well, although, like many have stated befor, the people that were involved in 9-11 were Islam, lets not jump to conclusions and say that all Islamic people are "evil". Immagin this, you live during World War II, were you live, does not matter, as long as its in the U.S., about twenty miles outside of your town, there is Japanies Imprizon campo were they hold anybody that is even partly Japanese under gaurd. You do not like this idea, because you have a great friend that is Japanese, so you begin to protest these camp, bla bla bla, the rest is not important. What im trying to say ehre is that just becaause some people who have some power are using it for "evil purposes", in your eyes and mine as well, that does not mean that every single Muslim is "evil" , i say let em build there Mosque and let it be over with. Sure i hated when 9-11 happened, i was very upset, but thtat cant be used as a steryotype, causing people to start looking at the Muslim world with disgust (remember they are the second largest religion in the wolrd, second only to Christianity by only about 4-5 percent, so there are millions of people that are Muslim unlike them.
Not to start any further arguments, but in my eyes, we.. uh... im gonna get killed for this, probably even get kicked out or ignored but.. let me put you into another situation. Imagin... youy are playing Risk, if any of you play this game, then this wont be to ahrd to imagine, You controle N. America, and your enamy is massing up in his massive for in Venizwayla, (the country in S. America that touched N. America) what do you do? personally, id start massing up in some other area, putting just as much pressure on some other continent he holds, so if he attaks my N. America, i can attack him, tahts kinda what happened in the Middle East literally for a very, very long time, just sitting around pretty much in the Middle East. Now, the Muslims, being the people just like us that they are, desided to make the first move, this is probably what they thought, hey, hes going to atack us resentless eventually most likely, what else could those troops be doing there? might as well damage him befor he anialates us. I am not saying this is a good move, but it looked very much like the.. uh... "strategicly smart" thing to do. PLEASE keep in mind that i am not saying in any way that i hate, love, etc. Muslims in anyway whatsoeverm if a guy is a muslim, good for him, he believes in something, im not gonna go arond avoiding him cause he's one, im just gonna live my normal life.
P.S. SOOO sorry for the long writing, i just couldnbt think of any other way to make it short, and to that point, if i hadn't put you into the situations, you probably woulda been really mad, and hated me for doing what some might call "an evil act against the government", i had to speak completly open minded, not considering any thoughts i ahd on the subject, just give you the bare facts
Please take this into consideration, so, i say, just build the dang Mosque
