Here are some issues that i'm trying to sort out:
1. seems like Muslims who have more than a 4th grade education will readily dismiss this mosque, support of 9/11, assholes like bin laden and aquavelvajad, etc.
2. they will not do it in public (muslims don't really have a universal spokesman / leader , a Pope figure, i guess an ayatollah would be close, but most people outside of Iran don't give a shit about them)
3. if the city of new york is so opposed to the mosque building, they can certainly stop it. the constitution does not promise the freedom of speech or religion, it just states that government cannot ban or prohibit free speech or religion; it doesn't say anything about free practice or banning of by others. a loop hole can be found here for sure
4. obama's a fucking idiot for backing it up. he has no right to express opinion either way; as president, he has no say in religious expression
5. the government cannot prevent the mosque being built in the very center of ground zero even; but the people behind the mosque can, as i honestly believe it's an act of war and in poor taste to build it so close (due to refusal to relocate)
6. i realize america's a christian country with christian ideologies; it should have every right to ban the spread of islam, i'm not sure where these people (mostly mid 20's libs) get off on saying they have a "right" to build a mosque. no one has a right to shit.
