New Yorkers oppose Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero by 2-to-1 margin
New York pols, however, seem determined to ignore the will of the people. We have not given up, however, and never will. "New York City Voters Oppose Mosque Near Ground Zero, Poll Says," by Martin Z. Braun for Bloomberg, July 1 (thanks to Twostellas):

While a majority opposed the center, 55 percent of those questioned said "mainstream Islam" is a "peaceful religion." To 22 percent of respondents, the religion "encourages violence against non-Muslims." Another 23 percent were undecided....
