The Mosque Should Be Built!

So, if we find that a place is being funded by a terrorist country, I think it is logical that the place should not be built.

Thus far, you and others are pushing this thing to be built and you don't seem to be particularly concerned where the money is coming from. If coming from Iran or Saudi Arabia, it is as we said, a building of provocation.

Is that the kind of freedom that you want - anything goes, even the plans to destroy our country? Again, our freedom is based on accountability.

You have a right to bear arms. If you use those arms to commit a heinous crime, such as murder, your rights are taken away. Freedom comes with a price.

We simply do not want a mosque built in a place that is part of Ground Zero (discussed plane wreckage on another thread) and we do not want it built by a man that is not truthful in what he is about. You can say that Bush supported him as an emissary to the Muslim world, but we are just getting a handle on what Sharia Law is capable of and the direction it is taking. And we know that Rauf is a supporter of Sharia Law.

All muslims believe that Sharia is God's law.

America has a long history of questionable funding for certain projects. Just consider Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Heck, good part of New York City has been funded by the old mafia.

But regardless, is the leader of this mosque group obligated to reveal where his funding is coming from? When has that question EVER been asked of Jim Cymbala in New York, or David Wilkerson, or any number of synagogues? Do you not think there are Jewish Synagogues in New York that have been built by militant radicals that are every bit as violent as some in the Islamic radical community?

So why are we going to subject this group to questioning about their funding? This pathway still opens the same door...if we can make them reveal their funding, the future door will be opened to digging into the details of other churches of every faith.

When in America, we are able to suppress the building of a house of worship outside legal restrictions, the door to all religious suppression will have been opened and will never close again. You don't want that.
