James and Chas, you take pretty practical views, but do you agree that is would be wrong for the government to prohibit a group from building on the basis of their faith.
BTW, one of my favorite religious sites is in that area: the John Street Church. It is the first Methodist church building in the United States. Regards, D-ray

[QUOTE=piece-itpete;33715. If not, perhaps they can use it to showcase harmony and advance our cause.
Pete[/QUOTE] Pete, tell me if I'm right. The only way I could interpret your statement about "advance our cause" is that you were referring to human beings in general. I would agree that any successful effort at overcoming differences serves everyone's interest. But then, I should expect that view from someone with a good sense of humor. Regards, D-Ray

Depends on your pov, it's either enslaving the entire planet or bringing the benifits of an open 'free' society to as many as possible

Nope, don't care.
I had heard about this, but through an extremely far right wingnut at the plant. Which means his take on it was heavily polluted with half-truths and the obligatory Hannity-esque Limbaughisms, (The man has no mind of his own.). So, I had just dismissed it as BS. Now that I know it's an Interfaith type thing aimed at promoting religious harmony, I think it could be good idea. Or at least an idea that does no harm. Or should I festoon my bulbous physique with tea bags, chain myself to a pole at the construction site with a American flag and an "ObamaHitler is trying to KILL Jesus" sign, a t-shirt that says "I don't know really what it is, but I think it should probly be stopped!"?

But I would probably inform them that the city wasn't going to bear the costs of stationing a battalion of police around their building to keep the locals from burning it down every night. In other words, it's a big world, and there are better places for them to build their mosque. Trouble will find you, you don't have to go looking for it. IMHO, that is precisely what they are doing.

There are better places to build it. This guy is not American, but IMO he is correct on where America should allow them to build it.

What do you make of that? Dave
