Building a Mosque??? WTF

[Lazortag]

God, did I say it was a mosque? Like eleven times in my post? It's an islamic community centre. Why am I such an idiot. Either way, everything in my post still applies.

I live in New York. I know how New Yorkers think. And one of my friends... a guy whom I had known since high school, was killed on 9/11.

If those assholes try to build this nasty little mosque of theirs, then they can fully expect a street war. I can already see people gearing up for it.

You make me embarrassed to share my city with you and apparently you dont know how all new yorkers think.

edit (lolz): Actually it's also a mosque. Guess I was right. I thought the title of the topic had somehow hypnotized me into make-believing it was a mosque:

Park51, originally named Cordoba House, is a planned $100 million, 13-story, glass and steel Islamic community center and mosque in Lower Manhattan

just ignore this post and the one before it.

True Muslims, not the ones that misquote the Qu'ran for their own goals, are usually wonderful people. I say that we as a country you need to learn to respect more religions that don't fall under Judeo-Christianism morality. I'm hoping that they keep things positive and open some eyes, but I'm worried that the opposition is going to be too heavy. I've been by the Islamic Center in Tacoma a few times, and someone reciting Takbir and the entire crowd erupting in Allahu Akhbar is kind of inspiring. It seems more heart felt than amen, or halleluja.

Capital isn't that tough to raise, and I really don't care about their motives or intent, I just want the United States of America to wake up before it's just a footnote in a history book. "The Decline of the Great American Empire", is not a book I'd want to have to read.

Building a Mosque near WTC is as wise as if the Japanese building a Shinto temple in Pearl Harbor. While I defend the constitutional right to do so, I still think the only purpose of building this is to put a thumb in the eye of us non-believers. Look at the Temple mount in Jerusalem. Nice way to promote peace.

I will repeat what has been stated before. It's not a mosque and it's not at ground zero.

And yes, I do live in NYC.

Extremists, Insurgents, and Terrorists can not destroy America. Only we as American's can do that. So far we're doing a damn good job.

Islamic Fundamentalism wants to paint the west the same way North Korean Propaganda does. They want people to choose a side. Their whole purpose is to sell the view that what they believe is correct. Children aren't born to be hate mongers and extremists. While some may be indoctrinated into it, most are drawn in by way of persuasion. Often those type of people tend to be poor and illiterate... No Extremist leaders, princes or sheik's or any of their family offer themselves up in a way that directly threatens their lives.

The ignorant perpetuate the kind of shit that these terrorists point to. Unfortunatly everyone always tends to focus on the negative and it works well when the example of the America these people are taught to hate are Good Ole Boy, Prejudice Spewing, Back Country fucks.

Terror Leader: "They hate Islam, See? They are all buddy-buddy with the Jews. They will rule you with Christianity, they want you to convert. You must fight!"

"Here's a suicide vest... I'm gunna be chillin other here. Say Hi to Allah for me, have fun with the virgins bro! Man You're Lucky! Gogogogo!"

Read the last two pages and you'll see why this is not an issue.

Our country was founded on Religious freedom. By allowing a Mosque be built close to the ground zero sight we're not conceding nothing but our inoordinate rage toward Islam who's believers do not condone nor associate themselves with the actions of the independent terrorist organization who attacked the United States 9 years ago.

azeth beings to cast a spell.
You feel your mind expand.

we're conceding nothing* -> correction to "we're not conceding nothing"
