While I wasn't happy about the radical religion that blew up our buildings putting an item of worship so close to a place where people, they have some hefty balls to do something like this.

Plans are under way for a Muslim house of worship, topped by a 13-story cultural center with a swimming pool, in a building damaged by the fuselage of a jet flown by extremists into the World Trade Center.
The opening date shall live in infamy: Sept. 11, 2011. The 10th anniversary of the day a hole was punched in the city's heart.

How the devil did this happen?
Plans to bring what one critic calls a "monster mosque" to the site of the old Burlington Coat Factory building, at a cost expected to top $100 million, moved along for months without a peep. All of a sudden, even members of the community board that stupidly green-lighted the mosque this month are tearing their hair out.
Paul Sipos, member of Community Board 1, said a mosque is a fine idea -- someplace else.
"If the Japanese decided to open a cultural center across from Pearl Harbor, that would be insensitive," Sipos told me. "If the Germans opened a Bach choral society across from Auschwitz, even after all these years, that would be an insensitive setting. I have absolutely nothing against Islam. I just think: Why there?"

To much collateral damage. I would rather the council just decide that it can't be built and tell them to go Jihad in another part of the city.


How about go jihad in another fucking country.

My first guess without getting offended was they are some humans sort of like christians and hindus and buddhists et al who see the horrifying pain and sadness and terror that went on there and they wish to bring their version of love and healing to that very spot

I guess you were one of them slaveowners huh? Thinking everyone is the same etc..

Do you really think they want to put a mosque there so they can connect their septic system to ground zero?

I know if I was a black man growing up in America in the 50's I would have trouble not thinking every white man was a racist.. or if I grew up during slavery days.. what a terror that must have been for them...

But.. are all white men racists out to enslave the black men?

I support Westboro's right to make assholes of themselves as long as they do it within the confines of the law. I also reserve my right to make inferences about their mental capacities and lack of common decency based on those actions. Likewise I support the right of this group to put up a mosque wherever they lawfully can, and to open it on whichever day they choose. I also reserve the right to infer that by choosing September 11 2011 as the opening day these people (specifically the ones participating in this occasion) are hateful creatures who are not deserving of any courtesy that is not demanded of me by the law.

Sorry. The religion of peace crap has been proven to be just that, crap. Those Muslims can take their fucking mosque and shove it up their collective asses.

Putting a mosque that close and having that date is a total lack of respect.
Which idiot allowed such a thing. I find this if this is true, a huge disgrace and those muslims that want to build that mosque should know better. This is pure provocation. No self respecting person would do such a thing , independent of religion.

Im guessing you are OK with white people celebrating the day the first slave came over on the boat?

What's wrong with a mosque? If they paid for the land with their own money and committed no crimes, they can do whatever the hell they want. This is another example of PC ruining America.

That's more the point. Obviously, if it was illegal, it would be a different issue.

I see libs here defending the right for muslims to be disrespectful and taunting our nation from within it's borders, but want to literally kill any christian that wants to ban abortion.

Im not religious either way, but the ends that most of the libs on this board will go to suck a terrorist dick is amazing.

This is a disgrace. They killed thousands of innocent people, destroyed our buidlings, and now they will build a mosque in the same area. Whoever approved this buidling permit should be fired.

I am not religious either and some people could see me as a liberal socialist. But i do know what is common sense. I have no problem with building a mosque. But that close and that date. Even if the mosque was that closely build and used as an info center to close gaps between cultures/religions, that date just ruined it all. Even if those people had honest intentions, the individual who chose that date did so deliberately.

Do not lash out at the mosque. Lash out at those who agree with its location and date. For they are the enablers of this.

I don't even necessarily have a huge problem with the location as I don't know how scarce real estate is in the neighborhood they want to build in. The date is blatantly disrespectful and leaves no ambiguity as to the kind of message they want to send out.

Really? I didn't read anywhere in that article that Al-Qaeda was building a mosque in NYC.

I see people that follow US law here defending the right for muslims to build a place of worship, and said religion members are 99% law-abiding, just like 99% of Christians


Fixed for accuracy.

Still not sure how building a place of worship is illegal, as long as they get appropriate permits and the like. Why do you hate our laws?

And as a corrected above, 99% of Muslim are law-abiding, lust like Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and atheists. You have a problem with freedom to practice a religon of your choice?

By your logic, we might as well condemn all of AT members as racists, based on the few members that actually post racist garbage.
