People seem to think that President Obama’s remarks regarding a Mosque beeing built near ground zero is unacceptable.
In President Obama’s speech yesterday, he gave an honest answer on whether or not a Mosque should be built near ground zero. The site where the Mosque is causing contreversy is an old abandoned Burlington Coat Factory.
Many people, especially Right Wing conservatives are using this as ammunition against the President whom we hope will be re-elected for another term. The issue appears to be that Muslims i.e. Al Queda were allegedly responsible for the 9/11 attacks, therefore it would be wrong to let Muslims practice their religion near Grond Zero. Here is the Presidents response regarding the Mosque possibly beeing put near Ground Zero.“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have 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.” I agree with our President. What do you think?
