| Let's talk about the Mosque on ground zero. I think the mindset here is "OMG TURBAN! TERRORIST! HALPHALPHALP PL0X!" Why would people feel threatened? They have a right to express their religious beliefs and practices. It's not the terrorist's Mosque, it's a Minority's place of worship. It's liek they think they'll bomb the whole city or something! It's liek saying not to let German people go to the European countris who were part of WWII! Thought && opinions? | |

| We have the right to express freedom of religion and right to property, the constitution is the highest law of our country. that's my opinion of it. | |

| Want a reason? People are idiots. For most Americans, the moment anyone different than them puts a feet out of their houses, they give up the right to be left alone, and, as the roaches they are, act trying to impress a bunch of people they`ll never see in their lifetimes thinking that "OMG Im so Pr0, I am racist to a guy I dont even know lolololololololollololololo"... | |

| I am torn on this issue to be honest. I can't decide whether it is right for them to put it down or not, and don't flame me let me tell you both sides of the spectrum so that you are not completely oblivious to the issue.
For those living under a rock there has been a proposal to place a Mosque NEAR the site of Ground Zero, not on Ground Zero. There has been much trouble with this has muslims and supporters of the mosque going down feel that the people against the mosque are stereotyping and being basically douchebags.
The people who disagree with the mosque going down don't want it going near ground zero out of respect of 9/11 and some may just be douchebags who just don't want a mosque going down anywhere.
So that's both sides. To be honest I can see both sides points. It's not like it's on Ground Zero, think about all the underground prostitution joints near ground zero and what not, is a place of worship any better than a prostitution joint? I'd hope so. However the people who disagree just want Ground Zero to not have a mosque near it out of respect, but it wasn't the everyday muslim that participated in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I don't see why they can't simply put the mosque elsewhere, surely muslims and supporters must understand and not be completely ignorant.
It's tough tbh. | |

Neku, they can't just move it now though, they own the land, that'd cost so much to move it.
Ican see both sides too, but one night I was watchign The Daily Show, and the mayor of NYC was on, and he said that even the families (whom he spoke with) of those who died don't mind the Mosque going up. | |

| The Freedom Tower has been planned to be built on the actual ground zero, and to have a memorial for all who died within the building and from the planes themselves. Most of which were not Muslim. Further more, there was never a church (let alone a mosque) in the original Twin Towers, and they want to keep the design similiar to the world trade center: that means no religion inside.
Why no mosque in general? : The people of Manhattan aren't going to get over something like this for awhile, and human nature in general makes you dislike anything that has to do with something tragic. If the terrorists were Polish, nothing Polish would probably ever go around there, due to the fact that it might scare people. Thats why people are against it.
After awhile, it'll get put up anyways because people may actually realize that just because you believe in something doesn't mean your like everyone else. Considering most religion in general is the same besides the ways they practice it, its not that big of a deal. Its just that people in general don't think as open minded as they should anymore, let alone use common sense.
This means they will just have to change things up a bit and deal with it -.- | |

| this is all I want to say about this issue. People are judging all people of the Islam religion cuz of some other people who like to bomb people. If that's the way they look at Islam then they have the right to look at us based off of a few people. It's bias and that's the way most people are | |

Besides, who says that the "bombing" wasn't orchestrated by a bunch of rich white guys, but I don't think getting into that is a good idea. | |

| I think it's ridiculous to punish an entire religion because of a few d-bags who just happened to practice that religion. I mean, lots of awful, terrible acts have been committed in the name of christianity, but that doesn't mean the religion itself is inherently evil. | |

| Well, if the mosque is built, I couldn't be suprised if some idiot american goes and blows it up in "Vengeance".
Let the damned thing be built. In Australia you either learn about CofE or remain ignorantly atheist. | |

| Americans just feel like they're gonna get bombed again. I am not Christian and live in America, and I still can practice my religion, so why cant they? IMO, i just say, LET IT BE BUILT! Honestly, it's a religious worship ground. If you're not going to let them have it, just like take down all the jewish synagogues and all the temples. Not like they're going to plot our destruction in a mosque >.< | |

| honestly , i think it'd make the area safer, cause i know they prolly wouldn't enjoy the idea of blowing up their own church, although as i lost a friend during 9/11, i also strongly understand how some fellow americans could feel that building a mosque NEAR GZ would feel like a slap to the face. Then on the flip side, i understand also how it is not that way. so i say let them build it, if it goes kaboom, then they'll have to decide whether or not they wanna build again.
By the way, there IS something in the rules about religion, and you all should read it (don't worry, the rule will not cause this topic to be closed) | |

| Let's think about this guys; what if, when the 9/11 attacks recently happens, would we still be as open minded as to letting a mosque go down? The answer is more than likely no, as all of America was angry and shocked when that happened. If the mosque was proposed to go down then there'd be a whole sh*t storm. | |

| I think the problem is that we are even connecting the mosque to the attacks, at all! It's just a place of religious worship/community center that just happened to be built a couple blocks from a big disaster. The people building the mosque have no ulterior motives | |
