The Brooklyn Tea Party is taking it to the streets tomorrow, staging a rally against assembly members Steven Cymbrowitz and Helene Weinstein for their support for the construction of a mosque on Voorhies Avenue in Sheepshead Bay. The rally will be in front of Cymbrowitz’s campaign headquarters.
Say the organizers:
The press conference will denounce Steven Cymbrowitz and Helene Weinstein in particular for their failure to respond to their constituents’ letters and rallies denouncing the Voorhies mosque. We have sent Cymbrowitz and Weinstein letters with over 1,300 signatures. The community has held two rallies with over one hundred and fifty participants at each. Yet Mr. Cymbrowitz and Ms. Weinstein will not speak publicly on the issue. Both are cowards, neither are representatives.
Many members of the Brooklyn TEA Party will attend. We will have a table, a banner and signs. We will ask the community to punish these politicians for ignoring their communities.

What is the issue with the proposed mosque? Is it in compliance with local zoning and other regulations? If it is, they should be permitted to build, just as a shul or yeshiva should be permitted to build. If it is not in compliance, it should be required to come into compliance before it is permitted to build.
I question if this is really “tea party”. The tea party movement is about fiscal policy, and all of the New York Democrats (and especially the Jewish ones) are known for fiscal irresponsibility. That these purported “tea partiers” are into bashing Muslims (not addressing whether that is a good idea) rather than tax and spending polcies, suggests that are not real “tea party” people.
The issue is a radical terrorist supporting, anti semitic imam who wants to build a victory mosque to celebrate radical islams defeat of the west.

All Muslims are not radical terrorists, nor are they all anti-semites.
If they are in compliance with zoning regulations they should get their permit. To deny them their civil rights would be equivbalent to “modern Jews” protesting a new yeshiva on the ground that it is religious coersion.
