im surprised there are no replies to this yet
I stopped watching when the guy said the mosque was being built "a few yards" from ground zero. It is being built more than two blocks away.
Ah, there is a vacant lot?
Well, this reminds me of some nut who yelled at japanese tourists for visiting Pearl Harbor. Now if the people comissioning that mosque are fundamentalist nutjobs, I'm not too comfortable with the whole thing. If the folks building and using it are good citizens/visitors that have no hostile intentions, I am for it.
If the comissioners are decent people, it would be an even bigger FU to the folks who attacked the WTC. I like the irony of us being able to have a mosque there proving that we're able to rise above that stupid jihad nonsense they are hoping to have with us and have peaceful and constructive dealings with muslims in the very place they were hoping to end that.
In my area, mosques have been raided for supporting Cair and it's true that they were. There is an even larger number of muslims who denounce all of that and want to take part in what we have going here. That is what those jerks are attacking us for. The fact that some of their own people see that we can give them a better life and they are going for it.
They are scared. They know that one day, they won't be able to keep education from their people and they'll stand up and say "You know what? We can be muslims without killing people who don't agree with you." Those clerics' reign is over as information becomes exchanged more freely.
the person in this video would say that you are decieved. and actually, it would apear that you missed the point.
They do have the right to do it, thats for sure. But is it right to do it? I mean, honestly theres gonna be some violence. In my opinion, this is up to the people of NY and the families of the deceased.
If so the violence had damn sure better not be perpetrated by non-terrorists and if so, I hope the city throws the book at them. This BS is never going to end if we keep acting like children.
If it is not right to do it, is it right for white people to own cotton plantations in the South? How about for Japanese people to own businesses in Pearl Harbor? Is it right for white people to live throughout many of the states where the tribes have had their lands taken? Seriously?
Yeah, it's asking for America to heal and show that we're above that.
Who cares if you did? If your logo was a pig with a turban, that would be tacky, but whatever. You still didn't answer my question about the Japanese businesses in Pearl Harbor.
UPDATE: Actually, it is a slap in the face to them if we become a bunch of scared little weenies and fear people because of their religion.
I understand your point perfectly, I just think that there isnt enough hard evidence to justify your fears.
1. Not everyone who practices that religon is a terrorist.
2. The difference between a business and a church is that one of them pays taxes. I could point out the similarities, but that would be an entirely different discussion.
The Germans keep the history of the holocaust alive as a lesson. Is it so far out of the realm of possibility that these shadow people you say are raining money on this project might see it as a lesson about what happens when religious extremism goes too far? Nah, other cultures couldn't possibly be that rational. They are all out to crap all over everything we do. I bet they will draw the shades when Freedom Tower is finished.
BTW, did you find any Japanese business in Pearl Harbor at the time that the US and Japan were at war?
Nope, we were too busy rounding up everyone who looked remotely asian and putting them in detention camps in CA until the war was over. Should we be doing that now?
If they want to send that money to this country so that their mosque will have a nice view of the larger and more impressive facility that we're going to put there, it's fine by me. It is even better for those who have perished as that dominating monument will be right in front of them every day showing that they couldn't keep us down. If they want a front row seat to that, I'm good with it. I only wish it were between the mosque and mecca so that they would have to face it everytime they pray.
Well I hope Im wrong about them and your right. BTW, we didn't put all Japanese in detention camps, just the ones we suspected as a threat.
