Next you'll be giving us irrelevant details like the Imam being a liberal Sufi, the building being open to anybody who wishes to enter, the mayor of New York being quite happy to allow the plan, polls showing that despite up to 70% opposition in the US as a whole, majority support among Manhattan residents.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Akbar Ahmed believes Muslims do have to anticipate sensitivities.
"Muslims absolutely have the right to build a mosque like any house of worship but they need also to be much more sensitive to the culture and society in which they are living."
Commonsense. Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment

Quite to some above comments also. It is unbelievably insensitive that this place should be built so close to ground zero. Actually it is 2 mins walk from ground zero and was an area damged by the strike. The fact that these people wish to go ahead with it is just the sheer bloody mindedness you get from some of that faith and would be rightly condemned if it came from anyone else.
Also comment on stupid Americans. Presumably in the context you only mean white Americans, so that's ok then? Why not stupid Muislims or stupid blacks? Thought not. The double standards of some you twats is amazing.Last edited by xoggoth; 25 August 2010, 10:05.bloggoth
