Who Prays there? This is a Joke!

[Fundamentally Fair]

Any guesses as to why no one has ever heard about Muslims praying at the Pentagon -- let alone cared? It's almost as if the entire "ground zero mosque" controversy was whipped up out of nothing by a right-wing tabloid and politicians in search of a wedge issue ...

Comparing a place for Muslims who work at the Pentagon to pray inside the Pentagon is hardly the same as a Mosque/Cultural Center at Ground Zero.

Seems while we were focused on the problem of our borders the mosques have been gaining in strength.

[avacado]

"Muslims have been praying inside the Pentagon since Sept. 11 but right-wingers have been strangely silent "

It's the liberals who object to religion. Conservatives and normal thinking people object to the ground zero mosque for obvious reasons that are lost on the pea brain of the liberal.

I would guess that there are chapel and chaplain facilities in the Pentagon, as there are on all US military bases. There are Muslims in the armed services and they are as entitled to religious opportunities as Catholics or Baptists. So the author sarcastic outrage is entirely misplaced. Maybe they were looking to ignite a firestorm of critics of the mosque’s presence.

I dont get a place at my job to pray...why them?

[Popman]

Wow, quite the hissy fit.

A Mosque in the Pentagon is not a big deal. I think most American still believe in freedom of religion. Just don't impose your religion on me by force.

The 9/11 Mosque is an obvious attempt to slap us in the face and should not be build there, didn't say they can't build their temple of Satan, just not there

[CommieCutter]

Considering the date of 9/11/2011 is key in the construction of this project you can see why people are fired up about this.

I’ve heard, but I don’t know if it’s true or not, that the radical Muslims have a penchant for building mosques on the “sacred ground,” shall we say, of people they think they have conquered. It’s sort of like rubbing it in the “conquereds” faces.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Why didn’t anyone object to the first mosque that was built in America in 1934? It’s called the Mother Mosque and it is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

An actual mosque and a place to pray inside a building are not the same thing.

[Hot Tabasco]

Why did no one object to the "Pentagon mosque"?

First I ever heard of it newbie and now that I have, I OBJECT!

[woofie]

Why is no one upset? ....probably because no one knows about it ...as a good liberal arent you upset about mixing religion and government ...if Pat Robertson set up shop in the Pentagon would you be happy about it?
