I just finished reading about 4 Muslim men who are on trial in NEW YORK CITY for plotting to blow up yup you guessed it synagogues. wow talking about peaceful. how can you talk about building a mosque on ground zero is just a "bridge to peace" when on the other hand your plotting to blow up synagogues. I bet they are just misunderstood, they were probably just trying to clear a sight for a new "bridge to peace"

Thing that come to mind.
1. It is not going to be built on "ground zero" and it is not a mosque, it is a community center.
2. The four men have no relationship with the people building the community center.
If there is any hypocrisy here it is being exhibited by you. Could you come off as a more intolerant, misguided bigot if you tried?

the hypocrisy is that regardless of their relationship,MUSLIMS ARE PREACHING PEACE AND TRYING TO BUILD THE MOSQUE ON GROUND ZERO, then with the same breath MUSLIMS ARE BEING TRIED FOR TRYING TO DESTROY SYNAGOGUES, in the same city.
Ground Zero is the destruction site not just where the World Trade was the building that was there was a Burlington Coat factory, landing gear went threw the roof

What's the relationship between these 4 men and Park 51? Or do they just all look alike to you?

the difference is that Hutaree and Westboro baptist church have not caused destruction on a large scale like radical Muslims have. I am willing to bet that hardly anyone inside or out side of the US even know who these groups are,, go any ware in the world and ask them to describe a terrorist You will get a Muslim not a Christian

Point being, if you're going to lump all Muslims together as one because of the radical practitioners, then it stands to reason that you'd agree that Christians as a whole are also assassins and terrorists, since there is a notable amount of Christian-inspired terrorism in this world. To do otherwise would reveal a glaring double standard and personal bias on your part.
The renown does not matter. Universal "bad guys" change with time. That does not mean the entire religion or philosophy is bad or that every practitioner is a potential terrorist or extremist.

my point is that just as this mosque or Islamic center is in the news saying that it is there right to build in the same place that practitioners of their religion destroyed, you also have practitioners of this so called peaceful religion, in the same city trying to blow up synagogues. you are assuming that I am christian because I do not want the mosque built in NYC on Ground Zero. this discussion is not about the merits or demerits of the two religions, that is for another post, both religions have spread threw terrorism. I am pointing out the irony in the two stories

Just because Four Muslims were on a search and destroy Synagogue trip that day does not mean they have any connection to the proposed New Muslim Community Center. That is just Bizarre. When our Synagogue here in Fl. was messed with, was that in retaliation too? What about the ones in California? Do you really think that they are blaming the Jews for their troubles? We haven't said Boo about their Community Center. Get a grip.
I am not in favor of the building, but it has nothing to do with 911 and I am just 1 lonely Jew. I doubt these Muslims blew up four Synagogues, because they heard that I did not like the new building proposed.
As far a "Bridge to Peace" goes, it only takes one fanatic to spoil it all for everyone. Just as when enough radicals live amongst the moderates and start to enforce Sharia Law, the moderates do not resist. They never have the guts to resist.

As others have already pointed out to you, your *connection* is idiotic. The Muslim extremists are called "extremists" for a reason, kiddo. They do not represent the general population of people who are of the Muslim faith. Stereotyping is ugly no matter who it is aimed at.

I was pointing out the hypocrisy not stereotyping. 4 MUSLIMS tried to blowup synagogues in the same city where they (muslims) want to build a mosque as a bridge to peace, in the same city where MUSLIMS killed 3000+ people

This is a clear threat to the people of New York. maybe they shouldn't allow to built that mosque. knowing that muslim extremist still exist i believe they should put it some where else. i won't be surprised if teh new World Trade Center is put down again. probably Mosque shouldn't be built near US critical structures. just saying.

These four men, do they have anything whatsoever to do with the group that wants to build this mosque, or are you just tarring all Muslims with the same brush? There's nothing at all wrong with people peacefully practising their religion. Incidentally, the mosque isn't being built on Ground Zero, just in the same general area.
