WTC Mosque

This weekend I kept hearing talk about the mosque, or as the Muslims call it a "neighborhood activity and culture center, to be built near ground zero of the WTC.  In this case I actually agree a little with President Obama.  According to the Constitution they have every right to build it there and the government should not prevent them.  However, if the Islamic community was really concerned about the image they portray and if they truly believe they are a religion of peace, they would realize that what they are doing is slapping the US in the face.  A caller to a talk news program made a good point in that we would not want a Japanese activity and culture center built at Pearl Harbor.

I disagree completely with NYC Mayor Bloomberg about the funding for the center.  The US has every right to know where the funding is coming from to build the center and to make sure it is not coming from sources who seek to destroy the USA.  IMO this is tantamount to asking for your enemy to come into your backyard and then building his fort for him.  The imam involved should not even be allowed into this country let alone let him raise funds to build the center.  The man espouses Sharia Law which he believes should be implemented here in the USA.  You do not hear an outcry from the liberals about this, but if Christians and Jews espoused that we should return to Old Testament Law, BOY! would you hear them then.  If the Sharia Law as practiced in Iran is any indication of what he was thinking, then the homosexual community in NYC has some trouble on their hands.  Iran hangs suspected homosexuals and they just executed a woman thought to have committed adultery.  Old Testament Law required homosexuals and adulterers to be stoned.  I think liberal "so called" tolerance of others may come to a screeching halt.


Back to the culture center, I also agreed with another caller who suggested that Jewish and Christian groups petition the NYC planning board to build culture centers surrounding the Islamic one and make sure they post their religious symbols very prominently from the buildings.  Somehow I think Bloomberg would try and prevent this being done, because he would probably say that they were intentionally stirring things up.  However, he does not think that is what the Muslims are doing now.

NYC is just a cesspool of crap IMO.  This is not to say that good things do not come from NYC.  You can grow beautiful roses with crap, but in the end it is still crap.  People who say it is wonderful because of the multiculturalism, IMO just have never been to see the rest of the country.  There are cultures all over this land, but many New Yorkers have never been anywhere except NY and Florida.  I guess they are not really interested in seeing different cultures.
