Who cares if Muslims build 100 mosques near Ground Zero? Overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence proves they had nothing to do with 9/11. Show me something as simple as a photo or video of AA 77 impacting the Pentagon and I'll rethink my position.
Now if the neocons want to build a new PNAC think tank or CFR gathering spot near Ground Zero -- THAT'S when you should be concerned.
The Photo and video of the planes hitting the WTC is not enough for you? or the Calls made from the plane that crashed in PA?

The new fad has never been to hate any particular religion. The new Fad is to demonize the American Citizens as much as one can, and if they still stand up & protect their beliefs then one can belittle them by calling them racist and bigots.
Very old and more of the same strategy. Americans are very accepting of different religions, hence it is called the melting pot of the world. But the true hatred stems from who wish to overrule the wishes of those involved.

So a mosque going up near Ground Zero is demonizing America?
How so?
As far as I am concerned if you are so "accepting" of other people's cultures, why do you have a problem with this?
I don't understand how you can equate one event and then apply it to EVERY decision a country makes for the rest of time.
It's very silly.
Like I said previously there is abosolutely no evidence, and I dare anybody to say different that the ENTIRE religion that is Islam wants to kill America.
Until then, let people build places of worship wherever they choose.

Where is bigotry even mentioned? It seems that if a group of people who were directly involved in the situation and have lost family members in the said tragedy are against it, their wishes are of no credence?

Bigotry: Obtuse or narrow-minded intolerance, especially of other races or religions

You just blamed one act by a few on an entire group of people who happen to share the religion of the extremists who (supposedly) attacked the towers. How is that not bigotry?

Quit maligning my posts to something I never said. I have only said to respect the wishes of the families affected. If a religion of tolerance fails to do just that, that is bigotry from the community involved in developing this mosque.
If the families involved gave the okay for such a building I have no ISSUES with it.

God Da#, you flag hunters are worse than FOX news. WHO CARES if muslims want to put up a mosque near ground zero...well other then the culturally ignorant, religious intolerant and racist flag humping good ol' boys.
Bismallah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, Islam is not an army, it is a religion. If you do not get the first part of the last sentence then you need to educate yourself on the religion.

If the families objected to the church going up, YES I WOULD ALSO BE AGAINST SUCH A MOVE.
People need to learn respect for the dead and their relatives. Those people in that tower never meant anyone any harm.
How so you may ask? well first off does saudi arabia allow churches to been built? nope they dont allow it because its islam holy hand if you wish,
If the middle east doesn't allow crunches to be built has places of worship whenever we choose why should america or canada allow islam to built theres? if they dont allow ours first?
