The Muslim community center is neither a mosque nor at ground zero. There, I fixed it, and as to the "Muslim Community Center", that remains to be seen... While it does seem that it will be a Muslim Community Center, what does it matter if it is a mosque. This group is considered a moderate Muslim community. As a society We need to encourage improved relationships with Moderate Muslims. Their are approximately 7 billion Muslim in the world. The vast majority, especially in the US, want nothing to do with violence or terrorism. They want to take care of their family, enjoy life, practice their religion and live in peace. The more we encourage improved relationship with Muslims, Muslim Communities and Muslim Countries the safer and more secure the US will be. The anti Muslim sentiment around the world reminds me of the anti Catholic and anti Jew sentiment that was and in certain parts of the world still very common. If the Jews held all Christian responsible for the actions of some Christians (at times the majority of Christians) we would have to worry about both Jewish and Muslim terrorist. As Rodney King said "Can't we all just get along". Can you imagine what would happen if the Native Americans wanted to hold all Europeans responsible for the historical terrorism committed by Europeans through out history. Our founding fathers were very amendment that they believed America should be a land where all religions are welcomed, and we should have freedom of religion and even freedom not to have any religion. Many of our founding fathers were agnostic or deist. OH THE CHILDREN, WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN??? AND OLD PEOPLE, AND PUPPY DOGS... WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. Do you know how inhabited body bag "world trade center #0001" ?? Do ya'? Just sayin' Either way, find another soap box to spew your hate... What hate are you talking about? I am praising the Jews and Native Americans for not holding all Christians responsible for actions of the past. I am not holding any group, including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Africans, Asians and Europeans up to any higher or lower standard than any other group. Since you agree with this and don't believe anyone should be biased against another group, why are you freaking out? My position really is a moderate position. I am not suggestion will give any minority any more rights that the majority. He's freaking out because he's a freak. He hates everyone, apparently, who doesn't believe in the Astroturf version of the world that he's been spoof fed. |

In , says... Fredom of religion, not freedom from religion. The first amendment doesn't give you the ability to regulate my religion. If you want to get into defining what a religion is then we can take the discussion in that direction. I agree completely with everything you said in the paragraph above. The Founding Fathers did want people to be able to practice the religion of their choice, but were emphatic that they did not want the government to be involved in endorsing any religion. So many of the early colonies were established because of Europeans having state sponsored religion. I am Catholic, in the not too distant past Catholics were not considered Christians and many people called them "Papist" who could not be a good Americans because they were loyal to the pope. The article from Wikipedia discusses the history of "papist", but even when Kennedy was running for president his detractors was calling him a Papist. The KKK called Catholics Papist and Jew's Christ Killers. We don't want to return to a period where the majority religion can restrict the minorities ability to practice the religion of their choice, or the Catholics and Jews would not be tolerated by many in the majority. from Wikipedia Papist is a term, usually disparaging or an anti-Catholic slur, referring to the Catholic Church, its teaching, practices or adherents. It was coined during the English Reformation to denote a Christian whose loyalties were to the Pope, rather than to the Church of England. Over time, however, it came to mean one who supported Papal authority over all Christians and thus became a popular term, especially among Anglicans and Presbyterians. The word, dating from 1534, derives via Middle French from Latin papa, meaning "Pope".[2] The word was in common use until the mid-nineteenth century, as shown by its frequent appearance in Macaulay's History of England from the Accession of James II and in other historical or controversial works of that period. It also appeared frequently in the compound form "Crypto-Papist".[3][4][5] |

As Rodney King said "Can't we all just get along". You are completely missing the point, being paranoid. My problem is with bloomberg, bloomberg supports some religious activity, but not others. He is allowing Politicians to the ceremony, not Firefighters, Clergy and Police. It is my opinion he makes these judgements and decisions with nothing but politics in mind. It seems to be a pattern with bloomberg, and has nothing to do in my mind with what you are assuming a problem you think I have with "the Muslim community".. I guarantee my personal feelings on the Community Center are not what you think... There were many Muslims who were killed in the WTC. Can you imagine the uproar if a Muslim was allowed to lead a prayer? It seems that Bloomberg's decision to focus on the families of those killed was a very prudent and reasonable decision. from the AP The mayor's office says the annual event focuses on relatives of Sept. 11 victims and has never included clergy invocations. Bloomberg has said it would be impossible to include everyone who would like to participate. Evelyn Erskine, a Bloomberg spokeswoman, said the program was designed in coordination with 9/11 families and included readings that were "spiritual and personal in nature." Six moments of silence were planned for personal reflection and prayer. Police and fire chaplains who work with the 9/11 families will attend. "Rather than have disagreements over which religious leaders participate, we would like to keep the focus of our commemoration ceremony on the family members of those who died," Erskine said. Several New York religious leaders say they understand the mayor's position. They point to the multitude of religious events surrounding the anniversary as evidence faith isn't being overlooked. "I just think a decision was made to give priority to the families. If this means more families will be attending, I think all of us can accept that," said Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis. |
