You can't just show up and accuse people outright of being terrorist sympathisers because of a user handle and avatar image. How ridiculous.

Really? But yet you can say everyone is a bigot for being against the mosque.

U.S. Air Force General Jack Ripper goes completely and utterly mad, and sends his bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. He suspects that the communists are conspiring to pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of the American people.

They can keep doing whatever they are doing now. The GZ mosque isn't there yet, so there must be another one they go to.

they supposedly have two that are in the same area but they are too small and can't accommodate everyone...

Site discussion dude... new policy that should hopefully save the mods some work and keep hot threads open.

You say I say that.

I say "people who use bigoted arguments are bigots" with clear examples of what those arguments are and why.

thread closed for review

After review I have removed a number of inappropriate baiting and derailment posts as well as a number of personal attacks. Two more thread bans have also been enacted. I am re-opening this thread and we will now see if the discussion can continue on topic and without insults and personal attacks.

The thread bans are not for disagreeing - but as Captain Ewok so nicely phrased it - "for being disagreeable".

This just in: Obama has ordered that a mosque will be built inside every Jewish Temple.

Thank you! I'm glad my thread is open again

I cannot believe this discussion is still going on here. The location of the Mosque is of poor taste - end of story.

The old Burlington Coat Factory building where the proposed cultural center will be, insha'allah, has been used for Muslim prayer since September 2009, so it already is a rudimentary mosque.

No it is not. End of story.

Agreed.

And why are people complaining that we can't build churches in Mecca and whatnot? That's not the USA. THIS IS. The people in the USA pride themselves on their constitution, right? Something about free speech, freedom to practice religion and what not? Don't Americans claim that the USA is the best country in the world or something like that?

Time to actually back that up, I guess. Show that you can be the metaphorical 'bigger man'.
