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 =/

Last I checked, there are millions of Muslims who's home country, is the US. There are thousands of Muslims that re-enlist in the military on the US side, to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You complain about the media twisting the facts, and yet you fall victim to it all at the same time.

then why is this such an issue? If millions call this place home why are we bitching about this mosque?

Somebody decided it was a fun idea to make this a big screaming deal at some point. Otherwise it would've remained what it once was: just another little zoning intrigue in the city of New York. Now we've got massive overreaction on both sides, given that certain right wing pundits have said some extremely racist things after this was stirred up (the best one was one Mike Williams, who called Allah the "Muslim Monkey God"), and then overreaction from the Democrats going headhunting for racism, since this would be a very convenient way to weed out some tricky Republican challengers

 

Its evolved far beyond anything relating to the original debate, which is why i feel it should be left alone.
