Battle is a harsh word, but we are debating presumably.
We agree that they're within their rights to build there, but still disagree about whether it's a good idea. I find it comforting to know we can stand opposed to each other even when we agree. |
Ok. But why is it a good idea?

I agree and I thinkthey should all go out and drink BEER. And cheer up. And I think I am going to go out and drink a few beers myself because I miss my wife who dresses up like Lilly Munster on halloween.. Sexy. Sexy. Sexy lady.

^ Every Muslim who thinks that Muslims are superior to other people should be at odds with Libertarians (and vice versa).

Actually surprised it took this long to get to that whole mosque on Ground Zero thing. Hate to be all libertarian about it....but even if it looks bad, really what right is there to deny it? Oh I forgot every Muslim is a terrorist thats right.

That's debatable.

Or it's people building in an area which is probably prime real estate. |
Why do they need prime real estate for a community center I'm not sure. i guess plans for reselling the property are not what moves them. |
Well T building a community center in Antarctica wouldn't make much sense, you know because there's no people there.
You generally would want to build that thing where there is a lot of people in the demographic you're catering to. Why wouldn't they want to build it where it can benefit the highest number of people most conveniently?
Simple business ideas, not anything sinister.

Come on, Shields. One thing can't be avoided, transports millions (of all faiths), unless you want to turn NY into hermit town. The other one CAN ve avoided, just by choosig a different spot. |
So your only defense of the action is on pragmatic grounds? I'll take that as a victory thank you.

That's true. They have to allow the place to be built. It's still a stupid (or cunning) move.

The American government HAS to go through with the mosque. There's no way they can cancel this mosque and keep the integrity of what the country supposedly stands for intact.
Note that Sarah Palin wants to cancel the mosque.
