Or hell, while we're burning Korans, why don't we just fly a plane into Mecca? That'd be the ultimate disrespect. That'll show em.

Well, I am not generally an advocate of such things but if we did, would muslims then conclude that it was just a small violent faction of Americans responsible and not the majority who are peace loving?

There's clearly been a backlash of violence surrounding the mosque controversy.

Of course not right off hand but I don't think anyone was extremely comfortable with Islam for a good time after 9/11 happened. But it helps that a lot of building bridges and investigation went on after that. I mean the whole, "you hurt me, so I'm gonna hurt you back" thing is so Neanderthal, especially after so much work has been done to get Americans and Muslims to come to terms and understand what happened in terms of 9/11.

Would you conclude that Iran and its people? Talked to a friend of a friend several times who has been and lived in Iran and said a strong majority of Iranians are not only peace loving, but enjoy western culture. They understand its politics which divide the governments of the us and iran. He says its more obivious with the 30 and under crowd. This guy is not middle eastern or persian either, pale irish decent...its funny how media can twist sh*t

You know FD, each time I see you write posts like this I feel that this isn't how you truly feel, like you do this more because you have a reputation as a crazy right wing lover to live up to. You can't actually believe half the stuff you type do you?

So your saying that Bush did not ask the press to hold stories for safty reasons that they ran anyways?

[SmootSmack]

This has nothing to do with Bush, Obama, Clinton, Reagan, McKinley, Hayes, Filmore or any other President

Got it.
I think you can probably look for more of it, and it's hard for me to believe that was not a consideration to those that contrived the notion to build it there. Kind of surprising.........

Actually no, what I am saying is that I believe that you actually don't believe the crazy shit that you post on the boards. That you have a reputation as a crazy right winger to live up to and that's why you write what you write.

There's no way in hell you can read what I just wrote and infer that I must be some kind of Bush/Obama/anybody else in politics lover. I don't even mention them. They have nothing to do with this post, or this thread, for that matter.

Comes with the territory I guess. Would it really matter where they built it though? It's not like anti-Muslim sentiment is something new in this country post 9/11.

I don't think it would be as popularized in........Rancho Cucamonga, rather than 9/11ville

[quote=DynamiteRave;729739]Probably because the majority of Muslims are peaceful and denounce the those who practice radical forms of Islam like those who acted in 9/11.

I can't wait till people start burning the Bible again.[/quote

Didn't know they stopped.
