If a Christian can decide NOT to burn the Koran why can't a Muslim decide NOT to build that Mosque?

• actually, you can... the mosque is in bad taste. islam has a history of building mosques on sites of islamic victory. to the islamic radicals it would be a bit of a testament to their victory. it would be like the monestary that was going to be built in Auchwitz (not sure if i spelled that right.). if it is simply a community center then anyone reguardless of religion should be allowed to utilize it. no. it is a religious site. they have a right to build it, but it is offensive to many. much like the burning of the koran. sensitivity is the key word here. i only support the burning of the koran as a protest to sharia law and islamic radicals. if the roles were reversed and christians had flown the plane into the WTC i would feel the same way.
  
  if you want to talk reason, i am all on board, but to discount it all as "muslims are a minority her so we must oblige" then i disagree.

• You think the Mosque is in bad taste because you hate Muslims.
  We get that.
  
  But your prejudice makes you not-objective about this topic so equate the two all you like, but it is not a reasonable comparison.

• Community centre or a mosque. people say there was a mosque already, if thats true then Islam doesnt permit you to build any other structure on a site where once mosque stood. secondly, the question asked is actually a very pertinent one-if he can give up Quran burning so that there is peace, why not Rauf move the Mosque elsewhere? Obviously peace is not on his list of priorities-all that we hear from him is threats of violence against America and American interests worldwide, AS IF!

• @extremeist-That's a rediculous argument. Does pointing a gun to your head and then lower the barrel to the ground make me a peacemaker. Only in the Colt sense.
  
  BTW-Your comment pretty well says why your training program probably isn't going to get any traction. But if I'm wrong please feel free to contact me through existing channel.

• Yes buddy they were Sunni muslims. It happened several times over in Iraq too. In Pakistan Christians are a minority so cant afford to blow up a mosque and in Iraq its mostly muslims. In both these coyuntries the fight is between Shia and Sunnis. IN Iraq Shias are being backed by Iran and Sunnis are being backed by Saudi Arabia and other Sunni countries. Saddam was a Sunni and Sunnis were in a minority in Iraq but still ruled majority shias there.

• Building of the Mosque knowing too well the divisions it would create within the society is religious tolerance or abusing your right to religious freedom? Nothing comes without a price, so are your rights as a citizen. But obviously pseudo-secularists believe only in enjoying their right to freedom of all kinds but not the responsibilities that come with it.

• They will not police themselves, but what they will do is push and push until the common people get so weary of holding back, they will end up burning Muslims along with their violent propaganda.
  I can't believe they don't already know we aren't going to just keep taking their crap without a real fight.
  
  I want someone to account for all those missing Russian suitcase nukes and apologize for unjust Jihad before I start trusting any foreigners on US Soil.
  
  I want the Imam to publicly explain Sharia and Taqiyya before I let my grudge go. Until then I say he is a liar and a murderer.

• I guess you said somewhere that there was a mosque already there and its just an extension of it?

  • Report

• No, I said there was actually a mosque in the vicinity that has been there a long time, and is actually closer to ground zero that the proposed development.
  
  Burning the Q'ran would actually be a deliberate attack on another religion. Building a community centre is building a community centre. I don't see any similarity between the two.
  
  The attack on the twin towers was an appalling atrocity carried out by religious fundamentalists. I find fundamentalists to be dreadful people, irrespective of what religion they happen to follow.

• someone else also said there was a msoque at the site already, it seems like now you backing off fromm your earlier statement. Also, if burning Quran is being seen as an act of aggression why cannot be building of this mosque seen the same way considering the kind of hatred it has generated.

• 100 mosques in NY city. Zero churches in Saudi Arabia.Why don't people like Obama and the defenders of religious freedom extend that sentiment to the treatment of Christians in places like Indonesia,Pakistan,Saudi Arabia and other Muslim majority countries?
  Why must the West always bend over backwards?Tolerance is a two way street.

• Yes we know the mosque is meant for prayers only and not to hurt anyone's sentiment. But why can't they move it to some other site knowing the kind of negativity it has created in the society? If Terry can be responsible enough not to carry out his threat to maintain social harmony why cannot they be wise enough to move it elsewhere? Also, blow up some building in the middle-east in the name of christianity and try buidling a church near such a site see what happens!

• It's two blocks away and around a corner you cant see one from the other. I don't understand how people can be so against a religious building near a tragic place, but be fine with the gambling parlor and adult store that are right near it. Besides the Muslims building the mosque my be the same religion as the terrorist who took down the twin towers but they're not the same people.

• That place became tragic because religion was one of the main motivating factor behind those attacks. People actually have no objection to constructing of the mosque but the intentions behind it and obviosuly they are not good as had they been Rauf would probably have moved it to some other site instead of handing out terrorist threats to Americans worldwide. I don't understand if Terry Jones can take his threat to burn the Holy Quran back why can't Rauf move it eslewhere for peace and harmony. Why is he sooo adamant on having it there only knowing fully well how it has and further would divide the American society. Obviously funded by his bossess sitting in Egypt (wo fund Hamas too)America and American interests are not in his list of priorities. Can you build a church in the Mecca city, can you build a church anywhere in the Middle East after blowing up a building in the name of Christianity?

• So you think it's wrong that no Church's are allowed in Mecca I see you're point that's not reaching out to Christianity and it makes a huge barrier between cultures. So in essence you're saying that American's should be like they are in Mecca and allow only Christian churches to be built here. Two wrongs don't make a right. And restricting freedom of religion makes tensions a lot higher between different groups. Ignorance is ignorance no matter what way you phrase it. Believe it or not innocent Muslims were killed in the 9/11 attacks too. Let me ask you this do you personally know any Muslim people? Have they ever posed a threat to you? There are extremest in every religion. Have you ever heard of Church of Jesus Christ-Christian? That would be the church of the aryan brotherhood. Now those are terrorist they are an extremest group who formed a church. Islam was a religion before it had extremest.
