Thread Name: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
Subject: RE: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
I support the community center provided that
all paper trails are transparent and that all links to funding are public knowledge.

If the center is somehow supported in a major way by a terrorist organization or terrorist state it becomes a different issue- it is then an agent of a terrorist group and not a religious freedom issue.
So far the information is not available.

I support the center and do not much care for those who are using Tyranny of Sensitivity to try to stop something that is legal. That said it is important to realize that those practicing Tyranny of Sensitivity work on many levels.

If someone is "sensitive" they have a near legal right to ruin you. Look at use of the N word or free speech concerning race and life way issues.

In america the drill is
1. exercise free speech
2. get attacked by the sensitivity Tyrants
3. make an emotional appology and retraction "I must have been insane to exercise my free speech"
4. Loose job and never get hired again
5. Maybe get job back but not such a good one

(Google Don Imus)

So knowing this one response might be what dont the Islamic Center people understand about America. The Sensitivity Tyrants rule.
And it is consistent.

Now that said I think that the lesson here is that the Sensitivity Tyrants always need to be put down. Not just sometimes but in all instances. If it is legal to exercise free speech then it should be for everyone.

I would like Obama to make it clear that we have free speech at all levels and that it applies to every instance.

While I support free speech we must take are not to fall into the trap as did the English. Terror and warfare masqueraded under free speech until the government caught on at which time for some it was too late.

Now that would be a good outcome. I will enjoy getting lots of words back and the protection that voicing a non PC point of view wont cost me my job.
