oh and, the mosque site is two blo,ks from ground zero so who cares?
well thats redundant
Well, can't think of any examples of Christian extremists blowing up any buildings in muslim countries for terrorist purposes, so I'll work with what I've got.Bertster7 wrote:

Something like building a church on the site of a building blown up by Christian extremists within a predominantly Muslim country. That would be a valid comparison, the one you have given isn't even close to being the same, so your point about it only working one way is completely redundant.
My analogy was to illustrate a double standard, so it is completely valid.
Doesn't necessarily have to be a perfectly symmetrical analogy to apply.
My analogy uses something completely trivial but banned on the one side, further making my point.
"[...] so your point about it only working one way is completely redundant"
Yes, yes my point is completely redundant.
Goes without saying that the US and the West is far more tolerant of religious diversity than the Middle East.
Though, I think the word you were looking for might have been "invalid".

if anything the "mosque" being built there would prevent future terrorist attacks

Yeah, because you know it's going to be under 24/7 surveillance for forever. If it's as radical as people say it is, we'll get a bunch of good tips that will lead to arrestseleven bravo wrote:

Redundant because the anaolgy bears no similarities with the topic this thread is about (other than mentioning Muslims and building). Therefore the comparison is completely pointless (redundant, superfluous - take your pick (invalid is fine too, but not what I was going for)).

Only if they're not real Muslims, like the Sunni/Shia thing.11 Bravo wrote:

Or if they're not Arab Muslims, like the Iran-Iraq war.
Or if they're an ethnic minority,
or if they're being sent in as martyrs,
or if they're tribal people,
or if they're lower caste,
or if they're women,
or if they're physically or mentally damaged,
or if they've committed an offense against family honor,
or if they said the wrong thing about a powerful leader,
or if the national soccer team didn't do well in a match,
...
But if you're an upstanding, well-connected, Arab Sunni Muslim male, with no offensive political or religious views, then yes, there is a general prohibition for other upstanding, well-connected, Arab Sunni Muslim males not to kill you.
seriously, you guys are bothered by this?

1) they are doing this just to piss people off. you know and i know it. stop being douches and act like they are not doing that.
2) more churches and more religion is fail

1) Maybe - you never know though. It could equally be an attempt for them to put something positive back into the community in that area - you know what warped perspectives these religious types have.11 Bravo wrote:

2) Agree.
One more point - Kneejerk reactions are bad. Applying the same standards to everyone is good.
I will freak out if someone compared Denmark with Saudi Arabia. It is an insult!

Absolutely. They have great bacon, I bet you can't get good bacon in Saudi Arabia - or decent wine. Which makes Saudi Arabia sound like a pretty shit place to live to me....Turquoise wrote:
