NYers wage jihad vs. WTC mosque

I like that you think you've "countered" arguments. Your argument is that because a small group of a sect of Muslims committed an act of terrorism, we should somehow hold all Muslims responsible.

Point to where I said all Muslims are responsible. Of course you can't because I never did, not that the truth matters to you.

Their condemnation of these acts doesn't meet your ambiguous standards, so we should violate their property and 1st amendment rights.

I simply respect the victims' families who see the location as disrespectful after the largest terrorist attack on US soil in our history. Too bad you can't see their point of view or respect their opinion.

However, Christians are absolved of any responsibility for things that radical Christians have done in the past.

And I said this where? Oh that's right, you're making up your opponent's arguments again. What a shocker :roll:

Am I about right?

lol not now or ever. When you stop fabricating arguments your opponent never used we might be able to have an actual debate.

I was extrapolating because you guys do that to me all the time. You "respect the victims families" by supporting a ban on Mosques within some arbitrary distance of ground zero? How is that not punishing Muslims for the actions of a few crazy terrorists?

You guys? Can you even point to one time I did it to you?

You bet.

How is that not punishing Muslims for the actions of a few crazy terrorists?

Its exacerbating a situation that needs time to heal. There are plenty of places outside that immediate area where a Mosque would be fine but to put it so close to this area after the largest terrorist attack in history when the admitted motivation was Islam is equivilent to an attack on an abortion clinic that also killed thousands and having a church built 2 blocks away a few years later. Its disrepectful and far too painful for the families of the victims.
 
Good point. How about a church near the building that was blown up in Oklahoma City?

I said in that other thread: building a "Branch Davidian" temple across the road from the Murrah building would be in very poor taste and a bad idea.

Just like I said that this mosque was not a good idea and was going to be a problem.
 
Islam is not a united religion, it has sects, divisions, disagreements, etc that every major religion, including Christianity has. The individuals building this Mosque do not belong to a radical sect, specifically they are not Wahhabists. Osama bin Laden is a follower of the Wahhabi sect of Islam and taught that version of Islam to AQ and partly through the Taliban.

Every sect of Islam believes that sodomy and apostasy are capital offenses to be punished by death. Just which "non-radical" sect are you referring to?
 
Do they have the right to build it there? Yes. Do they have the right to have the opening day ceremonies on the ten year anniversary of 9-11 as they plan to do? Yes. That being said I find it highly offensive and would support any and all peaceful protests of this monument to a violent and oppressive ideology.
