| TheRealMafoo said: 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. |
In the Christian faith, when you plant a Church, as a pastor you should stay with it until it grows and becomes a living breathing part of the community. This way it actually becomes something, rather than a Church with no leadership. To open up 100 churches instead of one close knit church is asking for trouble. So instead of this specific Muslim opening up his Mosque, and growing it the way he wants too, he should rather open a hundred around the world to promote his religion?
I just don't see your point at all. What if instead of that, he did what every American has the right to do?
