heating up more since President Obama sided with the building of the
mosque. The Constitution allows people to practice their religion,
even on private property, without denial. Republican Newt Gingrich
stated that building a mosque by ground zero is like "putting a Nazi
flag next to the holocaust museum". Sen. Harry Reid's spokesman also
disagreed with the idea of building the mosque. There is an outcry
from the people of Manhattan about the distance the mosque will be
from ground zero. People are saying America wouldn't allow a Japanese
monument next to Pearl Harbor or a KKK monument next to the Alabama
church bombing.
In this case, this is a peaceful aura with people that are
practicing their faith in peace. The "extreme " right is in an outrage
over this and could be missing the point of this war. It's the radical
Muslims that the Jews in America are fighting. Many Jews in America do
not have a problem with the mosque being built. Accepting other
religions is the first step in unity and harmony. Sarah Palin and
other "right" extremist are attacking the President for siding with
the mosque. This country was built for people to have freedom in their
lives and religion. The 1st Amendment states freedom of speech and
religion. Many Republicans are stirring the pot by screaming that it's
in poor taste to have this mosque move forward. The word they use is
offensive.
What is offensive is the waving of the Confederate Flag on flag poles
to African Americans in the south. Yet the Republicans overlook that
issue.
Do you think the mosque should be built 3 blocks away from Ground Zero?
