Looks like the mob won this one. Congrats, guys. With only a 100-to-1 advantage, you've managed to hound a religious minority out of their property. Are you proud?

Maybe somewhere in all this there is a hidden story: Like, maybe it's time to heal all the wounds and dry up all the tears. Our nation is made up of so many types of people and beliefs that maybe the Creator is say, "Quiet my children and come together as one, show the world how strong you really are".

Good, if they are about promoting peace they'll build elsewhere.

Don't worry. This minority will make sure we pay the price for the "appeasement".

Because this isn't about the location of the Muslim community center. It's about the bigotry of the so called "moral majority".

If they do indeed do this and just chose a further location then I applaud them for doing the right thing. That is how bridges are built

Very proud. They have the right to build elsewhere and will do so.

I had a fear that someone would just fly a plane into the side of it if it were built and cause more anger. This is best for everyone.

You get more bees with honey than vinegar.

But why would you want the bees, in this case?

The people who disagree with this community center by and large are NEVER going to find any good in Islam. They've never tried.
