I want to understand the knowledge and reason you guys are using to arrive at your conclusions that a mosque should NOT be allowed to be built two blocks away. I have no interest in ANY organized religion but this just sounds like an irrational prejudice against a whole group.

How soon could a Japanese shrine be set up in Pearl Harbor area after WWII??
Within about 6 years.

After the Pear Harbor attack, federal officials closed it and sent its priest back to Japan. But by late 1947, its adherents started it up again, without any fanfare or New York mosque hollering and posturing. Then a year later, federal officers raided it, shut it down, and Washington confiscated the property as alien-owned.
The law firm Robertson, Castle & Anthony filed suit against U.S. Attorney General Tom Clark, the state of Hawaii and the Federal Alien Land Office. The case was heard in federal court May 18, 1950, and the ruling was that Uncle Sam had to return the land and back off. The high priest, Misao Isobe, was allowed to come back from Japan in 1952 as the Shinto leader.

The radical Muslims who bombed the World Trade Center committed a heinous act that should not be forgotten. However, those terrorists no more represent Islam than radical extremist Christians, or JW's for that matter, represent mainstream Christianity.

VB:...those terrorists no more represent Islam than radical extremist Christians, or JW's for that matter, represent mainstream Christianity.
Well put!
I really hate to see prejudice flourishing in a group that had to fight so hard for freedom of thought.

valiantboy,
:However, those terrorists no more represent Islam than radical extremist Christians, or JW's for that matter, represent mainstream Christianity.
The Koran is crystal clear when it calls for world domination by Islam, no matter-what-it-takes.
The slogan "Islam is a Religion of Peace" is a piece of propaganda by the Muslims. Most Islams won't come out and say they are for world domination and subjugation by any means, but that is what ALL Muslims who follow the Koran believe.
Dubs won't come out and say that they believe in world domination no matter-what-it-takes, either. But we all know they believe it will come through the bloodiest massacre this planet has ever seen.
Here's something I wrote 6 years ago about how screwed up Islam really is:

Indirectly related... I recently watched the AmazingAtheist (I think that's his name) on YouTube burn a Koran, a Bible, and The God Delusion all in the same sitting. Somehow, Islam, Christianity, and absence of belief in a deity still exist afterwards.

Farkel, I don't know enough about the Koran to say much about it but we could say the Bible has a lot of world domination themes throughout it, too: Lots of bloodshed like genocide, killing of innocent children, raping of women (gangrape in at least one case), taking of young virgins for god's nation, etc... But I don't fear that all Christians are capable of doing those things.
What if some peaceful Muslims take a similar view of the 'violent Koran' as some peaceful Christians take regarding the 'violent Bible'?

"but that is what ALL Muslims who follow the Koran believe"
Could I not make the claim that ALL Christians who follow the Bible believe in the genocide of non-Christians based on selective use of imflammatory scriptures and the example of extremist Christians?
Of course I could, and many people do.
