Sadly some people do not see this as a victory mosque, for that is what it is.

The muslims were offered land at a different location, guess what ? The muslims said no to land at a deep discount, they wanted the 9/11 site and nothing else.

Does this sound like the "make peace, and mutual respect" type of action the muslims said they wanted from this mosque.

Heck no !

The muslims have a violent history of conquest then building a mosque on top of a church, as a clear alpha dog symbol.

This is the same, at the Ground Zero mosque.

However if this iman wishes to prove that he is for real, then he could show us. First by denouncing the prophet muhammad when he said "there will be a time when even the rocks call out o' muslim slave of allah, there is a Jew behind me, come kill it" ( you know genocide ).

If the iman will say the prophet muhammad was wrong for calling for genocide of the Jews, then maybe we can trust him and his mosque.
