Not that it was "Clever" and promotes freedom of religion. 

Clever because it pisses off the people who were using the same reasoning and rules to piss off other people.

As in... showing them the double edged sword of being insensitive.  Basically turning the issue on it's head and making everyone look like a hypocrit who doesn't take a libretarian view  on both issues.

You almost blew my mind with that post .Almost.

I don't think that the point of the mosque is to insult anybody.

A lot of people would disagree... since they've been offered a bunch of free land in areas not that far away that would be less sensitive to people with PTSD and they've turned down all offers.

It's a popular tactic... espiecally in child raising.

Not one i'm particularly fond of... but it can be effective.

It's like on a TV show when somebody draws a line down the center of a room and forbids the other person to cross it, only to realize that when the same standard is upheld to them, they can't make it to the bathroom.

Or when someone like constantly asks to borrow stuff, then the other person decides to start doing the same and it annoys them etc.

Real big sitcom tactic.

It's not Islam's fault that that terrorist attack took place, so if people are offended by the mosque it's their own bigotry that's the problem.

So... people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are bigots.  You're calling people with a mental disorder caused on by stress bigoted... I think you should look in the mirror on this one in who is acting bigoted.

Example, if a Mcdonalds employee went to a small neighberhood and shot up a bunch of people in it wearing his uniform.  Chances are, that if people who lived through that saw a Mcdonalds they would infact be caused lots of stress and other issues.

Does that make those people bigots?  Because they're "Equating all McDonalds employees as murders!"

I'm going to say... no.  Because they aren't equating all Mc Donalds employees as murders, looking at a Mcdonalds triggers such a reaction.

Now, McDonalds wants to build a McDonalds in this neighberhood and the land they could get is withing view of a place where said victims gather... others, who don't want these victims to go through more generously donate land a few blocks away.

Mc Donalds clearly has the right to still build there and in turn lend to agitating those people... but should they?

Disgusting and pathetic...some random church does stupid shit just to get publicity and in retun it creats hatred and trouble for others, just great.

oh and btw to whoever did not see the videos of people from the church talking about it, they spelled the name Quran wrong, how sad is that?

For anyone who think that we muslims can insult jesus or burn the bible i said that you dont know anything about islam. go read about islam and know where its come from and stop your bullshit.

That depends on how they spelled it to be honest.  Multiple spellings of it are considered correct if you went with a sole spelling you would of just mispelled it as well.  "Qur'an" being the most popular. 

Qur'an, Quran, Koran and Coran are all acceptable spellings.  That tends to happen when something is only known in one alphabet and then is transfered to another.

If they spelled different then that... probably a problem though.   I've seen an extra A thrown in there Quaran often.  Pretty sure that one is just poor spelling though.

I wouldn't equate spelling to intellegence though, many many brilliant and great men couldn't spell or conjugate worth anything.  Teddy Roosevelt comes to mind as a horrible speller.

In fact, he was so bad at spelling he tried to pass a law to make everything spelled phoentically.

Which, I kinda wish would of passed.  Would make more sense and make it easier for foreigners to learn english.  Or actually, just kids too. 

That most asians are genetically better at math is a myth... but that they are better at math isn't... and it's all because their number system is simplier and makes a lot of sense.  No Twelves, or Sixteens, or any of that bullshit.
