you know people keep on forgetting that Muslims died on 9/11 too. and there Muslims firefighters on the scene helping people when the twin towers got knocked down. so Muslims suffered on this day as well.
and like many American Muslims like myself I hated what al qaida did on that day. it disgusts me that they thought what they were doing was an act of greatness.
if Christians and Jews are allowed to build their places of worship near ground zero why aren't Muslims allowed to? just because a couple of whack jobs decided to fly planes into the towers does that mean all Muslims are like that?
We have a right just like any other American to build our places of worship where we like just like other people of faith do.
that's what makes people from all over the world come to this nations because of the religious freedom that is here.
You have left out the fact that many Muslims (some of those very fire fighters) are against the building of this mosque.
As for your statement about a Christian Church I do not see a lot of people going to bat for St. Nicholas Church. It is getting very little coverage. The funny thing about this church is it was already there when it happened.
Most of us know that some Muslims died on 9/11 along with Christians and Jews. To even bring that up to me is irrelevant. The significant number that everyone focuses on is that ALL of the terrorist were MUSLIM. It was also done in the name of the Muslim religion.
How can a small number of criminals claiming to be acting in the name of a certain religion have the power to criminalize the entire religion?
The same thing happens to Christians. However, the Muslims will end up proving us to be fools if they are able to build that "mask" there. Obama has it as a part of His agenda I am pretty sure.
