"Ground Zero Mosque", Idiotic debate Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

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

Americans...

I maintain that there is no way to oppose this without condemning all of Islam as a result of the actions of few.

Itchy, I don't think anyone is trying to dismiss what happened to families on that day. The point is that there were Muslim families ripped apart as well. Just because the men who led the attacks were Muslims does not mean that they had the support of all Muslims, not at all! The whole religion should not be held accountable by the actions of its extremists.

I agree with those who have said that the idea of building there was somewhat foolish. I could have told them that Americans weren't ready to separate Muslim and terrorist. That said, they are doing it and the constitution allows it. Religious freedom has been shit on enough lately (see: the cross and the Buddhist shrine in the national park supreme court ruling) and it is time for that to stop.

As for the whores, that is a reference to the "Ground Zero Strip Club" which resides just as far from the site as this community center would.
