Islamic Mosque near Ground Zero
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38538068...ife/?GT1=43001
Apparently a group in New York wants to convert property near Ground Zero into an Islamic Mosque & Community Center.
What does everyone think about this happening?

Ground Zero should only be used as a memorial for the fallen... Anything outside of ground zero is free game and no matter how personally against it someone is, it's a free country and that's what makes America a great country. Ground Zero though, that was the site of something so big that it sent shockwaves around the world, and then some... It should def be dedicated to a memorial, and ONLY a memorial.

The islamic religion is even worse than the christians and catholics. It breeds off fear in **** areas similar to how adolf and Stalin were accepted.
I hate this idea that organized religion is hands off no one can speak poorly about it. **** em all!
it'll never happen
Is this an attempt at appeasing terrorists? sure seems like it.

Why the hell is this even being brought up? I bet whoever thought of it wanted media coverage.

You gotta be kidding me.
Guess what, theres already a mosque there, and its even closer to ground zero. AND it was there BEFORE 9/11. Its been there for 28 YEARS and since 9/11 has been nearly harassed out of the city.

And yes there were muslim residents of NYC that went to this mosque that were also killed in the WTC attack. Yes believe it or not, not all muslims are terrorists (WHA?!?!) and there were devout peaceful muslims that were killed by terrorist that day too.
This whole thing is a non-issue thats being exploited for its emotional shock value. People need to stop being to easily manipulated by fear, it really scares me to see the way this country is headed.

Like I said, the actual site of the attacks, GROUND ZERO should be used for a memorial, anything outside of that zone can be used for anything they want, it's a free country, remember? NYC is a crammed place and there are a lot of mosques there, lots of muslims, and a lot of those muslims were killed or at least injured in the attacks. The terrorists didnt care who was hurt as long as they were Americans. If you're a Muslim American who is pro-America, you are the enemy to them.

Personally I don't think it is a smart idea. A lot of people talk like they know but I grew up about a mile away from the World Trade and my mom still lives there. I lost friends and family that day. It's a sore subject and regardless of whether or not other Muslims that lost their lives that day or not it doesn't sit well with me to build there.
Could be me though...
