convinced that Rev. Bill\u2019s strategy for countering Islam\u2019s lies is going to be at all effective, I am eagerly awaiting the flood of support he will undoubtedly receive from all those who trumpet the mosque developers\u2019 constitutional right to build their mosque anywhere they jolly well want to.<\/p>\n
From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n An evangelical preacher has vowed to build a Christian centre at New York\u2019s ground zero in protest at the mosque proposed to be built there.<\/p>\n Bill Keller said he is raising funds to build a house of worship within a few blocks of where terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n As tension mounted ahead of the ninth anniversary of the attack this Saturday, Keller said Muslims were \u2018going to hell\u2019 and he had to intervene to counter \u2018the lies of Islam\u2019.<\/p>\n Keller, a TV evangelist, has ratcheted up the ill-feeling directed towards Muslims and his inflammatory language sparked renewed fears of Islamophobic responses.<\/p>\n His first sermon was on Sunday at the New York Marriott Downtown Hotel, his temporary headquarters, and he plans to open his Christian centre on January 1 next year.<\/p>\n ‘When they decided to build a mosque and decided to preach what I consider a 1,400-year-old lie from Hell, I decided that somebody should be down there preaching the truth of God’s word,\u2019 Keller told the crowd.<\/p>\n \u2018All these people will die and burn in hell.
