The MYTH of American Islamophobia

I want to take away your freedom to destroy liberty. That's what We did to the British when we founded this country.

How about we change the players...

Let's say I started a religious sect, and called it "The Christian Nazi Church of God". My church believed that for the US to be under True law, that only Christians could hold office, and no Muslim or Jew should be allowed to step foot into Washington DC. This is this the way, though my Christian god, I wished my country to become.

I found the highest concentration of Jews in the US (somewhere in New York), and I started building my 15 story church, finished with a 100 foot Swastika and Cross on the top.

Would you think everyone who is against this church, is anti-Christian? Would you think not helping there vision of a perfect world be suppression of freedom?

Would you fight for there religious equality?

Your comparing a Cultural Community Centre with a single floor dedicated to a Mosque, to a Racist organisation that promotes hatred and ignorance. Good job. Your impying that the centre being built is only being done to promote something negative, that they are going to somehow take something away from people and cause some sort of irrational disturbance. It's not, it's a community centre open to everyone, the religious portion of this building is a religion that promotes peace and guidance. I'm atheist, but I'm not ignorant of the religions of others, most of the people in this thread are obviously ignorant.

Also, about your earlier post about going to a baseball game and feeling so lovely in a land of tolerance and awesomeness. Every time my dad has to go to he US on business he is stopped in the airport, asked to strip and is searched much more harshly then everyone else. I would have let it slide if it only happened once, but three times is ridiculous. My mum went to Hawaii and LA, she went through a similar ordeal. That's not cool. I'm glad your life in the US has worked out for you, but not everyone's going to share your experience. I've known people that have lost mobility in their arms, had their heads cracked open and have lost sight in one of their eyes, just because they are Muslim. That's in Australia, Australia is also meant to be much more tolerant than the US. I haven't got much choice but to jump to conclusions when I read articles of similar things happening in the US.

 

Not Related to you: How are so many people in this thread not banned? Muslims are like Nazis, Muslims are killers, Islam promotes murder, Islam is a cult, promoting the genocide of Muslims. This is like the third thread with so much hate filled rubbish in it and no one ever get's banned.
