Mosque to be built at ground zero

I calmly discuss issues and point out facts while you...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — If building an Islamic center near ground zero amounts to the epitome of Muslim insensitivity, as critics of the project have claimed, what should the world make of Terry Jones, the evangelical pastor here who plans to memorialize the Sept. 11 attacks with a bonfire of Korans?

Mr. Jones, 58, a former hotel manager with a red face and a white handlebar mustache, argues that as an American Christian he has a right to burn Islam’s sacred book because “it’s full of lies.” And in another era, he might have been easily ignored, as he was last year when he posted a sign at his church declaring “Islam is of the devil.”

“We have to be careful,” he said. He tapped a holster on the right hip of his jean shorts; it held a .40-caliber pistol, which he said he was licensed to carry. “The overall response,” he added, “has been much greater than we expected.”

Mr. Jones who seems to spend much of his time inside a dank, dark office with a poster from the movie “Braveheart” and a picture of former President George W. Bush, appears to be largely oblivious to the potential consequences of his plans. Speaking in short sentences with a matter-of-fact drawl, he said that he could not understand why other Christians, including the nation’s largest evangelical association, had called for him to cancel “International Burn a Koran Day.

And Al-Qaeda appears to be the consensus of the typical Muslim... to small minded ignorant sluts here in Uhmerikuh.

No, it ain't.

Is building a cultural center in THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR DECADES in bad taste? Only to ignorant sluts.

On a side-note, for all you Constitution lovers, they have every right to do that. Burn Qurans. They have the right, but is it in good taste??? Does it create disharmony and bad relations??

Seems to me that Gainseville didn't give the Dovers a permit for health and safety reasons. If the Dovers abide by municipal codes and get the proper permits, they can burn whatever. As much as I disagree with their point of view, I will support their rights.

Gene's right. Those people are whack-jobs. To say they represent New York sentiment or general American sentiment is disingenuous.

"Dragging feet" = disallowed

*consistently presents the extremes of his political opponents as being the mainstream*



*cries when faced with his own medicine*



*is bluering*

And do you think a small Church was denied the right to burn probably a small bonfire worth of Qurans? Political?

Seriously Blurring, is building a Catholic church near an Elementary School in poor taste? Explain.

If the Greeks had any money I'm sure their church would be built. They aren't being "disallowed."

Explain why.

The fact that some Catholic priests ass fuked little boys makes it offensive and in poor taste to build a Catholic church within a mile of an Elementary school.
