Not only should the church be rebuilt, but it should be rebuilt on the exact same spot.
We really miss the implications of things that we do.
Here we are moving a church from ground zero. Isn’t that a victory for Islam? Of course it is.
“Why look, we not only took out the WTC towers, but we took out a Christian church in the process, and the port authority has prevented it from being rebuilt. A victory for Alah.”
Is this the message we want to send?
Not just no, but hell no!
Agreed.
Why was this pulled off the News/ACTIVISM sidebar?
FR has the influence to make this church into every bit as big a story as the Ground Zero Mosque.
It is a perfect symmetry. We should use it.
The people in charge of the church don’t want it in the same spot; they were negotiating for a larger location in the area.
