Question

Does anyone know how many Muslims where killed in the towers or on the planes by 911?

(obviously not talking about the scum who crashed the planes into the twin towers)

Not something I could have seen Bush doing. My faith in the US is slowly being restored.

Its two blocks down the road, so not exactly on the same site (2 blocks is about 3minutes walk in NY).

I'm against the building of any religious building TBH...there's enough of them already!

Apparently a plan for permission to build an Islamic Gay and Lesbian Centre right next door to the mosque has been filed. Seems fair enough to me.

Obama's popularity has absolutely nose-dived already, and this decision is just going to make matters worse for him.

Ok you can argue Amercia is a free country, so there's no real reason why this mosque should not be built, but on the other hand the vast majority of American citizens are against it, so their views should be taken into account here.

It also highlights the problem of being a free and tolerant country - that allows intolerant groups to take root.

Relgion has no real place in a modern society (other than its past) - it's an out-dated way of thinking, and it's only going to lead to problems down the line.

I agree with this. In theory there is nothing wrong with it being built, but Americans are incredibly sensitive about 9/11 and Muslims and this can only lead to Obama's downfall.

Seems harsh as it's not being built on Ground Zero ... you can understand how the Americans may feel though so surprised that it's got the go ahead

No Muslim bashing thread would be complete without your barely disguised racist ramblings.

Where do you get the fact ' the vast majority of Americans are against it' from??

Why 'cos the US government deliberately does something to make itself look 'tolerant' and politically-correct?

'transmorgfried' - I don't know what that is, but it sounds unpleasant

Oh look everyones favourite troll has turned up.

So if you don't agree with the muslim viewpoint, then it's automatically muslim-bashing is it?! It's people like you who will lead to to the downfall of this country. You think you speak for the majority, but you speak for the PC police minority.

The most reactionary religious fundamentalists in the world already inhabit the U.S. And They're not Muslims.

That's really not true. The Whabbi are in a league of their own.

I'm reasonable certain that I've not read a single thread on here involving the Islamic faith in which you do anything other than attack, correct me if I'm wrong please

As for 'loony left', that's just a retarded comment from someone so far down the food chain they cannot begin to understand complex issues and have to reach for dumbass slogans to cover up for a fundamental lack of knowledge or insight

Well I'm pretty sure you're wrong, but I don't feel the need to hunt for evidence to correct you. It's interesting that you obviously automatically class a difference of opinion as 'an attack' however.

Having a good friend who has recently had a baby who has been found to have learning difficulties, I find your use of the term 'retarded' quite offensive. Nevertheless I'm sure you saw the article including the opinion poll results which suggest the vast majority of American's oppose the mosque-plan, which you appeared to be disputing in your earlier post.
