@WillShakespeare2007 and one more thing... it's not even on freaking ground zero!!!!!

@WillShakespeare2007 you have clearly had your mind warped by the american media and for that reason I pity you, Islam is not a violent and ideological race you just hear about a secluded group of muslims who believe entirely different philosophies to the rest of the islamic world. they constitute marginally towards the population of the islamic world and do not represent it whatsoever. Your life is not on the line you moron stop sensationalising everything and stirring up ignorant hatred.

@Simpleton450 - I left a non personal comment but people like you always have to make personal remarks. You know nothing about me you so don't tell me I'm ignorant. ALL Muslims react when they feel they're offended many violently. If you criticize Islam publicly your life is on the line. So why should they have the right to be offended about everything and yet not care if others are offended?

If you think Islam is just a religion you know absolutely nothing about this dangerous ideology.

@WillShakespeare2007 Don't be so ignorant! Do not generalise Islam in such an uneducated way. The building of the islamic community centre does not glorify islam at all it simply provides an area for muslims in new york to worship at, the fact that you think otherwise is unbelievable and astounds me, and also do not patronise me as I strongly believe that i am more informed than you due to the amount of videos and documentaries which i have watched.

@LOL4Polio - Sharia is the official legal system of Islam. This legal system dictates that all gay must die, that anyone that leaves Islam must die, that anyone that criticizes Islam must die, that those that have an affair in marriage must die. It is not a generalization to say I disagree with the ideology of the Nazis nor is it a generalization to say I disagree with the dangerous and barbaric ideology that is Islam. I might ask you why you do not stand against the things I listed?

@Simpleton450 - That building was only for sale as it was damaged in the 9/11 attacks. They are taking a building damaged in the name of Islam in an Islamic terror attack that cost thousands of lives and turning it into a building to glorify Islam. Can you not see that is deeply offensive to the families? Remember that Islam is a religion that killed dozens when they were offended by cartoons! So they are very aware they are causing offense and are doing it on purpose to celebrate the attacks.

pathetic, bringing in families who have lost loved ones, not to help them and to care for them, but to use their stories as blackmail in order to stop their political opponents from exercising their right to build a place of worship on private land. I am 14 and even I find this a revolting and manipulative tactic.
