Why is it wrong for Muslims to build a community center so close to Ground Zero?

You do realize many Muslims were killed during that attack. I don't understand why it's not ok ?

Who is it going to hurt? scare? Insult?

Thank You. If a so called christian based faith wanted to do the same, (oh wait..they have their churches...) would we be having this discussion? would it cause such an uproar? I doubt it. Thanks for your logic, truth, fairness and open mindedness.

Islamophobia

there is no other viable reason than this to even give it a second thought.

do you know that something like 48% of the people here who disapprove of President Obama believe he is a Muslim?

are we really as a society dumbing it down to the point that we let the wave of fear mongering sweep us along the tide of racism and hatred whilst the government laughs at us and quietly strips away our civil liberties one by one?

to *me* a patriot act would be putting a Mosque directly ON Ground Zero instead of a community center blocks away. but then again i am not down with the fact the the SCOTUS just ruled that the government can put GPS tracking devices on our vehicles while they are on the private property of our own driveways so they can track and follow us without a warrant.

not too many people noticed this ruling because we are all busy worrying about a Mosque that isn't a Mosque being opened on a Ground Zero that isn't Ground Zero.

For fucks sake.

by FA: "...'It would bring people together rather than seperate them'.

who exactly is doing the seperating?? the Muslims?? or the the hating and the fear mongering crowd ?? So much for tolerance and acceptance.
The TRUTH may be a bitter pill for some to swallow, but it's still way better than the alternative.

Wow. I don't even need to finish that article to know that the entire thing is not based on fact, but rather on fear and hatred.

"The proposed mosque near to ground zero is not really a religious institution. It would be — as many mosques throughout the nation are — a terrorist recruitment, indoctrination and training center."

How can you possibly believe that the above quote is true?

"But there are non-Sharia mosques where peaceful and spiritual Muslims worship God in their own way without promoting violence. A soon-to-be published study funded by Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy, found that 20% of the mosques in the United States have no taint of Sharia and simply promote peaceful worship."

1 - Anybody can make a study to prove anything that they want. I'm sure you could also find studies that have the exact opposite results.

2 - Frank Gaffney is not a sane, responsible, or unbiased voice. If you do some research on him you'll find that he's got a very clear hate-on bias against Muslims. It's personal for him. I do not trust anything he says on the subject, or anything said by any organisation that he is a part of. The man has no credibility as far as this issue is concerned.

3 - At least the truth has come out. I'm glad that you have admitted (in a roundabout way) that your true issue is not about "bringing people together v dividing people" and rather about "scary Muslims". Thanks, I always like to know who I'm dealing with.

I find it gross that you act like you are all about a place where everyone should come and worship, when it's obvious you have bought into the whole scary Muslim people are gathering and building terrorist training camps.

It's just gross.
