Well, I think this is ignorant on all sides. It's incredibly ignorant of the people at the committee who assume that Muslims are all Jihadists, and it's incredibly ignorant of the Cordoba to assume it'll fair well to build a mosque in an area that is made special by attacks by jihadists.

Yaay, contradictions!  :D



My sarcasm meter may or may not be working.


American reporting in...
I see no problem here. Some people in America are really anal about blaming others for things...

Same here.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Inconvenient though it is to some of us, a mosque should be built in America as easily as a new Roman Catholic cathedral. Living in Indiana I have no national concern over this matter as it is happening in another city, in another state. If a New Yorker wishes to petition or protest or rant or rally, that's New York's politics, not America's.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

First they built a Mosque in New York, and I did not bitch because I was not from New York
Then they built a Mosque in Chicago, and I did not bitch because I was not from Chicago
Then they built a Mosque in Indiana, and there was nobody left to bitch for me. :(

Hi!

First they built a Mosque in New York, and I did not bitch because I was not from New York
Then they built a Mosque in Chicago, and I did not bitch because I was not from Chicago
Then they built a Mosque in Indiana, and there was nobody left to bitch for me. :(

Actually, this works somewhat differently:

First they discriminated Muslims and I didn't complain as I am not a Muslim.
Then they discriminated Mormons and I didn't complain as I am not a Mormon.
Then they discriminated my people and there was no one left to help us :(

They should build a Scientology center in the mosque when it's finished. Because, you know, freedom of religion and stuff.

I don't know what I'm saying there. I don't think I have a motive. I just think it would be hilarious to have a big building with every single churchybuilding around it, like a mall food court. Or all built inside each other like nesting dolls.

You know, I'd be interested in seeing whether a scientology building (do they even have an equivalent of churches?) would draw more or less resistance than the mosque. I think more, but who knows.

Surprisingly enough, there are more Republicans in the United States than there are /b/tards.

Meh, you can be antiscientology and not be from 4chan. The entry requirements for being antiscientology are actually very low.

Sure, but outside of Europe, everybody protesting Scientology goes dressed as Guy Fawkes.

As the New York Times pointed out, there's a strip-club two blocks from the WTC plaza, that did indeed open in the past few years.  Something tells me this is a very specific brand of reactionary-ism.

The sexy kind.

Hey, I bet there are homeless people within two blocks of the WTC plaza!

Homeless people never blow buildings up, though.

You'd think they would, the fire could keep them warm for days.
