I am not a fan of any religions, but for all of you defending this, ask yourself this question:
If it wasn't meant as the ultimate slap in the face, why would they be opening it on 9/11/2011 (as if the location wasn't bad enough)?
Also, do any of you not realize how Muslims everywhere will see this mosque as a monument to victory? Religion is all about symbolism, and the location and date are the ultimate symbol. They had better be careful because I would expect someone that lost loved ones in 9/11 to blow that place up - count on it. That's like spitting on the graves of every one that died there on the 10 year anniversary when emotions will be especially high. Good luck with that...

Too bad I am out of rep to give out today
So to them as far as I can tell, this is meant to serve as a sign of harmony and compassion for everyone- a message that we all need each other, not exactly a slap in the face. Which I believe is not only reasonable, but poignant if anything.
I didn't see anything about a date anywhere on their site. Even if that was the date, the same can be said that it can be seen as symbolic message for unity.
People are always quick to jump to conclusions, I think it's always worth taking both sides of the coin into consideration.
You gotta be kidding me!
This is the "harmony and compassion" you can expect as conquered people if you accept your
Dhimmitude. The symbolism of time and place is unmistakable.
Cordoba House? Named after Cordoba, the city conquered by Muslims from Christians?
Here is from About section on their website making excuses for JIHAD:
In the post-9/11 environment, some Americans tend to think of Islam as a violent creed and of those who practice jihad as terrorists by definition. Jihad, however, is a large and complicated concept, whose meaning actually boils down to the need for peaceful struggle for self-betterment—the war that we wage against the vices within ourselves—a central injunction to all Muslims. That Americans associate Islam with violence is, of course, entirely the fault of the extremists who perpetrate crimes under a false Islamic guise.
You really have to be deranged to fall for this crap. The Koran is clear that Jihad is the holy war to convert infidels.
oh you're right, apparently all the muslims in my area are practicing murder daily. Thats obviously how the theory gets applied in practice, umm, everywhere.
bull, fucking, shit.
Even if for a second we pretend that those crazies that flew the planes into represent all, the majority, or even more than just a fringe element of muslims then obviously timothy mcveigh represented all christians.
my point stands, there are a billion muslims in the world, and holding them all reasonable for what some nuts did is ridiculous. If you want to talk about "well thats what their faith preaches.." (like you have any idea outside of what you've heard from other simple minded tards) then you also have obviously never read the bible, which has already been brought up.
Have you ever gone to a mosque? No? Ok then don't tell me you know what their faith preaches from some shit you googled about the quran .
Of course fewer Muslims in US and in Europe are extremists. But Middle Eastern countries keep electing terrorists with blood on their hands who preach jihad. What happened in Gaza after Israel withdrew troops? The locals elected Hamas that started shooting rockets into Israel as a thank-you.
Even then I am willing to admit there are a lot of Muslims, even in the Middle East, who prefer peace and harmony. But it takes 1 (armed

) gunman to terrorize 100 civilians into submission, so on the balance Islamic religion is used to justify fascism, mass murder and international aggression.
Why would a billion Muslims not stop their madmen leaders? Are they afraid or are they complicit or do they support the leaders they put in power?
Instead of building a bullshit mosque on the site of 9/11 why do not they go and disarm Hamas and Hezbollah?
yes liberals = radicals = maoist = whatever allows you to not have use your brain.
No, most are just "useful idiots" for the enemies of America.
