> a) It’s not a Mosque - it’s a community center  
> b) it’s not at Ground Zero - it’s a few blocks away  
> c) They choose this site due to it being a vacant building (a destroyed Burlington Coat Factory store) the whole neighborhood is in shambles.  
> d) There is a Mosque that is already closer to ground zero (been there since the 1970s) There are even a few churches.  
> e) There is a strip club closer to ground zero than this “mosque”  
> f) 9/11 wasn’t an attack from Muslims, it was an attack by extremists who even dislike most of the people in their faith. Does the Westboro Baptist Church speak for all Christians? (Even GWB says it wasn’t Muslims and this isn’t a holy war when it first happened).  
> g) There is no terrorist funding from Saudi Arabia. In fact, News Corp is funded by the same Saudi “terrorist” group. News Corp owns Fox News.  
> h) It’s freedom of religion. You deny one group, you need to deny it to all.  
> i) this is a hot topic used to stir up shit in a political election year, it’s meant to cause fear, hatred and dissidents among the US people.  
> j) this hate for the “mosque” being built is not just near ground zero; it’s in other parts of the US. People are protesting any mosque being built anywhere.

+1. And that’s from a right-wing conservative.
