"Ground Zero Mosque", Idiotic debate Options

Anyone else think this whole debate is as asinine as I do? It isn't at Ground Zero and it isn't a Mosque.

yeh this particular issue is pretty silly.

However i think americans (and the rest of the world) need to generate some opposition to what is essentially a culture of religious bullying that has become dangerously hypocritrical. Anyway as always, Hitch says it best:

Okay, I cheated and watched the video all the way through, so I know that's what he means. He says that lots of the nasty shit that has gone down in the past few millennia can be traced to 1 book and its 3 editions.

The video was made in 2006, so he is not at all addressing the current issue. Still valid though.

And you can add most of the other religions as well. Anyone check out Hinduism lately.
