Re: Talk of Mosque 2 blocks away from Ground Zero
until May last year there was a much bigger mosque only two blocks north of the currently proposed site and nobody gave a shit.

"Lower Manhattan is pretty small. You can’t see Ground Zero from our current building and on completion of our planned building some years from now, there won’t be any views of the Ground Zero memorial from the building. To honor those killed on September 11th, we have planned for a public memorial within our future facility as well as reflection space open to all"

One would almost think that something like 60 Muslims (excluding hijackers) did not die in the attacks. Small percentage, but they still died.

Islam is not Al Qaida.
The same morons who think Obama is a Muslim are also against the mosque. Michael bloomberg, the Republican mayor of NYC approves of the mosque.

a strudel shop or a pub selling lager would be closer comparisons.
Waffen SS - bad
Mosque - neutral

'Thomas Jefferson, who owned and read a copy of the Quran, wrote in 1816, "The most sacred of the duties of a government [is] to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens." Today government officials are dictating where private citizens should erect their houses of worship.'

we could do away with pork shops, in case the mafia are cutting up bodies in them, same for barber shops. catholic churches in case little kiddies are being abused in them. Lets do away with council houses in case the IRA are making bombs in them or Nilsen like serial killer is in one.

I don't. It's a church for people to go and pray in and learn more about their religion. I'm so glad I'm not a Muslim, the crap they must have to deal with on a day to day basis because people can't see the person through the religion must be be horrendous.
