Haters gonna hate.
I hope that community centre goes up. There are few things as satisfying as seeing a campaign of intimidation fail.

Just curious... how would you feel about a giant evangical church being built right next to an abortion clinic that was burned to the ground?
It had nothing to do with an "campaign of intimidiation." It's a campaign of common sense.
They have the right to build a 15 story community center, but it's a douchebag thing to do. You literally can't miss the new building where the WTC subway is. It'd be the equivlent of building a church right next to like, every abortion clinic every bombed, when you consider the size of it... and the fact that people want to pay their respects there.
As for this event... I would be surprised if this didn't happen every week... and also in churches and synagouges.
I mean drunk people acting dumb and urinating on stuff?

You keep using that example and I see nothing wrong with it. I'm atheist so I'm opposed to a church (or mosque/synagogue) being built anywhere. But unless you can prove that the people building the church bombed the abortion clinic you are just punishing a group of people because they have an association to a couple of extreme criminals.
I honestly don't know why the debate continues to rage because there are no plans to stop the community center from being built and it is privately owned.
It comes down to this simple question: Is it okay for a church or other religious temple to be built 2 blocks away from Ground Zero? If yes, then a mosque is okay too.
OT: Yeah the media is totally blowing things out of proportion and will only cause things to get worse.

And by building it... you are punishing the people who's family died in that clinic because you wanted a church right there.
This has NOTHING to do with legal rights.
It has everythign to do with responsibility.
It's extremely irresponsible and insensitive for them to build the mosque there... and people are upset because of it. Not a big surprise.
They have just as much legal right as any other religion. The point is... it's insensitve.

That's the problem with this country, people are to damn sensitive. Did you know that some people who had family die on 9/11 are for this mosque?

Ever here of the term "exception to the rule."
You can find women who are against women having equal rights. Doesn't lend it anymore credence.
Upsetting people needlessly because a couple other people from the same group is ok with it doesn't make it right.
|
Yeah well these are people who understand the difference between the scum that killed family and friends from the ones the want a mosque. Opinions arelike assholes everyone has one, fact remains that this thing will be built and short of extreme measures it's not gonna be stopped. Life is way to short to be bitching and moaning over something like this, it's being built and people need to deal with it. Some countries don't want out military in their country (japan) but we aren't leaving are we?

So... if something you disagree with iis happening you don't agree with... you should shut up.
Really? That's your opinion.
So... if someone gets on the radio and says something really racist and insulting... since he legally can say it... and nothing can stop him from saying it.... the response should be... nothing at all. No sponsor boycotts... no protests.
Or heck... everyone who protested the war in iraq or said a bad thing about it. They all should of just shut up then, huh? Afterall it was happening anyway.
Genocides, slavery, bigotry, this is all going to happen, so why talk bad about it? Why ever have a contrarian opinion. Whatever is done first must be right.
You can't really mean that.
