Ground Zero Mosque. Yes or No?

[harg]

Hey!,Hey! Obama stop this stupid drama! WTF is going on?! It is perfectly fine to make this mousqe! Muslims have each right other people do! They may build the mousqe anywhere on THEIR property!
If the US did not want a mousqe there ,why did they sell the deed for that location!?

Cause every single living being in the USA with power hates Islam.

It's the way of life for me, and hundreds of thousands of others.

Should Catholics be allowed to build churches two blocks away from a school?

There are more news about Barack Obama from any websites. Everyone talking about he is Muslim?

Eh?

That doesn't really relate to anything...

I just think that Barack Obama has the balls to actually think rationally. Unlike the rest of America.

That's just what the government wants you to think. That's how they get you to scrutinize the government less.

On Topic: I would like to change my vote. I voted no purely because it is insensitive to proceed to build it. I would like to vote yes now because... Isn't that what The United States is all about? Freedom to practice anything you want? I may not like it, but this is why The United States was founded in the first place. Sure, it isn't the same thing as what the King of England (can't be arsed to look it up.) did to the colonies, but its on the same plane.

All I'M talking about is the religious factor. I don't give a shit about politics.

Also, what's wrong with having a muslim president anyway? I know he isn't, but why is it a bad thing?

Why do Americans have to put down Muslims so much?

Why is anything persecuted anywhere? Because something caused a problem which is associated with a certain way of thinking or ideology. Thus allowing persecution. Then again, not all Americans persecute Muslims.

Just build a church there. It would perfectly symbolize the big ball of hypocrisy the US has become.

I'm getting sick of everything being politicized and massively over-analyzed these days. What's the point of living in a country that brags about being the world's big bad super-power, yet is so scared of any minuscule thing that it openly infringes upon the rights of its citizens?

Yeah, I guess I just had a sad.

Summation:
1) It's not at Ground Zero
2) It's not a mosque
3) You can't simultaneously acknowledge a right and insist that your government suppress it

In some ways I do understand the "no" point of view.
But at the same time, I think it's a bit racist to be saying no.
It's not like all Muslims wanted that to happen.
This is a pretty good demonstration of the subtle racism in America.
Let them build it.
Would we be offended if there were Churches built at the sites of the Crusades?
(Well... there were Churches built there...)
But wutever.
Iunno my point.
The thing is, I shouldn't have to have a point, there's no reason it should offend people.
(Other than racism and fear that's been implanted in us from the media and former president Bush)
(Not that I want to get into that much either)

That made a lot of sense.

I lol'd at this. "We all know people have the right to eat goat rhoti, but the question is, should they?"
Sarah Palin's original quote - "We all know that they have the right to do it, but should they?"

I really don't see why this shouldn't be approved.

If someone can give me a valid reason, I will rethink my stance on this "issue".

 

[tenkai]

i say no if they want a mosque build it somewhere else. why do they have to build it right near ground zero it feels they are insensitive to those who died at ground zero.i am not against them building a mosque,im only against them building it there.there are plenty of other places you can build a mosque build it somewhere else!!

 

[BlueStar]

Charlie Brooker, right on the money as usual, people who are against it tend to actually know fuck all about if apart from the fact they've heard the buzzword "Ground zero mosque" and they think someone's building a mosque and it's at ground zero. I'd say for most people opposition to it is down to good old fashioned stupidity and ignorance rather than bigoty, but maybe it's a little from column A and a little from column B. Then there are the pundits and talking heads who know exactly what it is and are just being wilfully ignorant.

'Ground Zero mosque'? The reality is less provocative

Millions of Americans are furious about the 'Ground Zero mosque'. But it doesn't exist

It's basically the conservative version of political correctness really, isn't it? "Oh, you have the right to do it, but you mustn't, it might offend somebody."
