I mean come on FA why can't this Community Center be built near Ground Zero?

Would it be better had it been a Christian church? Why can't the citizens MUSLIM citizens of New York have a place to go, I am confused can you explain why you think this is not ok?

Thanks in advance

I did not state that Muslims can't build their community center near Ground Zero. Or that the space would be better if it was a Christian church. I never said it was not ok. In my opinion I stated I felt that space would be *better used as a place for *all faiths and religions* to be able to go to* pay tribute being so close to Ground Zero. And if it was a Christian space available or any other religion I would feel the same way.
I hold nothing personal against Musilims or any other religion Lady Snow. Or do I think any religion is better than any other one.
I hope I clarified my thoughts better this time.

Why though?

Why can't Muslim's have this place to go to? Why can't there be a Community Center built so close?

What is your reasoning?

Truly curious, thanks in advance

As I stated to Toughy. I chose a poor word choice. I surely am not the only one on this site to do that. I own up to my mistakes. That is the best I can do.
I feel any religion that has access to building a community center and a prayer room so close to Ground Zero would be really compassionate to share that space with other faiths.
Unless a strip joint or liquor store would be willing to sell their business to offer a space nearby as well. Which is not going to happen.

Why is it so scary for Muslims to build a community center? Why is it disrespecful?

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.
