Posted by JayZeeBMT on Tue Aug 3 10:26:53 2010, in response to Landmarking of 45-47 Park Place denied, posted by AMoreira81 on Tue Aug 3 10:16:21 2010. I actually agree with Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio, who supported the Ground Zero mosque on First Amendment grounds. Religious freedom is one of the cornerstones of our democracy, and it's one of the reasons Al-Qaeda targeted the WTC over in the first place. I can think of no more fitting tribute to those who died at the WTC on 9/11--including some very dear, close personal friends and colleagues--than for this mosque to be erected near Ground Zero. It would be a very visible sign to the world that we still hold our religious freedom dear, even in the face of extreme evil.My own idea, an interfaith chapel at the 9/11 memorial site, would go even further towards achieving this goal. |
