..sigh...this is why the world will be a better place when ALL religions are wiped from existence.

I hate to say it, but I agree with you. However, religions, just like politics, have been used by the people who have created them, to divide and rule the human race for thousands of years.

Some say that religions will eventually be phased out, by those in real control, and we will be fed with a new religion which will be the "worship the earth" religion, based on and as a "reaction" to the utter and complete scam called "Man-made Global Warming". At this stage of the game, this assumption is just a, dare I say, "Conspiracy Theory", but it will be interesting to see how things develop in the near future.

A couple of relatively high-profile Muslims weigh in on the controversy:

Having heard all sides of the argument, I think the protestation stems from mere bigotry and pettiness.

It also perpetuates the idea that it is ok to hate on an entire religion as it keeps using the keywords.

Hypocrisy, bigotry and a mental disconnect.

It's a talking point for republicans to spread their weird bigot message and it's provided a window of opportunity for all the bigots to get up an roar again.

whatever. People see it for what it is.

There's a mosque 800 feet from the proposed centre, which in and of itself is not a mosque and it is further evidence of ignorance and bigotry that it keeps getting held out as such by those who are in opposition.

.

Do you think the Muslims who oppose it, are engaging in bigotry, and/or pettiness, and that they hate their own religion?

And is there bigotry involved in NYC officials rolling out the red carpet for the Islamic center, while the Port Authority seems to be dragging it's feet (at best) regarding St. Nicholas Orthodox Church? See: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=38462&s=rcmp

First off, I question the reasoning behind the opposition to the set up of the islamic centre. Why is it opposed? Really, look deep as to why you oppose it.

If you actually think that having a place of worship of god, a few blocks away from where a tragedy occured because 19 mostly saudi arabian wahabists in a criminal act of terror against the USA caused deaths, then you are suffering from a mental disconnect.

Why do you hate the religion of Islam? Because that is what you are doing. You are blanketing a billion people with your bigotted view in this little example.

You do realize there is already a mosque down the street? 800 feet away in fact. But because it's called a "majid" you are ignorant of it and therefore have no problem with it?

Are you going to start shouting about the other 20 or 30 mosques in manhattan as well?

I think people are engaging in political opportunism and the bigots and petty minded who cling to their hate are having a field day with it and on top of that are revealing what a huiuge lack of character and compassion they have.

For so long the right wingers of america have detested new york. They come down on it frequently as a den of infestation of gays and jews and then as soon as this came up, well hey, all of sudden right wing america now loves new york and is going to defend her from Islamization.

Oy Vey!

It is astoundingly petty, narrow, dumb, bigoted and the opponents are merely political opportunists and shills for the right wingers.

But hey, thanks for showing your colours. Good to know who the glenn beck ditto heads are.

Oh and hey, if you are well informed and not just a ditto head, then let me tell you that the Burlington Coat Factory hates your freedom.

Not going to answer the questions I posed to you David?

Why do you assume I hate the religion of Islam, David? Are you so politically correct, that you automatically come to that conclusion?

Do you have psychic abilities, that allow you to discern who does or doesn't detest New York?

Your ad hominem frothing at the mouth, shows your true colors, and when it comes to bigotry, you take a back seat to no one..
