Every mosque and synagogue has both a "sanctuary" and offices and rooms for meetings and community events. I'd suspect that virtually every church that's been constructed in the past 50 years likely also provides space for church business and members and guests to hold gatherings. That's part of the function of a religious institution -- a place for the community to gather. There is no such thing as a Muslim Community Center that would not offer prayer space.
Twenty percent of American republicans believe that Obama is a closet Muslim and was born in Kenya. Far more Americans believe that the perpetrators of 911 were caught and are all Muslims and nobody else had any involvement whatsoever. Perhaps in the lives of our grandchildren there will be an authentic investigation.
The investigation of 911 was conducted a lot like the Israeli investigation of the murders of 9 civil rights workers on the flotilla from Turkey attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Imagine - Israel investigated itself. (Becha they come up innocent, ech?).
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Shihks and atheists were all killed in 911.
Three thousand people died. Look how many people we have massacred in Iraq and Afghanistan since 911. I guess american lives are infinitly more valuable than those of backwards Arabs who don't know enough to appreciate our invastion.
Much of the fucking world should be sacred ground dedicated to the hapless innocent lives lost at the hands of aggressors.
Sad state of affairs that we just never learn from history. We go on repeating the same sickening errors time and time again ad nauseum.
I wonder how one can come to live a sacred life in this world.
