Property rights. Please catch up.
what's the moral issue?
It's insensitive because it's a Muslim mosque?or just the belief that anything having a hint of insensitivity to the victims of 9-11 or would be seen as a slap in the face to Americans at large, would be better off built elsewhere.
If it's a YMCA, I'm very sure there is no outcry.
What else is it but racist?
right, and from the information we have so far, apparently these guttural reactions are based on Islamophobia and/or racism.It's hard to reconcile -- with some -- that even a minority of a faith or religion that perpetrated such a crime could stand to gain any kind of boost or benefit from such a project. That's the crux for most I believe, even if they don't exactly have the ability or willingness to explore their thoughts. It's just and emotional and even sometimes, guttural, reaction.
So the question again is, what are the legitmate reasons for getting butthurt about a mosque near ground zero?You can't paint emotion with the same broad brush, as their are legitimate and illegitimate reasons for all involved, so to dismiss all that oppose as racists or Islamaphobes is -- at best -- disingenuous.

It's their property. They can do as they damn well please with it.
Really? Then why can't the Greek Orthodox church, flattened by one of the Trade Center Towers, rebuild?
Why can't Israelis build in Jerusalem?
It's their property, they should be able to do as they damn well please with it, no?
No one disputes its legality, that I know of.
And I'm sure it will really help the nice Imam achieve his so-called mission. It's really just a giant olive branch.

I'll catch up when you do the same with my question. We can move the goal posts after that happens, if you'd like.
I wasn't aware they can't. Why can't they?
Is Jerusalem a suburb of New York?Why can't Israelis build in Jerusalem?

Did any of those churches buy the building that Mosque will use?
Municipal compliance is a .
Cordoba Center is slightly more with it than the Greek Orthodox Church it would appear. Thems the breaks. Nobody ever said it was fair.
It's simple, you tie the mosque(Islam) to the terrorists. Just man up and admit it... either that explain exactly what is insensitive about a place of worship being built there..
It seems to be a religious issue for the Islamophobes. Not a property rights issue at all.
What was your point again?
Oh goody. Now pedophiles can buy a big plot of land and do whatever they damn well please there. Maybe KkK groups will run with wineholes logic.
If you just want to pretend to have a conversation I would assure you two can play that game. Carry on.
They are not Islamaphobes, they just don't want a Muslim place of worship there because Muslims caused the problem...
they can buy land and do what they want with it..
We're talking about the Cordoba Center ok? The building at the center of this furore.
'member?
actually your logic is simple, if they can legally build there they should be able to.
Yes, pedophiles can buy a big plot of land and do whatever they damn well please within city zoning codes.
Oh goody for you!
If you read what I've posted you'd know what my point is. Really don't have a point. Just stating this is not a freedom of religion issue. Is that hard to comprehend? If you have a gotch question then feel free and fire away.
we know what your position isThey are not Islamaphobes, they just don't want a Muslim place of worship there because Muslims caused the problem...
Viva is an idiot. Molesting little boys is a crime, on private property or otherwise. Worshipping Allah and playing basketball is not. The lengths of stupidity you idiots will go to, in order to justify your open racism, is heartbreaking. Fat, dumb and bigoted is no way to go through life, sons.
You stated "property". Not "cordoba center". Or does that ruin your logic?
