Oh, and it's estimated that they killed 40 million of their own citizens in the mean-time.
oops!
The Russians killed 40 million of their own because of religion, must've missed that part in world history, thanks for the heads up.
This just in, facts are important when making a point.
True story.

Nah, religion has caused more death and suffering and hatred than atheism.
Chances are if you are christian, your parents told you that you were christian before you were even capable of understanding what it meant. Because it was drummed in to you at an early age it becomes near impossible to doubt it for the rest of your life.
If you were unlucky enough to have had this impressed upon you, and you actually believe in the religion you were forced to believe in as a child, try believing in a different religion. It's impossible.
For people lucky enough to be raised without religious hokum forced upon them, believing in god is as impossible as an informed choice as it is for a christian to believe that hinduism is the truth. And if you HAVE become religious of your own accord then fair enough, but you should probably try reading and thinking for yourself a bit more.

So you think that location has nothing to do with it?
You must be that pedantic to prove your 'point' that Americans are ugly bigots or something to that effect I suppose?
You think this is the only Mosque in the USA or something or even in New York?
There are lots of Mosques in New York and this is the only one that people are upset with and I guess you just think it's a coincidence.
But yes, you are right.
People opposed to the Mosque being built there are simply racists and/or bigots because of it, right?
My what a nuanced, honest and empathetic argument you have.
I just leave this here  |

Umm.. they exact same as yours?
I believe the big difference is the lack of media coverage when someone builds a mosque or Irish pub.

That's a serious extrapolation!
If there was this level of media coverage due to people building mosques and Irish clubs within a mile or two of the sites of attacks, there wouldn't be nearly as many "Irish" buildings given the IRA have perpetrated 30 or so attacks since 1970. And since the most recent attack by Islamic extremists targeted the city wide transport network, I'm fairly sure there would be fewer mosques.
It's not as if the Muslims of Manhattan are raising a plaque saying "Here we celebrate the glorious end of a handful of brave Muslim heroes" at the site of the attack.
This is also a complete non-issue, which is only being discussed because of the enormous amount of spin being put on it. An unfortunate side effect is that the global public's opinion of the American population will lower another notch.

I already understand that it is a non-issue to you.
The fact is it IS an issue to alot of people that have valid concerns about the project.
Your agreement with them or not is not needed to make their concerns valid and reasonable.

Thread has degenerated into a political/religious discussion. No real surprise there.
Locked as political and religious discussions are not permitted on the forums.
