We don't wanna hear idiots argue over this. It is clear-cut. Keep your opinions to yourselves. And certainly keep them at Posten. Ellen has other work to do. Don't piss me off. And I want you specifically to donate to the Pa Ousman Bojang Legal Relief fund we have going on here at Ellen. And then go away.

It was farce, deadly and an uncalled for aggression against innocent people all over, not only Americans, but all the victims and their families who happens to be from different Geographical backgrounds, including the one Gambian that died during the 9/11 blast.

For Muslims to build a mosque there, it is like a provocation to the American people, at least the way that many will perceive it. I hope those trying to build a mosque there are not loaded with such motives of provocation. I have no reason to believe so either.

Though, there is no relation to the Kaaba and the ground zero, it is just to say, there is no problem having a mosque at the former ground zero. It must not be sabotage from extremists who try to score points for the sake of more chaos for a decent world.

>Recently we may all have heard about the proposal to build a Mosque near ground Zero - the old site of World Trade Buildings in New York.  The debate has been very extensive and it has revealed some deep divisions on religious freedom that America has always championed. Both sides of the issue have advanced their case and it gets heated to an uncomfortable level.

>So I was curious as to what the Majority of the list members think about the idea of building the most at this sensitive site? What do you think are the down sides of building the Mosque and would it backfire on Muslims and put more scrutiny on the owners and people who will worship there?
> 
>What historic parallels if any can we draw from this controversy? Do majority muslims on this list support building the mosque? Does it vindicate the alleged attackers of 911? Would the mosque be used as a slap in the face of American society which is seen to be far more tolerance?
