A chorus of critics -- from neighbors to those who lost loved ones on
9/11 to me -- feel as if they've received a swift kick in the teeth.

Plans are under way for a Muslim house of worship, topped by a
13-story cultural center with a swimming pool, in a building damaged
by the fuselage of a jet flown by extremists into the World Trade
Center.

The opening date shall live in infamy: Sept. 11, 2011. The 10th
anniversary of the day a hole was punched in the city's heart.

run amuck or are they just nuts?Best RegardsTom.


Wow, that is almost as insensitive as the NRA holding their convention
in Denver right after Columbine...

What does the NRA convention have to do with Columbine? Is it the fault
of the NRA every time a criminal act is done with a gun? That convention
was planned for Denver long before Columbine, is there some reason to
postpone it? Would it have been OK in Washington, D.C., where the high
murder rate in that disarmed city could easily have accounted for the
same number of victims in the same amount of time?

Gotcha!!!!

I'm pretty certain these Muslims are not the ones that flew into WTC
either, so why are we so upset?

The Muslims that flew into WTC are dead so nevermind, right?

Seems to me that in a capitalist
society, anybody who wants to buy a building, and turns that building
into a house of worship, (especially for one of the worlds major
religions) can do so.

The symbolism and insult is the chosen site as opposed to perhaps
Fargo or somewhere in Queens.
