why there's a big problem when people equate islam with nine eleven going after the oklahoma city bombing happened we don't equate you know christianity with that i think it's the qur'an teaches peace and nonviolence. if the mosque up holds the traditions of the qur'an i don't have any problem with it i have a problem with anybody blowing up buildings i'm all for it so why do you think some people get so emotional and say it's the wrong thing to do because i think this is frustrated with their ignorance so they need somebody to blame something to blame so. that's like one way to go about it people who are afraid of the unknown they don't understand. so maybe building a mosque would help people understand and the idea is that the way i understand it is actually not just a mosque it's a center for interactivity it's a center for people to meet i believe it's been supported by some rabbis actually i think it's all politics and i think they use in the media to make it an excuse to do what they want to do for the best interests of the politicians it doesn't matter all of the emotions that they
