gingrichFormer House Speaker Newt Gingrich today compared the mosque planned to go up blocks away from ground zero in New York to Nazis protesting next to the Holocaust museum.

Gingrich highlighted the fact that New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson and numerous others have proposed alternative locations for the mosque in arguing that the leaders of the cultural center are “radical Islamists” who want to prove that “they can build a mosque next to a place where 3,000 Americans were killed by Islamists.”

“That’s why they won’t accept any other offer,” he said during an interview on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.”

Gingrich then declared that if the mosque is indeed being built as a symbol, which its leaders have repeatedly denied, New York authorities have every right to prevent it from being built.

“We ought to be honest about the fact that we have a right and this happens all the time in America,” he said.

“Nazis don’t have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust museum in Washington,” Gingrich insisted, speaking of the museum where just a year ago a guard was killed by a white supremacist trying to enter the building with a gun.

Gingrich then went on to claim that “we would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor.”

“There is no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center,” he said.

  1. Well SAID …. This should be stopped in the name of PEACE. Their presence is a slap in the face to everyone who died and whom Islam calls Infidels.

  2. The comparison to the Japanese and Pearl Harbor is excellent. I think Gingrich should leave out the Nazi comparison, it hypes up the rhetoric and sidetracks the real issue.

  3. to #4 the whole thing is rhetoric, there is no real issue. The issue is banning moslems who had zero to do with 9/11 from building a mosque. Bigotry at its worst. I dont like moslems and wouldnt mind if they never build a mosque in the US but to just ban them because we dont like them or becasue of some concoted excuse like its insensitve is pure bigotry
