This poll came out today and I find it interesting. It says 1 in 5 Americans think Obama is a Muslim. What I find interesting is that we don't know. I'd much rather know he was a Muslim (him admit it) then speculate. I also think it's odd that 1 in 5 Americans don't believe their president who says he is not. One in 5 Americans think their president is lying about his faith? There is something very wrong with that.
I don't agree with Mitt Romney's faith AT ALL. However, I at least have peace knowing that he's not afraid or ashamed of it. That he's not hiding it from us. The unknown is far scarier than the known.
The question is, should there be a mosque anywhere near Ground Zero? My answer is absolutely no.
To be honest, mosques don't bother me that much. My husband and I used to live across the street from the biggest mosque in the United States. We picked the neighborhood knowing that multiple times a day we'd hear the bells chime for prayer. We knew what we'd be looking at and we didn't really care. Mosques don't intimidate me...the psycho terrorists do.
To me, it's just a respect issue. I've been to Pearl Harbor...I've been to two concentration camps. I would have been appalled if I'd seen a Japanese museum near the sunken ship or a Nazi historical center near the death camps. It should be common sense.
When did flat out common sense leave our nation? If the Muslim people want respect...especially in New York where thousands were murdered, then they need to use a little common sense.
Girl, I totally agree! This whole thing is just sickening and disgusting!
ReplyDeleteThis is another example of how your posts approach most issues from a logical and thought out point of view. Most people are commenting on how they shouldn't have the right to put a mosque there in the first place. That argument is ridiculous as it is saying it is ok to deny a constitutional right to someone because you don't agree with there religion or whatever else you decide. But, in this case, you focus on the choice to do so and taste in general. Good job!
