Closing Statement

Mosques are everywhere, and it is not a special threat. Plus just because few other Muslims countries are not allowing Christians doesn't mean America has to pay back like children do.

I get that there are more people opposing the mosque built, so you don't have to keep mentioning the poll. However I can tell you that the people aren't thinking deep enough. Mosque is not a threat.

Politics is more than childish payback. Just because Saudi or other countries don't let churches built in their countries doesn't mean America, as the world's most developed country, has to follow that.

I agree. However they're aren't thinking deeply. They don't understand that it is not a threat at all. They just assume 9/11--->Muslims----> Dangerous. Again, mosques are everywhere.

You keep saying the government is paying for the mosque... It isn't.

I was talking about the debt, Rania. Debt is related to money. I don't know why you're bringing out zoning laws all of a sudden.

It was 14 years ago. The "mourning" is no longer an excuse for anything. Plus, if the government is actually paying for the building, then we can make the Muslims pay for it. That's not a problem.

You keep saying the word "endanger," but I don't know how they can be endangered. There are mosques everywhere, and just because it's next to a terror site doesn't make it so special to the Extremists or the Anti-Extremists.

There are multiple mosques everywhere. Just because it's built next a terror site, doesn't make it so special to the Anti- Extremists

First of all, America's debt has nothing to do with the construction of the mosque. The mosque is built with the Muslims' money, not the government's, and even if the government is paying for it, how much money does it take?

Hello, this is Jae, Mikail, and Muska. Today we will be arguing about how a mosque should be allowed to be built within 2 blocks from the 9/11 site (ground zero). We think it should be allowed because according to the first amendment of the Bill of Rights, everyone has the right to religion and peaceful assembly./ Therefore as long as the Islamic community center doesn’t impose any threat to the local community it should be allowed. 9/11 happened 13 years and 8 months ago, don’t you think things have changed since then?

Plus, Al Qaeda was an extreme branch of few individual Muslims, and we shouldn’t judge the religion Islam just with the case of Al Qaeda. Hopefully after you have heard this you will understand our point of view that a mosque can be built on 2 blocks ground zero site.

America doesn't only lose money by helping out. They profit from it as well. Trade for example.

That's your point to prove. I've never saw additional problems happened because the first problem was solved

It is true that America's in debt. But why do you think America only loses money by helping other countries? By helping out in wars or etc, they might profit from it as well. It could lead to more trade and business with the ally country and others.

Again, only till a reasonable level. Obviously they shouldn't get to involved too much into other country's business.

By reasonable level, I mean to the level where they don't neglect their own people or getting to involved.

Yes you are right. However, that's after the problem is solved. It is important to solve them first.

America doesn't have to be a "babysitter." But they can still help out as long as they don't end up in too much of a further debt or neglecting their own people.

America, as the strongest country in the world, should help other countries solve their problems at a reasonable level.
