There has been much controversy lately over the proposed Mosque/13 Story Muslim Community Center. On one side of the argument is that one of this countries founding principles was freedom of religion & as long as the money can be raised it should be built. On the other side there are those who feel that building a 13 story Mosque in the shadow of the WTC would be a painful reminder of that day & liken it to the Japanese building an amusement park complete with Zero Fighters by Pearl Harbour. While I strongly believe in the right to practice ones religion...is there really nowhere else to build the proposed community center?
However, I believe that if the three following stipulations can be met then I see no reason as to why the Mosque/Community Center should not be allowed to be built. They are:
1) Full disclosure on the funding of the Mosque to the very last cent. Hedge Funds raise $100's of millions all day long. This should be a no-brainer for a community that requires a 13 story community center. All the money should be required to come from within this country. Thus showing the American Muslims community commitment to this edifice. There is concern of Saudi Wahhabi financing, which they are well known to do & this will stop that from happening.
2) It might not hurt if the Imam's involved in the proposed Mosque/13 story Community Center were to denounce Al Queda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban etc...& like organizations that corrupt the Muslim religion by twisting it's beliefs to fit their insane bloodthirsty misogynistic ways
3) Last... but while not least...the absolute total no-brainer for the Muslim community. Allow the building of a Catholic Church, Jewish Temple/Community Center, Hindu Temple & Buddhist Pagoda in Mecca & Dubai. By letting the major religions of the world ( better yet offer this opportunity to any & all religions) to build in the high holy site of the Muslim religion Mecca & the high holy site of oil money Dubai a message of religious tolerance for the world to follow will be set in stone...so to speak.
Once the UN gets it's hands on this blog entry I'm sure this project will be good to go. I for one hope they put a pool on top of Park51's community center. I want to do my part to spread world peace by spending quality time conversing with the beautiful woman of the Muslim community.
Just please remember...when in Mecca & Dubai leave your Blackberry's at home. For obvious reasons they are not allowed & that should be understood & respected. (Yes I'm being sarcastic & yes you should know what I'm referencing here)
