Did you look at the map of where it’s going to be built? It’s pretty *edited* close.
its at least 3-4 buildings away. plenty to not even be seen when standing at GZ

Very poor example.
If an American extremist group bombed Mecca, how fast do you think Obama and leaders from literally every Christian sect would criticize the attack? They’d be fighting each other backstage for the right to go on the air next.
I would still not consider the leaders of this country to accurately represent me and would wish that people around the world would not blame me for an attack I had no say in. Today talking with anyone random, especially in Blacksburg, Connecticut, and Newport News, they consider Muslims and Hindus to all be terrorist when not even 0.001% are. Even if none of the Islamic leaders in the world condemned the attack I would still not blame the entire religious population for it like we have in America.
The example was not meant to be taken literally anyways. Consider it a parable illustrating a point:
Each person has a different view point and penalizing a massive portion of the world for the attacks based on an unbelievably small population is ridiculous.
I’m just speaking from what observations I’ve made where I’ve lived. There may be sources on the internet proving me wrong, but I never trust statistics.

Considering New York City has a bad history of making Christians fight for the right to build or expand churches, is it really fair to let Muslims get an instant pass on the legal suits and public outcry?
Who said anything about a free pass? All I think is that they should have the same opportunity to build there as I am to build my church there. The fact a terrorist attack happened there should have no sway one way or another.
