Mosque Near Ground Zero
 

Thankfully, it seems that most Americans understand freedom of religion and support the right of Muslims to build a mosque near Ground Zero. But it seems disturbing that so many Americans think it's "bad judgement" for them to do so. Even our president alluded to this.

Could this have happened with any other group of people? If 9/11 had been perpretrated by a small group of blacks or jews, could you imagine people saying that blacks or jews should not have religious buildings near Ground Zero because it might offend people? I think people would be outraged by such a suggestion (and rightly so). But it's OK if we're talking about Muslims?

Because the Sept 11 hijackers were claiming to be doing what they did in the name of Islam, your average twit thinks that it would be acknowledging a victory for the jihad.

We already have a thread for this...
