why does it HAVE to be there?????why not six blocks away? new york is a big city, there is nowhere in the entire city to build it? the damn governor is trying to give land to build on and they say no...
your always talking of tolerance and such, where is the muslim tolerance?

I do agree with some of that harmony...Yes westerners can be just as evil, crooked, and ruthless as anyone. Yes we have crooks and criminals...but we have our eye on ours..theirs are running rampant. And say what you want about muslims...but fact is fact....their bible or koran says death to the infidels....which is us...read it. And most important mam...our criminals don't drive planes in to their buildings...or strap tnt to ourselves and kill people. And lets not forget, we don't broadcast us murdering people on the net. I understand full well the ethnic differences and all of that, but I just feel like the line of diplomacy has been crossed. We are quite simply pandering to them at this point. As I have said before, it isn't the mosque being built that bothers me....it is ONLY the location. It defies the very fibre in which YOUR country was built. Yes they have a right to their way of life....but in their land. When we go there we must obey their laws and rituals....when here they rape our land. They take advantage of your American Constitution. Freedom of religious expression I believe??? The next question you must ask yourself is how many of these people are actually citizens of the U.S? In Canada, our Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Canada's version of a Constitution) applies only to Canadian citizens. If you are not a Canadian certain things don't apply to you. But we still give these people free health care....explain to me how this is fair.

" ... we dont fly planes into buildings , we just drop bombs

we dont strap bombs on and include our own life in the carnage,,,we BRAVELY do it from behind camoflauge,,,

OUR country was built upon alot of things good and bad, and we are NOT above the same scrutiny we impose on others

if the innocent deaths some muslims have caused is reason enough for westerners to defile and demonize all of Islam

than the innocent deaths some christians have caused is reason enough for some middle easterners to defile and demonize Christianity

but pride comes before a great fall and there is plenty of false and unearned pride on both sides here,, ... "

Hunh! Where's all that 'tolerance' that's preachified so often here ... ?

Looks like a one-way ride to Islamdom ... sorry, y' gotta ride by yourself.

dropping bombs is called a conventional war my dear...the kind that has been fought for almost a century. Now you are in my area of expertise.....These people dress as civilians, and try to attack us...so there goes your camo point.... and they drop bombs to, they just highjacked a plane of OURS to do it. and fyi...islam has hated us for thousands of years my dear...the fact that you dont know these things just tells me that there are many facts that you are un aware of...I believe you are confusing your opinions with facts...how tolerant and accomadating do we have to be here?? In Christian history we have done many evil things...absolutely!!! but like I said....you are missing loads of facts here.

I am not the only one

I am sure the only civilians dying arend doing so because they were mistaken for combatants and people dont react well when those they LOVE are killed,, whatever excuse the one who took their lives gives

Im sorry , I appreciate the harms way that soldiers put themself in,, but it is the governments who put them there through their policy and their ego, not any religion.

the reply was the same as that of pearl harbour my dear....you bomb us...we will decimate you. You are an extremely compassionate lady based on what I'm reading...and it is commendable...but we cant afford to be that silly. And thats just it....we cant even send over non combatants without them getting killed....reporters too.......how do you get mistaken for a soldier??? you either are armed to the teeth like me or you arn't. NO in between. They target these people. I HAVE SEEN IT!!!! AND FOUGHT AGAINST IT!

my dear you are terribly mis informed...as i say....you are confusing your opinions with fact based information.

Umm ... no. There is NO 'fact-based information' in those responses ... it's all emotion.

EXACTLY!!! you are preaching peace and no killing....we hear you and wish the same.....they dont. And thinking with your heart in my situation would get me killed. The bible says an eye for an eye....but it also said turn the other cheek.....we've run out of cheeks......

and that sentiment is just as good for them as it is for us (whomever 'THEM' is at the moment)

says you,,,

not exactly hun...we didnt draw first blood this time. And I say this time because I wont deny the mistakes we have all made in the past. The difference is the steps we are taking.

who says we didnt draw first blood? we didnt support the israelis in their invasions and attacks in Israel and Lebanon?

like I said, an endless debate, because each side will insist THEIR retaliation is justified and the others actions are just 100% unwarranted(regardless of what the history has actually been)
