Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

Except it was in the mash about two weeks ago.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

Let me rephrase: Finding jokes like this funny is an accurate barometer in determining the length of time people have lived in Canada.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

That may be so....but I don't read girls magazines; this however was sent to me by a Brit....Brits and there cute little ways.....God love em.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

First time I've heard the mash be called a girls magazine:confused:

Still, now you mock the person who sent you it after you posted it yourself? Make your mind up.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

Where did I say that I personally find this amusing?

As for mocking someone here....certainly not a UK based friend.

But just in case Alan...do you know any purveyors of mock repellent?

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

Why did you post it then? :confused:

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

What are you the laughter Police.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

Simply curious why you posted a joke that you didn't find funny.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

Excuse me for interrupting... This thread is far too long and pointless for me to read the whole thing. But as a fully paid up member, I would like to point out that the thingy you posted was in extremely bad taste.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

OK as you not the laughter Police and to satisfy your curiosity.

Let's just say I chose to post as it was topical, thus exercising a little of our hard won freedom of expression...a mere human rights thing after all.

As I said, I never mentioned what my position was/is - whether I was rolling on the floor laughing or otherwise.

Truth be told, I expected the sanctimonious to jump all over it. What you took from it is up to you, or as Yoda said to Luke (movie quotes and all that):

“Luke: What's in there?
Yoda: Only what you take with you.”

Nuff said, right?

PS..not a star wars or trekky fan am I....;)

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

Not funny at all, nothing like Danish cartoons. It's nothing in the American South, even in some provinces like Quebec in Canada.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

This is not directed at el_richo in particular.

What says that all those people who died at Ground Zero were all Cristian? What about the catholics, the jews, the buddhists and so on? I don't think building a church/mosque/tempel is the right thing to do regardless of religion. Instead put up little areas of remembrance/prayers for various religions.

Or none at all.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

As we all know, innocent folks of all types died that day, and of course even though it was an attack on America, not just innocent Americans were murdered.

And, as is often the case the perpetrators killed their fellow Muslims; here is a list with an opening narrative that I do agree with:

"American Muslims bear no collective guilt or blame for the crime of 9/11. We have nothing to apologize for and everything to be proud of, including our loyalty and hard-earned livelihoods. We are not guest citizens, we are not second-rate citizens; we reject marginalization and require no validation. We are equal citizens living and worshipping in our country.

I also agree with YYZ lover on what sort of religious structure should be considered if any is actually constructed.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

I laughed at this.

Re: "Ground Zero" Mosque. Should they or shouldn't they?
 

I laughed at you laughing at that.
