The Mosque to be built at ground ZERO

Im curious to know what other peoples views are about the building of a mosque in new york on ground zero. Do you think it would be a good idea? in terms of stronger friendship ties with the Islamic religion and the followers of the religion, or Do you think it could go downhill altogether and create war?

Personally, having come across many people sceptical of Islam as religion, many fail to realise how beautiful it is. Although im not a muslim, i was raised as a Catholic and the older i grew, the more i distanced myself from religion altogether however, i do beleive in god. This whole controversy over building a mosque dead centre of ground zero, ofcourse would worry certain American citizens. Many whom are still very unaware of what islam teaches. Islam is not a terrorist religion, it does not teach one to be violent whatsoever, all these terrorism problems boil down to extremeism, all religions to some extent have extremists sadly. I can still however understand, the idea that this mosque will be a place of worship and prayer for those who lost muslim brothers sisters, fathers and mothers in the 9/11 incident.

However, many americans fear it will be a meeting place for extremists to meet an discuss further attacks. America and also many other Countries alike need to break out of this idea that Islam is a Terrorist religion. It has saddened me to read in Cnn that some Americans are even calling muslims 'the others' AND THAT THEY DO NOT BELONG IN America. What if someone turned around to a Christian or Catholic or any other religion and said the same thing?

Americans are already planning to blow-up the centre once it has been built..

We can also blame the media, for blowing Islamic Extremism wayy out of proportion, media alone has turned many people against the religion for all the wrong reasons such as violence and terror. If media was more responsible, they would promote sensetive issues and stop showing the world the bad side of everything and promote the good side and what religions such as Islam, Catholics christians etc..are all about. Leaders of all religions should stand up and explain things more, and muslims and non-muslims should get their heads together and be more culturally sensetive towards one another, respect differences and understand them too.

We all need to hold hands and embrace eachother as humans, show dignity and respect for one another. We need to learn more and stop hating, protect wildlife and stop the war..it would be complete heaven if we could all just stop fighting and hold hands, that is when god, mother nature and whoever else would smile upon us..maybe thats when we would understand how beautiful life on earth could really be.
