ORIGINAL: cuckoldmepls Use your common sense. No one would have said a word if the Mosque had been built before 9/11. Which explains why the Pentagon probably has a Mosque in it. 9/11 is a sacred site now, and it is completely disrespectful to build a mosque that looks down on this sacred site. Now if it were a 2 story Mosque, I doubt anyone would say a word, but this Mosque is of such magnitude that it seems obvious to people with common sense that it is purposely making a statement. Think about it. The Twin towers a symbol to America's capitalism is destroyed. But a Massive Mosque, looking down on the site will now be the sacred site. Neither site is "sacred" to me. I do think the site of the twin towers should be memorialized, but "sacred"? Um, no. I don't think Pearl Harbor is "sacred" either. You are couching this in religious terms, which is part of the problem for you and some people who are opposed to this... you are threatened that Islam will dominate Christianity... and you are caught up in the symbolism of this supposed domination. Personally, I am not a Christian or a Muslim, I have no "dog" in this fight and all I want is for you fuckers to get along... so shake hands and play nice and learn how to share. Oh, many Muslims died on 911 in the towers....so it might be sacred to them, too, just a thought. Here is an incomplete list of Muslims that lost their lives that day... which is something to consider before you hate on them: Samad Afridi Ashraf Ahmad Shabbir Ahmad (45 years old; Windows on the World; leaves wife and 3 children) Umar Ahmad Azam Ahsan Ahmed Ali Tariq Amanullah (40 years old; Fiduciary Trust Co.; ICNA website team member; leaves wife and 2 children) Touri Bolourchi (69 years old; United Airlines #175; a retired nurse from Tehran) Salauddin Ahmad Chaudhury Abdul K.
