Why doesn't America enact laws to make Islam illegal? Then give all muslims 90 days to convert to christianity or pack up and git out of America.
Because it is against the constitution to enact such a law.

No one has said they can't practice their religion and they have done so for many years at that location.

It is about an in your face $100 monument at that particular location. Once and for all it is about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Put it anywhere else and you probably would not have heard a peep.

But then, they knew the reaction they would get when they made the proposal.
No, it's NOT just "Location location location" It's "MUSLIMS at a certain location" If the people building this weren't muslim then you wouldn't have a problem.

Yesterday on the way home from work I tuned in to Sean Hannity, who was talking about this topic, and some of the calls he took made me sick to my stomach. It's little more than bigotry, pure and simple. Go and meet some muslims--not the ones you see on Fox News, the average run of the mill types-- and see for yourself what kind of people they are!

Don't be fooled by the right wing fascists.

I'm just trying to please the real Americans. And laws can be changed.
Amerika is not the place for muslims.

No.....THEY ARE BEING INTOLERANT OF THE FEELINGS OF THOUSANDS WHO LOST LOVED ONES THERE!

AGAIN....since you guys seem to ignore this!! NO ONE IS SAYING DON'T BUILD YOUR FRIKKIN' MOSQUE! JUST NOT THERE!!
The answer to Muslim intorance is NOT American intolerance. Especially when it violates the Constitutional right to freedom of religion.

As I've said before a conservative will NEVER let the facts get in the way of their opinions.

As much as I agree with you on the subject of this thread, I must take issue with this distortion of historical fact. I don't pretend that Israel's hands are entirely clean, but you appear to have an oversimplified understanding of the facts. I don't want to hijack this thread with a full-on rebuttal, so I'll just direct you here for a more balanced historical record.

How about how women are second class citizen there? Or how intolerant they are of people with different religions? Do you know what you call a man or woman in a muslim country who leaves islam and converts to christianity? You call them dead because that is a crime and it is punished by death. No you are blind but your liberal views and thinking. ISLAM WAS THE REASON WHY THE WTC WAS DESTORYED. THOSE PEOPLE WHO DESTORYED THE WTC WERE PRACTICING MUSLIMS.
The people that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City were Christians. By your logic there shouldn't any churches anywhere near downtown Oklahoma City.

OHHHH, I see it's a conservative thing. Apparantly the age of thought and reason has died.

It wasn't Christians or Jews who attacked us so please stop with that Islamic spin doctoring. Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists mostly build monuments to mourn and mark where something tragic happened. It's the Muslims who build monuments to mark a victory. Ground Zero is the biggest victory in centuries for them.

We are talking about a people who still hold all European Christians responsible for the crusades 1000 years ago!!! How do you reason with a hate that can only be repaid with every Christian on earth being slaughtered? And anyone that's left must bend to Allah or be slaughtered.

The bottom line is they have every right to build their Mosque anywhere they want. Is it right for them to do so? Every Muslim leader I've heard from who isnt in the pocket of hezbollah (yes little h) says they believe its the absolute wrong thing to do.

It makes you sick... I guess the reality of these extreme Muslims wanting us dead makes you happy then. We are simply infidels in their eyes? What happens to infidels in the Kuran? Where do you think this guy is getting his $100m to build this thing anyway? Not from the American Muslims, he has to go abroad to raise the funds. This instantly tells me he'll be getting some of the mad money floating around and earmarked for terror. I'm sure I've sickened you so I'll stop now.
