I'd laugh my hat off. There are 22 houses in my neighbourhood, a swingset and a parking lot. That's it for a while. if they built one, they'd have to build a sewer system, a plumbing system, which means that I'd get it too. That would make me happy. But it'd be pretty cool. Our 2 stoners would hang around there 24/7, and our old lady would start calling me an infidel instead of a hooligan!
Yay, go right ahead please!

the only thing I can complaint. it's that Muslims love to fucking practice their religion around the world but they don't tolerate other religions.

I wouldn't care, tbh. They have a right to their own space to pray and hold religious gatherings, just like everyone of every other religion has.

What they don't have is a right for special treatment, e.g. if their prayer calls (or whatever they are) broke local laws/codes that stated certain areas must stay within certain sound ranges (like churches who can't ring bells because it might "disturb the peace"), and they wanted to break those codes, I say nay.

I wouldn't care, within a one mile radius around my house, there are two churches and a Jehova's Witness... church I suppose (not sure what to call them). As long as they don't bother me or anything, I'll be cool and respect their religions.

I wouldnt care. My suburb isnt that big. We're a suburb in a suburb, really. But if it was in the bigger suburb, then I might be angry if it created more traffic, which I highly doubt anyone would use it anyway. I think there is like only one on the Coast anyway.

A few years ago they built a Mosque 6 blocks away from my home (at that time I lived in another place).  First, I was like "wtf?  How come they build a Mosque here, in a Catholic country?"  Then, I never paid attention to it anymore.  In fact, I never saw anyone using the 4 blocks building.
Anyway, how would you feel if they built one in your neighborhood?
I do not want it in my country let alone my neighborhood. Islam is a religion that is 180 degrees out from what we as Americans practice morally, freely and equally.

I admit, my opinion contradicts a persons constitutional right to freedom of religion, but I feel the spirit of this assumes your freedom of religion does not hinder another persons freedoms, rights or privileges. Islam clearly does this.
Tell me how moderate or reformist Islam does this.
It is the moderates that are always offended by our way of life. It is the moderates that rioted over the cartoons. It is the moderates that ae always calling for censorship. It is the moderates that expect appeasment to accomadate them. It is this appeasment that takes away from our society as it has been established.

Those aren't moderates -- those are conservatives and extremists.  The moderates might have been offended by the cartoons, but a moderate does not react violently to a drawing.  That kind of action nullifies any sense of moderation.

I don't think you quite understand that the average Muslim isn't that different from the average Christian.  It's just the extremists and conservatives that typically make the news.  As long as a mosque isn't preaching hate, I don't have a problem with it, and I don't understand why you would.

He hasn't met a Muslim yet. When he does, I'd like him to say 'Oh, so you're a Muslim? But sorry, we don't allow Islam in America.'

I think the only problem I have with it would be some a-hole would shoot at it or break the windows because of ignorance.  I like my newscasts to be less predictable.

"You can't put a mosque there!  We are Americans dammit!"

Yeah, fuck freedom of religion you suck bag...

Would never happen where I live. . . . Too many Catholics would go apeshit!

First of all I live in one of the most expensive areas in the country (Menlo Park, CA) so building that would be a huge cost.  Not only that there arent very many Muslims where I live.  Lastly, the city of Menlo Park wouldnt put up with a terrorist shrine in our Christian community!!

Fuck Mosques and Fuck Islam! Mohammed is a false prophet and the doctrine he teaches is of hate and subjugation! We dont need that bullshit here on the Peninsula!

Hey I am all about freedom!

I am sure if the Muslims scratched enough cash together they could build their terrorist shrine. . . . . I mean mosque sorry

If they went to the city of Menlo Park and got all the right permits etc. I am sure they would be able to do it.  We dont even have a synagogue in Menlo Park, and there are way many more Jews than Muslims around here.  To be honest its mostly White people and Mexicans where I live. White people and Mexicans worship either Judism or Christianity not Islam. . . .

I already told you why I would. Your reasoning that a moderate is a moderate until he gets pissed off then he is an extremist does not wash with me. The intolerance and violence is at the core of what Islam is and I would rather they practice it back in the region they already destroyed and leave western society alone.

Seriously lowing you have some reading comprehension problems. He didn't say that a moderate is a moderate until he gets pissed. He drew the distinction at the action one takes.

Extremists tend to use violence to accomplish their goals. Moderates don't.

You don't have to search far to find muslim groups denouncing hateful imams or speaking out on violence. You won't find them on TV much because peaceable individuals trying to facilitate dialog don't rouse the rabble. Get a few unshaven goons screaming "Durka Durka, Mohammad, Jihad!" and you boost the ratings and the bottom line a little.

ya missed my point. I am saying that the Muslims that rioted over those cartoons were not considered extremists. Until that is, they bared the true meaning of their religion by engaging in the very violence that Islam endorses.
