For 'Palestinians,' the celebration of 9/11 continues

On 9/11, the 'Palestinians' danced and handed out candy in the streets to celebrate the deaths of 3,000 Americans at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania.

Let's go to the videotape.



Nine years later, the Hamas 'Palestinian' terror group - which led many of those 9/11 celebrations - has come out in support of the construction of a mosque on the site of Ground Zero to celebrate Islam's 'victory' on 9/11/2001.

A leader of the Hamas terror group yesterday jumped into the emotional debate on the plan to construct a mosque near Ground Zero -- insisting Muslims "have to build" it there.

"We have to build everywhere," said Mahmoud al-Zahar, a co-founder of Hamas and the organization's chief on the Gaza Strip.

"In every area we have, [as] Muslim[s], we have to pray, and this mosque is the only site of prayer," he said on "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" on WABC.

"We have to build the mosque, as you are allowed to build the church and Israelis are building their holy places."

Hamas, he added, "is representing the vast majority of the Arabic and Islamic world -- especially the Islamic side."

...

Zahar said Muslims around the world, including those who live in this country, are united in a common cause.

"First of all, we have to address that we are different as people, as a nation, totally different," he said.

"We already are living under the tradition of Islam.

"Islam is controlling every source of our life as regard to marriage, divorce, our commercial relationships," Zahar said.

"Even the Islamic people or the Muslims in your country, they are living now in the tradition of Islam. They are fasting; they are praying."

Go back to that video again. The mosque would cap the celebration that started nine years ago. Should they be allowed to win?
