Here ya go, Dell. Took about 2 seconds. I count 15 mosques. Wow! That's sorta equal to the 15 "churches" of various denominations I got on another search that took about 2 seconds.
Freedom of religion. It's a great thing about America. http://indyposted.com/37871/mosque-n...isting-mosque/ |

On Saturday, the president said, "I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque" near Ground Zero, he told reporters during a visit to the Gulf Coast. "I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...toWhatsNewsTop |
Even Harry Reid is against them building the mosque:

this is EXACTLY what i mean when i say it has nothing to do with religion:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38733523...deastn_africa/ they are terrorists first, last and always. killing fellow muslims is a sure sign that they are not motivated by religion. they are motivated by hate. we weren't attacked here because of a differing religion, but because they hate us. not because many here are christians, but because we're americans, because of what we stand for. after all, we have every religion known to man being practiced in this country. |

but look, eleven pages on this thread that has everyone saying they know this group has every right, but still...and no talk of the economy or the jobless rate, or whether we should have a troop surge in afganistan, or anything else that actually has an impact on our daily lives, unlike this planned mosque. |

from the washington post:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...rss=rss_nation Religious tolerance, then and now Debating the Ground Zero mosque on the streets of D.C. By Dana Milbank Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, August 17, 2010 "To bigotry no sanction." -- George Washington "Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate." -- Sarah Palin Two hundred twenty years ago today, the Jews of Newport, R.I., wrote a proclamation for President George Washington on his visit to their synagogue the next day. "Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of free Citizens," the Jews wrote to their famous visitor, we now "behold a Government, erected by the Majesty of the People . . . generously affording to All liberty of conscience, and immunities of Citizenship: deeming every one, of whatever Nation, tongue, or language, equal parts of the great governmental Machine." Washington's reply the next day, a simple letter titled "To the Hebrew Congregation in Newport," set a standard for religious tolerance that guided the nation through two centuries. Here is that message in its entirety -- along with some alternative thoughts on the topic occasioned by the proposed mosque near Ground Zero: this point is ridiculous: "There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over. . . . Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust museum in Washington." -- Newt Gingrich so, newt, we are to act, base our laws, change our beliefs, because of saudi arabia? there is a reason so many want to come here, live here-it's because of our freedoms that aren't available elsewhere. again, good people do not change how they are, act, believe, based on bad actions of others. how can we try to prevail upon saudi arabia to grant freedoms, if we do not? we set examples, we don't follow others bad ones. standing up for an unpopular minority and their rights isn't an indication of weakness, but of strength and a belief in our ideals. |

no I dont believe Americans should stop this mosque from being built. Yes, it is unconstitutional. I would hope to believe that the Iman or whatever he's called, would have enough decency and respect to realize its a sensitive subject, and not try to build there. Is that too much to ask? A little human decency from our Muslim brother? |

America taking away Sadam (may his soul rot in hell) paved the way for increase violence between the Sunni's & Shiites because Sadam just scared everyone into submission. The hate between the Shiites and Sunnis goes back to the 600's when some Shiite killed some Sunni big guy (or vice versa) & Remember Saddam's wasnt particularly nice to the Kurds (though I will admit that had to do more with power than religion.. though he did single out the Sunni Muslim, non-arab base (Kurds). |
I think building a mosque there is a terrible idea.
But then again, I'm actually annoyed any time anybody builds a mosque anywhere. Of course, the same is true for a Roman Catholic church, a Protestant church, or a Jewish synagogue. Rank ignorance and devotion to superstition annoys me...in all of its forms. |
This time I'll put my faith in the hands of NYC Ironworkers who hopefully won't lift a finger for this project.

Why you and others continue to insist that there is no link between the muslim religion and terrorism is baffling. Saying that doesn't mean that all muslims are terrorists but a certain element of the religion is not only killing in the name of their god but glorifyfing it and many muslim clerics that are somehow considered "mainstream" often say the terrorism is justified. |

when criminals commit crimes, some attempt to justify it. others don't bother. now, you and i, as well as most on here, can't imagine doing what these guys are-mass killings, suicide bombings, etc. yet bin laden has found a few others who think as he does, much like hitler surrounded himself with like-minded cronies, as did stalin...we don't get it, it makes no sense. but then, i can't imagine having ever been a kamikaze pilot either. now, bin laden has chosen to justify his actions, much like hitler did before. hitler was preaching a strong germany, a return to greatness. bin laden wants power, and all that goes with it-he has chosen to justify his criminal acts by twisting some verses in the koran to suit his needs. if a guy beats his wife, he can find a verse in the bible to justify it. does he beat his wife because the bible said so? no, but it's an excuse, and one that many may not be able to repudiate, because how many can really quote the bible chapter and verse? however, just like one can justify staying peaceful by saying 'turn the other cheek', someone else can say 'no, an eye for an eye'. bin laden is a monster, a killer. we wonder what induces people to do horrible things-in this guys case, we think we have an answer-his religion. but their are billions of people who are of the same religion-yet the vast majority are peaceful people. i'm saying we may never really know why he does what he does. it's obvious that we, and anyone who agrees with us (like the iraq army recruits killed overnite) are his targets. he doesn't care what religion we are-he just hates us. do you really think he would agree with that mosque in new york? no, he wouldn't. he doesn't want peace and harmony, he wants death and destruction. that's not religion. |

and they are also haters first, last and always. it's a shame a few supposed religious leaders use that as the basis for doing evil. but we have to understand that most muslims do not agree with bin laden and his followers-it's not terrorists wanting to build a center in new york. and yes, they do try to blur the lines; we have to be smarter than to fall for it. i was listening to a radio show on the way home tonite that was discussing the proposed center. a caller was put on the line, someone who lost a brother who worked in one of the towers on 9-11. he supports the new building, is not a muslim, but knows of this group and their work over the years in that area of the city. he made some great points; i wish everyone who is up in arms about this could have heard him. i just don't want us to repay hate from some with hate to others-the people involved aren't wishing anyone harm at all, they have no ill-will, but are being given plenty in return. this country is the most diverse in population, culture, religion-we can't be divisive, we've got to find common ground against an enemy of everyone who lives in this country, including the muslim citizens. those terrorists didn't care who each person was, they just wanted to attack america, kill americans. if they only wanted to kill those of a separate religion, they'd have attacked houses of worship. |
Is it me?
It's them....right? |

He's not nearly as popular any more, probably because he's been killing too many Muslims lately and not enough Americans. Anyway, to act like Bin-Laden was not an extremely popular figure in the Muslim world is a complete lie. |
Now it's starting to look like they may not build the mosque there after all.

http://www.time.com/time/nation/prin...109478,00.html The key part with regards to religion: TIME: Are you religious? MCVEIGH: I was raised Catholic. I was confirmed Catholic (received the sacrament of confirmation). Through my military years, I sort of lost touch with the religion. I never really picked it up, however I do maintain core beliefs. TIME: Do you believe in God? MCVEIGH: I do believe in a God, yes. But that's as far as I want to discuss. If I get too detailed on some things that are personal like that, it gives people an easier way alienate themselves from me and that's all they are looking for now. Yep....that's some atheist. :rolleyes: |
