mosque near ground zero ?

My only point was what I said. If you want to read more into it that's your choice.

I'm not going to play your game. My point was simple...reciprocity of tolerance, or lack thereof. I said nothing about not building an intercultral faith center (what ever that is) here, only implied that we wouldn't be afforded the same tolerance. That is all.

You'll forgive me, I hope, If I don't believe a word of it.

This is America. You're afforded many freedoms here not allowed other places in the world.

For the record:

There are no christian churches in Saudi Arabia

Saddam did allow christians in Iraq - Toraqu Aziz (sp?) is/was a christian (is he still alaive)

Christian churches in Egypt are not permitted any outward display of christian religious symbols.

etc.

So what?

Saddam did allow christians in Iraq - Toraqu Aziz (sp?) is/was a christian (is he still alaive)

Tariq Aziz is imprisoned at Camp Crocker. Some might call that living.

Another Christian is Hanan Ashrawi, the former chief spokesperson for the Palestinian delegation to the first Mideast Peace Talks.

Christian churches in Egypt are not permitted any outward display of christian religious symbols.

etc.

Again, so what? These facts are only relevant if you're arguing that they disqualify Muslims - or some Muslims - from enjoying the religious freedom here that they deny Christians in their countries of origin.

We're supposed to be better than that.

Okay, here goes!

The Mosque of the Red Death!

The first amendment clearly says something about freedom of religion (as long as you're a fundamentalist Christian, of course). At least that's what Deacon Hannity seems to be saying.
