Today in class we debated a religious problem that's being debated over a lot in a city near me. Apparently some Islamic people would like to build a large mosque (Sorry if I misspell any of these.) for them to worship in. Some people don't want them to build it there because it's near their homes. Others don't want them to build it as they feel offended. It seems like the majority are in favor of denying them the right to build the building. That's pretty much all I know on the subject so far, and I try to find a link for it. In my opinion, any religious group has the right to build their place of worship anywhere they are legally allowed to. As long as they're not hurting me, I'm fine. My question to you is, Should they be able to, or should they not? Why? (Please don't turn this into a fight thread. I want to hear both sides on this.)

Yet they'd be the first to bitch if you complained about a church being built.
They are just bigots.
There is no reason to deny them from building the mosque.

That's basically how I feel, but I do understand somewhat If they were building right next to your home. If they say no just because they believe that their religion is right & the other religions are wrong, then that isn't a legit reason. They may be right, they may be wrong, let them do what they do. If you feel like they're wrong, why would you care?

Why would somebody feel "offended" by someone's place of worship being near them? It's not like they're being forced to go to it or anything.
I'm not really in to the whole religious thing, but I think that's ridiculous.

Next to a house? No problem there. I mean, maybe crowds could be an issue, but as far as it being Islamic, there shouldn't be a problem.

They could at least say it's a zoning issue, at least then you don't sound like a xenophobe or a raging bigot.

We should not vote on religious freedom in America. They are legally allowed to build their mosque every bit as much as anyone else is allowed to build a church.

No way in hell should a mosque be built near ground zero.

Under what law says they cannot freely build their mosque/Islamic community center?

I just don't feel like it should be built any where near. Besides it is possibly dangeorus to put the mosque/community center there. I'm sure there is a nutjob/extremist who will vandalize it or even worse.

Well, don't put it there, some people may take it too far and bomb it. So let's not build it at all. There are zero reasons why the mosque/community center should not be built where they want to build it. It is not a "HA HA look at what we did on 9/11" memorial building.

They should be allowed to build it three blocks from ground zero. I don't like it, but I believe that they have the right, too.

So you think that a mosque anywhere else has an equal chance of being bombed? I seriously doubt the mosque half a mile from my house has an equal chance of being bombed. I just think not having it built would be in New York City's best interests.

I mean those churches could have been burnt down or bombed too. Fear should not stop us from having religious freedom.
