NEW YORK - After hours of contentious public comment, a New York City community board voted late Tuesday to support a plan to build a mosque and cultural center near ground zero.
"It's a seed of peace," board member Rob Townley said. "We believe that this is a significant step in the Muslim community to counteract the hate and fanaticism in the minority of the community."
The vote was 29-to-1 in favor of the plan, with 10 abstentions. The move by the Manhattan Community Board 1, while not necessary for the building's owners to move forward with the project, is seen as key to obtaining residents' support.

BOYCOTT NEW YORK AMERICA !
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unreal, I can not believe this, spit on the graves of thousands....
Lets put a Hitler symbol on Jewish churches, no wait the holocost never happened I forgot.
I want to know the companies in NY who are going to help build this property , concrete , ect ect, boycott them not NY.
New York deserves what they will get. The Muslims will use this temple of hate to recruit more terrorist and raise money to kill Americans. New York is inhabitated by a bunch of moronic liberals that will wonder why the muslims attacked them after they were nice enough to let them have their mosque.
NY deserves what ever they get. I don't feel sorry for them at all. They are showing their weakness by letting this happen. Nothing good will come from this action.
NY is full of liberal progressives trying to make nice with terrorists .
I agree that NYC deserves to reap what it sows, but you know as well as I, that we'll end up paying for their stupid policies.
Just look at Commiefornia.
We're all going to have to pay them off too.
We need to pull the plug on this garbage and have a clean slate.
Cry more. I hope it's the biggest and most Muslim-y mosque in the world just to piss off people like you.
Vote 'EVERY politician out of off when elections come cause they are ALL idiots and are contributing to the ruination of our country.
"NYC deserves to reap what it sows". Weren't you the same people who rightfully called 9/11 an attack on American, because you are such patriots? Now because they erect this building, they deserve to be attacked again?
Ever wonder where that ignorant, racist, redneck Eastern Shore hillbilly stereotype came from?

Yes we were, but most of America learned their lesson about Muslims after 9/11. Unfortunately there are segments in America (whiny ass liberals) that think like Obama that if we are just nice to Muslims they will be nice to us, but the truth is as long as we are not willing to live like cave men and not convert to their religion they will always hate us and try to kill us.
As for your last comment we native shoremen could care less what you moronic Baltimorons (or wherever else you came from)call us. We only wish you would go back and let us get or old way of life back. We didn't ask you to come here and if you don't like it here we sure as hell will not ask you to stay.
1:43 What stereo type people on the shore are from everywhere .
I hope Robert Taylor gets blown up by a terrorist !
Wow, way to be hateful Anon 5:50. I'm sure that's the "Christian Love" I've heard so much about.
Typical of libs to do this.
Robert who said I was a Christian ? Maybe I'm a Muslim hence the blown up thingy thats kind of our deal .
3:11, maybe I should believe that ALL white people are ignorant hate-filled dumb@$$es because I run into a few ignorant hate-filled dumb@$$ white folk walking around.
My point? Islam is not evil. But you do have a minority that use Islam to spread hate, just as the KKK use Christianity to justify their hatred. Would you be against erecting a church?
10:22 I would tend to agree with that but if you would take the time and read the Koran they are doing exactly as it says. Kill non believers !
That will be a slap in the face of all the Firefighters and Police officers who lost their life that day! I think we have already lost our great country.
Robert Taylor = Terrorist sympathizer !
