I have no problem with them building the Mosque/Cultural Center. I mean, it's not even at Ground Zero, and to not let them, it's infringing upon their right to Freedom of Religion. I find it hypocritical that no one would probably be making a big deal if a Christian Church was being built, but oh no, a Mosque where they were planning on putting up a dedication in the center to the victims of 9-11? With those "Muslim people"...oh no, they're all terrorists! -_-
It's a shame that a select few were responsible for 9-11, but the entire Muslim community (yes, which includes Muslim Americans who also probably lost loved ones in the WTC buildings) and those of true Islamic faith (you know, those peaceful ones) are being demonized so much.
Look at the KKK who would hang and kill those they didn't like "in the name of God" and were church goers and flat out preached the bible (and yet, probably never comprehended a word of it). Those crazy folks that were apart of that doesn't represent the entire Christian population or everyone who practices Christianity. Good Christians shouldn't be demonized because there are some bad eggs in the mix. No group should.
This is how I see that entire mosque thing, and I still don't understand why we haven't tried to get past it yet. Move on, but don't forget it, that type of thing, make a memorial to the victims instead of leaving that eerie place there. I hated walking back and forth past there last year, so I'd take an alt route.
If they do manage to build it, I sense a lot of trouble from idiotic bigots who may riot the place or something.
