Video is at the bottom of the article.

Wait, so they turned on the guy because he looked like a Muslim?scorch-62

Because they thought he looked like a Muslim. Those people there were so out of line and ignorant it really angers me as a Muslim.

*sighs* all this anti muslim crap is pathetic!

Bingo. Non-muslim with an Under Armor skullcap and a Puerto Rican flag on a necklace.Ultimas_Blade

Because they thought he looked like a Muslim.bobcheeseball

Huh as a black guy...I can't believe that...really America?

"freedom-loving Americans gathered in New York City to express their extreme disapproval with the Park 51 project, an al-Qaeda plot to build a community center featuring a swimming pool and auditorium on the very site where a Burlington Coat Factory once stood." LOLjunaid15

What has the world come to? They freak out about a normal guy walking past the protesters and think he's Muslim. why cant people get along...... *sigh*OfficerTJHooka

So..when did an Under Amor skullcap become the official headwear of Muslims? I always thought UA was an athletic brand. Show how much I know..

Wow... I'm really starting to think most American's don't even understand why America was even formed anymore. But then again, there are a lot of ignorant people all around the world, from all walks of life... so this isn't a surprise.

Do most of those people in the crowd even know why they're there, or are they just there because its something to hate and is threatening the sanctity of God's America?

I agree. And even if he WAS a Muslim they don't have the right to insult him and label him as a terrorist.bobcheeseball

Spot on! Muslims citizens are just as much a citizen as anybody else. Why should they be persecuted like that? It wasn't okay in the past and it's not okay today.

Constitution? Pffft. That piece of scraps only good for gun rights!

I feel bad that i even had to see that. Just imagine if the guy was actually muslim.

That was rather pathetic.

Honestly as each day goes on with this "Ground Zero Mosque" debate I am becoming more and more apathetic to the issue.

Is it me, or did he take that extremely well?

If he hadn't he'd have been lynched.

Same here and man if he was muslim then I would really feel bad.

Its an unruly mob what do you expect? Mob mentality tends to take over in these kinds of situations. There is a reason why police had the two seperated. Had someone walked over to the other side of the protest a similar situation would have gone down.

You cannot use distraction in this situation to take the light off of that hate-filled crowd that has been drummed up by it's leaders. Those on the left do notact in such a hysterical fashion on a near daily basis.

People like this will never change, no matter what you do.

They certainly aren't helping their case with childishness like that.

Judging from the video only a couple of people were giving him a hard time. Its sensative issue and a lot of the people there are acting purely on emotions.As I said before, they were seperated by the police to prevent this exact kind of thing from happening.

They have no case. Their case is a big ball of hatred and ignorance.

I am not trying to defend what some of the people in the crowd did. I was just as offended by the video as everyone else. Some of the people who take issue with the mosque are clearly racists and bigots. They do not represent the majority of the people against the mosque seeing how 70% of America is against it.

All of these anti-mosque supporters are completely stupid and I mean they're just dumb. CongressManStan

70% of America is stupid then

Do you have a point? Numbers are meaningless.

If that's your only point, I agree with you.

The sad thing is probably over half of those people don't even know what a mosque is, they just hear the word islam and scream "OMG TERRORISM."

Huh as a black guy...I can't believe that...really America?

Hellfury360

How is him being black relevant? So if it was a non-black person you wouldn't care as much or what?

UnknownSniper65

Why do you bring that statistic up? You think it backs your opinion? Do you realize that it doesn't matter if 70% were for it OR against it? It is PRIVATE property. Whether the Cordoba House should be built or not is not a matter of opinion. It is up to the owners of the property. This campaign of hatred is built on the same line of thought that Legislators in South Carolina along with Calhounhad back during the Nullification Crisis, the "laws apply only as we see fit".

The constitution applies to all Americans, 70% be damned.

How many of you noticed the mosque supporters holding up posters stating SHARIA? It is known that Muslims (though extremists just want to kill us) are wanting people to convert Islam and to follow Sharia law and people wonder why no one wants a mosque near Ground Zero.

If that is the case shouldn't that warrant protest around allplanned mosques?
