They have it backwards. This argument is letting the terrorists win. This argument is driving a wedge between local Muslims and their community, a community that should be supporting them in a time when a small group is nearly succeeding in irreperably tainting their reputation as a people. Let them build their Mosque, the fact that humanity in the western world would be showing acceptance and compassion to one another would be the biggest spit in the face of all. | ||

This view is incorrect. Islamic teachings are not 100% compatible with the western world. There has been a strong backlash against Muslims in France, Switzerland, Netherlands, etc. Muslim integration is not proceeding smoothly in many European countries. http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/ | ||

The U.S. was running an exercise on 9/11 that involved WTC 1, 2, the Pentagon, and the White House being attacked by commercial jets. I think it's kinda funny that in London they were doing an exercise that involved the same trains, and bus at the EXACT same time it happened just like 9/11. I'm guessing your response will be something like "They were doing exercises because they had knowledge of a possible attack." I bet you watch FOX News a lot. | ||

I'm just trying to find out how informed you are. I didn't pull anything out of anywhere. I'm just stating facts and asking questions. I enjoy hearing other peoples views. Especially those who have been washed by our media, and false statements. As far as me being a 9/11 conspiracy theorist you're once again wrong. It's not a theory, it has been proven more ways than 1. If you look at most polls when people are asked if they beleive there was a cover-up on 9/11 people who answered "yes" were around the 90% and that leaves the other 10% with "no." 9/11 isn't the first time the U.S. has used False Flagging as a technique to goto war. Look at the USS Liberty for example, or perheps the Gulf of Tonkin where a US Naval ship was "attacked" by Vietnamese troops. Reports that were released later stated that the accusations were false. In fact the U.S. fired on the Vietnamese, but they did not return fire. Over 50,000 U.S. Soldiers, and 1.2 million Vietnamese died over a lie. What makes you think our Govt. wouldn't do it again.. geez /rant =D | ||

If there was proof of it being an inside job, intelligent people would be all over it, instead, you find only nutjobs and people that simply keep saying "ask questions" when they've become so diluted with that saying that they become close minded them selves. I'll look at evidence, don't tell me about it, show me it. Prove to me in PM that it was an inside job, and I'll preach it to everyone I know. | ||

You're not going to enlighten anyone by regurgitating the same arguments that you learned through google or watching a video. | ||

On topic, i'm personally fine with the Mosque. I think if anything this just shows how much better we are than the terrorists. Plus, the more we bitch about it the more the terrorists keep saying "look, they are against islam!" Compared to Europe, we are tame with regards to Islam. | ||

(Except for the misspelling of 'argument'.) Also, for every youtube video showing how backwards Islam is, I can make my own video showing how backwards the Bible is when taken literally (which allows selling your daughters into slavery, for instance). | ||

It's pretty simple. Radical Muslims killed thousands of people and started 2 wars, building a mosque close to the attack probably isnt the best idea. It would be like if the German embassy was next to a Polish concentration camp. Yes the german people of today dont have anything to do with it, and it's probably legal, but that doesnt mean you have to be a dick about it. | ||

Even if you accept the tenuous logic that the Taliban in Afghanistan were sheltering Al Qaeda and therefore an attack from them is an attack by the Taliban and therefore invading Afghanistan is really self defence against the Taliban who knew some of the guys who actually started it then that still doesn't explain how Islamic extremism started the war in Iraq. I thought everyone knew Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. In fact, I thought everyone knew that in 2003. Jesus! | ||

For a long while, Bin Laden actually wanted to lead his fighters against Sadam and was actively recruiting for that purpose. | ||

It's true in france there have been debates over the limits of Islamic traditions but even so to say that Muslim intergration is "not proceeding smoothly" is misleading at best. That source might be bad, but as someone living in Germany for over 10 years I can assure you that muslims are by far the least integrated group. Now, there are probably countless reasons for this and nobody can be sure how much of a role their religion played. However, "Muslim intergration is not proceeding smoothly" is rather an understatement. By the way, this does not apply only to Germany, but also to many other European countries (somewhere in this thread, a person from Denmark said something similar). This all is quite off-topic, but I just wanted to let you know that many Muslims in Europe struggle with integration a lot (but once I again, I don't know if this is due to "Islamic teachings being not 100% compatible with the western world" as thesighter said) | ||
