groundwork

Gonna post interesting little things here on my tumblr about my life, and keep it as a day to day record of anything interesting. If nothing interesting happens, then it’ll just be a boring post. We all happy? Good, let’s start off with the first post.

the ground-zero mosque.

Clearly, the people who wanted to erect a mosque at the world trade center ground zero are stirring up trouble. Considering America and the kinds of people it contains, someone in some group is to be miffed about this. The buildings that once stood were destroyed by the same people who are wrongfully bunched in with Muslims. Although that should not bar Muslims from building a mosque there, it might not be accepted as well or taken in as well due to the connotation that Muslims are terrorists.

I personally think that a memorial would be fitting to have been built at ground-zero, but I have nothing against building a mosque. I’m just wondering if the originator of the idea knows what he’s up against. People show their disagreements or objections to an idea in various ways, and for the safety of all attendees of the mosque-to-be, I don’t think it should be built there. The ability to do so is fine, but the actualization of the idea doesn’t seem to be a good idea. [Yahoo! News]
