Because of their choice, for me, it has now become a matter of respect rather than a matter of religous freedom. I was brought up to learn that in order to get respect, you have to give respect. In this case they are not respecting the families and they very large number of people in this country opposed to the building. They have many other choices for building lots that are not 600ft from Ground Zero. Why is it so important to them to build there? It almost seems maliciously intentional. > > Another thing I have thought about is this. Even if they move forward, who is going to actually build it? In NYC all you have for contract labor is unionized. And I will promise you that no NYC laborer is going to help build it. Nor is anyone going to unload the supply ships at port. > > IMO this church is putting itself and its people in danger. They are going against what the country wants them to do just because they don’t want to move a few blocks down the street? Give me a break. Wait for it…wait for it… I agree with everything you just said. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nyc-mosque/254128)._
