Especially the part about a camel, a needle, a rich man and heaven.

Yes, that one gets overlooked a lot. Easier for a camel to pass through th eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven.

Of course, the "eye of a needle" did mean something different then, so not quite so lidicrous, and there is always some argument over literal interpretation vs metaphore etc, and none of this has anything to do with the (not a) mosque (two blocks and a bit from being) at ground zero anyway.


Im sure the koran burning nutter will be sucessful in stopping them building a mosque at ground zero, as it never was a mosque, and never was going to be at ground zero in the first place

Marginally better, now that you have converted it to proper English. The name, however, remains wank.

I like your impassioned denial. But you're wrong. You might not be Roman catholic but if you're a Christian of a major church then you're a catholic.

If you're praying to be rescued from a coal shaft in Chile, you're a miner Catholic!

Actually I read somewhere that what it is intended to be built is a big interfaith center representing the 3 main religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam...

I do not know if this is true!

It is also not a traditional mosque, but more of an education and study centre - something I think people need.



What have we learnt folks? Never trust the media - verify the facts for yourself!
Exactly....

I saw in the Daily Show of John Stewart the map and it reflects what you said...The site is far from Ground Zero..
