Lets see. Fair is fair so when will we be aloud to build a church or synagogue in Saudi Arabia???? Nope can,t do it.
How about a Buddhist temple??? Nope can,t do it.
How about any other religious group that i can,t think of at the moment.??? Nope can,t do it.

For those that don,t think the above is relevant why don,t we just ask the nicer Muslims to catch the bad Muslims both in our country and the rest of the world.
Sure would make me feel a lot better knowing Muslims disproved the actions of a few enough to capture there own religious kind.
Iwould like to live in peace,wouldn't you???

Islam is no different than any other organized religion. Believe as we do or we'll kill your body.

but we're not them! We dont live in a religious led country, We have laws and rights they do not. And if you read up, many Muslims disprove the actions of 9/11, including the imam building the mosque!!!
That said - we worry so much about winning the hearts and minds of muslims, moving the mosque would go a long way in winning the hearts and minds of Americans. I dont see them budging which is a lost opportunity.

Screw the Americans. Let's make everyone else happy and comfortable.


My opinion is that they should be able to build their mosque. Then, someone should put a Hooters directly across the street from it. Even better, have outdoor seating at the Hooters so everyone coming and going can see the waitresses during the warmer months. What the hell, it's a free country.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
