Ok for like the 100th time. FOWLLOW^THE^BOUNCING^BALL... No one is saying they dont' have a right to build it there. It's the location... It's not like there are'nt any Mosque in Manhattan. I think most at least I would if it were like 1/2 a mile from groun zero would be fine with it.. Even the govenor of NY offered them land to build somewhere else and he was going to give them the land. Hasn't the thought crossed anybody's mind as far as why this emam want's to build this mosque/community center right there. Why not somewhere else. I mean look if it were radical christians or Jehovah's witnesse's or even Buddhist I would feel the same way.. IMHO i feel that he is trying to provoke people and I think a lot of people are clearly forgetting the tragedy of 911 and how many people are still grieving.. Alsoi I feel that we have been more tolerant than anybody when it comes muslims.
Just look at that highschool in Dearborn where they are having football practice from 1:00 am to 4:00 am to cater to the Muslim players because it's ramadan .Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink during the day for the 30 days of Ramadan. I mean you could look at it like it's a way to hot during the day becuase of record heat in Michigan,but give me a break. You think they would do this for any other religion ? I wouldn't bet on it. If they have then I would love to hear about it.

if it were buddhists christians or jehovas wanting to build we wouldnt be hearing about it. and i doubt itd be controversial . IMHO.

I can't figure out which "mosque" thread we're on these days but I wanted to post this somewhere without starting another thread. I've never posted - or even watched - anything by this guy before, but I think his commentary here is pretty spot on. Worth the 12 minutes to watch.

Can someone who is opposed to the community center in Manhattan please tell me how they feel about this story?

It pisses me off that these people think they can come in here and build... um... swimming pools. I think they just want swimming pools so they can drown Americans.

There was a similar story in the NYT too - people all over the country are trying to stop mosques going up in their towns. The funniest thing (to me, anyway) about the Park51 controversy is that there's already a Muslim prayer room in the exact same building they're planning on turning into a community center. OMG, TERRORISTS ARE ALREADY RIGHT ON TOP OF GROUND ZERO PLANNING THEIR NEXT ATTACK!!!

I saw the other NPR link you posted about labels, and it made me think of a bit the Daily Show did last night showing that as recently as nine months ago even Fox News was in favor of it Park 51. If you didn't see it, I highly recommend it - he takes Glenn Beck's "logic" and "proves" that Fox News is actually a terrorist organization. Brilliant.

I'm still waiting to hear how the mosque protests nationwide jive with the Park 51 opponents' arguments that they still love Muslims...

Okay, so there's a space in the Pentagon which serves as a Muslim place of worship, among other uses. Sounds kind of like the community center you object to, don't ya think?

If you're going to get technical about the word "mosque" in one case, you need to apply your definition to all cases. When you do, the conclusion is that, just as there is no Pentagon mosque, there is also no (proposed) ground zero mosque.

based on your definition of a mosque there is.

scb beat me to it.

so i can assume that we won't see anymore threads from you about the mosque at ground zero. cause now you finally understand it's not a mosque. and it's not at ground zero.

hallelujah.
