Which one?
Several of them approve of the mosque's construction.
Hey, we invaded and occupied a Muslim country, killing tens of thousands of them on a hunch.
Why should this be any different? When it comes to Muslims, going with your gut trumps the principals on which this country was founded.

Define victim.
I'm American. I feel like we were all victims.
that's a cop out. Most people realize they can't demand mosques be shut down everywhere in America. Islamophobia doesn't mean stupidity.
Obviously, this sensitivity schtick provides a great excuse for people to act on their fear of the muslim culture, and until people protesting can bring some kind of rational explanation for their demands, it will continue to look like fear is the motive behind them.
Schtick?
You accuse the victim's families of engaging in schtick?
If it were fear, the Ground Zero mosque wouldn't be the only target of opposition. You'd see opposition to the building of a new mosque anywhere and protests against existing mosques believed to be radicalized.
And, as of this week 70% believe the mosque shouldn't be built.
That's more of a consensus than Algore had on Global War...er, Climate Change.
so what yoni. like chump said, look what happened the last time a knuckledragger acted on his gut.
I'm not talking about the victim's families. I'm talking about every other stone faced hypocrite using their ordeal to further an agenda of their own.
I already answered this.If it were fear, the Ground Zero mosque wouldn't be the only target of opposition. You'd see opposition to the building of a new mosque anywhere and protests against existing mosques believed to be radicalized.
Okay, to answer; as far away as those who lost loved ones at Ground Zero would like.
Do the victim's families have a legitimate argument?
It wasn't a question.
Completely and utterly ridiculous statement
Google "Tennessee mosque" and get back to me.
What about those who lost loved ones and want the mosque to be built near ground zero?
Where is your compassion for and solidarity with them?
No, they don't, but I do think they are being sincere, although misguided, about their grievance, unlike most of the people involved in this. The people responsible for the Mosque seem to have nothing to do with the people responsible for 9/11. So the victim's families grievances are directed at the wrong people.
Fine, I already talked about this. Happy?It wasn't a question.
Does anyone else think it's insulting to Muslims to insinuate that a large number of them will go bat crazy and go on marauding, murderous rampages if a book is burned?
Likewise, isn't thinking that a Muslim will snap and have a phychotic episode because they've seen their invisible god in cartoon form equally insulting?
Why do you guys think all Muslims are bat crazy religious zealots?
go ahead and show me who's been saying this? or even insinuating this.
it really is laughable that you think this bull is helping you make a point, specially since you've been insinuating this very thing since the beginning.
I don't. Why do you?
What do you think they will do, DarrinS?
I say burn the Koran and ask those who are upset to be more tolerant.
Because they go bat over burned Korans and images of Mohammed?
are all those who lost loved ones at Ground Zero united in their determination of how far away is far enough?
I wasn't aware.....
Do they have a Yahoo Groups account? I'd like to get in on it.
But, you guys seem to think Muslims have only a precarious grip on reality and will suddently SNAP the moment they see a cartoon of <name redacted, PBUH>. That's very insulting. Muslims are very rational people.
Why would this endanger our troops?
Really, that's what they all do?
