but that doesnt matter because 911 was done by the government and not muslims. so muslims had nothing to do with the attacks, its ok, let them build a mosque.

on the other hand they should arrest bush for crimes on humanity..


9/11 was done by specially trained Al-CIA-da Muslims who were used as tools by the Bush government, so NYC has every reason and every right to feel agitated and upset over the construction and following inauguration of a mosque near Ground Zero.

To the survivors of 9/11 and the residents of the Big Apple, this mosque is a spit in the face to them.

There are many people that do not want this Mosque near the twin Towers.
Ask yourself how you would feel when every morning you're awakened by the call for prayer.
It's coming folks, it's coming.

I live next to a church, I get woken up by the church bells. Can you tell me a difference?

just putting this out there, isnt the call to prayer only in majority muslim countries? even with mosques with minirates , they cant use them without permission (and i havent seen any here that use that for calls to prayer)
so i am curious where you got that idea from.

(I wrote this as a reply to this thread but it was closed and suggested to post in an existing thread.)

Welcome to America. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". Free, freedom of religion that's constitutionally guaranteed as an American.

You want to put a religious place of worship near the place where people deliberately crashed airplanes into a symbol of America while killing thousands? For a moment let's believe the OS of 9/11 that 19 al-Qaeda terrorists of the Islamic faith orchestrated and implemented the events of that tradic day. Should Americans, even feeling a wound that hasn't healed, being a truly multiculteralist society, actually hold the beliefs of a small number of radicals representative of the entire one and a half billion people of the religion? For pespective, I was raised Roman Catholic although have been in a religous state of limbo for a number of years.

Let me sidestep for a moment to atempt an analogy of sorts . Most people will agree that illegal immigration should not be tolerated for a variety of reasons. . But as soon as Arizona tries to enforce existing laws people become "up in arms" over racial profiling. I'm not really sure what the problem is. If you shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be here and if there's an opportunity to get caught it should be taken advantage of, end of story. For the record, I'm American, both sides of my family came here from Europe, they learned the language and they became legal Americans.

People want to give freedom of religion where they feel safe that freedom should be granted in the same way people want to stop illegal immigration but only in the way they feel it's acceptable to do so? I really don't understand the concept of either of these but it seems to be the way some people think and feel.

My opinion on the topic at hand is that they should be able to build their mosque at the location in question. Either that or I tend to question if this is really America. Home of the free, home of the brave? Stereotyping never seems to be a good thing to do and only creates animosity by doing so.

Quite simply this is the United States of America and we are supposed to believe in freedom of religion. As long as the building in question complies with the local zoning its not really anyone's concern what goes there. From one of the articles already posted in defense of not putting it there it is already used as a place for Muslims to hold prayer services once a week anyway.

Another worried it'll be used as a front for terrorist activity. That was probably one of the more sad ones I have seen in a while because to be blunt, dishonest people will sometimes use their business as a front for a wide variety of crimes the Subway down the street from me was being used to sell drugs out of it. does that mean that we should prevent new Subways from opening?

People tend to forget that a number of Muslims died in those two towers as well, and not only did they have to face the grief of that, they got burdened with the fact that some morons who happened to share their faith albeit a wildly radical end of that particular faith decided to fly a couple airplanes into them.

If it is a choice of dying because some ignorant fool cant deal with a building going up decides to resort to force to prevent these people from practicing their religion, and being perfectly safe by denying them their right to do so then by all means I prefer to die. To choose anything else invalidates the core principles that this nation was built on.

And the worst of the lot in this whole mess are the Christians who are so willing to persecute anyone and everyone else on this subject when the most basic tenant of their faith is to forgive. Even in this case when those building a house of worship had nothing to do with the event to begin with. The only reason to prevent this from being built is to continue fostering malice and hatred toward their neighbors.

Well well well, how about this? How do y'all feel about this. I think we're heading for a Muslim country. Now I don't mind religious freedom at all BUT this just seems to spit on the faces of the family menbers of 911 victims. If they're going to build a Mosque in NY then fine but why so close to ground zero??

How do you see this as a spit on the face of the family members?

Don't you think Bush being free is a spit on the face of the family members of those who died in Iraq?

This is not a spit, this is love spit, if you know what I mean..



It's more like verbal diarrhea if you ask me. How much do you want to bet it never gets built? And if it does, how will the builders stop the demonstrations that will no doubt take place around the job site? Hummm?
