Schumer Remains Silent On Hamas Support

After Barack Hussein Obama’s controversial decision to support the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City, countless individuals have stepped forward and shared their position on this issue, including the co-founder of Hamas, Mahmoud al-Zahar, who said yesterday that Muslims “have to build” the mosque.

"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."

New York’s senior U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is famous for his candor before TV cameras on a range of issues, has remained silent and refused to take a public position. This weekend Schumer’s office wouldn’t even respond to emails seeking comment on President Obama’s remarks last Friday.

“It’s a remarkable commentary on the most camera-friendly Senator that he’s more than happy to weigh-in on caffeinated malt beverages, but he won’t take a public position on the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Brian Walsh. “It’s time for Chuck Schumer to stand up and be counted – does he stand with President Obama in support of this mosque or does he stand with the countless 9/11 families who believe it’s location is inappropriate? Chuck Schumer’s continued silence on this issue is not the type of leadership New Yorkers deserve from their senior Senator.”

Obama remains silent on Hamas endorsing his position on the Ground Zero mosque.  Schumer who has supported the building of the mosque remains silent on Hamas backing the mosque.  Obama and Schumer have been vocal on the Ground Zero mosque and now they won’t say anything.  What are they afraid of?
