Just because one party is being ignorant and intolerant, we as Americans shouldn't throw our values out the window and stoop to their level. We should lead by example and continue to do what is right.

man i really don't know how to aprouch this but here go's?

ok first it wasn't the religion that did it? it was a group of misguided people much like in the chrtistian faith who have been misguided for yr's. i don't want to go to the extremes and compare September 11th to something more or just as sinister. 

it's the inturpitation of religion and the words are always being twisted mostly in religion to justify something and the holy war proves my point so jihad did it not religion.

You did not say what percent of 1.5 billion are terrorists.  Itsalot

they hide in mosques amid the peacful

And you ignore the symbolism of the  towers being replaced by a mosque and the feelings of most americans

its like you don't give a shit as long as you appear tolerant

you can't see that?

I would think differantly if the peaceful majority did not put up with the hateful minority 

perfect example right here folks.

Why close your eyes to things

The catholic church got a free pass when they had a secret pact with the Nazi's

Even though individual priests ended up being hero's

Bad things are done by people

don't ignore it, you have to think about it

No, the % of muslims fitting in with these extreamist groups is no where near a lot of the total Muslim population. The Imam or leader of this new mosque is known to be against these extreamists teachings, so if anything that's the brand of Islam we want to nurture, not attack.

The mosque is not replacing the towers. That's just stupid. Its relatively near the site not on it or even next door and its not going to be a skyscraper. Talk about blowing things out of proportion.

Also, its not that the peaceful majority is putting up with the minority, its that the minority lives in areas where the powers in control agree with them. THerefore there is no possibility of speaking out and fixing the situation. Otherwise they'd be killed. Living conditions in these nations is completely opposite of the freedoms we enjoy in the US. The majority cannot come out and tell the ruler and their religious institution they are wrong.

It's nice to be young an tolerant when you don't have to worry about consequence 

When appearance is more important than reality

What percent

You seem to know

What is a half of 1 percent of 1.5 billion?

Do you know what would happen to my son who is gay,in alot of those countries?

This is fact not fiction

It is firmly help fundamental beliefs they are born with and they bring them to this country also

Personally I think you have a weird idea of muslims in the world. Tell me, what percentage of muslims are terrorists? And then how you came to that figure? And if it came from a news source how did they work that out? It's not like you can go around asking people is it?

It's not to do with worrying about being tolerant. You seem to believe everything you read and are basing your views on hype and scandal that quite simply blows the picture completely out of the water. A good proportion of my friends are muslim, they do not hide in mosques pretending to be peaceful.In fact they're the most peaceful people I know (even though we have disagreements about a range of issues).

And I did cover the sybolism issue... it shouldn't be an issue. It's not replacing the twin towers, it's 2 blocks away. You have a constituition for a reason, but you think "feelings" should dictate when you apply it?
