What do you think about this? I feel that it should not be built at ground zero because I find that extremely disrespectful to the families and victims of that infamous day.
Of course it's purposefully, the Muslims obviously think that they are doing a good thing, an act of peace. Had they built a church there for the citizens it would have been received as much more of a sign of peace though. They didn't think bout the perspective of the americans at all.
I don't know what the hell a Mosque is so I did some research .
Thank you Wikipedia for helping my out once again!
A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. Muslims
That's from Wiki . Umm I got no problem with it , I don't live in the US so it doesn't worry me . I couldn't care less if they built another one in Australia . Gives more places for Muslims to worship their gods and as long as their happy , I am happy.
Look at it from an American stand point. Imagine extremist Muslims blew up the Sydney Opera House, then on the 10 year anniversary of that act, Muslims plan to open a mosque right next to the site of the memorial. I think it's easy to see why some would find this offensive.

Exactly. Muslims build things on lands that they conquered and building a mosque near Ground Zero is sending a message that the Muslims have conquered a part of America.

So wherever you see a house of worship, you think someone has conquered it? 'Oh look, a new synagogue. Jewish people must have conquered this part. Another church? Looks like the Christians are taking over this area of town.'
If the 9/11 attackers happened to be Christian extremists, nobody would bat an eyelash that a church was to be built two blocks away more than a decade later.

Incorrect.
We'd be even more pissed off because America has given them places to worship for going on 250 years. Then they go blow us up? Seems pretty ungrateful.
'Oh look, a new synagogue. Jewish people must have conquered this part. Another church? Looks like the Christians are taking over this area of town.'
"Oh look, they massacred 2700 people, building a mosque right next to it, on the exact day ten years later, is totally not a way of saying they conquered. Oh no, this is completely not a way to show that they still don't like us."

The problem I have with your argument is the use of 'they'. The actions of several extremist people don't speak for the hundreds of millions of people who follow that religion, just as the actions of a Christian extremist does not speak for all Christians.
The terrorists are the one's who massacred the people. But it in the interest of normal, ordinary people in building the mosque.

Thats not what im saying. What im saying is that in muslim culture, they build things in areas considered to be in their control. I think that that is someone spiting in the face of the USA
What about Christian missionaries who build churches and chapels against the wishes of whichever culture they're trying to convert? I'd see that as 'building things in areas considered to be in their control.'
