Proposed Mosque Near Ground Zero

[Jude]

Hmmmmm, Baptist extremists can be fairly daunting too, ya' know.

The little cosmic joke is that Islam and Judaism are fundamentally the same Abrahamic faith. The only real differences are that Muslims acknowledge Jesus (Issa) as a prophet and messiah (not the son of G/d) and consider, of course, Prophet Muhammed as a genuine prophet. Basically the same laws govern both faiths and neither faith gives more rights to women than another. Christianity, of course, is also an Abrahamic faith at its core and women are admonished to "keep silent in the church". So, in which faith (as it is generally practiced) does a woman stand the best chance? Probably the answer would be none of the above.

Nonetheless, we must respect the right of people to make their own choices as to their beliefs and interpretation, so long as they don't directly affect our own right to liberty.

If one chooses to bow down to Humpty Dumpty and their life is more meaningful having done so, G/d bless 'em. Just don't force me to follow suit.
