There is no way in hell that would be allowed.

Well I hope Im wrong about them and your right. BTW, we didn't put all Japanese in detention camps, just the ones we suspected as a threat.
And the ones we suspected were all of them.
if good muslims spent as much time, money, and energy teaching their children right and wrong through the paradigm of humanity as opposed to that of religion,as they are in trying to get this mosque built, than 9-11 MAY never have occurred and we wouldn't care where they put their mosques as was the case before that day.
i think a small amount of reciprocity is in order here with regard to the sensitivity of our fellow citizens who are disturbed by this. i believe the majority of our population has shown plenty of sensitivity toward muslims since the day that attack took place. I have a Turkish muslim neighbor right next door and have never harbored any ill will towards him. i would hope that an intelligent person could see WHY this bothers so many people, and therefore, just back it up a FEW MORE BLOCKS, considering the good will that would buy them. to continue to push for this in spite of the controversy is unnecessary and leads me to wonder about the motives of the would be mosque builders.
and if they persist,then we should just place a memorial with the names of the victims directly across the street. wouldn't that be constitutional as well? we don't really need to worry about whether that would be right, do we?

It's scary that people lack the common decency to understand why this plan is bad. It's equally scary that you had to come in here and help everyone else understand this.
They do have the right to do it, thats for sure. But is it right to do it? I mean, honestly theres gonna be some violence. In my opinion, this is up to the people of NY and the families of the deceased.
I agree, particularly the families of the ~60 Muslim men and women who died during the attacks.

And your right. I agree, let them choose, but remember, this Is a democracy, the majority rules.
Majority rules what exactly? A peoples' right to practice their religion?
Actually the constitution rules that, not the majority. hth.
Religious freedom is one of the bedrock ideals that our nation was founded on. Don't dress up intolerance as "majority rules" and expect rational people to buy into it.
While Congress can make no law respecting an establishment of religion, since the USA is a nation under God, Congress can make law that denies arbitrary rights.
I conclude that the purpose of making the Qur
Oh dear god, are you a young earth creationist? Please please please be one of those, they're the funniest.
No dude. I'm not. You actually read all that sh!t. I forgot to provide a cite to that. Sorry.

Unfortunately I made the mistake of thinking I was having a discussion with someone for whom the term "in good faith" has some semblance of meaning. I'm actually curious if, in your head, that wall of dreck comes anywhere near touching upon the topic at hand other than some rambling, insane conclusion that the Qur'an was written not as a holy text or one group of people's concept of the word of god, but as a trick perpetrated upon the world by literally 'three crafty Jews'. Like...f***ing seriously? I'm pretty sure I didn't order any crazy with my meal but goddamn that is a big steaming plate of it.
I really hope this is some epic troll but I'm not going to hold my breath.
You know what I love about this thread? In almost every thread in this forum people hate religion and go out of their way to lam bast any notion of it...but here they are defending a religion that is at least as intolerant as christianity.
Me thinks some people are thinking too deeply...or just like to talk?
