As weird as this sounds, strip clubs helped some of the people suffering.
As most muslims know that they should be considerate to others, as they are told to in the Qur'an, they should at least consider this.

This goes for moderate muslims, not Wahabi muslims, which are the muslims that are funding Park51.
Just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean the people are going to allow it to happen, especially in a democratic country, the people have the power.
Feisal Abdul Rauf is known for being close allies with Saudi Arabia, where wahabi islam thrives. As most mosques in america are funded by Saudi Arabia, the intentions of this islamic community center will have influence by Wahabi islam. Wahabi islam is one of the causes for islamic extremism.

While it is a right, it's also extremely insensitive. How would you feel if Japanese people came to America, and built a Japanese community center next to pearl harbour?
While having an islamic community center might seem extremely beneficial to muslims, putting near ground zero would make the radical islamist believe that they are victorious over Americans, as they would think that they blew up their tower and replaced it with a mosque, this mentality of extremist islam, is extremely dangerous to the islamic community and to non-muslims. This would all be avoided if the community center would be in a different location.

60% Of all Americans believe that Park 51 should not be built. More than 70 % of Americans believe that Park 51 is insensitive, That’s more than 223230000 people. If more than 223230000 people think that building a mosque there is extremely insensitive, shouldn't they at least reconsider the location of Park51

And approximately 2917 non-muslims were killed by the name of Islam. It is unfortunate to all those that lost their lives, but using their deaths to justify building a community center close to where so much devastation happened, is extremely inappropriate.

You can't deny the fact that this project is primarily based for islam, as it is an "islamic community center" http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Park51
That information is outdated, as Park51 isn't going to be 13 stories high, as it was originally planned to be.

The estimated minimum number of New Yorkers suffering from PTSD as a result of 9/11 is 422,000. As a direct result of 9/11, there have been 1,300 orphans,
alcohol consumption went up by 25% and cigarette usage increased by 10 %. All of these terrible things happened because of what terrorists did in the name of islam. The tragedy of 9/11 didn't just stop at the towers, these facts eventually led up to even more death and despair. Ground Zero should be a memorial for what has happened to all those effected, not a site for any religion.

Park51 should not be built so near ground zero. It is inconsiderate to all the families that are still traumatized by the 9/11 attacks, the people responsible behind the mosque refuse to state where they are receiving the money, and even muslim leaders agree that a mosque should be a place of happiness, and if it will cause so much pain to the families, it will be better if the mosque isn't built.

Then why doesn't the US use its war debt instead http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/
WHY ARE YOU WASTING EVEN MORE MONEY ON WAR, PUNK http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/
It is reliable, you plonker................................
Many problems on earth have been solved by space exploration, and the money spent on space exploration isn't the sole cause of those problems, instead of the money spent on space (that's actually beneficial) go to those problems, how about the US's war budget go and help them. http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/
Many things we've learnt from space greatly benefit people. http://www.universetoday.com/37079/
Those stuff wouldn't've been possible if it weren't for space exploration.
Earth has gained lots of knowledge and information from space, which is priceless.
Space exploration has given us knowledge that helps us. here is a link http://inaki.com/ rekt.
Yes, I believe space exploration is worth the money, because in the future, space travel will be necessary for humans to survive. And its pretty sweet.
