Sacred ground is more easily understood by European Christians than their American counterparts. Some events are so catastrophic, or prove to be so historically significant, that they transcend the categories we normally employ to explain them. These events must reference something higher to make sense to us.
NAPLES (Catholic Online) – Muslims have it over secularists, but not Christians – at least the clear thinking ones anyway. The Muslim proposal to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero is not only an affront to all people who died there, but another chapter in a cultural jihad that seeks to replace the cultural traditions of Christendom with Sharia, the code of law derived from the Koran and from the teachings and example of Mohammed.

Build the mosque ONLY if a fully functional and freely accessible Jewish temple is built 100 feet from Mecca.
I was an AF Inspector that traveled the DEW Line from Alaska to Greenland. I know of several wanderful spots where this mosque could be built!
I think they should build it over the spot that
thousands of muslims were massacred in New York.
Oh that’s right it never happened at least not yet.
Maybe they should build one next to the school at
Beslan.
Just how many muslims died on 9-11?
More than 19?
Sorry, patience is worn rather thin with this,
daughter of a friend died at Shanksville.
Waiting for a USS.Shanksville !
It is not restricting the freedom to worship to suggest that Ground Zero is not an appropriate place to build a mosque and Muslim cultural center called “Cordoba House” (way to name it too! Thanks for leaving no doubt as to your intentions.)
Would it be intemperate to suggest that Pearl Harbor wouldn't be the ideal place for a Shinto Shrine and Japanese cultural center?
Rude to suggest that a better location could be found than Mountain Meadows as a Mormon Temple and cultural center?
How about a Russian cultural center at Katyn?
Why should we run our country by the standards of a fundamentalist theocracy? You might not like the Mosque but “there are no synagogues in Saudi Arabia ZOMG” is a stupid point to make.
There are lots of things worse in Lower Manhattan than a Muslim YMCA. This is still a free country, right?
What ever gave you that idea?
Have you been sleeping for forty years?
