How I feel about the Ground Zero Mosque

I am in full support of the Ground Zero Mosque. I am of Christian faith, but as a Christian I believe Muslims deserve a place of worship just as much as we do. This country was founded for people of all religions to worship without persecution. I believe that anyone who is truly patriotic and values the principles on which this great nation was founded would support the Ground Zero Mosque. When people allow fear and misunderstanding of Islam to grow and flourish, terrorism wins. Islamic Extremists, who use terrorism to hurt innocent people, use our fear and pain of September 11, 2001 against us and enjoy American's non-support of the mosque. They can use that to encourage others in opposing nations to support their views and continue to hurt people. Finally, the Ground Zero Mosque should be used to show the world that we are still a beacon of hope, freedom, and democracy for all. The Ground Zero Mosque should be used to "slap" terrorism in the face! It will show that we are beginning to recover and overcome our fears of Islam as the great Americans we are, instead of succumbing to them.

  1. I am total agreement with you, however people free what they don't know or understand, most people that are against the Ground Zero Mosque, do not fully understand what its really about, and they believe what people tell them instead of being fully educated on a subject.
