There is a difference between freedom of religion and shoving your beliefs down the throats of your fellow Americans in spite of shared concerns. Sometimes when we build temples, we change the location due to overt and legitimate concerns of the community. This doesn't take anything away from our religion. A structure is still built, just in a better local for all parties concerned.

The mosque situation is not about freedom, it's about a shrine to the ideologies that led to the events that happened in that location.

God told Hagar and Abraham both that Ishmael would be a “great nation.” That doesn't mean they always would remain so. They didn't, but they are still God's children, and yes, they have freedom of religion also. What they DO NOT have is the freedom to throw it in the faces if all Americans.

I'm just saying...

I agree with you 100% and you say it much better than I.
