Reality Bytes webisode 2x03 - A Mosque at Ground Zero

In this webisode, we examine the current debate in NYC regarding a mosque being built next to the site of the September 11th attacks. (And yes, I realize that it was 19, not 11 hijackers. I left the video as-is, because I didn't want to lose any of the context or thought processes.)

You are very far from the real world if you think what you where saying. Learn about Islam and its real political goals before you asking people to be "tolerant".

And America was always only for Americans! Anyone can become an American, but if one just lives here and works against America, that should not be tolerated. That is called Treason.

@wil2wal America was always only for Americans? Ellis Island? The road to citizenship? What are those?

So far, I have yet to see concrete, NEUTRAL evidence to support any of the allegations against Islam. Considering the sources of what I'm hearing, I'm starting to think there's an agenda borne out of phobia there. Show me a neutral source, quote Qu'ranic scripture and verse (IN CONTEXT!) and THEN it will carry weight.

@wil2wal - Another thing, you need to learn what the word TREASON means. What Bradley Manning (PFC, USA) did, THAT was treason. TREASON implies that a person has an expected or implied ALLEGIANCE to the country of their residence. (Look it up!)

Islam and its real political goal? Where are you getting your information? Sounds to me like another one of those neo-conservative sites. Qu'ranic basis, please...

I know that I may not have completed some of these thoughts as well as I should have or might have liked to, but the gist of things is, at least I think, QUITE clear...

[slipstick99]

@wil2wal - Honestly, if you can show me where in the Qu'ran it talks about taking over nations, jihad against the innocent or any of the claims I've heard from the right, PLEASE DO!!

[wil2wal]

Just to make it clear, "America only for Americans", does not mean to me only those who was born here, but all those who accept American values and American way of life, everybody else should be send back home. I am an immigrant myself, came here 12 years ago and consider myself more American than some of the America-hating apologists who was born here.

[wil2wal]

@slipstick99 You say it yourself: road to citizenship!! Anyone can become American, but why should we be considered to those who want to destroy us and this great country? And I am not going to waste my time trying to convince you in something you obviously don't want to believe in. Read the Koran for yourself. You say "welcome to the real world" while living in the land of dreams. Did you provide "neutral source, quote Qu'ranic scripture and verse (IN CONTEXT!)" to prove your point of view?

u need to watch undercover mosque

[slipstick99]

Again YES, I know it was 19 hijackers, not 11. (I'm not perfect, ya know!) I left it like it was, because I didn't want to lose the idea(s) or the context flow.
