Pics of things in New York the same distance from Ground Zero as the proposed Islamic Cultural Center.

Included are a strip club, a McDonald's, hawkers selling 9/11 souvenirs, and an OTB gambling parlor.

But all of those are OK, even on "hallowed ground," because they're not run by them eeeevil Moooselims and their heathen Gawd.

Since when have strippers, Ronald McDonald, souvenir hawkers, and OT betters advocated for establishing an Islamic sharia caliphate in the United States?

Well, some Christians advocate a Christian theocracy right here--guess we better ban Christian churches too.

In any event, that's beside the point.

For one thing, Christians do not advocate this.

The Gospel of John, chapter 8.

Doesn't matter. Here in America we have freedom of religion.

Or if a wife religiously believed it was her duty to burn herself upon the funeral pile of her dead husband, would it be beyond the power of the civil government to prevent her carrying her belief into practice?

So here, as a law of the organization of society under the exclusive dominion of the United States, it is provided that plural marriages shall not be allowed. Can a man excuse his practices to the contrary because of his religious belief? [98 U.S. 145, 167] To permit this would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect to permit every citizen to become a law unto himself. Government could exist only in name under such circumstances.

I guess you advocate getting rid of the Mormons as well then. Well, sorry about that Herr Heydrich, but here in the U.S. of A. we have freedom of religion, and that means everybody--even racist, bigoted scumbags.

Besides bitching about the mosque, what would be a real solution that could stop a church or mosque from being built? Can you legally say a mosque cannot be built when there are already churches (St. Paul's right across the street) and a mosque a couple of blocks away?

The heat must be getting to you.

I cite a pertinent SCOTUS ruling in response to your last post and you then pull an illogical Grand Canyon leap out of your hinder "guessing" that I advocate "getting rid of the Mormons."

The rest of your post is just typical you, also.
Have fun playing with yourself.

I say we raze everything in the area that isn't already a church and let every dang faith and denomination within those faiths cover the whole area with churches. Heck, through in a few meditation centers and New Age shops selling crystals and pyramids, too, for all I care. Don't forget a pasta restaurant to commemorate the FSM. I think the whole thing has been blown way out of proportion.
