"in all fairness, we've been building ground zero's next to iraqi mosques since 2003"

I usually disagree with everything Jerome says, but I have to give it to him... this thread I agree with him 100% on every post he made.

BTW it's not even really a mosque... it's 13 stories, there's going to be a basketball court and culinary school.

[kthx]

And its going to not be happening, which is why I stopped posting in this irrelevant thread anyways. Sorry you American hating douchebags, not this time. Score one for America and God.

This thread was mostly stupid and the stupid was tl;dr, but, there are two ways to frame the question:

1. Should a mosque be built near Ground Zero?
2. Should the government prevent citizens from building a house of worship on private property?

Two very different questions. Many will agree that a mosque shouldn't be built, but many will agree that the government should not blatantly infringe first amendment rights. So what it amounts to, effectively, is a bunch of rednecks bitching about Muslims, and a bunch of hippies mad at rednecks.

My take? Conservatives can't have it both ways. You want limited government? Then stick to whining and circlejerking about the 'mosque' on Twitter, and maybe get a bumper sticker.

Only if you equate Al-Qaeda with Islam, and assume that the beliefs and desires of the Muslims who are building this religious center and the Muslims who would pray there are the same as the beliefs and desires of the terrorists who attacked us. By this logic, Christians should never build a church too close to where a Christian extremist once blew up an abortion clinic.
Muslims have a history of building mosques at places of conquest and Christians have done the same - this must mean that all churches are markers of great Christian victories, right? Once again, this claim assumes that the Muslims who will use this facility - the average Muslims who are AMERICAN CITIZENS and NEW YORKERS - look back at 9/11 not as an atrocity, but a victory.

The difference is Christianity is the religion of America. Other religions are tolerated and allowed but Christianity is what brought about most of the great things out country has done.
