As revenge for the mosque being built, I will mail them 30 un inflated balloons every day. With tiny needle holes in them so they can't be inflated properly.

Dear (insert higher deity here), man! Are you trying to cause a (Jihad/Crusade) here?!

Quickly, call a Crusade on the Jihad on the Crusade against the Jihad!

Hi!

Quickly, call a Crusade on the Jihad on the Crusade against the Jihad!

You are already too late anyway. The leader of the Christian Church, namely the Pope, is already involved in forging an alliance with leaders among the Muslims against the infidelity of the modern secular democracy. :) :) :)

A bit late to the party, but just wanted to toss in an opinion as a Muslim.

It's IMO, not a good idea. Not to any of my friends either. I mean, it was intended to build religious tolerance, but what it looks like is that some terrorists send in a demolition team, knock down a landmark, and raise a flag (a mosque) in its place. Wrong time, wrong place.

This might be a good idea as a memorial 20-40 years after the War on Terror ends, but not now. Especially not when the whole South Park censorship incident started in New York.

If you'd read the rest of the thread, you'd know that the mosque is not being built on ground zero. Also, you would know that there are plans for a tower to be built there, with said mosque happening to be a block or two away, in an area traditionally zoned for religious buildings. I see no problem with this, as the mosque will not teach extremism.

"Ground zero" means the area around the footprint of the old buildings, it includes things across the street, not just the precise area where a WTC building used to be.

The site of the new mosque is on the grave of what used to be a Greek Orthodox church. Yes, its there for religious structures. Is it cool to build a church on the mass grave of muslims or jews? You suppose it would be politically incorrect to challenge an organization that wanted to build a Christian church on the ashes of a synagogue burned down in 1938 Germany? "who fuckin cares its zoned as religious shit, is it not? fuggitaboutit"

I don't see what's wrong about building a religious structure where a different religious structure used to be

[HAMMERMILL]

Me neither. But alot of people DO take offense. Thats democracy for you. Alot of people are just not keen on the idea of an mosque next to the site of a large scale, islamic inspired massacre.

I'm getting sick of people invoking personal freedom in order to prevent people from doing things.

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

Democracy =/= freedom. Tyranny of the masses and all that. All democracy means is that that the majority of the people in a nation have direct or strong influnces over the government and its policy and actions.

Still doesn't make it right. That's why i's being discussed. Here poeple seems to realize that all muslim doesn't want their guts.
Maybe even that some Muslims are in first line against Islamic fundamentalism.
