Not really, as you say the facts may be somewhere between what is reported, nonetheless the facts that extremists are behind the Islamic centre may also be true.
But if you read my reply you know that I was addressing your cliams regarding the Greek Orthodox Church, not the proposed Islamic center.
The reality is the church was destroyed, an Islamic centre wasn’t. The fact is the president has put his weight behind the Islamic centre and not the church to be rebuilt.
If you read the article that I cited, you know that the church is free to rebuild on its original site. No one is stopping them. The reson that they haven't rebuilt there is because they want a larger site.
Further the President has not "put his weight behind the Islamic center" as you claim. He did deliver a speech in which he said the following:
"But let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. The writ of our Founders must endure."
He was correct in what he said--this is a matter of property law. The Islamic center has been approved by local officials. Frankly it was a stupid statement for him to make because it will most certainly hurt his party in the upcoming general election, but the fact remains that waht he said was correct.
The fact is the twin towers were not destroyed in the name of Christianity but in the name of Islam.
They were destroyed by Islamic extremists, but that isn't the issue that I addressed in my post. I specifically addressed the matter of the Greek Orthodox Church which, as I said, is free to rebuild.
Not good enough. In any case it is a matter of an "endless liberal argument" that is against Christianity, that’s exactly what it is.
Maybe if you would actually take the time to examine the facts you would realize that you are wrong. Again, no one is stopping the Greek Orthodox Church from rebuilding on its original site. The reason they haven't rebuilt the church is because they don't want to rebuild there and the Port Authority--for whatever reason--is no longer willing to pay for them to rebuild on a different site. They are not being stopped by " an 'endless liberal argument' that is against Christianity" as you claim.
If you have facts regarding the Greek Orthodox Church to support your claims please offer them. All I'm seeing is opinion.
