I don't believe a mosque should be allowed near Ground Zero. That is hallowed ground and those victimized by the tragedy of 9/11 shouldn't have to look at a mosque when they go to visit the memorial and the still-empty (nine years later) ground.
While we're at it...
I don't believe a Catholic church should be built within sight of a school or playground. That is an affront to those who were victimized by the child-molesting syndicate of the Catholic church. This also applies to mosques, but I don't have any evidence to back up my assertion that Muslims molest children. Yet.
I don't believe any Protestant church should be built in view of a Catholic church, or vice-versa. It's an affront to those who lived through the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Ditto to mosques.
I don't believe any Christian church should be built within sight of a women's health clinic. The congregation might be compelled to slay the unholy doctors and employees who provide abortions there and be unjustly put in jail for doing God's will. Oh, and no mosques either.
I don't believe any synagogue should be built within view of a good rib joint. I don't want a guilt trip when I go to get my BBQ on. And I DAMN sure don't want to see a mosque there, either.
I don't believe any Masonic lodges should be allowed to convene near me. They claim to believe in a "higher power", but they won't say it's the Christian God. Therefore it might not be the narrowly-defined God that justifies all of my fragile beliefs and could force me to open my mind. Also, no mosques.
I don't want any non-denominational churches being built within two miles of my house. I read online somewhere that they pass poisonous snakes around the congregation as a test of faith, and I don't want someone dropping one and it slithering into my yard and biting me while I go out to berate my landscaper for not cutting the hedges just right. It'd be almost as bad as having a mosque there.
In conclusion, there should be a panel that decides where places of worship can be constructed in America. And if this panel doesn't think a place of worship is appropriate, the plans should be killed. Yes, a sort of "death panel" of inappropiate decisions on the exercise of freedom of religion.
I think it should include Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Peter King, that fine fellow from the American Family Association, and myself. Because even though... no, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I don't live where these buildings are being planned, I grant myself the right to judge what the community will tolerate and what is appropriate in my own eyes.
And if you disagree with my personal right to decide where churches can build places of worship anywhere in America, I will call you a bigot for denying my First Amendment right to free speech. I may even make a poster of your face and draw a Hitler mustache on it.
So THERE.
