Tonight, Jon Stewart criticized Fox News' opposition to the "Ground Zero Mosque" by using the network's own terrorism-sniffing standards to brand it a "terrorist command center," and finished with an unlikely (yet extremely poignant) lesson from Charlton Heston. Video inside.

Oh, CNN, you amuse us: three days after a hilarious typo appeared on screen (see it here), Wolf Blitzer entered The Situation Room today with "New Developments" suggesting that—shocker!—President Obama is not, in fact, a Muslim. Screengrab inside.

A new poll today showed that slightly more Americans think Barack Obama is a Muslim. It's no big deal. Still, a White House spokesman has responded, "The president is obviously a Christian. He prays everyday." What a nerd. [Pic: Gawker.TV]

Tonight, Jon Stewart issued a one-two punch regarding the proposed "Ground Zero Mosque." First, to President Obama for flip-flopping on his support for it, and then to Glenn Beck for criticizing another's statements about 9/11 that he'd recently made himself.

Master of subtle rationality Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves today to discuss the Ground Zero non-mosque (just like Newt Gingrich did this morning) and, in the process, called Barack Obama "our first anti-American president." Audio of Limbaugh's rant, inside.

On Fox & Friends this morning, Newt Gingrich took nonsensical arguments against the Ground Zero Islamic cultural center (not a mosque) to a new level by comparing it to the Nazis putting up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum.

On Friday, President Obama spoke out supporting the right of the developers of the Cordoba House—the so-called "ground zero mosque"—to build at their site. And Republicans wouldn't shut up about it. It's okay! We have other ideas.

Today we looked at some dumphead from the American Family Association and his brilliant no more more mosques anywhere, ever campaign. Naturally this stirred the commenting cauldron, with one reader in particular offering an insightful personal rumination.

Anti-mosque fever is all the rage nationwide, not just in lower Manhattan. Everyone's doing it! And now the American Family Association, a religious right heavyweight, has taken it to a new level: no more mosques in the United States, period.

Fox News' super-funny Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld wants to open a gay bar that "caters to... Islamic gay men" next to Cordoba House, a.k.a. the Ground Zero Mosque, because Muslims are homophobic. Savvy! Go for it, Greg. Seriously.

A right wing advocacy group founded by radical cleric Pat Robertson yesterday sued New York over the Islamic center near Ground Zero because the city "allowed the intended use of the building and political considerations to taint the deliberative process."

The backers of the "Ground Zero" "Mosque"—a proposed Muslim community center in an old Burlington Coat Factory building—say they'll include a 9/11 memorial in their building. So every posturing idiot, shut up please. What's that, Abe Foxman?

Dove World Outreach Center pastor Terry Jones—the man who hopes to lead his flock in a mass Koran-burning in September to commemorate 9/11—says that he's as welcoming of other faiths as the next guy.

The Anti-Defamation League has issued a pathetic statement opposing Cordoba House, aka the "Ground Zero Mosque." While the ADL condemns the bigotry galvanizing Cordoba's opponents, and thinks proponents have "every right" to build there... it says they shouldn't anyway. Huh?

If you've ever wondered what The Apprentice would be like if all the business stuff was replaced with the duties of an Imam, wonder no longer. Malaysia has a super exciting reality show based on this premise!

Newt Gingrich, who's justified his opposition to the "Ground Zero Mosque" by noting that there aren't churches in Saudi Arabia, now says that these Muslims should build their community center near Central Park, or Columbia. How about Connecticut, Newt? Quebec?

Hmm, how should a nation square its mainstream prejudice against Muslims with that damn "freedom of religion" right in the Constitution? Tennessee Lieutenant Gov. Ron Ramsey, currently running for governor, suggests that maybe they're not a "religion" anyway! Perfect.

Last night, the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission met to discuss possibly designating a building on Park Place, north of Wall Street, as a landmark. Of course, the hearing was not about architecture. It was about saving us from THE OTHER.

French non-Muslim people are very scared of Muslims: France's lower house of parliament has "overwhelmingly" approved a ban on face-covering veils that only 1,900 French Muslim women wear anyway. The French simply do not care for clothing-related civil liberties.

Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris created "Everybody Draw Mohammed" day earlier this year as a humorous way to stand up for free speech. Didn't go over so well. Live and learn. Now, Al Qaeda wants her dead for it. Unacceptable.
