Talk about insensitive, they want to build a 13 story mosque down the street from ground zero. I do believe that they would burn them out. They also want to start construction on, yep, Sept 11 next year, the 10th annv.

Insensitive to whom?

The Muslim community (the non-fundamental majority) was dealt a major blow by 9-11.

So they want to build a church "because of" 9-11.

Better than starting a war because of it I suppose.

^What if that 'church' preaches further 'war'?

^What if they spray purple tinted toilet water on the backs of girl scouts?

Have you been watching YouTube again?

^No.......well maybe.

Point IS..........this is still the USA; and while some may consider it insensitive, it is still legal to built a church using lawful means.

What IF doesn't mean squat.........if the church leaders incite followers to violence, then we have agencies that can and will address that......I mean ****.........they wouldn't even let Cat Stevens into the country. What.....were they afraid he'd whip out his guitar and expose them all to "Peace Train"????

I hear a lot of people say "Love it or leave it" when it comes to the way things in the USA work out........well.......freedom of religious expression is a big one.........perhaps THE big one.

Anyone who is opposed is welcome to try life in a country whose government will kill you for worshiping as a Christian...........like Detroit.

I really do agree with you, but someone has to play devil's advocate.

I do think though that if we're going to uphold one part of the Constitution, then we should uphold all of it, regardless of 'feelings' or changing political correctness BS.

Catholic churches aren't stopped from building near schools, are they?

Fuzz isn't banned from posting here, is he?

I was, once.

Fuzz is a douche sometimes...( Catholic Basher)

If the Muslims can afford the property they should have a Mosque anywhere they decide..

I think the Jews should build a Temple next door to them.

wheel,

wheel,

12: I bash all religions.

They are clearly going to get a lot of free publicity here. Personally, I'd combine services at the mosque to take advantage of this. Maybe add a drive-thru where you can buy donuts, muffins, etc.

14: And pulled pork sammiches

You have to admit that at best it's a big double standard --- draw a cartoon of Mohammed or something similarly innocuous and get death threats or killed, yet they seem to have no problem doing something as insensitive as this: building a mosque next to Ground Zero. If they want tolerance and understanding, how about starting with where they build this thing? Fools, or either they're happily antagonizing us.

16: Yes, every Muslim is the same, exactly the same, they all think alike.

Just like Christians and Jews and Buddhists, right?

Yep, Robert you just made yourself out to be one seriously ignorant and bigoted dumbass. If that's not the case, then please forgive my mistake.

I really like how nobody has zeroed in yet on yet another media attempt to make tools of it's viewers. This "mosque" is actually a community center, which will hold all sorts of cool things for the community within it. It is being built by some Muslim/Christian fellowship society and the attempt is to bring some sense of "community" to an otherwise concrete urban jungle. Of course there just happens to be a prayer room inside so those of Islamic Faith can pray per their beliefs, and that part of the story is the moneyshot.

Free your mind folks, and stop being made into tools by clever headlines.

and for Robert, go pick up a list of Muslim heros and heroines on 9/11. Punch yourself in the nose for being a dumbass too.

Insensitive ?

This is still America.They have the right to build where ever they want...

Btw,

Ground Zero has turned into a Political Tug o War.

The best memeorial would be to rebuild a thriving office tower that made lots of money.Not some Politically correct crap...

wheel,

excuse me, I mean ignorant bigoted dumbass.
