[QUOTE="chathuranga"]Isn't the group that is trying to build the center near Ground Zero using Ground Zero as cheap publicity?SF_KiLLaMaN

its only getting publicity thanks to haters

The community center was planned to be there before 9/11 even took place.. Furthermore there are Mosque's nearby already.. SO NO I would expect no one to know the amount of hostility this caused.

[QUOTE="wstfld"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Okay...? There's a Church right there....Now if he was coming from New Jersey for the sole purpose of attending mass that would be different. But still, not everyone will do that, and there's already a Mosque 18 minutes away from this one.

I have no idea, I'm not religious. My parents switched from one Catholic church to another to the Presbyterian church, and I know many other people switch churches as well. Its all horse **** to me, so I don't know. They like the wallpaper better?

This is a double standard if I ever heard one.. Most Christians literally have a few churches within a mile of them.. Now we expect the Mosque they have to go to is 20 minutes away? Furthermore this is a Community center first and foremost.. Because its far more convient.. Not to mention from what I have heard their places of worship are too small to fit the attendence.. But yet again this is a community center, there is only one floor for religious practices.. And it should not be called a Mosque.

I've offered to buy Trump out, but he says 10$ won't cut it.

They knew this would happen. Them saying that they didn't think there would be public backlash is just idiotic.SF_KiLLaMaN

In fact, since the centre is planning to include things like restaraunts, by Islamic definition it cannot possibly be a Mosque.

Not to mention its not going to be excluding any one regardless of religion, the fact of the matter is they will be allowing Christians and the like to be worshipping on that floor as well it seems.

It's an Islamic Community center, who do you think is going to be frequenting it the most after their Religious Ceremonies? Another mosque is located 18 minutes away from this proposed building site, the largest Muslim population is over a half an hour away.

And if you're arguing that Churches are closer it's because they were ALREADY there, they weren't just built.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] And there's another Mosque 18 minutes away from this location. The largest concentration of Muslims is over a half an hour away from this location, what would make them go to this Mosque over the one they've already been attending?Snipes_2

This is just the Catholic Churches. See the Manhattan list. With all the flavors of Christianity, I'm sure there are many many many more churches.
