Billy Graham, just because he may serve other groups doesn't mean he is the "Rev." for all of them.<br />@Dirtydog - extremists attacked the WTC. Just as extremists from other cultures have acted horrifically. Hitler was a German Nazi extremist promoting white anglosaxon values, but not all Germans are bad, nor do Nazis reflect the real values of white Christians. We have made sweeping persecutions before and should have learned from our mistakes. Japanese Internment Camps during WWII were unjust because they assumed all Japanese Americans were traitors; McArthy blacklisted people because of perceptions - not facts. Again, fear is perpetuating the belief that Muslims are bad. Extremeists are bad - of any race, creed, origin, and sex.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/14/nyregion/14mosque.html?_r=1<br /><br />http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2008432,00.htmlIris Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493628773816626887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2009059542450764589.post-80252032704465168422010-08-15T21:42:21.442-04:002010-08-15T21:42:21.442-04:00If it is "only a community center", then...If it is "only a community center", then why does it need an Imam?

You can dress a pig up in a dress but it is still a pig. You enjoy the concept of freedom and independence in our country but deny it in your own countries and wish to destroy it in this country. Sorry to bother you so much, I will let you get back to beating and raping your women and keeping them in servitude.dirtydog1776https://www.blogger.com/profile/15661654336486628998noreply@blogger.com
