> [@PureXTC](#): > > I said tell me why THEY want to open on 9/11. Because the whole fucking point of this thing is to fix the damage done to Islam by the 9/11 goatfuckers. Do you think that the only people who’s lives changed for the worse after 9/11 are good old boy chevy driving God fearing wife beating budweiser drinking christians? I can’t even imagine what it must be like for an average American-born peaceful muslim (yes they exist) minding his own business enjoying his 1 first ammendment to walk down an NYC street after 9/11. ---

What are you trying to tell me with that list? That Muslims died during 9/11? Of course there were Muslims in the building. It’s typical how quickly people forget what happened only 9 years later. The day after they attacks, you would all have different opinions about this whole thing. Just ban me. This site has been going downhill for months. Good luck with it. And Newman, would you just come out of the closet already? It’s ok, proposition 8 has been un-banned. ---

wow, a lot of ignorance in here It’s understandable that people are upset about this, a little bit. I can sympathize. However, the fact of the matter is that you’re racially profiling a whole shitload of people on the based solely on religion. No better than saying all German’s are jew haters. ---

Off-topic again. A lot of the same people in this thread [http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?163011-Semi-NWS-Burger-King-fight-with-pregnant-bitch](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?163011-Semi-NWS-Burger-King-fight-with-pregnant-bitch) calling me a racist (I can dig through earlier posts, and I bet I can find a racist comment made by every one of you). I dont care if youre just kidding when you say these “gray area” comments, the fact of the matter is that if you even think differently when you see non-whites behaving a certain way, than you do with white people, you are racist. It doesnt matter if you go to extremes or just think silently to yourself. At least I have the balls to admit I am racist (racist in regards to race, not religion). Some of you need to man up and realize that you are also, instead of living in denial. My favorite line being: “I’m not racist or anything but…”. You don’t have to be a member of the KKK to be a racist. It only takes a simple thought pattern. Save the “youre an idiot” comments. The insults are only to make you feel better about yourselves. You can also save the “I have black friends” comments, because even I have black friends. That doesnt mean shit. My point being, cut out the group think and take a look at yourselves before you go calling me all these thing. ---

And its really not at ground zero. > > > A group of Muslim businessmen and religious leaders have proposed building a 12-story facility called Cordoba House (or sometimes alternatively Park 51) in Lower Manhattan. The project would include a number of resources – “a 500-seat auditorium, swimming pool, art exhibition spaces, bookstores, restaurants,” its developers say – in addition to places of worship, probably including a mosque. The goal of the project is ostensibly to improve Muslim-West relations and show New York a more modern face of Islam; on the group’s website, for instance, most women involved with the project are pictured in contemproary Western business dress. > > > > There are several things to unpack here. First, a bit of a geography lesson is in order. > > > > To be clear, Cordoba House is “in the neighborhood” of Ground Zero, and this seems to have been a deliberate choice made by its developers. But to suggest that Cordoba House is “at” Ground Zero, as some reporting and opposition groups have, is either negligent or willfully misleading. > > > > The World Trade Center campus, shown in purple in the map below, is quite large, roughly two-tenths of a mile by two-tenths of a mile across. Eleven different streets abut or intersect it, and there are numerous points of access by foot, by cars or taxi, or on public transportation networks. > > > > Cordoba House, shown in a red outline on the map, would be on Park Place between West Broadway and Church Street. Park Place does not intersect Ground Zero; instead, it runs parallel to it, two blocks to its north. > > > > It is unlikely that very many people commuting to the World Trade Center site would pass by Cordoba House – walking on that particular stretch of Park Place would not be a natural route except in unusual circumstances. Nor, does it appear to me, would Cordoba House be visible from ground level anywhere at the World Trade Center complex. The Federal Office Building across from Vesey Street on Ground Zero’s northern perimeter is sixteen stories high, as is the office building between Barclay Street and Park Place; they would presumably block the view of the more diminutive Cordoba House, which although somewhat architecturally daring does not contain minarets or other spire-like features that would give it greater prominence than an ordinary, 12-story building. Like dozens and dozens of other buildings, and several other places of worship near to Ground Zero, it would be quite well concealed among Lower Manhattan’s dense street grid. hey guys, remember this post about the stuff you’re talking about… it had things in it that seemed that, if factual, would negate any need for a debate on the subject. - not solely a mosque (unless its a 500 seat mega mosque, with a watery mosque, museum mosque, bookery mosque and a food mosque all in one) - not adjacent to ground zero - contemporary business dress (not very mosquey) iono, thought that was important to point out even though i don’t agree wtih anything Joe ever says when it doesnt conform to my established world view 🙂 ---

Haha wow what did I miss here? Yes, it’s geographically insensitive but that’s not reason enough to stop it. Besides all this arguing is moot if they can’t get the funding to even build the damn thing. > [@PureXTC](#): > > Just ban me. This site has been going downhill for months. Good luck with it. lol, I love when people say this, change their accounts to “invisible mode” and stick around anyway. Thanks from all of us for putting this thread in OT though :tup: If you have an opinion but can’t defend it, who’s problem is that? All you had to say was Cordoba (the name of this group) is also city in Spain where a conquering Muslim army replaced a church with a mosque.
