people do not believe in non-negotiable absolutes. Muslims do. Bloomberg doesn’t. He’s going to ascribe their absolute doctrines on us by his own relativity. That must be the bridge they keep talking about building by putting up the Ground Zero Victory Mosque (despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans don’t want this). Speak for yourself, Mayor Dhimmi.

  3. Something is fishy … As in Muslim fishy.

    We are being led.

  4. What a jerk-off.
    How many millions did this guy spend to be elected Mayor? I wonder if some of his election was funded by the Middle East. And I’m not talking Israel.

  5. I thought we were all ignorant racists and irrational islamophobes.

  6. So when is that muslim up for re election?

    btw, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER would I become a stinking muslim!!!!!! It will be a cold day in hell before I wear a burka!

  7. Sorry, Bloomberg. I am not a muslim, I have never been a muslim and I will never be a muslim.

    Freedom of religion does NOT give anyone the right to build whatever the hell they please wherever the hell they please.

    Their freedom of religion ENDS where my freedom of religion begins. I do NOT have to accommodate, show “respect”, bend my neck, fast during Ramadan or tolerate at mosque on the site of the worst terrorist attack this country has seen. Nor do I have to listen to the muslim call to prayer float over that site 5 times a day every day in perpetuity. Talk about a Victory Mosque

    Not only NO but HELL NO. You, “mayor” Bloomberg, have got to go.

  8. Did anyone hear the Islamic woman on Hannity yesterday opposite the Jewish guy?

    Wow, is all I can say. If those in support of the GZM were truly in favor of outreach and community, including Bloomberg, they would shut up and move GZM. It is getting to the point where my only thought is “if their lips are moving they are lying”

  9. Start throwing shoes at this f-bombing moron.

  10. There needs to be bullhorn Koran-readers posted on 4 square blocks surrounding the victory mosque site.If Americans do not fight back the Islamicists we will be in serious trouble.

  11. Keep talking, your helping the right get this country on the correct path. You sir are an idiot. Selling out your country to accomodate murderers. powder is dry.

  12. Bloomberg crossed the line.
    Get rid of him.
    He has absolutely NO RIGHT to claim anything or anyone for Islam !
    BLOOMBERG disgusts me!

    I don’t care how.
    Just go go GO!
    GET Bloomberg OUT NOW!

  13. Michael Bloomberg is expanding his business in the Middle East. That is why he is taking blood money, and selling out NYC, and America. AND NO WE ARE NOT ALL MUSLIMS, BLOOMBERG. I WAS BORN A CHRISTIAN, AND I’M BEGINNING TO THINK YOU ARE ALL DEVILS FROM HELL.
    MAYOR BLOOMBERG’S MIDDLE EAST BUSINESS INTERESTS

  14. Speak for yourself, dhimmi Mayor. Perhaps I should correct that to “Mr. Muslim Mayor” since this stupid declaration by the Mayor will be seen, or at least exploited, by some Muslims as equivalent to Bloomberg uttering the shahaadah.

    Gulp! Bloomberg, do you really want to stand before the G_d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob with this having passed your lips?

  15. The irony: a pig claiming to be a Muslim!

  16. Not a Muslim, not a socialist.

  17. I had to write a comment on it, but I doubt it’ll go through the censorship. I’ll post it here, just in case:

    “[i]No, we’re not. I don’t oppress women. I don’t do FGM on girls. I don’t force girls into marriages. I don’t do honor killings.

    I’m offended.

    As for Simon the zealot. That was 2,000 years ago, thus it’s IRRELEVANT. Today matters. And even then Christianity evolved. Judaism evolved. Islam didn’t. Islam is stuck in what Mohammed wrote down 1,400 years ago (that is if Mohammed even existed and there are already some doubts that he did.) Mohammed plundered, raped and murdered. And every mohammedan today must follow Mohammed’s example, since in islamic mythology Mohammed is the perfect human being. That includes rape, murder and pedophilia.

    Some people here seem to follow the “poor muslim” mantra. Look at history. The crusades, for example, were the European reaction to decades of mohammedan aggression. Europe eventually had enough and fought back. That’s the simply historic truth.

    Also, why is everybody calling them “muslims”? “Muslim” means “true believer” (look it up), so by calling them “muslims” you acknowledge that they follow the one true god in the one true religion, thus you brand yourself as an infidel and with that you are legitimate prey under sharia law. Infidels, under sharia law (which can not be separated from islam), are third class citizens. Islam itself is incompatible with democracy, since it would indicate that infidels are of the same “weight” as mohamemdans, and that’s not possible under sharia law.

    I really suggest that the islam defenders here go to a mohammedan country and “enjoy” sharia law for a while. Or go to Europe and enter one of the many no-go areas that are growing there like mushrooms. Maybe proclaim that you’re gay or an infidel or something like that. It will change your life. If you survive it.

    “Islam” is not “peace”. Islam means submission.

    I won’t submit. I don’t want this fascist ideology, which is on par with Hitler’s national socialism in its intolerance and hatred (ironically Hitler was an avid fan of islam and he and his stupid little, hateful book Mein Kampf are still very popular in the mohammedan world), on my doorstep.

    Reform islam. Or get out.

    PS: allah, the Christian god and JHW are NOT the same god. Allah can be traced back to a pre-islamic moon deity. Mohammed simply copied from the Jews and Christians to get them on his side, but they didn’t follow him. His reaction? He killed them where he could find them (an order actually written in the koran, and no, it’s not taken out of context.)[/i]”

    Now let me add:

    The koran states clearly that infidels must be killed. Sharia law clearly brands non-mohammedans as third class citizens with less rights than mohammedans. The food chain of sharia law is: on top are the mohammedan men, then come the women (in case a woman is raped she has to bring male witnessess who confirm that she has been raped, otherwise she’s automatically guilty of either adultry or pre-martial sex and would thus be stoned to death, yes, even today) and finally the infidels, the dhimmis, the non-mohammedans.

    In Pakistan, for example, the word of a non-mohammedan, in court, is only worth half of the word of a mohammedan.

  18. Not a Muslim, not a socialist.

    ——————–

    The people who are running around kissing all the Muslim’s baracks are the same people churning out some of the stuff offensive to Muslims.

    The people trying to impose socialism on the nation are the same people living the capitalist lifestyle to its fullest.

    And, to think, they have the nerve to call Christians hypocrites!

  19. Michael Savage talked about Bloomberg last night. Seems that he’s opening quite a few offices in the Arab world. I guess this is another one o those “follow the money” moments.

  20. Pamela Geller has quite a bit over at Atlas Shrugged today.
    This is getting scary to me. Bloomberg is kissing Islamic a** because he stands to make cash.
    Seems to me that the fight for America is escalating.

  21. How does a Jew make a statement like ‘We are all Muslims’?

  22. olm #22

    Yes, it does seem akin to a separating of the sheep (genuine Americanists, limited gov’t, personal responsibility, et alia) from the goats (deniers of the Triune G_dhead, which generally speaking is the left).

    Time to take your stand, and stand with your convictions.

  23. Awesome. Kennedy declared himself a Berliner. Bloomberg declared everyone a Muslim. Can’t you hear the echo??

  24. Michael Savage has the link to the 2008 article(thenational.ae) of Bloomberg and Dubai. Here’s part of the article..

    The company has also been developing an Islamic finance portal, which Mr Linnington said would be helped by having more people on the ground building relationships.

    “Particularly since the meltdown of the western capitalist system, there has been an increasingly large focus on the virtues of Islamic finance,” he said. “Today, there is no one single provider of information that caters to the Islamic finance market. So by Bloomberg being here, we are in the process of building out an Islamic finance product. We are very confident that we can build a product that meets the needs of the market right now.”

  25. Michael Boobberg:

    I want to bring home the fact that a propaganda war is being waged on America.

    [Whisper…whisper]

    Oops, I mean a propaganda war is being waged on Islam. When will I get my lines right?

    So, even though we are Jews it is time to get on our knees and put our butts in the air with Muslims. That is sure to bring in the Jewish vote for Democrats… what did is just say?

    Oh well, my butt is as big as a sumo wrestler and it smell just as bad, it time to get it in the air. That is why we need a huge mosque at Ground Zero. With so many butts in the air the stench will be amazing – a new attraction for young Jihads. Tourism from the Middle East will explode.

    My limousine is running and I have a meeting with Barack Hussein Obama about a large campaign donation. Good day.

  26. Speak for yourself, Mr. Mayor.

    Does this mean you want to beat up your wife, now?

  27. Here is an interesting article:
    http://clarionadvisory.com/?p=6987
    Paralleling Mayor Bloomberg’s veiled insults towards those acutely aware of the historical Islamic conquest of non-Muslim lands by their building of mosques on top of or dominating a conquered people’s holy sites, is the concurrent Bloomberg LLC’s expansion of its Dubai financial center into a regional hub for the UAE.
    Founded in 1981 by Michael Bloomberg, who privately owns 85% of the limited liability corporation, Bloomberg LLC is a dominant player in global financial software, data gathering and news, commanding one third of its market niche estimated at $16 billion dollars.
    Bloomberg LLC sells its terminals from seven regional hubs: London, Sao Paolo, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney but the Dubai regional center will allow Bloomberg access to Islamic sharia based banking and monetary systems by developing a sharia compliant finance portal….
    Linnington went on to add, “Particularly since the meltdown of the western capitalist system, there has been an increasingly large focus on the virtues of Islamic finance. Today, there is no one single provider of information that caters to the Islamic finance market. So by Bloomberg being here, we are in the process of building out an Islamic finance product. We are very confident that we can build a product that meets the needs of the market right now.”

  28. So I’m listening to Bill Bennet in America this morning on my way to work. He’s talking with a big brained guy who is Arabic and who studies Arab culture and knows all the fine and wonderful things about fatwa and jihad and Islam and Radical Islamists. Says that there is a left leaning on line publication over in one of the Arabic countries that did a nice little survey of the people regarding the GZM. 57% of the muslims there think that the mosque should be moved. 57% of them feel like this is a clear showing of insensitivity to Americans. I guess that’s kinda like the 71% of Americans that are being ignored for their belief that the mosque should be moved. Kinda hard to call 57% of muslims in an Arabic country Islamophobes you’d think.

  29. This might be the most disgusting thing I ever…no, I take that back, it IS the most disgusting thing I ever heard a Jew say.

    Please. Some rabbi revoke his bar mitzvah today.

    He doesn’t deserve to be a Jew.

  30. Once America truly understand that this is war, Boomingidiot will be the new ace of spades.

  31. Dear Mayor,
    The muslims are marking territory that they have “conquered”.
    Either you are a complete dumbass not to see it, or you are in league with them.
    L.

  32. What a moron …

    So now, we are all Socialists, AND Muslims huh?

    Not today, not ever. We’re taking this country back …

  33. Speak for yourself, Mr. Mayor.

    Does this mean you want to beat up your wife, now?

    —————————-

    Nah, he’ll just put salt on her food.

  34. What a pander bear.

    As if his (illegal) gun grabbing schemes weren’t bad enough, now this. Way to go New York City. You elect and reelect this asshat and nine years on you’ve done nothing at the ground zero site but a cleanup. Now you are proposing to let a victory mosque get built there. It must be something in the water. It apparently causes cowardice and inertia compounded with grand mal stupidity.

  35. Here’s what Mike the midget is saying Translation): “You idiots, STFU and do as you’re told.”

    He continues (translation): “I will not let a bunch of dead people and their widows and orphans stand in the way of religious liberty! ER, religious tolerance! ER, Bloomberg Financial’s expansion in Dubai!!”

    Anti-Islamic criminals, aka al Qaeda, flew two jumbo jets into two very large buildings for a reason – SYMBOLISM.

    Imam Ralph and a former (five years ago?) waiter, turned multi-millionaire real estate mogul (most real estate moguls in America are going broke!), or front man for terrorist-financing oil billionaires, are putting the $100 million TROPHY mosque 300 feet away from GZ for the same reason the anti-Islamic criminals crashed two jumbo jets there.

    Imam Ralph, Australia 2005, (translation): “Those three thousand sub-human firefighters, police officers, and office workers, er, infidels died for your sins (Israel, sanctions on Saddam Hussein).”

    Muslim-Americans in global-terror-war-time are like Japanese in 1940′s wartime.

    No, wait! The Nissei were on our side in that war.

  36. What a traitor Bloomberg is. He wants this horror to be build because of all HIS INVESTMENTS in the Muslim World. Another lying crook. I hope he is investigated and jailed. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

  37. As a former Marine I got to thinking yesterday that doesn’t NYC not want to allow the Empire State Building to be lit up in red and gold to celebrate the 235th birthday of the USMC on 10 November this year? Does anyone have any updates on that? Maybe Bloomberg wants to light it up in Islamic green the whole year instead?

  38. In 732, my ancestor, Charles Martel,fought the Battle of Tours against the Muslims and halted the spread of Islam into Europe. I bet you he is turning in his grave!God help us all!

  39. Hizzoner the Moron.

    NYC cannot be rid of this fool fast enough.

  40. Damn! I’m starting to feel really good about November and the chances of returning to limited government! The libs and elitists just can’t help themselves. They are so convinced of their superiority to the common rabble that they can’t shut up even when the people are overwhelmingly against their radical positions.

    So, go ahead libs, continue to preach and provide us “teachable moments” and await your report cards in November!

  41. JournOlistas and their favorite Pols call us Islamophobic for trying to preserve hallowed ground (and in my case fighting the spread of Islam in the West). Well, If we’re the ones who are Islamophobic why are they so afraid to publish the cartoons of the Muslim prophet in their newspapers and magazines or show them on their TV news shows?!!

    http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2010/08/027081.php

  42. Kristen #30,

    No surprise that a majority of muslims, whether Arab or not, would believe that the mosque should be moved. Islam is a wicked ideology that is FORCED on people. A large number of these people, if not a vast majority of them, are not muslim any more than a person born into a Catholic family, who completely disagrees with Catholicism, is Catholic. The fact that islam incorporates many of the peaceful religious ideas that had come before is simply part of the scam. Human beings by nature aren’t looking to force an entire way of life on everyone else, so you’re going to convert a whole lot more people and hold on to them with a stick AND a carrot. It’s some seriously messed up stuff, but that’s islam — and Marxism. No wonder the left loves this islam thing.

  43. Good thing Bloomberg wasn’t mayor on 911.
    He probably would have been seen running down Broadway with a white surrender flag.

  44. THE REAL NEWS ON BLOOMBERG & OBAMA

    Bloomberg privately owns 85% of the limited liability corporation, Bloomberg LLC.

    Bloomberg intends to expand Bloomberg LLC, in its Dubai financial center, to become a regional hub for the United Arab Emirates.

    Since 2007, before his election as President, Obama has worked with Bloomberg to support Sharia-compliant finance in order to complete the goals of Bloomberg LLC and future US financial involvement in the UAE.

    The Dubai regional center will allow Bloomberg access to Islamic sharia-based banking and monetary systems by developing a sharia-compliant finance portal. According to the regional head of Bloomberg LLC’s Middle East and South Asia centers, Max Linnington:

    ” . . . Particularly since the meltdown of the western capitalist system, there has been an increasingly large focus on the virtues of Islamic finance. Today, there is no one single provider of information that caters to the Islamic finance market. So by Bloomberg being here, we are in the process of building out an Islamic finance product. We are very confident that we can build a product that meets the needs of the market right now.”

    The details, worked out through years of planning, do not include you, America. The American system of finance is being chucked.

    Still have any questions about Bloomberg’s position on the NYC mosque?

  45. Why don’t we show honor and respect and let are men and women who are fighting in the armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, have the final vote and have the final say? Respect you say?

  46. I hate to say it, but after seeing this and Laura Ingraham’s interview with the Manhattan borough president last night, NYC won’t see one red cent from me should it ever be attacked again. Not even 10 years after it was attacked and thousands of tri-state residents murdered, it is rolling out the red carpet for the same kind of loons who perpetrated the destruction of the WTC and spitting on the families of those lost. Bloomberg and the rest of the Judas Iscariots in New York have sold out for Arab cash, and the brainless boobs who live there will simply shrug and vote for these traitors again because they’re Demahcrahts. In fact, the PD and fire dept. should just sit in their stations and not bother breaking a sweat. Let NYC’s new pals save them.

  47. I can’t be a muslim; I’m already Spartacus!

  48. #17 Andreas K.

    “Infidels, under sharia law (which can not be separated from islam), are third class citizens.”

    Correction: “Infidels, under sharia law… are third class cattle.” Infidels are never citizens.

    Under sharia law, all citizens are muslim. Anyone else is treated as cattle.

  49. Yeah and i’ll be waiting for my 72 virgins……OH CRAP they look like Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton……!!!!!!!

  50. Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One, not only today I am a Jew, I have always been one. If to be a Christian is to love the Lord our God with all of my heart, mind and soul, and to love for my fellow human being what I love for myself, then not only am I a Christian, but I have always been one.’

    You have but one thing to do to enter the gates of heaven, leave the luggage you have described outside and you may come in. There is neither Jew, nor Gentile, nor master, nor slave, in the Spirit. In the process You (ego) must die. You can not know it. Only become it. As Paul states, the less I become the More He Is.

  51. Bloomberg is only speaking of those who support the Victory Mosque.

    The rest of us are to be treated as non-believers,
    as in second class, walked on, dismissed.

    The mayor is has the islamist attitude down pat already.

  52. Now that I’m a “Muslim,” can I have four wives? Can I kill any of them if I find them cheating on me? Is it OK for me to have a 12-year-old girl as wife #4, especially after I off the previous #4 for indiscretions that have dishonored me?

    Just asking, Mr. Mayor. Or does ths just apply to New Yorkers?

    Also, Mr. Mayor, run it by us again how you got the rules changed so that you could run for a third term? How much did you spend to make that happen?

  53. Bloomberg’s family tree traces back to the Jews that were kicked out of the Temple.

  54. I notice that the media has buried the cab attacker’s identity as “…a student at the School of Visual Arts and a volunteer for Intersections, which recently produced a statement of support for the Park51 project….” Is there any way you can make that blog entry be at the top of your entries for a while: I suspect very few are going to know this about the attacker.

  55. ++

    Getting Real on Shariah

    [Thus we can no longer ignore the fact that non-radical (non-violent) Islamists who seek a peaceful means of establishing an Islamic state are
    also part of a global movement which stands against western secular
    liberal democracies.]

    The Ground Zero Mosque’s Muslim Opponents

    [“Let us remember that the project organizers themselves created this controversy by announcing that the groundbreaking would take place on the ten-year anniversary of the attack, and that the exact site was selected because of its proximity to Ground Zero. Given that fact, the current media meme that this is not a ‘Ground Zero mosque’ is dishonest spin.”]

    much more here & here & here & here..

    ==

  56. “let me declare that we in New York are Jews and Christians and Muslims, and we always have been.”

    Could he have been referring to the people of New York as being either Jews, Christians, or Muslims? Perhaps.

    Bloomberg must have some monies riding on this mosque being built.

  57. “we undermine our soldiers,” he said. (Bloomberg)

    Not we but YOU!! I am sure you are motivating our troops that are fighting those who brought the towers down and you reward their heart felt loyalty by building the Victory mosque dedicated to our ENEMY. You may now share in the blame for any further loss of life by are military due to discouragement. Satan’s greatest tool – Discouragement. Let me declare, Vengeance is mine says the Lord!!

  58. Michael Savage has a very interesting take as to why our Sweet Little Mayor is so adamant on the topic of the Ground Zero Mosque. Seems that our little Toadie has financial interests in the Middle East that he’s looking to expand upon greatly, thus the unwavering support for the GZM. Sounds like a gross conflict of interest to me. Could it even be a Criminal Offence?

    Listen to Michael Savage on this topic @

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiAsHU8UZpE

  59. can the iman say if as a christian, i do not believe that anyone should be forced to convert into a religion by use of force and when someone decides to leave islam, they should never ever be punished for their decision, then i am a christian? And can he say that if as a christian i love Jesus with all my heart and therefore i will build a church in the heart of saudi to show that love, then i am a christian?

  60. The iman stole christian ideas and twist it for his own interpretation. Love God with all our heart (love the god of his own religion …). Love people (love them by forcing them to accept sharia and to convert ….)

  61. Muslims believe that all people are born as Muslims, but Jews knowingly deny Allah and their birth religion, and Christians have been led astray from Allah and their faith by birth. This angers Allah, who will repay the apostate Muslims who call themselves Jews and Christians (sons and daughters of monkeys and swine) by burning their flesh on spits (like pigs) for eternity in hell. Muslims, thus, believe that they’re obliged to waging Jihad against evil Christians & Jews, as the Kuffars are wildly apostate Muslims.

    By saying that every Jew and Christian is a Muslim — and ALWAYS has been — Bloomberg has unwittingly (I think/hope) ceded to, confirmed, and reinforced a basic tenet of the Islamic faith. Worse, he’s agreed with a basic Islamic theological justification for violent Jihad against Kuffars (infidels).

    Jesus effen’ Christ!

  62. Well – stick a tail on me and call me Ahmoud!! Speak for yourself Bloomberg – you smarmy, treacherous little toad. This is pure evil, sugar-coated in the biggest load of total HOGWASH politics. America PLEASE rise up and get rid of these dreadful demons who are running (ruining) your precious country. Stop this madness now. Glenn Back for president.

  63. I say only after pray is brought back in our schools

  64. The hell I am. You don’t speak for me.

  65. (imo) It is Jews like Bloomberg – who give Jews a bad name…. He is a shameful sellout to his own Race/Religion…..because we all know how much the Muslims hate the Jews and for the sake of $$$ Money $$$ he is forcing this Ground Zero Mosque ‘symbol of conquest’ issue on the Jews and on all Americans.
