Their are 30 Mosques in NYC, it's not like they are meeting in an abandoned subway car underground

They worship freely without worry that the religious icons they hold dear will end up in a jar of piss as art

Maybe superchunk should scold some people on the dangers of catholicphobia 

So because there are other places already, nothing new should ever be built? They should be lucky they have anything?

I don't agree with any irrational fears of any group. I don't consider Catholics pedophiles or Christians gay hatin' abortian clinic destroyers. That's just insane and stupid.

What I do is not tolerate ignorance. So many people have created this labelling of Islam that is so far from what is taught in the Quran its just sickening, and I'm not just referring to the crazies in right-wing media. I'm also referring to the crazies in control of nearly every country in the Middle East. If I could I would force the elimination of all Hadith literature being used as a ruleset to begin with as it is 100% against Quranic laws.

fucking hypocritical

Your irrational hate and liberal superiority is funny  

If it is so cut and dry, go and carry a big picture of the Mohammad on a main street in NYC and then drop a cross in a bottle of piss and do the same and see which religious group assumes u room temperature 

I don't really want you to because i like you and don't want to see you dead

What's hypocritical? right-wing media like fox has continuously ran incorrect stories about Islam with quotes exactly like that which are found in this thread. Right-wing media is want kicked off this controversy with the Mosque with half-truths and idiocy. Sure, the rest picked it up and ran with it as well, but that doesn't take away from the most vocal and biased sources there are.

I wouldn't do either one of those two actions as the pissing on a cross is simply offensive and promoting a pic of Muhammad in any way is offensive to some (not me as I don't think God or Muhammad cares as I'm not worshiping the pic).

Furthermore, there have been pics of Muhammad that did not cause an uproar because they were not degrading. Such as the first time South Park did its super friends show as well as one other one. Of course post Sweden ish, that was censored by comedy central, but that is silly as it wasn't even offensive.

There are even paintings of Muhammad made by Muslims that date back hundreds of years, again not offensive as its not degrading or used for worship.
