that is why I haven't responded to the posts. It is showing ignorance and burying their head in the sand.
I could probably be accused of a lot of things, but "burying [my] head in the sand" certainly isn't one of them. Since I jumped into this discussion, I've read so many news articles, both pro and con, read testimonies from people who lost loved ones on 9/11 that DON'T want the mosque, read testimonies from people who lost loved ones on 9/11 who DO want the mosque, I've read the liberal left and the far right viewpoints, as well as other more moderate viewpoints... and after all of that I've come to a conclusion; for many people in this discussion, facts and evidence are completely irrelevant, unimportant and an annoyance and inconvenience to them.
It is "silly rhetoric" when I posted about what Muslims have told me from their own mouth.
Actually, the term I've been using is "empty rhetoric". But with regards to the arguments you've posted, I'd say a more accurate term would be esoterica.
Your argument seems to hinge upon the fact that you've spoken with your brother-in-law and your Muslim neighbors, an thus you've become an expert on Muslims, and we could never possibly understand because we haven't spoken with them. It seems as though you believe that your brother-in-law and your neighbors speak for the entire Muslim community, and that's that.
Further, your claim that we are "ignorant" further illustrates that you believe your position is esoteric, and understandable only by the initiated group who apparently agree with you.
Sharon, you are right. Ignorance truly is bliss.
Oy vey. It's incredibly frustrating to have someone constantly call you ignorant while offering nothing of substance to back such a charge. Oh, how I wish we could discuss the points raised in this discussion without resorting to such empty and pointless accusations.
