Im not basing my opinion off of muslims im basing mine off of Muhammad who wrote the quran and broke every rule in that book. Dont judge a christian off of what others christians do base it off of what Jesus Christ did.


I totally disagree. The founding fathers were clear about a separation of church and state. They were also very clear about freedom of religion. VERY CLEAR

Quote:
The concept of separation of church and state refers to the distance in the relationship between organized religion on the one hand and the nation state on the other. The idea was the subject of much discussion over 2000 years. The term "wall of separation" was first used in an informal letter by President Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to a committee of Baptists in Connecticut. Jefferson referred to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between church and state.[1] The phrase was quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1947.


Now lets move on to the Bible. It is filled with examples of God's cruelty and violence. In the link below are 1199 examples of this.

You cant call out another religion if yours contains the same cruelty and violence.

The point I am making here is that anyone can worship anything they please an build a church, or in this case a "Community Center" (NOT A MOSQUE) if they have the money and backing.

San Francisco actually has the church of satan, and I dont see anyone raising hell about that.

Be careful you don't judge an entire faith by the most radical tiny fraction. Christians are dirty in that regard too.

I am not a Muslim, not do I agree with how they treat women, and other things, but in our system, they have as much right to worship as you or anyone else does. This is what makes our country great.

Lets not do what we did to the Japanese in WW2. If you remember, the Japanese American troops were some of the most decorated in all of WW2. Meanwhile we confiscated their land and property, and sent them to internment camps.
