I guess that a lot of people still equate all Muslims with terrorism. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the real terrorists are using this to try to claim that Islam and the U.S. are in a holy war, and people like Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are doing the exact same thing on our side...Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639488637387728713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29021022.post-13927033294451436672010-08-22T15:37:35.419-07:002010-08-22T15:37:35.419-07:00Thanks for this post.

I have had my doubts about this controversy and have wanted the facts (but kept forgetting to look them up for myself), so it's good to know what's really going on, including the fact that it's not actually at Ground Zero. I had the feeling the arguments against it were based on fear rather than fact.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678111707440064190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29021022.post-31308178362407771542010-08-21T13:31:47.039-07:002010-08-21T13:31:47.039-07:00I'm sure you know you're preaching to the ...I'm sure you know you're preaching to the choir with this one (or, is it more accurate to say "I'm in the choir" on this one?)<br />In any case, well put. I posted the link on Facebook. Many of my friends feel this way, but I've seen a few of them join groups opposing the mosque (which, whattheheck do they think that will accomplish? but I digress) I can only hope that if enough of us speak out to the logical side of things that more folks will realize how brainwashed they have been by closed-minded 'conservative' chatterboxes.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29021022.post-32260828697391716922010-08-21T13:26:04.742-07:002010-08-21T13:26:04.742-07:00It kills me when opponents of the mosque talk abou...It kills me when opponents of the mosque talk about it as if it were built right on top of the trade center plot. Then they continue the misrepresentation by saying the property should be designated a historic site. People hear this and think, "Yeah! Ground Zero should be a historic site!"<br /><br /><i>It's not at Ground Zero.</i> The historic preservation that they're supposedly concerned about is to preserve the Italian Renaissance-style building that sits there now. It has nothing to do with 9/11, and is a completely ridiculous facade for denying people their freedom of religion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029062798989083449noreply@blogger.com
