Why don't we put a church up in Kabul in honor of our fallen soldiers and see how that goes over. I guarantee the Muslims would never allow that to happen, so why should we put a mosque up at ground zero? Think about it America. Everyone is brainwashed by the liberal media into not hurting Anyone's feelings, well what about the feelings of the survivors of 9/11? Don't they deserve to not be hurt as well?

LOL @ comparing America to Kabul. You may have missed the point of living in this country.

Yeah, the fact that we're more tolerant than the Taliban is a good thing, not a bad thing. I can't wait until the people trying to stop this get laughed out of the courtroom.

The N is implied. And yes, it's an idiot's line of reasoning because you're saying "Well we can do A because they would do B." Allowing for your characterization of them to justify your own actions. Down that road lies madness.

Who gives a shit? And more importantly, why should they? I guess people should avoid building churches in Europe since someone who was a Christian once killed a bunch of people there?

Here was from when I first heard this news. I hated the idea that they would build a mosque at ground zero until I found out it was only a small part of the Freedom Tower construction.

I'm going to put on an adult hat and talk down to you for a second. Just know, I'm an idiot young man myself.
I can understand how you're angry about it. Muslims destroy our symbols for economic success and we bend over backwards to say, "Alright, guys! Don't you dare hate us anymore. Look we'll build you a mosque - right at Ground Zero." But from what little you've shared of your belief, the reasons for your anger are bunk. It's anger for anger's sake, someone lit your fuse and you're fully ready to blow.
I freely admit I haven't seen the designs, I'm not in the planning meetings but what I understand to be the case is this: The mosque is a small part of what they have planned for ground zero. A little offering to the Muslim community, those non-aggressive American Muslims who have suffered for the deep ire of a wounded America. An administrative admission that America, the melting pot, is fully diverse and is acknowledging it.
If you want to be angry about it, be angry because you know we can do better; be angry because there's a mosque two streets thataway; be angry because you yourself know what is being done is wrong. But don't bring this, "It's like they're just waving their asses in our face and we're asking politely to kiss 'em."-crap.
I was angry at first too until I recognized my anger for what it was, and spoon has the best approach. There's too much BS in the world, this Ground Zero Mosque debate is being coated in just more BS and my best BS-defense is who gives a shit?

Unless they call it Osama Bin Laden Mosque then why is it even relevant to the 9/11 attacks?

Opposition to ground zero mosque goes viral - The Globe and Mail
...Ms. Jones, who was taking pictures of the building for her family back in California and wearing a T-shirt displaying the Twin Towers. “I don’t want to sound unbalanced or fanatical,” she said. “Anywhere within a one- or two-mile radius of ground zero is not appropriate.”

Religion didn't do 9/11.
If you want to actually protest the cause, how about you protest wealth inequality. Without that, not only would ME extremism not have reason to fight, but they wouldn't even be able to recruit and brainwash the young boys who strap bombs on themselves
Religion sucks butthole, but its not even remotely close to as evil as economic distribution favoring the special

Where the hell does this kind of ignorance come from? Islam as a whole didn't attack us. A group of radicals that don't even understand their own religion attacked us. It is their intent to destroy our way of life. Freedom of religion is a basis for our way of life and to make exceptions dissolves our freedom and allows our enemies to beat us. The fact that this thread even exists shows that they are indeed winning.

The freedom of religion thing cuts both ways, as well. What I mean is that this Ground Zero Mosque thing is getting all the play not because of the terrorism thing, but because of xtian fundies who think this is one nation under god. The terrorism is merely the facade
If you're whining about about one religion, you're likely falling into the hands of another religion.

I got bored reading your examples of other bullshit, but they all seemed to share the theme of putting up monuments to wrong-doers. There's not a big statue of osama bin laden going up, and the fact that you're tarring every singly muslim with the terrorism brush is so lol

I guess I should explain myself, so all of the liberals in this thread don't shit on my face all at once.
I hope they are unsuccessful in building their mosque. Not because of anything having to do with 9/11, but because I simply hate religion, and as far as religions go, nothing has served to poison world society at large and set an entire continent's culture back a thousand years like Islam.
It also seems to be in poor taste to me to build this mosque here. Its kinda like when you get on an airplane and and a persian dude is on there wearing a turban, and its like "come on man, I know you have the right to do that and all, but can you just not do that please?" Like, I'm glad that we live in a country where someone can still wear a turban on an airplane without being detained and anally searched, but I still think its pretty tasteless of that individual to do that.

So I guess I should say I'll be happy either way this turns out. Either they won't be able to and I'll revel in my hatred of religion, or they will and I'll be glad I live in a free country.

Hey you don't know he wasn't anally searched!
I agree with your general sentiment but think it's worth it just because it pisses off people like OP. Totally game for canceling all religion and starting a new one based on Haagen Daaz ice cream bars

I agree, but I'm willing to tolerate them. There are better battles to be had than disallowing this mosque - like taxing 'em.

You're kind of expecting the world from normal people. If we could be moved to so easily act, you'd see great populations acting in unison more frequently than just populace protests in France and Greece.
I suspect they'll all do what they always do, look to their religious leaders and wait to be told that they must act against other Muslims. An unlikely happening in a world where they see Westerners killing innocent, peaceful Muslim families in the name of oil or evil, take their pick.
