[WAR] so let's talk about this mosque in New York

[RobinStarwing]

I think you all missed my point. I am not against or for this center. I support the right for someone to build it for the reasons it is built. I am just saying that the man behind it should of thought a bit more about the possible public response to the building.

Taking words out of context is half the reason we end up with arguments like the one over this building project in this country.

For New York City, 9/11 is still a fresh wound as many of them can remember days of seeing the WTC Towers and now they can't and that is a stark reminder to them of not just the loss, but of who was behind it. For many there, I can imagine this is like putting salt in that wound.

Fear is part of that wound and they need to get it out and deal with it on their own terms. Judging them for their response as Un-American is very Un-American. They have the right to their feelings. The only ones who I am concerned about are the Fearmongers using this to fuel the propoganda that keeps the hate on both sides going.
