Blocking a community center because it happens to service a group of people that some Americans dislike is doing FAR more to destroy the fabric of this country. Then again, maybe that is a part of the fabric of this country. That's not something to be proud of.

I hope that by the time I have children, a lot of these bigoted bozos will have died out so they can live in a changed America that they can be proud of without reservation.

And it is a mosque.

As Leonard Peikoff said (What do you think of the plan for a mosque in New York City near Ground Zero? Isn’t it private property and therefore protected by individual rights? - Peikoff), property rights exist in a context, and when someone is at war with you (Islam, and Iran) you have no obligation to “respect” their rights and every moral right to eliminate them as a threat.

This mosque is only the beginning. The Muslims killed many people in the Crusades during the Middle Ages. Now they are trying to begin a new Crusade into America.

Why does it matter to you that my profile is private?

Islam isn't at war with us.

Those who follow RADICAL islam are at "war" with us.

Those who continue to spread these lies will be called on it.

Can we go to war against all of Christianity because of what the followers of the Westboro Baptist church does?

So I guess the Americans, Canadians, Argentines, Egyptians, Tunisians, Israelis, Jordanians, Turks, Indonesians, Australians, British, Bangladeshi, Indian, etc etc who are Muslim and plan to make use of the community center are just collateral damage, eh?

Such ignorance.

And I hope to be able to brag about it after all is said and done. The crazy zombies ought to be put in place. The mosque/community center must be built. If the zombies lose, America would win.

Also, nice that you didn't address the fact that there are other muslicm run businesses in the area, and much closer to Ground Zero.. yet none of you are demanding them to move.
