Why building a mosque near "ground zero" is bad

I think if election of Obama and complete dispossession WASP from the political corridors of the nation doesn't give people a clue about the the change in the US nothing would! Do I need to detail that  The country is gone through almost a revolution that is unacceptable to the swept by this sea-change! There is no need of rumor if the center's preliminary plans submitted to the city had thirteen floors and a floor has the mosque/prayer faculties, it is part of American Muslim life style....Is it illegal under the law? The ignorant phobia mongers oppose every mosque every whether it is Twin Tower area or clear across the country in California boonies ( see my other thread Temecula Valley Bigots) The Muslims are new nxxxrs of the land and they will have to learn to work with rest of targeted groups and they will do it when they are hit really hard and things get to the high courts! 2) If this project is meant to service the religious and non religious community why aren't there other leaders speaking with this gentleman. Jim Wallis' group has done that ... what else one wants? You can't satisfy these bigots no matter what except follow the legal recourse where the bigots don't have prayer I think! 3) if this project is funded by non muslims why aren't they speaking on his behalf? Mayor Bloomberg has and he is Jewish!     Hi GIbbs, I have read that it's the Saudi muslims that are financing the majority of funds and not the American Muslims. Wouldn't it have been a better idea for the American Muslims to cough up the dough?

I am not sure this is Saudi funded project unless it is illegal you have no business pointing fingers ...

IMO the Saudis stopped most of their funding after 911...BUT one can do the pointing about others say Catholic church system that is  controlled and funded from Vatican! The Bush Sr library took lot of funds from ME
Did you see Faisel's press conference video? He clearly says it is not a Mosque why don't you believe him?
The American Muslims have coughed up lots of dough to do that it is smart thing to do that for the well off otherwise US will take a bigger bite out of their earnings!
I think it will be an interesting drama come November midterm to see these hypocritical pols!

The Ahmadis attack in Pakistan show how fragile relations are between muslims. People might say it was a political motive..but sunnis consider them heretics. Here in the UK the Ahmadis are kicked out of sunni restaurants and businesses. I don't see it as being a good example to show non-muslims. So, when muslims are united I would feel we are getting somewhere.   As regarding Christians I post the following:- In a famous letter to all Christian nations, Muhammad wrote, "Christians are my citizens; and by God! I hold out against anything that displeases them." The fact that Muhammad formalized this expectation in writing demonstrates its immense importance. He concluded the letter with a firm reminder, "No one of the nation of Muslims is to disobey this covenant till the end of the world." http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/2010/jul/22/ed-rashid22-ar-346125/       Please refrain from posting any thing from the Ahmedi perspectives...They have long history of nefarious activities as far the treason of the faith is concerned ...Thanks...I think we have been on that discussion in the past if my failing memory serves me right! I haven't had my tea yet!
