Isn’t it a double standard with Muslims in
general?

Would they allow us to build a Catholic church in
Saudi Arabia? In Turkey they are harassing the
Orthidox church which has been a part of their
history and culture for over 1000 years.

Give me a break. Muslims don’t practice what they
preach and when the first time they preach hatred
at this place in NY I hope they get shut down.

Islam is not just a religion, it is also a legal and a politcal system. Whatever one may think of Islam’s spiritual tenets, the part about establishing an Islamic state and imposing Sharia law is completely incompatible with our core values as enumerated in the U.S. Constitution.

Religious tolerance is a core American value, but tolerating a fascisitc, totalitarian ideology is just stupid. The ADL is racist front group – to hell with them. But to hell with this idea of building this, or any other mosque in America.

My thanks to Jim Lobe for the article and the recommendation of the extraordinarily well-made and thought-provokiing documentary.
Thanks also to Dikerson3870 for the links to the said documentary.

I’m not in favor of building churches or mosques anywhere, especially since these types of buildings are no longer beautiful in the architectural sense. But your point is irrefutable. Why can’t a Muslim community center be built on the site? To aver otherwise is to besmirch Muslims generally. Surely Foxman knows where that road leads?

I like RT Carpenter’s comment above. This is the type of commentary one likes to see here.

How about imposing a moratorium on building Catholic Churches in Oklahoma City, since Timothy McVeigh was a born Catholic? Maybe we should have removed all synagogues from the neighborhood around 17Th Street in Santa Ana, CA after members of the Jewish Defense League (JDL) murdered the American Alex Odeh. How about demolishing all Christian Churches all over the Arab Worlds, after George Bush used lies and deception to invade Iraq; murdering over a million Iraqis? Maybe we should take out all the remaining Synagogues in the Arab World, for the ongoing Israeli genocide against the Palestinians.

For hypocrites like Foxman, the victims have always to be Jewish before it registers. It is, however, not always Foxman’s fault. Foxman’s ass-kissers in our Congress and the mainstream media never dare to question his glaring deception.

The proposed community center and mosque is not at the site of the former World Trade Center. It is two blocks away.

A major step into the wrong direction by ADL. Your cry against discrimination towards Jewish all through the Europe and Ameria is in the dustrbin today. Stop whinning again. How on earth of building a religious site of any religion is hurting the feelings of the victims. I don’t get it. I don’t understand it. By raising such cries, we are blaming a whole community for the 9/11. That is not acceptable. How much have we spent on 9/11 commission, 6 million!!!!! That is not a start-up cost even. We need a billion dollar project to investigate who was behind 9/11. Where is the open society by the way. Where is the freedom of speech.

I am really tired of war. I served in Korea (after the war) and Viet Nam (during the war). America’s presence in Korea after 60 years has contributed to this ongoing disaster. I see a similar disaster in the Mideast. If America had stayed out of this mess, 9/11 might never have happened, and Israel would have by now reached some accomodation with its neighbors. Now, you see the forces building to attack Iran, or support Israel if it decides on such agression. Iran does not pose a threat to America. If Israel decides it is threatened, then at least we should stay out, and clearly announce our intention to do so.

“The Muslim community has an equal right to build a community center wherever it is legal to do so.” Yes they have the right to follow the letter of the law but they might find it in their heart to be a little more sensitive to the issues they are fomenting.

“It causes some people pain to see Jews operating small businesses in non-Jewish neighborhoods…etc,etc.”

These ludicrous comparisons are nothing at all considering what happened on 9/11.

I am all for Muslims building their mosques but you’d think they would show some consideration. Instead they choose, purposely or not, to aggravate the situation. How insensitive. This is why I despise all religions to begin with.
