NY Daily News said:But some 9/11 families said they found the proposal offensive because the terrorists who launched the attacks were Muslim.
"I realize it's not all of them, but I don't want to have to go down to a memorial where my son died on 9/11 and look at a mosque," said retired FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches - whose son Jim, a firefighter, was killed on 9/11.
"If you ask me, it's a religion of hate," said Riches, who did not attend last night's meeting.
Rosemary Cain of Massapequa, L.I., whose son, Firefighter George Cain, 35, was killed in the 2001 attacks, called the project a "slap in the face."
"I think it's despicable. That's sacred ground," said Cain, who also did not attend the meeting.
"How could anybody give them permission to build a mosque there? It tarnishes the area."
I think that, at a minimum, it is kind of tasteless and probably not too bright either.
It's almost like building a shrine to Emperor Hirohito at Pearl Harbor.
build a giant ham sandwich next to it.
Except Hirohito was directly responsible for pearl harbor, and the Muslims in NY city are regular American citizens who might have lost people in the attack. There is no reason to coddle fools who are too stupid or bigoted to realize that a single act of terrorism does not define an entire religion.

They were also males.But some 9/11 families said they found the proposal offensive because the terrorists who launched the attacks were Muslim.
Then dont."I realize it's not all of them, but I don't want to have to go down to a memorial where my son died on 9/11 and look at a mosque," said retired FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches - whose son Jim, a firefighter, was killed on 9/11.
Get a new ****ing slogan"If you ask me, it's a religion of hate," said Riches, who did not attend last night's meeting.
Sweet, let's park a Starbucks there and call it a day."I think it's despicable. That's sacred ground," said Cain, who also did not attend the meeting.
"How could anybody give them permission to build a mosque there? It tarnishes the area."
I think it would have been more offensive had they asked to build a minaret, or the mosque on "ground zero".
This is totally fine. Welcome to American and worship as you like.

And yet, there is no getting around the fact that the 9/11 hijackers were Muslims motivated by Jihad. I get a little baffled sometimes by people who don't seem to want to recognize that little fact, or the undeniable truth that Islam seems to produce an aweful lot of terrorists. How many of the most recent 100 suicide bombers were Muslim? Is the number 99 or 100? Has any other religion produced 100 suicide bombers in the past decade... or even 10?
Most of you know my stance on Islam, IMO Islam is evil and the Islamic terrost involved in the 911 attacks were doing what allah requires of them. They were serving allah by fighting a holy war (jihad) against infidels. I believe building this mosque dishonors those who were murdered on 911 and is a slap in the face of thier family members.
Franklin Graham is right......Islam is evil

I'd hate American too, if I were them.
It's full of ignorant bigots who think they own the damn world.
I hate America anyway half the time, and I'm not even Muslim.
The wonder to me is that most of them don't.
They're better, more forgiving, more tolerant people than me.
Same thing about blacks. If I were black, I'd hate whites.
I'm outraged and appalled on their behalf every time I think about the past, about slavery, about Jim Crow, generational poverty, white privilege, systematic racism, the current state of our penal system. Every time I read a thread about how they ought to just buck up and try harder and stop idolizing criminals and being whiners and crybabies and lazy crackheads, and then maybe they'd have it as good as white people.
If I were black, I'd hate whites. I hate them anyway, half the time, on behalf of blacks. It embarrasses me to be white a lot of the time.
Yet almost no blacks hate whites or wish them ill.
They too are better and more tolerant people than me.
But you know what, Goshin?
For all my silliness and flaws, I'm still a better and more tolerant person than you.

Your stance is evil.
If their mosque is a slap in the face to you and your stance, I wish I could fly to New York and help them build it.
I think it is time for the Muslim community to go through some Sensitivity Training.
You look at a Babe's ass at work, you go through Sensitivity Training.
You make a joke that offends one of the Lib's thousands of cry babies and you Go Through Sensitivity Training.
I think they've perfected the program by now.
Let's expand it.

I think it is time for the Christian community to go through some Sensitivity Training.
I mean, after all, it was christians who have blown up abortion clinics....
Abolitionism was a movement in western Europe and the Americas to end the slave trade and set slaves free. The slave system aroused little protest until the 18th century, when rationalist thinkers of the Enlightenment criticized it for violating the rights of man, and Quaker and other evangelical religious groups condemned it as un-Christian.
