So its not that bad yet...at least they haven't starting building Mosques on Christian graveyards yet here in the United States:

There are many mosques in NYC that the Feds do not touch.fadedsteve wrote:
Absolutely! Your telling me if this "community center" goes through, the FEDS won't be watching this place constantly?? The Imam in charge hates Jews and more or less hates America judging by his past statements! The money that is flowing in to build this "community center" is coming from questionable sources with potential terror ties. In this age of terrorism how wouldn't the authorities in NY watch this building with the utmost scrutiny!?Doctor Strangelove wrote:
Constant surveillance?fadedsteve wrote:
As much as its distasteful and tacky of these people to want to put this mosque 2 blocks from hollowed ground, they have the right to do so under our Constitution.
Now there are def questions that need to be answered namely the funding of this mosque, who's running the "show" etc. If it comes back shady and there are some questionable characters involved, then the City of NY needs to block this.
These people also have to know that this mosque will be under more scrutiny than any other mosque in the country if they decide to build there. They have to understand they will be watched by law enforcement CONSTANTLY looking for any excuse to shut them down. I personally believe its not worth it for them to build there cause families will protest, average citizens will protest and they will be under constant surveillance by the FBI and other Government agencies. It will be a nightmare!!! But knowing how stubborn people of faith can be ESPECIALLY Muslims, they probably will build this mosque despite all the protest and negative banter.
btw its been almost a year since I have posted on these forums, I just want to say its happy to be back!! - fadedsteve
Where the fuck is that coming from?
The money is coming from the co-owner of News Corp, not what I would call a terrorist.
And the authorities in NYC have no problem with the not-mosque at all. In fact, Bloomberg is probably its biggest non-Muslim supporter.
why aren't people seeing the muslim community centre and the muslim community's wishes to have a prominent place in new york society/culture as a symbol and act of solidarity against extremism? why must the far-right nutjobs see and consider every single casually practicing muslim as an inherent danger to their just and fair society? i actually think, upon consideration, that a muslim community centre near ground zero is actually a kind of noble and commendable thing. it's a symbolic sign to fundamentalism in the middle-east: 'you are not achieving anything'.

It was some imam that didn't realize that people not from NYC would get their panties up in a bunch over nothing just because the media wanted to be able to create a non-story to report on..Sup wrote:

Walked to Park51 today because I was going to shoot some pool with a friend at a bar right next to it.
From Ground Zero to the "Mosque", it took me and my group 10 minutes.
Basically, "Ground Zero" and "Mosque" are both totally completely incorrect. It's away from Ground Zero without even 1WTC (which is coming along beautifully btw) in sight. And it's NOT a mosque, it's an Islamic Cultural Center.
Went up to the people rallying for it and shook their hands telling them I supported their efforts. Great people.
Freedom Tower/One WTC is going to be beautiful. Can't wait. Stopped into the 9/11 Memorial preview center as well... it's going to be a great tribute to the victims and their families. Love the idea of the reflecting pools as well.

" Man what if people are Jewish and trying to sleep ? " Seemed self-centerd to me. But its a lota big steps up from the screaming in my opinion.
I rarely here Church bells or Mosque noise and theres a Mosque about a mile from me, and a Church about 2 miles from me. They're both equally annoying when you can here them though.

Have you ever been to NY? Not ONE person passed that camera holder, and he BLEW by people walking at rather standard New Yorker speeds. Wtf was he doing? If not one person passes you walking in New York, you're definitely trying to speed things up, no doubt...DBBrinson1 wrote:
