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?

It's an issue, because we are human.

During the cold war, the number of Communists in Russia that were deserving of the hatred we projected, was I am sure less then 1%. But Americans hated Russians because they were Russians.

Right now, the image of Islam is bad, because all you hear about it is bad. In the last 10 years, what Terrorist act have you heard of, that was not from a Muslim?

True, 99% of all Muslims are great people, but they need to do a much better job explaining that.

If this guy spending 100 million on this center wanted to do that, he would build 100 centers around the US, and use them to promote piece and the good things about there religion. That would be a much smarter move, then to build this thing. A lot of Muslims agree with this idea.

The only reason I entered this thread, is because when A Muslim says the exact same things I am saying, the reaction to it is 100% different then when I say it.

If you asking for tolerance towards a group of people like you are in this thread, first thing you might want to do, is practice it.
