Allow the mosque to be built, and stop trampling on religious freedom for fear of a terrorist attack. You deny religion, the terrorists/militias get their way anyways...it's a lose-lose situation if you ignore actively stomping out religious intolerance and militia/terrorist groups that hold those ideals.

All disallowing the mosque does is give those intolerant people what they want. Is that the type of country you want to be living in? It could be Jews or Christians next, if those militias decide that's what they want to go after.


Enough of your patronizing tone. If you want to simply discuss the topic as we have above w/o the personal shots, then go for it. I have no problem doing that. Just don't lump my discussion and viewpoints in with someone else's either when they're from a completely different perspective.

If you want to continue acting like I'm covering R13's ass when I don't even like him, AND I sent him a PM yesterday warning him and telling him to back off or he was going to get banned and Politics/Religion board access taken away...then go ahead. You look like the idiot in that case, and the repercussions are yours to have.

Isn't the government trying to put a lid on militia's? What about Ruby Ridge? Did the government not stop them? Did I ever say I agree with the militia's? Did I ever say that muslime don't have the right to build there...as a matter of fact I said it was their absolute right. I just questioned their judgement on the location. And for that you theaten to ban me and r13. i mean, Jesus Christ, dude. Can't anyone have a disagreement and state their opinion on here any more without you threatening to ban? I hold no ill feelings toward him, I do think he is too liberal thinking for his own good, but then again, I guess he feels I am a little too conservative.

Do I think you need to ease up some? Yep, sure do, but then again, so do a lot of other people. Just an opinion. Like I say, opinions are like a@@holes, everybody has one. The only thing I think r13 needs to do is to quit posting the whole article on stuff, it takes up room and it tends to get people dis-interested in what he is trying to say. Post the link instead. If people are interested, they will click the link.

Nope, I was not patronizing and if you thought that I was, then that was you who mis-understood my last post. I did say that I respectfully disagree, and that was not patronizing. I can not and will not agree with the principles that the extremist muslims have and there will be extremists there, there always is as with any other religion.
