    Like he says, the name: Ground Zero Mosque is extremely misleading, because it's not build on Ground Zero and it's not a mosque at all.

    The building is actually aimed to help close the gap between people of all faith and everyone is welcome. And if the US was really such a supporter of freedom of all kinds of stuff and rights for all kinds of people and bla bla bla, it would support this project.
    Atleast make me work for it you moron.

    I'd prefer that nobody build anything at Ground Zero, and leave it as is, as a reminder of what happened that day.

    Do I want them to build a church? No

    Do I want them to build a mosque? No

    Can I do anything about it either way? No

    Can I voice my opinion on what I wish they would/wouldn't do with the land? Yes

    I can't believe this topic has gotten so out of hand

    Of course everyone in USA should have the right to build what they want, where they want. But having the right is different than having some consideration. For example, the USA did not send any government representatives to the annual Japanese Hiroshima ceremonies until this year. So for me, the question is not ‘why let them build it?’. The question is ‘why don’t these Islamic folks show some consideration?’.

    They built sushi restaurants around pearl harbor.

    Tough to feel pity for a nation that our news stations have slowly been insinuating are the next enemy in the war on terror.

    Another thing not being reported: the three American hostages in Iran. It's been over a year I believe. Basically this will become another political tool for Republicans and they'll end up doing what they did to Jimmy Carter and have "Day 402 of the Iranian hostage crisis" and shit like that. I haven't seen anything on them at all recently.

    The question is: are you willing to use force to get these people to stop building the mosque in that specific location? Which, is what involving the government would mean.

    Basically us (European retards) founded your country, unless you are a native American. And speaking of kings fucking up our country, I'm not sure what you are basing your statements on.
    While G.W. Bush fucking up your country can be backed up with more sources than this forum can handle.
    And your presidents form the basis for an entire free world? How free are you? Or go ask that question in Iraq or Afghanistan.

    As far as a mosque at ground zero, there are obvious reasons that you are all so retarded that you overlook them. Ground zero is a sensitive area, and building a mosque anywhere near there is a spit in the face of all who sacrificed their lives during 9/11. You are European, so you have no idea what it means to be a patriotic American, so you wouldn't understand anyway.

    I am fine with mosques being built anywhere else, but anywhere near ground zero is just plain stupidity. That mosque will be lucky if it doesn't get blown up itself. That would be putting those muslims in danger of harassment at the very least, and life threatening danger at the worst. If you think of both sides of the coin, then everyone would agree it is stupid to place a mosque there.
    Instead of crying about a mosque, go close down all the official Government-related buildings around the WTC.
    Have you ever even been at the WTC ground? I have, and if you did the same you cannot say anything other than that it's giving you a creepy feeling that they are trying to cover things up as fast as possible. Too fast..
    Unless you don't WANT to see the things that happened there. Too many "coincidences". Sure it's too fucked up and too scary to be true, eh..



    And anyway, you Americans cry about terrorists etc. Yet the people in Pakistan are paying with U.S. Dollars. Where do they get those from? And your weapon factories are booming and counting for like 60% of your economy.
    The United States are the world's largest arms EXPORTER. Where are those arms going to? To the boy-scouts to hunt rabbits?
