I know that this has been a touchy subject these days but I would like to know the thoughts and opinions of every one on this subject. Should we let Muslims build a Mosque at ground zero and why or why not?

IBSpify said:No it is not at ground zero, it is indeed about 2 blocks from where the north tower stood, and your correct that it's not actually a mosque it's more a cultural center, which happens to have a prayer floor, calling this a mosque is like calling a hospital which happens to have a chapel a church.
Secondly (or thirdly) they are doing nothing wrong, they purchased a building that had been abandoned for 9 years, suddenly when they announced they are putting a Muslim community center there, people tried to take it to court to have the building named a historical landmark. They call an imam who even the Bush administration called a prime example of moderate Islam, a radical Islamist. The whole thing is absurd, We live in a country that prides itself on our first amendment rights, one of which is the freedom of religion, so provided they have all the proper zoning permits (which they do) there is zero reason why they can not build a community center there.
So to answer the question of "Should we let them build it there?" Yes, because they are doing nothing illegal and it's extremely hypocritical to claim we support freedom of religion and then tell people where they can and can't build because we don't like their religion.

This shouldn't even be an issue. I am stunned that there are so many people who are willing to ignore the defining principles of my country for their own political convictions. Freedom of Religion for all.....except withing a ten block radius of ground zero.
Indeed. I'm becoming a bit weary of his over-enthusiasm. I can almost feel the spittle that passes over his angry, quivering lips spray out my speakers. The guy has become irrational over it.dr_esteban said:Thunderf00ts video on this topic may as well have been made by the BNP.
