Please point out where I personally have advocated razing a mosque. I have done no such thing. There'a difference between razing a mosque and discouraging one from being built.

Second, if most Muslims condemn terrorism, their silence regarding 9/11 has been overwhelming.

I will not, because I did not claim that you personally have advocated razing a mosque.

But that call has been made, on this thread, by more than one poster. I'm glad you disagree with it.

I have no problem with discouraging construction of a mosque in a certain location, and I have a severe problem with the virtual silence among muslim leaders regarding condemnation of terrorism.

The problem I have is with blaming all adherents of a faith for the acts of a small minority of that group, and I'll say again, down that road lay pogroms and religious persecution, and worse.

I did and make no apologies to anyone for doing so. The imams here have NOT in an organized way condemned the violence by other muslims which is clearly indicative of their tacit approval.
