The day that Christians are allowed to build a church at Mecca is the day I would accept that Islam truly embraces diversity and tolerance.

it wasn't the religion that destroyed the twin towers, it was extremists, but i still dont see how plonking a mosque on ground zero will help anything. Just upset people, it should stay as a memory, or have a tribute building made that isnt anything to do with anything, just dedicated to the twin towers

Yes but the religion itself isn't particularly great either is it?

There's the IRA - Catholic Christians. Another extremist group hiding behind religion to excuse the atrocities they committed. Difference being they didn't go round blowing up muslims.

I'm not talking about terrorists though. Islam is far from peace.

But then again look to the past. Witch hunts, The crusades etc. It's not right to blame everyone who follows a religion but Religion tends to bring out the worst in people.

Quite right. It is ridiculously insensitive... bordering on malicious, but then what do you expect from the apparent decision-makers in this?

I just think religion is bad a whole and just causes trouble. I don't know much about extremist's i thought the IRA were about britains taking over part of Ireland.

The IRA is/was a predominantly political organisation that sought independence from Britain, the roots of resentment being historically inextricably bound up with the Catholic faith. The IRA often exploited the religious affiliations of the Irish people to draw them into the republican ideology, and thus enveigle them to commit atrocities in the name of the Cause. The IRA were never fussy about their targets; politicians, civilians, children, old folk - it was all the same to them. Much like the so called "islamic" terrorists we have these days. Religion is a very convenient and acceptable umbrella to lurk under when extremists want to legitimise their evil actions.

I'd like to think 'Opium of the masses' does not apply anymore. But I think it still does

I watch Fox News (Ch509 on Sky)
from Time to time
just to Laugh at how Extreme they are.


CBSNews in HD
is better 12:30PM on SkyNewsHD.

For anyone interested, the mosque will be located in the circled area.


Its description as a Ground Zero Mosque is something of a half-truth/distortion, but I still think the idea is hugely insensitive and an insult to 9/11 victims.

The fact that Mayor Bloomberg is supporting the project beggars belief. New Yorkers should vote his ass out if they had any sense.

[Tom4784]

For the safety of it's practitioners I'd probably build it a little farther away but at least it's not actually on Ground Zero. You can't punish a whole religion for the actions of a few.

No, I highly doubt that.
