What are your feelings towards the building of a mosque(Islamic center) near ground zero?

While there may not be any valid points against it, you have to remember people are not logical. People are just emotionally driven animals. Thats why there's terrorism, war, hatred, religion.

Please don't tell me your so naive as not to know this. In the eyes of Americans, especially those who were affected by 9/11, Islamic people deserve justice, even to innocents. It is sad but true.

The point is that protesters feel that the mosque should be farther from Ground Zero and agreeing to move it would be a gesture of goodwill. That is the argument from the other side. But I guess the 70% of Americans who oppose its location are the only ones who must be tolerant.

Tolerance works both ways. There have been agreements signed by construction workers to refuse to work on the mosque, they are talking about a human chain to prevent it from being built. People who lost loved ones or who lived through the attack have very strong feelings about it.

Its one of those things that people relive over and over. It would go a long way to acknowledge those feelings are valid rather than trying to basically shame them for their "intolerance". I think they know they are in a losing fight.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
