If the initiative was directed toward the arrival of both interests at a common and mutual relationship of trust and understanding, why would it matter?
I could be wrong but there surely were some Americans who neither took part in, nor condoned that Native American holocaust and more than likely, many
more who felt shame because of their white race because of that holocaust. Why can't you envision their motive as being remedial to the tremendous lack
of understanding between the races?

Personally, I don't think its a bright idea but then again, Moderator cut: language happens, my thoughts not withstanding.

Thank you, Frozenyo. I'll save this quote and pull it out when you bemoan the insensitivity of white America and how at long last we still have no shame for the horrors we perpetrated against of races.

Where does it say it won't cater to Christians or Jews? Where does it say its only for Muslims? Your grasping at straws now, because your argument is destroyed now that it isn't a mosque. But keep complaining about nothing if it makes you feel better.

You better make sure they building any subways near ground zero. Most of those places are owned by Muslims from my experiences. This is getting silly. You seriously want to take away all rights from Muslims because of the actions of a few people? By your logic you would pissed with a Middle Eastern being built near by ground zero. Your funny.

Why do they have to? What does it matter? How do you know they haven't? Have you emailed anyone? Answer all questions before spinning everything into oblivion please.

From this article:



This was already posted in another thread but it seems to be getting ignored so I think it deserves its own thread, because all this complaining about it is so misguided its not even funny.
I don't care what he says!! Show a little sensitivity by building it somewhere else. It's bad enough that we have to let them in this country. If he's telling the truth, then he could make an effort to understand the significance of building the "mosque" in the shadows of the WTCs.

Jefferson and other founders included "Mohammedans" within the embrace of our Constitution.

Funny how the religious US right wants to stomp all over the First Amendment when they are scared.
