Pentagon opened a Mosque on site of 9/11 a year later

Recommended Posts

Yet no one said anything. A mosque is a place of prayer for the worshipers of Islam (in case you were wondering.) This wasn't a block or two away but at the actual site of a 9/11 attack.

Ah ha, someone read the article. You are of course correct, but its still a Islamic place of worship during the services.

It is also a place of worship for Catholics, Protestant, Episcopal, Hindu, Church of Latter-day Saints Bible study, and a Jewish service and Torah study during their services.

It certainly is not a mosque as you tried to imply by your title. It is the Pentagon Chapel. Nice try at deception though.

(as far as the Mosque being built in NY, I have no concerns about it and am very indifferent to the project)

The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years. If you remove 1980 and 1989 you have 1981 to 1988. 8 years.

The facility is a mosque when used by Muslims for their religious rituals.

No amount of parsing can rework this uncomfortable FACT.

If the RWCs want to be morally and ethically consistent, they must all rise up together and work to ban Musilm rituals at the site of the Pentagon Ground Zero.

We are at war against Terrorism, not the Moslem Religion, aren't we?

We have freedom of religion and equal respect for all religions here in the USA, don't we?

Equal respect for for all religions is enshrined in the Constitution and is one of our core values, if you are a US patriot, right?

It is not a church, synagogue, mosque, etc. It is a Pentagon Chapel (the name is outside the door) used for many purposes.

The name outside the door is immaterial. You may want to parse it differently but the fact remains that the facility is a mosque when used by Mulims for their religious rituals. None of the definitions make any distinctions between part time and full time use.

>They have completed the construction?

Nope, not even close.



So then it isn't a place for many different faiths to worship, as you claim. It's just blue prints.



If the RWC Sheeple that are whipped up into a frenzy over a local zoning issue have their way, the facility may not get built.

The RWCs appear to be completely unaware that this particular issue is being closely watched by the entire world.
Will the jingoistic Constitution haters prevail and prevent one of the world's great religions from building a community center in our most international of cities?
We don't have much or a moral leg to stand on since ShrubCo had their way.
Conciously shredding our basic values is not good for this country in any way. The First Amendment used to matter. Knowingly trying to stop free exercise of these rights used to be something that would not be tolerated.

No, I think a number of them are quite aware of it. They just think that thumbing their nose at world opinion is a way to demonstrate superior strength, money, and, therefore, intelligence and general goodness :S

Because we all know that saying "neener neener" makes one better.
