Ground Zero Muslim Center may get public financing Oh boy, this oughta be great! I love it.
I'd also like to call attention to Metty's post, which seemed to have been overlooked, but is remarkably sensible.
From a Muslim stand point I find it unnecessary to provoke emotions of simple minded people who don't know the difference between the psychotic mass murdering extremists and our religion, this reminds me of the South Park thing even though I don't think the current situation is intentional, just inconsiderate, but basically it's an uncalled for poke at something that's healing slowly.
So I'm against it and I don't think it has anything to do with freedom, we can't freedom this and freedom that at every turn, there has to be considerations imo.
If I were affiliated with Islam, this is probably exactly what I'd think, as well.
However, I'm not and I absolutely relish the thought of antagonizing the dipshits who don't know the difference. Fuck 'em. Plus, it actually creates a damned interesting competition. We're actually going to get to watch a footrace to see who get's to blow up the other religions shrine first. I initially thought that anybody who officed in the "freedom tower" was suicidal. But at this point, I'd give pretty good odds that the Christians blow up the mosque first. What a world!
