Do you believe they should build the Mosque close to Ground Zero?
Why? Why Not?
What does it say about us if we do or do not let them build it?

I think they should. They have the same right as christians wanting to build a church. The idea of Mosque near ground zero does sound weird but we really cant do anything about it. Its almost ironic. I see why some people would get offended but really its no big deal, at least i don't think so. The people that don't want them to build it are just basing there opinion on stereotypes that aren't true in all muslims. like in most cases when talking about stereo types. They should just leave the muslims alone , they've been through enough trouble already. Well the good ones at least.
ReplyDeleteI think that we shold let them just because we live in a "free" country. They bought that land with there own money and we shouldn't be able to tell them what they should or shouldn't do with it. We all know that there probaly doing just to make us all mad but thats ok as all as they dont blow something up. This could as just be stereotyping just becuse there's going to be a Mosque dosen't make everyone inside of it terrorist. I think everyone should just put away there bad thoughts about them and let them be.
ReplyDeleteI think we should let them because it is a free country we have no right as in telling them not to build it maybe we could jst set there building on fire without letting any one know who dd it I wouldn't care but at the same time I think that they are doing it just to tick us off that's it they know what They are doing so that's not right for them but oh well it's ameica we always have something new everyday to entertain us. I know i would build one there so I can be known to everyone in this whole nation and I'll prob getoney off that or just get people to come to my building becuase I'll know im going to be on tv.
ReplyDeleteI believe that building a mosque near ground zero would be pretty interesting even thou that might cause a lot of religious and political problems some how.
ReplyDeleteBut yea if they don't let them that would be wack cause the term "free" would be questioned. I say go for it I'm not a church person I like seeing people fight over stupid things like this. But like cerrato say there just ganna build the tower of freedom and put a big American flag on top that would just make this country look stupid,why should we build this so they can blow it off in a couple of years. So in my point of view let the mosque be build any one can practice there religion and it might also make a great tourist point after all there goin to make money off of it.

ReplyDeleteLike they said before its a free country they can do what they wont i will like to go to a church in ground zero it will be intersting to go to a church like that and i like going to chuch no i dont im just playing. THey will probobly just noked it down or put a bomb inside it or some terest are goigng to nock it down i realy dont care if they put a belding but the most probobly thing that is going to happen is that they are goign to nock it down and alout of people are goign to die
I do not believe they should be allowed to build the mosque on ground zero. Yes, i do understand it is a free country, and every american has that right to practice freely in there religion. But they must do it in a private manner and it can not affect others. Building the mosque will probably corrupt others, those who dislike the idea. We are having problems with islamic with the terroist acts and believe i believe they should practice where they have been.
ReplyDeleteYes they should be able to practice there religion, but they should not have to build an entire mosque. They have been practicing there religion eleswhere and they should continue do so.
ReplyDeleteI dont think we should let them build it. yes it's their freedom of religion but they can build it somewhere else, not were so many people died at the hands of the muslim people. of course not all muslims are like this but I think it would be kind of disrespectful if they were to build a mosque there. It's the same thing if they built an amusement park or something right on top of were so many people died, it's disrespectful. Maybe if it was a memorial mosque it might have more significance and respect to it but I highly doubt the people of the U. S. will think so. If they built a mosque there it would also cause controversy people could burn it down and vandalize it and then what? But then again that could happen to any church, but more likely to one in the middle of ground zero.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that this is a free country, and they should be allowed to build a Mosque. However, to build it next to ground zero is pushing it to the limit. Being American also mean respecting others and taking into consideration each others feelings. It would be telling the terrorists that we accept muslims even though they caused so much terror to other. This might be taken as an invitation to further terrorize us because they want us to fear them. I believe the building of a Mosque would be showing all muslims here in America are seen as equal, but it should be done some distance from ground zero. Shouldn't we be questioning why they would want to build it so close in the first place? Do they not have any respect for those families broken apart, and all those lives lost?
ReplyDeleteI think the mosque should be build, it's a free country and American citizens all no matter what race have freedom of religion. No one should be taken of their rights based on what race they are. Or the problems people in that race have caused such as the terroist acts and threats against the United States. Of course it could be awkward because it might be built near ground zero. But I think they should be allowed to buy the space if they bought it fair and square. If anything they would be watched by many onlookers so if anything does happen we could act immediatly. Including any other religion out there. The mosque should be built, because we live in a free country!
ReplyDeleteWhat i think is that the mosque should be built next to ground zero because they have as much right to do so as to anyone in the country. No one should be limited to do anything by there religion or race.Yes it would be awkward but people make false assumptions that arent true in all muslims. They should have the right to built the mosque no matter what..
