Mosque near Ground Zero

Well, Basically, there have been plans to build a Mosque, right next to Ground Zero, where the terrible 9/11 incident happened.

It's not just a mosque though, it's a community cultural center.

After many votes, the plan has taken another step forward.


What do you think should happen?
No mosque? why?
Let the project continue?

If you want more info, just simply google search it.

 

Why not?

I see no problem building a Mosque near Ground Zero, If people do, I presume, it'll be because, most likely, the reason i've broken down below;

"What?! Muslims having a mosque right next to Ground Zero?, thats despicable, terrorist bastards!".

^Anyone with that thought of view are narrow-minded, media-controlled, stereotypical idiots, Al Qaeda are an EXTREMIST group, they are freedom-fighters, Once they commit these atrocity's and offences, they're immediately unrecognised by their religionist leaders and community. Just because they were muslims, doesnt make all muslims terrorists. If Christians had done it, would everyone single out christians, deny the ability to build a church near ground zero and class every single one as a terrorist? No, ofcourse they wouldn't, nor should you against Muslims.

 

I don't see any problems with it, and what exactly is a community cultural center?

 

I think they should continue out their project. It reflects the idea that not all Americans are prejudice, "Islam-hating" people. It'll show to all the skeptics around the world that despite what the Islamic radicals did on 9/11, that they still respect the Islamic faith. If this news gets to some of the locals in Afghanistan and Pakistan, more and more of the civilians will start to cooperate with the American and NATO forces.

 

Or is this another trick America is doing so that the people of Afghanistan will let them walk around their country and take their oil?<---- Possibility, if you think Bush was behind 9/11 and all of this is for the oil.

 

I had overlooked that part, good thinking :')

 

There's no problem with building a mosque next to ground zero.

It's perfectly fine, jihad means a fight in arabic, it's not an extremist group, the media just wants you to think that.

The faggots who are narrow-minded think that islam is a terrorist religion, when it's not.

So they should continue.

I'll just leave it at this:

"If you won't mix-up Christianity with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), then don't mix terrorists with Islam!"

What oil in Afghanistan? It's a mountainous terrain with farming as its main source of income. There is practically nothing America can get from Afghanistan that is beneficiary to the country. They're basically there to take out the Taliban and Al-Queda in which they're wasting their time. The people of Afghanistan and Pakistan were born to fight and will die fighting. They're not scared of death and America needs to realize that.

My mistake, they're just using Afghanistan to get to the rest of the middle east.And that statement of "The people of Afghanistan and Pakistan were born to fight" is pretty dumb IMO. Just because they're troubled countries doesn't mean they "are born to fight". There are much worse places than those two and they're not "born to fight", no one is.

 

You took the words out off my mouth. This is the truth people.

 

The only rational response so far.


Not all muslims are terrorists, people need to be less ignorant.

 

True say, Ground Zero having faithful Muslims MIGHT give Americans the Good side of Islam (not the , Blow Everything up side)

 

Stop being ignorant, theres No two sides of Islam, Islam is a religion, The terrorists are disowned by their religion as soon as they commit terrorist crimes.

 

People have the right to express themselves. Even in religious terms, etc.

 

I could see how building a Mosque in close proximity to Ground Zero could be disrespectful. The US doesn't build churches on top of places they bomb. On the other hand if it's a cultural center where a variety of aspects of differing religion are displayed I personally don't have a problem with it.

 

No, the United States does not, but the Christians do. Also, US Missionary-workers find themselves there, too, so that they can save the "sinners".

 

youd have to be an idiot to have a problem with that

 

I don't think it's a big deal. You can't have the prejudice against an entire religion for what an organization did. One could say it's an initiative to move forward while others could say it's a stupid idea. But in the reality, the number of those terrorist extremists is a small proportion of a macro-religion.

 

I could be wrong, but...

Among the terrorist acts,
don't they usually happen to mosques?

I'm sure that 90% of the terrorism-related articles I have read had something to do with a mosque being bombed.

Would this just increase its chance of being attacked?

 

A state is not a religion, and plenty of missionaries rush off to warzones to build churches...

Maybe this could help to end the effective segregation of muslims in so-called liberal western democracies, which no doubt has an effect on radicalising young people.
