Oh...a random Muslim has come out against the Lower Manhattan community center. That must mean that it's a bad idea!

The artist of that cartoon probably posts here on CF. He pegged Eschatology, News and Current Events and American Politics perfectly.

Do you believe it is a good idea?

Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid is no "random Muslim". That is why I included his bio. But let me quote what he says about the placing the mosque in this location:

Some Muslims will consider that building a mosque on this site immortalizes and commemorates what was done by the terrorists who committed their crime in the name of Islam.

I do not think that the majority of Muslims want to build a symbol or a worship place that tomorrow might become a place about which the terrorists and their Muslim followers boast, and which will become a shrine for Islam haters whose aim is to turn the public opinion against Islam.

This is what has started to happen now; they claim that there is a mosque being built over the corpses of 3,000 killed US citizens, who were buried alive by people chanting God is great, which is the same call that will be heard from the mosque.

It is the wrong battle, because originally there was no mosque in order to rebuild it, and there are no practicing Muslims who want a place in which to worship.

Did a little more research on this "random Muslim" who spoke out against a mosque at ground zero.

Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed is the general manager of the TV station which Barack Hussein Obama selected for his first formal TV interview as president.

Al Arabiya is based in the UAE and broadcasts worldwide. It is partially owned by the Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC)--a Saudi owned company.

Based in the UAW?

Is that a typo, or did you conflate your hatred of the American working class with your disdain for Islam?
