The "Mosque" Debate Exposes Bias - Let's Move Beyond 9/11 as Public Policy

The uproar over the center/mosque near Ground Zero is working to expose the irrational, biased arguments against it.

Mr. Green, you miss the point. What the opponents of the mosque
ask is that it be moved to a different location. The refusal of the
developer to even consider an alternative site shows an insensitivity
to the families of the 9/11 victims.

Ok Mark, then why aren't you defending
my right to speak out against the mosque with the same zeal you defend
their right to build it? Do you REALLY believe your own words or not?
Hmmm?????

Only radical Muslims believe in
jihad and abide by "Sharia" law, even in their own homelands.
Believing that all followers of Islamic theology worship under those
"old" practices is like believing that all Christians live
by the "Old Testament" of the Bible. People who make accusations
that "they're going to impose Sharia law on us..." are either
ignorant or have another agenda.

According to polls, a majority of
New Yorkers oppose the mosque's current location by a wide margin.

What about Nancy Pelosi's statement
that we should investigate where the opposition to the Mosque is getting
its money! Also, how is that Imam a 'moderate'? Saying that 'America
has more blood on its hands than Al Qaeda,' and that 'we brought on
9/11 ourselves'? Thanks Mark for your piece. You have a very good heart
but are naive.
