So if you haven't heard about this, your head has been buried. Check it out and tell me what you think. There are lots of videos and text to help give you a good sense of what is going on in the debate. Check as many out as possible. Let me know what you think.
well, on my behalf, i don't think a mosque should be built on a ground that's 'sacred' to those who lost family there, or that's really special to most americans. to think that a mosque, a main representation of what caused tragedy for many, will be built near the memoriam of an unforgettable event is too ironic. if some muslims think that it will bring peace, it's pretty obvious that the opposite will happen. i mean sure, they can build a mosque anywhere else, because just as well as temples, churches, and worship centers, muslims have a right to mosques too.
ReplyDeleteThere really is not anything sacred about what happened there. And i understand that its apart of mosque peace treaty thing. But i have to agree with jenn she is a representation of what happened there, and shes being ignorant about the fact that thousand died there. if anyhting were to be built there is should just be a memorial. Nothing Sacred. Or Holy.
ReplyDeletejust making it clear that i'm not the one nyquasha called 'ignorant'.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the topic for this week, I was like "Oh, this is gonna be a good one". I have some strong opinions on this mosque. To me, I think this mosque would be a huge slap in the face to all of the 9/11 victims. Why? It's because they want to be a part of this community after they killed three thousand people. I don't know if they want to be a nusance to the community or something. I would agree with the woman who said this comment, "It would be a terrible mistake to destroy a 154-year-old building in order to build a monument to terrorism." It is true because that is all the mosque would be. I also think that if they DO NEED to have a representation of their sorrow (or whatever), they can have a smaller Islamic memorial. That, or they can build somewhere other that in the Manhattan area.
ReplyDeleteUm i personally do not think it matters if the masque is built two blocks away from the place where the Twin Towers where if its not rite on the place it should not matter.I think if a Baptise church or Catholic church or even a seventh day Adventist church wanted to be built two blacks away they would not have much of a problem. Just because one Islamic person choose to do something it does not mean that all the Islamic people are going to do the same thing and i think that the people should let that go yes they can remember what happend but they need to let go and let God forreal not even trying to joke,and about the 154 year old building that just silly its 154 YEARS OLD they can tear it down it does not symbolize nothing they are just trying to have an excuse. Its not like the building is getting any younger and i bet it has mold and is all crusted inside anyways.But this was a good topic like Tyler said but people really need to stop with its a secret and holy place cause if they did not know no place on earth is holy.
ReplyDeleteat the beggining i meant to put does not matter
ReplyDeleteI think that the Mosque should not be built on Ground Zero.I do not think it is beacause of the religon because if it was a Catholic,Sda,Babtist,Hindu,Jehovah Witness, or even non-denominational churches. People would still not allow or argue about placing it on Ground Zero.If i remember correctly the video said(and im paraphrasing)"That the Mosque would be about two blocks away from "Ground Zero."So that means it is not on Ground Zero. If they do build something "on" ground zero it should be a museum or a memorial for all the lives lost, so that twenty years from know our children and even our grand-children will know this important history that took place in our past.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that the mosque should be built. It is not on the exact place of Ground Zero, just close to. Yeah, maybe something like 9/11 may happen again but, not every Muslim is like that. Everyone has their own beliefs on this. I am sorry about what happened at 9/11, but I think everyone has their own rights. It is America, right? The FREE country! I liked how that Muslim girl stood up for her Religion and way of life! Thanks for posting Mr. Robison. (:
