Freedom of what religion?

We were recently asked how we felt about the plans to build a mosque near the ground zero site in New York City. First of all we should point out that the plan is to build a Muslim Civic Center with an area for daily prayer. So it isn't exactly a mosque. The arguments against building it are mostly from the extreme right, they feel that building a mosque so close to ground zero would be insulting to those who died there.
We couldn't disagree more, the assholes who flew the planes into the Twin Towers were not true Muslims, the crime they committed is forbidden by the Quran, in Chapter 17:34, when a Muslim is in a foreign country he is bound by the laws of that country, those guys are not getting their 72 virgins in heaven folks. So not building the Mosque due to the builders being Muslim would be much the same as not building a church near the Olympic Village in Altanta where Eric Rudolph (a self professed Christian) planted a bomb that killed one and injured 150 in 1996. Some people of course state that the Quran requires Muslims to kill infidels. Something mainstream Muslims would simply not do. It should be pointed out that Dueteronomy chapter 13 advocates destroying any city found to be worshiping other gods. It advocates not only killing the people of the city, utterly destroying it, but also says you should kill the livestock, (poor cows never worshiped anybody.)
and take all the plunder from the city and burn it in the center of town. The point is this. Our founding fathers made it clear that the government of the United States can not and should not dictate to religion in this country. Any religion. So lets show the world exactly how much we cherish our freedom and let the Muslim community build the Mosque in New York. It won't change any of the extremist Muslims mind about America, but it will prove to the rest of the world how we feel about our freedoms. Thats about it, sorry to pontificate, ciao for now.
