That is exactly right. As much as I prefer for them not to build it, this is America. At least I think it is; it’s so hard to tell lately.

The whole discussion is a joke. It's private property; the owner builds what the owner wants. Period.

Cool! I'm building a combination Anthrax-lab, Nuclear Device Research Crack House Bordello there!

If muslims blew up the SLC temple and then demanded the right to build a mosque on the site, would you be in favor of it?

Interesting that if you want to rate the article the only choices are: insightful, inspirational or informative.

I guess those are really choices for instance:

insightful, yea I have insight to what a moron you are:

inspirational, yep I am inspired to work harder to stop these islamic fascists;

informative, it sure is. I have read several articles on Mormon Times about the partnering of lds with muslims, this just reinforces that.

Shilling for the killers? Do you know who the people behind this are?

NY might not care but the rest of the US does.
And we don’t want them there. It’s another inch.

If I were a NYer, I would be embarrassed to say so if they let this kick in our faces happen.

Next you’ll be saying we should adopt Mexico’s immigration laws.

“”But I also believe that all people should be allowed to worship “how, where, or what they may.””

WHERE is the answer....Preferably not in our country. I guess he doesn’t know that the Imam of that mosque has a wife who said that A PLANE crashed into a building in that area. No kidding, you freak!

Are they going to be tolerant of other religions? Nope!

Seems he left liberal MA for liberal NY. He needs to get out more!

That is their plan. All financed and paid for by the Saudis through the Muslim Brotherhood.

Uh, there is no such thing as private property. This property needs to remain on the tax rolls and the zoning should prohibit seditious uses.

A single Catholic Cathedral in Riyadh (3 or 4 stories of course) - and no worry that it would not be burned out during construction or after.

What am I thinking?? - That would never happen.

Muzzies MAY be mainstream in 3rd world cesspits, but hardly a major factor in the 1st world - at least for now.

I would suggest this twenty-something stick his nose back into the books and leave politics alone - that hasn't worked out at all well for mormons since back in the day.

Mexico’s immigration laws would be an improvement. They enforce theirs, or in the words of El President de la Mexico: “We send back them”.

No, it is a college student who is studying journalism. About par for the course.

I suggest McKay go on a missions trip to KSA. Be sure to bring along plenty of Bibles, copies of Mormon tracts, etc. I’m certain he would be met with open arms. /sarc

“”I wonder if he would change his tune if fanatical Muzzies flew a large airplane into the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City and then wanted to build a mosque next to Temple Square.””

Excellent.....

Newsweek’s McKay Coppins is saying that if Utah ends up electing a Democrat, you can “thank the Tea Party.”
