Q&A Remaking a Religion

Thanks to Dr. Pipes and Marvin Olasky for pointing out the obvious, which needs to be stated again and again, so that Muslims realize they have a choice of free will. Many muslims are honest, hard working, God fearing people who contribute much to society, and They too are tired of the radicals who continue to stir up violence or chaos. and adversity.

People in America will never comply with a Ground Zero Mosque, it is simply too painful and unreasonable to force the issue, So Why Force the Issue? What motives other than showing a Victory over the Infidel through barbaric acts could be reasonable? There are many sites that would serve the mosque just as well, and I would suggest that a willingness to get along with people and respect the wishes of the dead would go a long way in uniting people and showing Good Will.

America has always allowed Freedom of Speech and religion, but sadly it seems these Freedoms are not respected by all. Everyone deserves respect, especially the families of the Victims at Ground Zero.
