What do you think of the mosque in new york being build across from ground zero?

I find it pretty offensive... but they bought the property for 4.2 million dollars and are now going to build a 100 million dollar mosque... It will probably be a pretty mosque but I think its going to cause controversy and riots and stuff... What do you think of the mosque in NYC being built near ground zero?

It's a block away and it's a community center with a mosque in it.

Not a big deal.

Seriously, how many times does this thread have to be made...rockguy92

I don't think it's a good idea at all but it's a free country.

We have had so many threads about this.

Once it's built, no one will care. Why? Because it will defeat their vision held together by misinformation. Once they find out that it's a community center, it is not on top of, next to, across, beside, above, or anything ground zero, and it isn't being opened on 911, no one will care.

If you don't want them to build it, you have to sacrifice freedom of religion. No two ways here.

I dislike the idea, especially after hearing that vid from the British guy ranting about how wrong it is

How is that racist? A religion that caused thousands of people to die at that site now is going to build a place of worship for people of that religion? That doesn't seem odd at all to you?

It's not a mosque, it's a community center. World of difference there. It's not across from Ground Zero, it's a couple of blocks away. You cannot see one site from the other. This subject has been beaten to death, stop making threads about it.

I don't.

They can do it, but i have to question whether or not they have thought this through. They are right next to the site of biggest mass murder in US history, and they are of the same religion as the murderers. Do they not realize that some people may vandalize their 100,000,000 dollar structure in the middle of the night?

Honestly, i'd move to another spot. It would be way to risky putting it there.

yeah sorry for posting this thread how many threads have been like this already 20??? didnt know

Still though, they were Muslim extremists affiliated with Al-Quada. It was an act of violence that was influenced by that religion so i still think its not an appropriate location for a Mosque/community center

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"] The religion cause nothing. A few extremists caused it, and some of those thousands of people were Muslims themselves. It is not directly on top of or across from the site. It is a community center, not just a mosque. wstfld

Good point, but I think Mass Murder of thousands of people is a tad more serious than sexual harrassment

I saw this video a few weeks ago (Ironically, from a thread with this subject on OT) and thought the creator made a lot of good points

It doesn't matter what you say. I am sure your intentions were harmless but starting a thread like this and saying you find the mosque pretty offensive is like saying "damn those dirty muslims" to most people. I'm not sure why a thread with racist implications and overtones wouldnt be locked anyway but what do I know eh

I would like to see the reactions of those if a Christian/Protestant church was to be built in the same location, if not closer.

It's a church/community center. How bad could that be?

Oh don't worry, Catholicism has that covered too.

Edit: Molestation =/= sexual harassment.

well i am muslim I just think its a bad spot for a mosque

Just let them build it

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

[QUOTE="wstfld"] That makes a lot of sense. I'm going to protest the Catholic Church being next to the elementary school down the street due to all of the boys that priests have sack-tickled and mouth-****** over the years.hakanakumono

That was the word I was looking for.

Does Catholicism have any incidents in modern history concerning mass murder? (Serious question, I don't follow religion very closely)

I don't know if they were Catholics specifically, but during the Serbian War in the mid 90's there were acts of genocide commited by Serbian Christians against Bosniak Muslims.

Yeah, the Crusades came to mind but that wasn't an act of terror. I don't recall any events of a terrorist event involving Catholicism
