Thread Name: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
Subject: RE: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
What people forget is that there were innocent Moslems who died in the world trade centre.

I think the 99.999999999999% of Moslems who aren't terrorists have an equal right to mourn this tragedy and have somewhere to go to pray for the dead.

If Ground Zero is a cemetery then it is a multi faith cemetery including Islam.

Having a different law for Moslems means Discrimination on grounds of religion.


I note that "impartial" and "objective" keith is very quick to back up the case against the Moslems.



There is another interesting perspective of course ...

... It seems that the Simon Weisenthal foundations Director Marvin Hier has been very vocal on this issue on Fox TV expressing "his opposition to the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan, because the site of the 9/11 attack "is a cemetery."",

... yet simultaneously, the same foundation is behind the desecration of "some 1,500 Muslim graves [which] have been cleared in several nighttime operations to make way for…..a $100 million Museum of Tolerance and Human Dignity"

Ironic
