Have you seriously read the Quran, and studied the history?

Not that I have. Since I havent, I tend to take any one source or type of source with a grain of salt.

The bottom line though, is regardless of the opinions of the "nation". The fact is, zoning issues and whatnot are a local issue. If the people of NYC do not want X,Y or Z build at whatever locale, its up to them do do something about it.

Anyone else making inflammatory comments is just trying to grab a spotlight. The part about blocking the Orthadox church is fucked up, I will agree. But instead of focusing on the faux pax of the local authorities - so many seem to be using this as an excuse to vent hate against Islam.

Holding the whole religeon accountable for the Islamist extremists is like holding all of Christendom accountable for the Ku Klux Klan.
