I will be honest, the first time I saw something about this was on facebook and I actually thought it was a joke. Then I heard on the radio that there actually is a group trying to have a Mosque built at ground zero. It is causing outrage from coast-to-coast and with just cause.
But, despite how appalling and offensive this idea is, I can actually see some merit in it. I say, sure, let them build their little Allah Alter at ground zero. I mean, there are other places of worship in NYC for the other religions and apparently part of the WTC area does have zoning for religious structures so they are within their legal rights to purchase the land for a Mosque.
I think we are looking at this the wrong way though. Let them build their Mosque, not because of religious freedom, not because of equality, but because what are the odds that another plane will be flown into any more buildings when it might endanger a Muslim place of worship. In fact, I think I know of a good name for this place when its built … how do you say “Allah’s Shield” in Arabic?
Locutus-
I like your logic.

Haha, though I’m sure only a few would. The entire post is drenched with sarcasm.
