You guys are saying that having the Islamic city center 2 blocks away is disrespectful. But just down the block there is a strip club. Don't you think that is much more inappropriate than an islamic city centre.

You guys have many senators on your side and thats great. But Obama says "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Barack Obama. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." Barack Obama. Everything Obama says has hard facts in it and he uses to the law to back him up. "President Obama is wrong," said Rep. Peter King, whose district is on Long Island, N.Y. "It's insensitive and uncaring for the Muslim community to build a mosque in the shadow of ground zero." He is the senator of NY Long Island and he just uses how he feels to dispute Obamas quote.

Whether its 2 blocks or 10 blocks once they see it wont it bring up bad memories?

The people he were the cause of the 9/11. Claimed to be muslims but where just extremists. In the Quran Muslims holy book, what we live by claims “Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors. And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.” (2:190-191)

As stated it says and do not fight them at al-masjid. Al-masjid means mosque or place of worship. There was clearly a Muslim prayer room located on the 17th floor of Two World Trade Center (the South Tower).

There was a Muslim prayer room located on the 17th floor of Two World Trade Center (the South Tower). Since the crash no other Mosques or places of worship for muslims have been built. This will just be replacing it. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/11/nyregion/11religion.html

Muslims have the same right to build a house of worship in Lower Manhattan and to pray for the victims of 9/11 as any other group. Approximately 60 Muslims were murdered in the 9/11 attacks.

The project isn't a mosque." It's a community center with a library, gym, auditorium, and restaurant. Yes, it will include a mosque. It will also host events to facilitate "multifaith dialogue." It isn't at Ground Zero—it's two blocks away, in what used to be a Burlington Coat Factory

What do you mean by the real ones? And the building you are claiming is a mosque is actually an islamic city center with restaurants, auditoriums, gyms, library, swimming pool, basketball court, and 9/11 memorial site. It also has a prayer room for muslims. Out of the 13 story building only 2 are prayer rooms.

I think that its a waste of money because the results we have found has not given us any knowledge we might know more but how does it really benefit us
