I think its a great idea to build a Mosque near ground zero. I am certain in the thousands of people who died some of the people were Muslim and lets face facts we need to unify this country under the idea that we tolerate and accept the beliefs and way of life of others. Isn't that what America is supposed to be?

Wasn't America supposed to be an big supporter of freedom of speech but showed the world it is throwing it away? (Aka South Park episode) tolerance should come frome both sides not one;..otherwise you get situations like in Europe where people get beating, killed simply for giving some critic against the islam..;.

Just because one party is being ignorant and intolerant, we as Americans shouldn't throw our values out the window and stoop to their level. We should lead by example and continue to do what is right.

i couldn't have said it better if i said it myself

I agree with what he said. What's right, is to allow them to build it, and then bitch about it as loud as we can, if we don't like it.

2.I for one don't care if it's built or not. But calling the millions of people who care somehow un-american for speaking there minds, is crazy.

3.No one, on either side, has said they should not have a right to build it. Some people just think it's a really stupid thing to do.

The point of America, is to have a lot of different views about things. If your looking for a country where everyone has to agree on something, you need to look elsewhere.

last sentence not needed. i read your post aswell(all of them)and i am agreeable to them which i didn't think would be possible, but none like some i give you credit for your veiws and post. i may not completly agree with you but the fact that we agree on the constitution and alittle less on how we personaly fill about it we've found commen ground.

it maynot be the sane thing to do which i definatly don't think it is, but it can be done which we agree on. 

2. i don't care either as long as the law is being followed
3. you're right from what i can tell, nobody said they don't have the right to build (somebody did say they shouldn't, but thats not debatable). i think it's stupid to, but i can live with it!
