I'm new to the site and I thought here would be a great place to express my view on the Ground Zero Mosque debate.
Throughout the whole thing Muslims have been talking about interfaith dialog and peace and building bridges, or something along those lines.
They don't really get how offended many Americans are at the idea of an Islamic Center/Prayer center being build next to Ground Zero.
So here is a sure way to settle this debate, at least in my opinion.
Why doesn't some newspaper or website in the US publish some cartoons of Mohammed walking around the Ground Zero site.
Then we can all wait for the response from the Muslim world, to see how peaceful they really are.
Finally, I think that community building and bringing people together shouldn't be done through an Islamic center or a Jewish or Christian center for that matter.
Why not have a multi-faith center or multicultural center instead?
Let me know what you all think?
Peace!
hmmm fishing for responses?

A muist read for any GROUND ZERO MOSQUE thread.
Define “Multicultural center” please.
They can have that mosque AFTER there are Christian and Jewish Cultural Centers in Mecca.
Good point!!
how about dumping a load of bacon fat on the site?
Vanity threads are a no-no.
IBTZ.
Americans’ respect for muslimism.
From the 911 attacks through today Americans continue to accept Muslims within our country and continue to accept their mosques and their religious practices.
Muslims have a lot of nerve complaining about our wish to put that Mosque somewhere other than the 911 site. The Muslims had better worry some about wearing out their welcome here.
Just put a church the same distance from Mecca. Problem solved.
I don't think we need anymore multicultural anything.
What we need is to accept that we can be different and do our own thing--we don't need "centers" to merge faiths with clear differences.
If I recall, the backers of this disgrace have already said they are putting an "interfaith" component as part of the final plan, so I guess the planners of the mosque are already thinking along these lines.
Sometimes the right answer is just "No." No "But as a consolation prize" caving to the multiculti foolishness, which has nothing to do with respecting real differences but is about turning all beliefs into one big, mushy Oprah-esque We All REALLY Believe The Same Things When You Get Right Down To It foolishness.
Since when? lol
Utter nonsense. They understand it perfectly well.
Why not have a multi-faith center or multicultural center instead?
Because after it is built, "Multi-Faith Center" will turn out to mean "Islamic Victory Center."
NUKE MECCA !
Problem solved......
This is really a rather simple problem to understand.
The USA is kind of a big place. Even tiny NYC is a big place. Even Manhatten island is a big place.
The only thing interesting/novel about the twin towers site is its relation to 9-11.
If islam is such a “bridge building” religion - why don’t we see any bridge building going on? Where are all of the other charities etc? Where are the Imam’s calling out Hizbollah? etc. Suddenly they are going to call it “like a YMCA”? - WTF? Where are the 100 years of YMCA’s (Muslim version) that we should see dotting the country?
There is no logical reason to build a Mosque there other than to poke the US in the eye. No other logical explanation.
Frankly - “moderate” Muslims - whatever that is - because I’ve met very few (are they the ones who root for Hamas - but just don’t send them money?)- need to get this thing shut down. Because normal Americans are going to get the message loud and clear. There are no moderate Muslims.
“Moderate” Muslims have the most to lose here.
They GET IT! They understand it. That is why they intend to build the mosque. It is a VICTORY OVER THE INFIDELS mosque jusst as is Al Aksa, just as are the minarets on Hagia Sophia.
New? or perhaps naive.
A waste of good bacon fat....I vote for hog waste.
