Obama supports Ground Zero mosque. Religious freedom or is he being too PC?

Are they bollocks.If that was true there'd be a billion little suicide bombers kicking around. They're no more terrorists because they're Muslims than the IRA were terrorists because they're Catholic.

There are already Mosques within blocks of ground zero.The comparisons are nothing like a mosque. That Godwin needs no explanation. Neither should the War criminal. Last I heard GWB had no been raised to godhood yet.
There is a Japanese restaurant that practically overlooks Pearl Harbor.Though not your material, you used it. The material is not relevant and as we can see not even accurate.ABE
Should we ban christian churches from around the Murrah building too?Edited by Theodoric, : Forgot point

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

Terrorist Christians are terrorists (rightly or wrongly) because of their Christian beliefs.Neither has anything to do with the fact that in the US, Freedom of Religion is assured under our Constitution.

Really?Marc 10:13-16:

quote:

---

And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

Seems like Jesus is saying that "touching" little children is the Kingdom of god, and that little children should be "touched".No, I don't think this is where the priests got their inspiration, but really, anything can be made of holy texts, so if you claim that terrorist Muslims are terrorists because of their book, I'll claim that paedophile Christians are paedophiles because of theirs.

I used it to express the sentiments of millions of Americans, not explain my own stance. I stated that there is no legal basis to bar it, however, from the perspective of those building it, they might want to consider that it almost certainly will be vandalized and/or suffer arson.

That's a rather dubious twisting of scripture, don't you think? Since when is touching someone necessarily sexually fondling them?Edited by Hyroglyphx, : No reason given.

If that happens then hopefully the people that commit such crimes will be caught and tried as terrorists.

I think you will find that was rather his point. I'd note as well that it's no more dubious that many popular Christian interpretations of the Bible.

Yes, but that was the point. Like I said after that:

I wonder how far away from Ground Zero a new mosque would have to be to be "acceptable". Brooklyn? New Jersey?My guess is that any new mosque in Colorado or Florida will have at least one idiot making the same complaint that it's an insult to 9-11 victims.

Something like that: As to the the topic: Obama supports freedom of religion!! That proves he's a stealth muslim terrorist!! /sarcasm

Predictable answer, but it is a bit irrelevant.Ask a muslim terrorist about his justification and he will say his religionask a catholic priest and he will not quote scripture (unless you can show me one that does).Maybe the bible and christianity could be used to justify pedophilia by a very twisted mind, but as far as I know it isn't. So as I said, in my first post, the source for those priests actions isn't their religion. The same cannot be said for muslim terrorists.

If terrorist christians had stunned an entire nation by killing thousands of people all at once, (in other words, an analog situation), then Mr. Jack's analogy would have been useable.But this wasn't his analogy, it was about pedophile priests.

Of course terrorist Christians have killed millions, likely billions. But the point is, as I said, that still has NOTHING to do with the topic.

All I'm saying is that his argument by analogy was fallacious, because pedophile priests and muslim terrorists are not analog.AbE and lol at 'likely billions' Edited by slevesque, : No reason given.
