They want to use our laws to force a Mosque be allowed 2 blocks from the 9/11 site, but they also wont come out against the practices in Islam that are against American Laws.

by these statements, i see you didn't bother to go to the links i posted that show all the islamic statements by people in this country, as well as others, who spoke out against the terrorist attacks.
as for not agreeing with their religion-so don't convert to islam. allowing that building two blocks from the tower site won't cause conversions, it doesn't break any laws, and it won't protect anyone who happens to be islam who chooses to break a law. your discomfort with their religion doesn't mean they aren't free to practice it.
our laws, our guaranteed rights are for everyone, not just those deemed popular, not just those approved with a majority. it's why free speech is allowed, not just unobjectionable free speech.
