I'm not shouting although I'd like to. The reason I capitalized World is because all the anti-mosqueteers are trying to make this an American issue. The WORLD Trade Center was attacked not the USA Trade Center
The rhetoric of the crazies that say a mosque shouldn't be built near "ground zero" is insane and fallacious.
Rush Limbaugh is leading the pack with analogies. We wouldn't build a Shinto (I know he said Hindu first) temple near Pearl Harbor. First of all, Pearl Harbor was a GOVERNMENT military facility, not a private building. I haven't done my homework on exactly who owned the WTC, but I'd be shocked if it was owned by Americans only.
My favorite facts about the area surrounding the WTC are:
- There's a mosque 4 blocks from the site that pre-dates the WTC
- There's a sex shop within a couple of blocks
Trying to make Islam responsible for attacking the WTC is plain absurd. The politics surrounding this "controversy" are insane. The funniest part is that the very people who say Obama and the dems are subverting the Constitution are actually promoting subversion of the Constitution. In psychology, I believe it's called projection!!
