There are families of 9/11 victims against this mosque (Deborah Burlingame comes to mind). Do you think they are just bigoted rednecks?

For those who think we need to stop this: So since we have rule of law, what do you propose the minimum distance that any religion can have a place of worship from the site of a past terrorist attack? Also, you will likely have to move St. Peters if such a law were enacted.

As for why do we bend over backwards to tolerate differing views/religions etc: Because we are Americans, and this is the USA.

Why would that be offensive?

Would 610 feet not make it offensive? 700 feet? What is the distance that makes it kosher?

At least their opposition is understandable, whereas yours is capitalizing on an opportunity to act out your prejudices.

We have a Constitution, which purported "conservatives" such as Darrin claim to hold in high regard.

Re: Mosque near Ground Zero - Thoughts?

well, (according to Darrin's logic in his defense of BP) this mosque isn't that bad b/c it could have been taller, closer to ground zero, and more muslim-y.

If so, you are painting with a broad brush, like MB.

Do you think the Imam would mind if we put a large billboard with a cartoon of <name redacted -- peace be upon him>? Someone could legally rent the billboard. Wouldn't be very sensitive, would it?

So, I suppose there are only two sides to this issue:

1) For it
2) Racism

And the Constitution allows someone the freedom to express that they think the Constitution should be rewritten. </EOT.>

There's nothing illegal about the construction of that mosque. I just think it's in bad taste.

How's that?
You're the one directly associating a terrorist attack with a temple of religion.
Who's painting with the broad brush?

Maybe he would. He might even have anti-discrimination laws to fight against it. I'm not sure what billboards have to do with a Mosque.
Would putting a Synagogue or a Christian church there bother you too?
