Question of the Day: What Do You Think About Opposition To A Mosque Near WTC Site?

There were hundreds of Muslim victims who died in 9/11 just like there were hundreds of whites, blacks, christians, etc. There is no reason to ban this other than xenophobia.

Banning this is like preventing churches to be made in black neighborhoods because of what the Ku Klux Klan did. The KKK were a christian extremist group, and they terrorized the black community for decades. But just because they were Christians doesn't mean that all Christians are like that.

Just like how not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are Muslims.

I think that PIX should get it right: it's the Landmarks Preservation COMMISSION, not Committee!!!!

Basically, YES - it seems that, indeed, ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS! A look at any news story proves that! Their murderous cult promotes killing what they term "infidels" - non-believers. Their cult also states that lying to a 'infidel' does not count as a lie, as 'infidels' are the enemy. Understand that, everyone! Yes, they are terrorists and definitely promote terrorism. The truth is the truth - get over it!!!

But weren't all of the terrorists, all of them that were, and are, in the news, muslims! Of course, they were, and are. You can make your own assumptions and declarations. But don't they all support the terrorists - we all think they do! Everybody really does believe that....no matter what they publicly say.

It's an un-American response in the sense of the true definition of being American and what our country was founded upon. It's American in that it's full of fear and arrogance. Bottom line, it's just sad.

i am an american muslim born and raised here and when i see these kinds of subject that we are being called terrorist or us women being oppressed and things of that nature it really makes me ashamed to be american first of i would like to say that james j is very wrong we are not terrorist some muslims may be very wrong at what they do but that does not mean all of us are like them and second us women of islam are not oppressed cuase if we are then nuns are too we cover the same parts of our body why you ask becuase when i guy looks at us we dont want them to see our body but look at our personality and lucy lee all of us do not support terrorist in fact most of us think its very wrong killing innocent people i think it would be a very good thing if a mosque was built there in our muslim communities if you guys wanted a church there we wouldnt want one but we would respect you guys for your faith and build one
