In new york, large protests are taking place aginst the contruction of a mosque near ground zero. However, muslims argue, we have the freedom of religon. This argument has been going on for a few weeks now, but plans to build it date back many months. Nobody said anything about it then. Do not get this wrong: the mosque is "near" ground zero. That is, a few blocks away. People blame the islams for the 9-11 attack; But the New York Imam Fesal Abdul Rauf says quote "it should not be christians agianst muslims, it should be christians and muslims working together to eliminate the extremists of both religons." Who do you agree with? Evan's blog of fun wants to know!
I think that this mosque should be built. These protests show that we are merely prejuiced aginst muslims. We moved to this country originally so we could quit the standard english church. So are we going to undermine our whole foundation after we've gone so far, worked so hard? Now, I know that people will still protest even as I say this, so I personally think that it would be a lot less hassle to built it somewhere else. You just have to put it into perspective. What if you were the muslim? What if people hated YOU because of your beliefs?
This is a mosque, a muslim center of worship.
Sould the mosque be built?:
