| superchunk said: Article is self defeating. 1. Even after the total number decreased it was still over 4 times higher than pre2001, shown some increase in at least reported incidents. 2. Of the 3000 people murdered on 9/11, a great number of them were Muslim as well. 3. The 'controversial' Mosque is closer to an existing Mosque than Ground Zero and you can't even see it from Ground Zero. 4. This is raised in US because we are the US and must hold ourselves to higher levels and standards than any other nation, especially those Muslim nations you all like to use for comparison so much. 5. No one says America is a land of intolerance, just that it seems the right-wing is becoming more and more radical, which is scary as that path leads to the same extreamism we denounce daily. 6. Author's name is 'Goldberg' (Jewish).... ok j/k on that one, just thought it was funny, ya know whole Isreali/Jewish issue with Palestinian/Arab/Muslim etc... ok joke has past. |
3) The existing community centre isn't... 15 stories tall. The old one is like... 2 stories tall.
The current community centre WILL be visible from ground zero... look it up on google maps and the buildings between it... there is one building between it and it's a wide 2 story building.
