Thoughts on the Ground Zero Mosque

I read now that you have found a voice, well I have one too and here is mine.

The issue is not with your religion it is not even with you. It is with the radicals that kill in the name of your religion. It is will the apparent complete disregard for the feelings of each person that still harbors the pain from that day. It is about the location you have chosen. If you are true in your attentions and do want to live in harmony then move the location. On top of all the crap that has been going on in the past 9 years, have enough foresight to see that it will not end well for anyone. That it will only fuel the already raging tension between our cultures. If you see no problem then let’s looks at other tasteless locations for buildings…

1. 1. Let’s put a Military installation across from the Mosque of the Prophet in Mecca
2. 2. Or build a Christian church near the Green Dome in Medina
3. 3. How about a LDS church next to The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem
4. 4. Why not build a Timothy James McVeigh Chemistry Lab across from the Oklahoma City National Memorial.
5. 5. How about a Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto naval academy in front of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam
6. 6. Or maybe a James Earl Ray school of sharpshooting just in view of the 2^nd floor balcony of room 306 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis.
7. 7. You want a great place to put an Islamic Building how about in front of the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center. Shit and that is Upper Manhattan not that far away.

If these locations were to ever think about building anything like that the implications alone would create a tremendous uproar, Especially if it was in Muslim areas. The Islamic culture would go on the offensive and scream about the disrespect and injustice that is being proposed. But when it is the Islamic culture to propose a plan in an inappropriate location suddenly it is disrespectful and an injustice to oppose. This has nothing to do with religion or culture, it has everything to do with complete disrespect. But the was that our laws are written it gives us nothing to stand on. If we are to rise up in defiance and defend our holy land we are viewed as wrong, disrespectful and intolerant Americans.

I heard that if it was known how effected the population would have been another location would have been chosen. The objections are loud and nothing is done. I also have been told that if we do not let it be done then there will be consequences. Let it be so and it will show the true nature of all our intentions.

I hear talks of tolerance no one tolerates disrespect. Instead why not talk about compassion, it works better for everyone.
