It seems kind of tasteless to build a mosque next to ground zero in the first place. I can't really see any self respecting Muslim wanting to go there.

Why? Muslims weren't responsible for what happened, crazy idiots were. Maybe they want to pay respect to the many Muslims that died that day too.

But Muslims were responsible for the attacks. You cannot say that everyone whose good is part of the faith and everyone whose bad isn't. You have to take both. Most people don't think all Catholic priests are pedophiles but that doesn't mean that the Catholic priests who are, aren't Catholic. They certainly are. You cannot claim all the good without people raising the bad as example in response. To paraphrase David Attenborough, "When people tell me about how beautiful the world is and how thats proof of God's existence I have to think about the worm whose evolved to eat the eyes of animals from the inside out." Or something along those lines.
That is of course not to say that all Muslims are terrorists, but certainly many terrorists are Muslim.

Not really, to be a Muslim or Christian you have to follow all the rules of the religion you can't just pick what you want to follow. I'm pretty sure your not allowed to kill anyone or touch little boys in Christianity or Islam. So that would mean those Priests and murderers aren't Christians or Muslims. It's like someone saying they're non-alcoholic but they still drink anyway. That would mean they aren't non-alcoholic.

That would mean that the vast majority of people that say they're of a relgion aren't. Most Christians don't follow all of the 10 commandsments or any of the more archaic laws of leviticus for example. The same goes for many Muslims I assume. The point is, when someone says they're of a religion then regardless of what you say thats what THEY consider THEMSELVES. There are so many ways to interpret holy books that its not really you're right to not call them what they say they are, because I'm sure from there perspective they wouldn't consider the less agressive members of their faith true members of the faith either. Every single sect thinks they have the correct interpretation and from my perspective I couldn't care less, since all religion relies on faith (eg no good reason to believe the things they do). You can't have the good and say the bad doesn't exist, that'd be like saying the members of the inquisition weren't Christian, they certainly were.

Yeah I guess you're right, they'd still be Christian or Muslim by name even if they don't follow the religion properly.
