In the wake of the constant talk of the "Ground Zero Mosque", which is actually a community center, certain right wing pundits have suggested the proposed "Islamophobia" by left wingers isn't the case, and America doesn't have a problem with Islam or Muslims....
...really?
Even after this...
Or this....
Or how bout all of this....

Now how could any reasonable person, in light of all that evidence, think America doesn't have an Islam problem? Now listen, I'm not a religious person. I think that equally more evil and bad is perpetuated through these institutions because they're mired in bad thought processes and ultimately ego trips. All religions share the same truth but no one can sift through their own bullshit to realize it. That's why you have so many denominations of Christians! I never got that. They all believe in Jesus, but they have their own way of doing it? Whatever, all I'm saying religion causes more problems than it fixes. And it's truly a shame. Look at this situation.
This is another basic civil rights issue. Just like gay marriage, another hotly contested item here in America, religion seems to take the forefront of logic. First amendment gives rights to citizens to freedom of religion.
FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
Which means Muslims have the right to build a mosque WHERE EVER THE FUCK THEY WANT TO! This is a non issue. And I know some people will say it's not right because it's too close to ground zero(even though a mosque has been mere blocks from the two towers since... BEFORE there were 2 towers there)because of what happened on 9/11. Here's a news flash, Muslims died on 9/11 too. How come people conveniently forget that? Must we demonize an entire religious group because of the act of the few. The extremists that made the decisions to commit such heinous acts on 9/11 are to blame, not Islam. Period. The discussion should end there. Because if it doesn't, then why don't we treat CHRISTIAN EXTREMISTS the same way? How come no one bitches about their religious path but Muslims are made out to be villainous and evil.
It's ignorant. And it's wrong. Borderline bigotry masked as sincerity. I'd have more respect for these people if they came out and said it. The open aired sense of hatred, racism, and homophobia in this country is enough to make a man scream!
What they fuck's happening to our country?
