The Ground Zero Mosque

Hi, and welcome to the Sipsey Insider blog. This will accompany the newspaper, and have a personal spin on it. Now, you've probably heard about the controversial mosque, slated to be built near Ground Zero. 2 blocks away, in fact. Many important politicians and celebrities have spoken out on this hot button topic, mmostly in the negative. For exsample, Sarah Palin states, "Doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does throughout the heartland?" In my opinion, no, it does not. Muslims are not evil by virtue of their faith, only by interpreting it to mean the extermination of other peoples. Most Muslims do not advocate terrorism, and in fact despise it as much as the rest of us. Who do you think is being killed when we hear about "30 dead from suicide bomber in Pakistan"? In relation to our topic, the Muslims building the mosque near Ground Zero are not the terroristic kind. They are building, not destroying. Why should Muslims be condemned for building a mosque, when Jews could build a synagogue or Christians, a church, in exactly the same place? IN short, not all Muslims are evil, and neither are mosques. I hope you have an excellent day.
