Maybe you should branch out and make some muslim friends too.
You do get you can be a racist or bigot and not harbor ill will towards mexicans or black people right? Just because you thankfully got your eyes opened to how people are people regardless of skin color when it comes to those two races, doesn't mean you still dont have work to do.
ever have real empinadas?
Yup. And bag fulls of my grandmas tamalis too.
If Muslims were so caring for "us" they would put the mosque someplace else! They do not care about 911 widows or whatever, they do not understand because you have the right to do something that does not always make it right. To them it's about conquest. It's a symbol of victory in which case we are the ones defeated. Defeated right here in the heart our home. Right at ground zero the same place they succeded in attacking us on 911. The Imam told me opposing the mosque would lead to violence and I say that building it will lead to violence as well...
Your right, them not moving it is about dominance, but not the way you wish to see it.
If they move that community center, it is because the people that don't care to understand why they chose that place want to dominate what a peaceful group of people that live in that community want to do with their own property, just because they are judge them evil, because of their ethnicity.
They did not attack the twin towers, no more than the catholic church blew up northern england and ireland. Nor as much as the southern bapist church I went to as a kid responsible for all the hate crimes in the south. Even though the people that commit these horrific crimes happen to be of a race or religion, its not the fault of all the people in those religions that these things happen.
I would love to get into how they are moving this community center from two blocks away to the new site because it is a burlington coatfactory that is no longer there and the building is much larger for them. Which means more jobs for the people building this, and more tax revenue for the city, and that this gives the children of the area a safer option for playing in the city, but whats the point.
You are not ready to see that these people are just the next up on the racist bigot block. Poor white people like yourself just need someone to hate. If it is not indians, or black people, or chinese people, or mexicans, or cubans, or gay people, it may as well be muslims I guess.
