Landmark commission hearing may determine future of ground zero mosque - CNN.com
I think what they are doing is in somewhat poor taste but they have every right to do so. It's called religious freedom and the people who oppose these seem to be borderline hysterical about Islam, as if every Muslim has dynamite strapped to him somewhere on his body.
I think it is kind of wrong to label mainstream Islam with 9/11, It was fundamentalist Muslims who carried out 9/11. Just like Mormons don't like to be labeled with polygamy and Christians don't like to be labeled with the creationists and extreme homophobes.
There is nothing redeeming about the Islamic faith, fundamentalist or extremist. The Koran is filled with hatred toward nonbelievers. I wonder if "they" would let us build a Christian church in Mecca?
Somewhat poor taste? Honestly, we just bend over and grab our ankles to look tolerant.
well.....i'm a proud liberal and i think we need to have some way of stopping these morons. it's offensive that they want to build a mosque there.
and The Bible isn't? This is a double edged sword.

Actually appears that these Muslims do it with all good intentions, the Cordoba iniative has a good reputation and is out to improve Muslim relations with the western world.

and also I am willing to gurantee none of you guys know two damn things about the Koran, I mean sure you heard an evil verse here and there but have you actually studied it?

Then how dare we build damn churches on grounds once owned by Indians, what complete a-holes we are being!
I said I thought it was being done in poor taste but they are protected by the constitution.
What a horrible assumption to think that no one here knows anything about the Qu'ran. That comment just said a lot about you.

redeeming? even Jesus said himself he wasn't out to redeem the old testament but to fulfill it, sounds like he approves of it!
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB).
