It has been in the news for a few weeks now. There is an attempt at building a huge Islamic center two blocks from Ground-Zero where the 9/11 tragedy unfolded. While the proponents of the center claim that it is nothing but a moderate muslim attempt at building bridges, many feel that the choice for the location is “too close for comfort”
This news report from FOX News is a good summary (make sure you watch the VIDEO)
I am one of those who thinks that the building of the center (including a mosque) would be a slap in the face of the victims and survivors of 9/11.
I have said it before and I need to reiterate it: Not all muslims are terrorists just like not all Germans were nazis. But please, have a little sensitivity to the issue at stake here!
Not that we want to, but could we build a synagogue in Saudi Arabia? No!
Could we build a Christian church with a cross on its roof in Bahrain? No!
Are tolerance, multi-culturalism and political correctness one way streets? I don’t think so, but it so appears that Islam is using our very laws and cultural flexibility to continue their subtle (not so subtle anymore) invasion. This is cultural Jihad at its best.
In the meantime, kosher restaurants are getting swastikas painted on their walls in Paris and a French Jewish cemetery was defaced. But who cares, right!? It’s far enough that we don’t have to be concerned.
Are we soon to see a Hitler memorial in the middle of Auschwitz?
Well, using this logic, I don’t see why not!
If you care about freedom in America, consider signing a petition.
There are several but I signed this one on the site of ACT FOR AMERICA!
Building a Islamic Center near ground zero is an insult and a slap in the face. Anyone who thinks this is not part of the reason simply doesn’t get it. Even the purposed name of the center is one that represents a Islamic conquest that resulted in many deaths…Wake up America…and vote on the question asked at the beginning.
hi everyone
first of all it is a tragedy 9/11 , but i think and as you said the muslims arent terrorists. they were some fanatics and extremist that belong to a certain religion or not (maybe we will never know because we weren`t in that plane and didn`t know those people) that toke de wrong way, they are not building a memorial or monument to those people -> its complete diferent im sure its hard for the people that sufer that date to have an objective point of view but dont fall in Semitism yourselfs
Correction to Anonymous,
Some Muslims are not terrorists, but Islam is a terrorist producing screed. You cannot deny that the Islamic world celebrated 9/11 when their brothers intentionally flew the planes into the towers. Islam has a long standing tradition of building mosques on or near sites of major “victories.” If that is not the Imam’s intent, he must recognize the history and acknowledge the concern of the opposition.
