How is this mosque going to effect anyone's daily life again?
It makes Muslims feel welcome in America, which they most certainly are not.

The passage you're referring to ACTUALLY says that it is acceptable for Muslims to hide their faith if not doing so would put their life is in danger. Some terrorists do admittedly interpret it the way you say, but 99% of muslims don't.
Those poor Muslims following a religion that explicitly states that they must deceive all non-Muslims by pretending you're one of them,
They feel they have a responsibility to convert nonbelievers, the same as Christians do. Nowhere does it say they have to kill them if they can't convert them. Actually, back in the pre-crusades era, the muslims were actually much MUCH more tolerant of other religions than Christians. Fun fact: The jews in Arabia were actually able to live peacefully and freely practice their religion under Muslim rule, whereas the Crusaders would kill jews just as easily as they would muslims.convert them to Islam or kill them if they won't convert,
Again, no. Your tiny brain does not seem to be able to comprehend that there's a difference between normal muslims and the radical terrorists.and establish Sharia Law.
The United States and Saudi Arabia spent about $40 billion on the war in Afghanistan, recruiting, supplying, and training nearly 100,000 radical mujahideen from forty Muslim countries, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria, and Afghanistan itself. Among the recruits were Osama bin Laden and his followers.
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.
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.
If anyone wonders why most people think Americans are pricks, this thread is a good indication as to why.
They care nothing to learn of history.
George Bush himself was great friends with the rich members of Saudi Arabia's elites who have known links to the many hijackers.
Yet Americans like to cling to the idea that this is a result of "Muslims" in general. This helps them pinpoint their anger, although the irony is that it's pinpointing a larger group of people than they are themselves. Perhaps it's then a fear issue, turned into xenophobia.
Either way, the idea that building a mosque ten years later in an area near by where the horrible event occured, has anything to do with sensitivity is absurd. The hijackers were no more representative of Islam than are KKK members representatives of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Of course that statement simply makes for a less interesting news story, and Fox News can't report it all day, get people involved in their fear and hate-mongering, etc.
The people that crashed into the towers were well-funded by your politicians and businessmen. They were not from Iraq, and nor did they represent Islam.
The worst part is the hypocrisy, where were your cries of insensitivity when you invaded Iraq and 10-30,000 civilians wound up dead. Where were you cries of insensitivity when there were no WMD's found, and nothing to link Iraq to the crime. Where's your fucking insensitivity there? What about when your own military couldn't get healthcare for themselves? What about when millions of Americans lost their homes? Wasn't that like last year?
Yet look at you pick this single event that is literally MEANINGLESS and attribute it all these emotional feelings, undoubtedly conjured up. I'd be surprised if you guys could feel anything. You're fucking sheep and you know it.
Brainwashed Americans, you make me hold my head in shame of humanity.
I guess the worst thing is that this shouldn't have to be said to people who are literate. I expect this to have to be said only at Nascar events and such.
lastly, the worst part of this is that because of your absurd attempts to link Muslims and Islam to the scene of the crime, we can no longer dissect it on the grounds that it should be dissected. ie. it must be seen (as all religion) as fundamentally problematic due to its patriarchal, misogynist & racist ideals whereby women and jews are treated as second-class citizens. before you get too high and mighty over this, every religion preaches the same unequal treatment of women and holds outdated and racist ideals.
Doctrine is a funny thing. It's characterized by interpretation and understanding in the context of a religion rather than by the literature. That's why the Big Three western religions can each use their own respective literature and yet have major polarizing divisions within them, often based on varying degrees of orthodoxy.Except this has nothing to do with "terrorists." The Koran says exactly what I said in my previous post.
You're just ridiculously ignorant and naive. Go educate yourself and read it.
The largest genocides and most destructive acts of terrorism (measured by body count) in the world today are being done in the perceived name of Christianity. Take careful note that I'm not blaming Christianity either, just as I don't blame Islam. It's a matter of perception.Argument deflection. When Christians, by way of the law of their religion, blow up buildings and use suicide bombs, you can come back to me on that
You have a right to property. If you own property, you can put a mosque on it. The end.where does the constitution say i can build a church anywhere i want, including the white house lawn or your backyard? show me, seriously, im dying to know where it says this
because i've read it, and you obviously have not
so show me the quote straight from the constitution that says this
owned
since muslim law states that they must kill all non-believers, we should let them kill us or else we are breaking their CONSTITUTIONAL right to be muslims and kill non-muslims!
sorry but the constitution doesn't say you can do anything as long as it is tied to religion
IT DOESNT say you can build a church anywhere you want in the constitution, please show me where it says that, you just twist and bend the words the way you want
