K, first of all, people need to know the facts about the Mosque before making assumptions.
It's not on ground zero, it's 2 blocks away, I wouldn't want any building other than a memorial built there. Second, this is in no way an extremist mosque whatsoever. The Imam there writes articles denouncing fundamentalist Islam, and all religions in their fundamentalist form. It's not going to be only a mosque, it's a community center that ANY New Yorker can visit, it simply has a prayer room for Muslims.

If you say there can't be mosque on ground zero, can you not also stop the building of Churches in Jerusalem and every city the KKK operated in? They committed atrocities in the so called name of Christianity.

And finally, it denies people of their most basic rights. Even if you're not Muslim, and you hate every Muslim, Moderates as well as the very small group of extremists, this will hurt you. It lets the government and the general thoughts of the public decide which parts of the Bill of Rights applies to you.

If it's two blocks away, that's fine. But from what I heard, and from what the media (not just Fox) said about it, it sounded like they were putting it ON Ground Zero.

The Islamic center's leaders say they plan to build the $100 million, 13-story facility called Cordoba House three blocks from the site of the 9/11 attacks. The developer, Sharif El-Gamal, describes the project as an "Islamic community center" that would include a 500-seat performing arts center, a lecture hall, a swimming pool, a gym, a culinary school, a restaurant and a prayer space for Muslims.

dem terrorists, they like to swim and watch performing arts.

And yet the percentage of people that still approve of him is about 27-30%.

I'm assuming here, but I think it's due to how the media in general is portraying it. They call it,
"The Mosque on Ground Zero" and don't elaborate.

Yea. I didn't get enough info because I haven't heard it any other way. Plus, I haven't had my usual time to investigate. Work and School @_@

I never asked who liked him. You said he did practically nothing. I gave you over 100 things he has promised and done.

"Muslims are the ones who caused 911!!!! I say get rid of them all they are nothing but stupid ragheaded idiots working for terrorist groups."

DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!
surprisingly there are two other people on my side, a Muslim girl and a Pagan man who even sent me a message thanking me

 

[«Jack»]

There was some idiot in the comments of the story on some site complaining about the double standard of freedom of religion, saying that Muslims can build the mosque, but God is being taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance and that that's not fair. The next three intelligent comments asked him to sit down and think about what he just whined about.

and then I read the topic.

the mosque at the 9/11 ground zero?
correct me if I'm wrong please, as I don't actually know, but were the terrorist pilot/hijackers muslim? if they were, then making ground zero (their suicide goal) a sacred place makes them more or less immortal, or at least recognized for their accomplishment. which is kinda offensive to those who lost something from the act. not that I really lost anything, except the whole world trade center being economically-supportive to america and so on.

on another note, anybody seen loose change? interesting stuff, bros.

Flip back a few pages and look at what Pear said.
1) It's not a mosque, it's a community center that anyone can visit that simply has a prayer room in it.

2) It's 3 blocks from Ground Zero.

my bad.

thanks for clearing that up.

are they calling it a mosque, or are they calling it a community prayer center, or whatever neutral term you wanna say? (not trying to be an ass there, btw :/)

if it was dedicated to the muslim religion established for ground zero (wherever the location would be), I would still feel the same, in that it's glorifying those who killed innocent people, and were (for lack of a better word), terrorists.

but that's not the case.

loose change, anybody?

Funny, I thought it dropped to less than that. But I'm sure he'll throw enough money in the fire one of these days to make his approval rate rise again.

@Topic: Those all make me laugh. Sure, I hate the guy but even I have hate limits or w/e. And the Muslims I know are cool dudes.

I'm pretty sure the Muslims call it a community center, but the whole situation been blown out of proportion by various outlets.

Where in the heck did you get that number? His approval rating, as of right now, is 43%.

And the other 57% is probably Republicans, so I bet he's doing fine.
