I just went straight to the end of the thread and posted. ;D I figured at least 3 of the pages would be filled with angry bigots trying to justify their narrow-mindedness by propping up lazy arguments that weakly attempt to disguise abridgements of the constitution.
For example: "I'm not against their constitutional right, I just think they're doing it for the wrong reasons." So I decided to skip all of those, pass go and collect $200 right away.

Bunch of idiots posting here. Its not ON ground zero, or AT ground zero. AND, this is America, you can build things, regardless of what you preach. Should we disallow churches to be built near ground zero too? See where I'm going? Idiots.

I think they have an absolute right to build...but that does not mean that they should. Out of sensitivity for Americans who might be offended they should be good neighbors and move elsewhere to show their over the top effort to improve relations...
I would said the same thing if someone wanted to build a church near the site of a bombed abortion clinic...it's just a way of building good will rather than testing it. As for the violent biblical references, they are not the same as the Koran has. The violence of the old testament was done at a specific time and that context is over now. The gospel doesn't instruct Christians to be violent in the present tense. The Koran does. That's why there are entire countries of Muslims that believe and hope for demise of non Muslim states. I am not saying that there are not radicals who will and have done extremely violent acts in the name their faith (including Christianity). I am saying that in the middle east there are many violent Muslims who believe their faith has called them to take part in very violent things. This is very asymmetric when you hold it up next to radical Christians. Let me know the next time a Christian cuts a mans head off on camera while praying and chanting and puts it o. YouTube. It is not comparable with anything in the Christian faith. Again, I have said that American Islam is very different from the doctrine grown in the middle east. I have also said that American Islam is a beautiful and peaceful faith. American Muslims need to reject the faith that has corrupted the middle east and stop pretending that it doesn't exist or dismissing it by saying "all faiths have their fanatics.". | ||

[QUOTE=Enderenter;132218]To say that there are entire countries that believe and hope for the demise of others is an absurd generalization, you do realize that don't you?
I didn't say every person in the country. But there are entire states (Iran for example) that are Muslim Theocracies that have called for destruction on non-muslim states. Give me a modern example of a Christian theocracy that is doing this. | ||
