So the entire Muslim community needs to pay for what ten extremists did? I see absolutely no reason why the Mosque should not be built in a community center a few blocks away from where some pissed off idiots did something stupid. 

Should the entire Catholic religion pay for a few priests fucking some kids? No, but they do.

I think what the Muslim community really should do, is not walk on egg shells at all. They should stand up and speak out very heavily against what these extremists have done.

Some have, but most don't. They should fight very loudly on the side of America in this situation. Maybe that's not there nature, I don't know, but there PR up to this point, has sucked.

How do those few priests have any impact on the Catholics in America? (I'm actually curious).

The thing is that Muslims shouldn't have to do anything at all and even when they do speak out, who's there to listen? You should know by now that controversy makes headlines, plenty of Muslims are against what the extremist have done, but they don't get any air time because it's not interesting. I'd also like to point out that it's been 9 years since 9/11, how much longer do Muslims have to hide away? This whole situation isn't about the location of the Cultural Centre, it's just another way for Americans to vent their bigotry.

Fighting on America's side has got to be pretty hard, when their home countries are being invaded and thousands of people are dying in the middle east =/
