Hahahahhahaha thanks so much for that, and you say Christians are judgemental??
I would have to say that's a little different...that would be like a *bleep* putting up a wall with a swastikka(sp.?) on it in a Jewish community...people are STILL hurting from the tragedies of 9/11. But to me that's not even the main issue.
Where is the funding coming from?
Does Imam agree with his wife that in America there is nothing but hate for muslims?
And what are his intentions for the mosque...especially after making controversial remarks such as "we tend to forget, in the west, that the United States has more muslim blood on its hands than Al Qaeda has on its hand on innocent non-muslims"
I have trouble supporting him, not because he's muslim, but because he thinks the U.S. has done more damage among muslims that Al Qaeda (an organization CENTERED on terrorism who aims attacks at the U.S.) has done to Americans.
THAT STATEMENT is disrespectful to victims of 9/11. Simple as that.
The US has more blood on it's hands from right here on this continent then any other foreigners do.
Why is it that whenever I made a valid point regarding the Mosque that YOU brought into the argument, you change the subject. Let's make this debate worthwhile, go ahead and answer some of my questions and Imam Rauf, his beliefs, his funding...prove that Christians vote against it out of hate and not common sense.
The be honest I am not familiar with the conduct of Imam Rauf. Let me ask you since you insinuate you are familiar with him, has he been convicted of any crimes, or are you just assuming he is guilty without a trial? Certainly a fine patriot such as your self wouldn't concieve of bending your constitution would you.
Now, lets suppose he were guilty of all charges, would you support any other muslim or muslim organization building a "community Center" at he location in question?
WHEN did I claim he was guilty of a crime. Please quote that for me.
So there are questions to his character, you can't start punishing someone before they are found guilty, as far as his claims as to US narm toward Muslims, I am not a scholar of Muslim events, but using the precedence that the US has set in regards to many other peoples here and abroad, I wouldn't dismiss his claims.
I never said go ahead and punish him. I'm simply saying that as Americans we deserve to be informed, and I don't mean I want CNN to give me a liberalized version of who Rauf is.
We should get to know WHERE is the funding coming from? Our tax dollars?
Who is this guy? Where did he grow up? Where does he stand on the issues with Iraq, Afghanistan, Al Qaeda?
How does he feel about Americans actions toward Muslims?
Does he feel extremely mistreated as a muslim, does this make him angry, does he have a history of supporting violent acts or the practice of violence among islamic extremists?
If the mosque is so important to him, why does he reject the idea of building it in a different location?
How does he feel about his wife saying Americans hate muslims (not in those exact words)?
What we DO know is he believes Americans have more muslim blood on their hands than muslims do us.
We should get to know how he feels about this! To me going around saying that we have done more damage to them than Al Qaeda and other muslim terrorists have done to us is SCARY to American people...and DISRESPECTFUL to 9/11 victims.
I simply think that as an American, I should get to know all the facts and base my choice on them.
Also, I find it unfair that because he's muslim and it's a mosque us acting any questions about it is deemed hateful, intolerant, and prejudice...we STILL deserve to know.
If 9/11 were attacked by Christians, and the main target had been muslims do you think they'd glorify us building a Christian church in the same vicinity. I highly doubt it.
No you do not have anything even remotely resembling a right.
You have an unjustified want, and this moronic sense of entitlement that most christians exhibit,
Are you a relative of a victim?
Do you sit on the city planning board?
Are you even a citizen of NY?
Show me any thing in the constitution, the bill of rights, federal or local statute, or hell even a biblical commandment that mandates that a private citizen must supply you with proof of good moral character,or ask your blessing to build any thing he desires to on his privately held property.
Further-more, the plan is not for a mosque, it is for a community center that just so happens to include a space for muslim users to practice their long held tradition of multiple, daily, prayer sessions. Which their religious customs mandate at set times, regardless, of where they maybe or what they are doing.
That is simply media generated, inflammatory propaganda, designed to heighten weak minded individuals sense of intolerance, that you have so predictably embraced.
You are simply yet another bleed heart christian, squawking a bunch of self righteous demands dictating that everyone must conform to your self perceived illusions of moral superiority.
You say that these aledged "moral inadequacies" are your reason for attempting to infringe upon the man's rights, however, you and I both know that that is a lie.
Your true motivation is your intolerance of his race,religion, which is completely at odds to your constitution, as well as your illusions of racial, religious, and moral superiority, of which I certainly beg to differ with you.
