No, it should not be built. The freedom of religion does not apply to a religion that BANS ALL freedom of religion. You cannot brutally murder your parents and then come before the judge asking for clememncy on the grounds that you are an orphan, nebbich.
No one disputes the legal right for someone to build on property that belongs to him (though in many neighborhoods there are zoning laws that restrict those rights to an extent). But we are not talking about RIGHTS, but whether or not it is RIGHT to do it.
The Muslim agenda is very clear. The fact that as soon as there was a great outcry and they did not back off, shows that the Muslims do not care one whit for the sensibilities of the people who lost loved ones, or for the rest of us who simply commiserate with the, It takes not concern of the firefighters, police, EMS workers, other medical personnell who were injured or died trying to rescue people frfom the aftermath of what these maniacs did.
I don’t even care if it is only a “small segment of the population” who are terrorists. that is baloney and we all know it. But even if that were so, none of the Imams (especially the one associated with this mosque) has ever publicly and decisively denounced Muslim terrorism. Sorry, but they have no right to shout fire metaphorically in a crowded theater.
The biggest insuklt is when people say,”Well would you have the same objection if a church or synagogue was being built there?” WHAT??? HAVE WE LOST OUR COLLECTIVE MINDS? Did a Christian or Jewish group hijack three planes and murder thousands of people in the space of a few minutes? it is not the OBJECT but the people who want to build it and gloat in what it symbolizes, that we find objectionable. This is not just flak we are giving the Imam. He has to get the message loud and clear.
