ooby_dooby: Maybe they should build the mosque. This way the new Freedom Tower will be safe from terrorists attack because they surely wouldn't want to risk this new mosque having bodies and pieces of the new building falling on it.
Better still build the Mosque and then fly a plane into it

We can send Iman Rauf to Ireland on a Muslmi outreach program and he can put up a mosque right next to the Irish blarney stone...which is in a Irish Battlement of Blarney Castle.
They should go together well. Very historically accurate and very internationally liberating.
I understand the sensitivity of this issue, but I also saw it as America's opportunity to lead - stand behind the words freedom of religion. Freedom, freedom, freedom.
there are alot of insecure people and their childness shows. Have you ever heard the quote ' if your friends jump off the bridge will you?' Didnt that christian man Jesus have something to say about 'turning the other cheek'
Leading by example, what an opportunity. Supporting what all the peacekeepers, troops and civilians have been trying to do over all these years.
Look past your safe, warm, controlled lives - embrace that this may be a global opportunity for America to lead not cower with your head in the sand.

No Ooby....I think that it is because they designed Freedom Tower buildings to better take the impact of a aircraft. Freedom Tower has been designed for such attacks. It is a statement that we will rebuild and we will meet the Islamic threat of terrorism.
President Obama said it the other day.....we can absorb another major attack....and we will be only stronger. We have re-engineered not just the Freedom Towers for such attacks. We placed new building codes on all new sky scrapers to meet such attacks.
What other country in the world did that? If they did, they ain't talking about it.

Good idea, then we'd have loads of people talking crap in the one place... we could send all the members of the Dail there too

We have not covered our heads in the sand. We have lead the world in combatting Islamic terrorism for the last decade. The rest of the world just did not like how it was implimented. So stayed home from Iraq. And took two year to send troops to Afghanistan.
Now you play these net games to see how sensitive the American people are over a mosque near Ground Zero. You find out they are. You say we stick our heads in the sand to religious tolerance and our love of freedom.
When Islam gives up Sharia Law....that brutal set of interpretative laws that stones women to death. Islam steps up to the human right standards of America. Till then Islam is in the middle ages.
So save the 'head in the stand remarks' for Muslims that still stone to death on the single fatwa of a Iman or Cleric, that give little or no chance for appeal, that place 1/2 the weight of the woman testimony to a man's testimony, that did not allow any modern foresnic evidence to enter into the court, and who did not publicly file their ruling.
When they decide to come into the 20th century.....we might find religious tolerance again.

NCC1968: I've got plenty of 'em....doesn't change the fact that the US has not been conquered. A wound is not a kill.........
Ah plenty of them. One is enough and there is enough on there about making the whole world Islamic. Convert or die is the aim, and I suppose you are making light of that too.
