This is their argument:
Such double-standards lead us back to the issue of double-meanings: As for the literal wording of the mosque project, “Cordoba House,” it too offers opposing paradigms of thought: to Westerners, the English word “house” suggests shelter, intimacy-coziness, even; in classical Arabic, however, the word for house, dar, can also mean “region,” and is regularly used in a divisive sense, as in Dar al-Harb, i.e., “infidel region of war.” Thus, to Muslim ears, while “Cordoba” offers allusions of conquest and domination, dar is further suggestive of division and separation (from infidels, a la the doctrine of al-Wala’ wa al-Bara’, for instance).

Good place to sell hot dogs in front of, left over grease from all that pork can be tossed onto the street.
and they won, so they should get to build the mosque
america should be all for this, since america loves a winner
Yes, there's already one 4 blocks away, owned by the same guy I think. So they need to build it somewhere else, but they don't want to because it wouldn't be a victory Mosque.
Of course he did. He is trolling dumb dumb.

It is technically a mosque (masjid). It's somewhat incorrect to think of a mosque as a "Muslim church." The term for that would be masijid jami, which is a specific type of mosque. In Islam, a mosque can be as insignificant as a partitioned space in a guy's living room or den or whatever, or as extravagant as a dedicated multistory decorated building. This community center would definitely be a mosque, but it's not going to be where they meet on Friday for worship and whatnot.well first of all, its not a mosque

In other words, it will be a place where nearby Muslims can come in and handle their daily prayers (thus making it a "mosque"), but it's not going to be the meeting place for Friday congregation.

True they could move closer and still be a block away from the tower under construction. It'd be better if they moved.
Those poor Muslims following a religion that explicitly states that they must deceive all non-Muslims by pretending you're one of them, convert them to Islam or kill them if they won't convert, and establish Sharia Law.
Aww, I feel so bad for them. Kinda like how bad I feel for Scientologists when they get ridiculed, scammed by their own, and/or die because of their religion's rules.
im not agreeing with validuz in any way
he's a fucking idiot
with that said ... terrorists attack the US in the name of Islam ... destroy a few buildings, and in the wake a building is built ... in the name of Islam. isn't that kinda sending the wrong message to them ...? saying that they can blow up all the shit they want and we will just let them build monuments to their insane religion which is part of their goal in the first place.
not to mention the funding on this project is murky... who the fuck is stumping up the $100M for the project ... some of that money is allegedly coming from anti-western orgs..

Those terrorists would probably execute the Muslim supporters of this mosque if they had the chance.

If we use the force of government to deny them the right to purchase property and practice their religion on it, simply because it is proximal to Ground Zero, then we are conveying that we hold Islam, not al-Qaeda, accountable for 9/11. That sort of religious-based alienation is rather antithetic to one of the key principles on which this nation was founded: freedom of expression, religion, speech, etcetera.
