                             INSULT MOSQUE

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Speaker, the people who want to build a 
mosque at Ground Zero now want American taxpayers to pay $5 million to 
help build that mosque. Those who beg for American money to build an 
insult mosque on Ground Zero disrespect the 3,000 people of all faiths, 
nations, and religions that were murdered by a radical Islamic faction 
on 9/11.
  Ground Zero is sacred American soil. It's where America was ambushed 
by killers from the sky. A taxpayer-funded mosque at the site comes 
across as a memorial and tribute to the radical terrorists that 
murdered in the name of religion. Such a plan is unwise, insensitive, 
and shameful.
  Those who wish to build a mosque should instead build a monument and 
a memorial to the victims of 9/11--victims that include Christians, 
Jews, and Muslims. Otherwise, Ground Zero is off-limits.
  And that's just the way it is.
