Once again, you are taking the actions of a FEW extremists and projecting that onto ALL conservatives.

I have no reason to be 'ashamed' due to the actions of those people.

Side note: The vast majority of opponents to the mosque in NYC are NOT trying to deny Muslims their right to religious freedom. They are ASKING them to consider moving to a different location.

Why are they making that request?

Because they have the RIGHT to express their opinions on the topic. They PREFER that the mosque be moved further away from the site where muslim fanatics killed thousands of Americans (yes, including peaceful Muslims).

Like it or not, fair or not, 9/11 will always be associated with Muslims. It is a psychological response and while I personally think it is silly to try and put a 'sensitivity' distance on how close a mosque should be, I can also understand why some just want it further away. I don't think it is bigotry to ask for the consideration of moving to another location.

i know morons like Cypress want to paint everyone with the bigot brush, but 61% of New Yorkers don't want the mosque/community center built in that location.

Do you really think they are all bigots?

Frankly, I don't think it's fair that the site will be associated with "Muslims." How is that? I'm a new yorker, and it makes no sense to me. To me, it has as much logic as saying the hijackers were all men, so the site will always be associated with men, and it would be offensive if any male-owned businesses or organizations set up there.

"Bigot" to me is a strong word; I reserve it for Archie Bunker types or worse, who overtly display hate toward a general group. But yeah, I do think the people who say the location is in "bad taste" are displaying prejudice, and not "the good kind" that Yurt is talking about. They're basically equating all Muslims with the hijackers, and saying they are less than American. Muslims also died in the attacks, and fought in the 2 wars afterwards.
