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

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"][QUOTE="BPoole96"]

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?

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

Edit: Molestation =/= sexual harassment.

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.

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

Did...Did that guy in the video just compare Islam to Nazism?

I chuckled a few times at how stupid some of his statements were...But then he got the to the Islam/Nazism comparison and yeah, it became grade-A tinfoil hattery.

I should also note that I'm not attempting to place blame for atrocities of those wars on religion specifically. That whole mess had many fascets to it.

Sorry, but I couldn't find a good point in that. The comparison pretty much killed his credibility.

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

Ugh... the misconceptions. Three blocks is not "across from." And a "community centre" is not a terrorist training facility... as some people seem to think its going to be. I don't understand how people can be "offended" by a group wanting to build on land they legally purchased before members saying they are part of the same religion attacked a facility, where those looking to build the centre, had family and friends also die in the attacks.

BUT ITS ALL A CONSPIRACY! *foil hat*

Not that big of a deal. But if that many people are so offended, why don't they just build it in a less controversial location?

They're building a community center with a mosque in it a few blocks away from ground zero. It's in no way offensive and anyone who finds it to be so needs to do some fact checking.

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

well it is two blocks away. What is offensive about it to you? The money is the only thing you mentioned.

People in NYC don't care. wstfld

People in Canada don't care.:P

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

I have no problem with it. Not offensive in the slightest.

I think that if they've bought the land they can build a 30 floor high building that looks like male genitalia and have a Soviet Union flag ontop of it if they want to.

I think if new yorkers are so upset about it, they should offer to pay double the worth of the plot of land to buy the plot.
