New York: the World Jihad Center
Land of the what?
Free? (x_X)
So. the MTA has approved advertisements, such as the one you see above ^^^^
I don’t have to say anything. It speaks for itself.
The Teabaggers, excuse me, Tea Party members that came up with this sued the MTA for originally deciding not to approve this advertisement. I have to applaud the MTA for their initial decision, kudos. I’m sure they couldn’t handle a Teabagger lawsuit with the way their budget looks so I understand their decision to approve it, especially since we’re all so “Constituationally aware” these days.
But, what upsets me the most is that after all we’ve been through with this whole Islam/Christianity, desecration of the Islamic holy land, 9/11 mumbo jumbo, we still don’t get it.
This kind of response to the building of the Islamic Community Center (not a mosque), is exactly why there’s a hole in the middle of the World Trade Center right now.
Discrimination based on religion.
SMH.
Don’t get me wrong, the WTC was built on Indian/African American burial sites anyway so that was their first mistake, no rabbit foot could get you out of the repercussions of doing something like that. And, I’m not saying the 9/11 attacks were wrong, because they were.
But you’re telling me, in 2010, people would be up in arms about the construction of an Islamic community center near the WTC just because they’re Muslim?
Maybe they should call it the “Middle Eastern Cultural Center” or something like that. Base it on ethnicity.
Shoot, just call it the African American Cultural Center, I’m sure they’ll build it then (sarcasm).
If anyone is worried about home grown Islamic extremist terrorism, they’d rebuild North Philly. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a trip there and see for yourself.
This is just more bad blood being built over ignorance.
Land of Glee, home of the hate.

I have to disagree. Its too soon and its too close. Its almost like they’re building it to make us angry. It may sound childish and ignorant but for those who were directly affected and are still living in NY its like a constant reminder. 9/11 happened 9 years ago but the images are still very memorable..

I agree with you.
It’s very close in the proximity of time, but, don’t you think an Iraqi or Afghan be upset if someone tried to build a church on one the plot of some of the many holy places we’ve destroyed in the last few years of war?
I don’t think to many American citizens would be up in arms about that, we’d probably just build it anyway.
