How quickly people forget 9/11. I'll never forget the whole Muslim world celebrating this on TV and in print media. It was a badge of honor and rallying cry. Label me as a "right wing nutjob", you are not building a mosque anywhere around ground zero. You can argue sensibly that this mosque is open to everyone and its a symbol of peace, its bullshit. Its going to be spit in the face of America. Muslims around the world will flock to this mosque to praise at their "greatest accomplishment".

This kind of reaction is what makes muslims think we are afraid of them.
"Greatest accomplishment"
We brought the modern world to it's knees. We created the industrial revolution. Our tech and cutting edge products advance humanity further than it has ever gone. Our medical and warfare are bar none the top in the world. Our average citizens live like GODS.
Let them build their mosque. We are such a great nation, that they will never rival us. Constructing a 100m $ mosque on our land is exactly what makes our country the #1 place in the world. Look at the statue of liberty, "give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free." Construction of the mosque will create jobs and it will keep kids off the street. This is the foundation of american principle.

This is an attitude that causes the split between people. It is basically saying that anyone who is a Muslim isn't an American. It also wrongly assumes that Muslims have come in the later (more recent) stages of immigration. America should unite people and not divide people like what your paragraph suggests. It also goes against your last sentence. Surley America was a nation built from nothing and was a melting pot where people united together despite of different races religions and creeds?

I was using the term muslim in the way only they seem to understand it, as our enemies. Because all muslims are responsible for what extremist religious nut jobs do.

Except that isn't the reason people oppose to the contruction of the building say...Maybe the thick uneducated people.
But thats only the same as those that think it would be appropriate and perfectly safe to build a Abortion clinic next to a Catholic Church.
