Q: Why are people are opposed to this mosque?
A: It's a mosque.
These are the same people who don't like the thought of building more mosques anywhere in America :T
Its not that we're oppose to mosque building. What we're asking is for them to show consideration to the victims and family of people who lost their lives on 9/11 to not build there. Legally they have the right to build there as they did pass all the zoning codes.
Islam expects us to show consideration to them regarding their way of life, and we're just asking for a little back. Seems like they aren't willing to return the favor. The mayor has even offered them State Land and various other solutions to build somewhere else, but various reports have stated that they specifically want that Burlington Coat Factory Building because a wheel of one of the Airplanes that hit that tower landed on that specific building. No idea why that matters to them.
People are using the 4 blocks away story as an argument against it. I see churches closer together than that. There's even a place here with churches across the street from each other. I'm saying it makes no sense to use that as an argument unless people are hypocrites saying it's not okay for a mosque but fine for churches.
Muslims dies in 9/11, show some consideration to them and stop ignoring that?
I never said Muslims didn't die during 9/11. I was talking about victims as a whole. I see it as Americans that died on 9/11.
You seem to think that I'm just talking about Christians and that everyone that died is White during 9/11.
I was posting the various solutions that are being talked about.

The crusades argument really should've ended wolfram's posts.

And to those who say that any location in lower Manhattan is too close for a Muslim structure, let me remind you that right now, in the shadow of what would be the former World Trade Center, there’s a Halal Meat Hot Truck with a multi-denominational line that wraps around my building every day at lunch time. And I’m positive that’s owned by a Muslim. And I’ve even suffered at his hands. (Spoiler alert: avoid the goat rhoti). Should he move a few more blocks away too? Of course, not. That would just be silly, right? Is it different? Why? Because mosques are religious and the 911 terrorists perverted Islam into something violent and hateful? Guess what? Those knights did the same thing to Christianity for the 300 years of the Crusades, and no one’s saying that churches shouldn’t be built anywhere in … Europe.

Okay, well, if you saying, yes Muslims died on 9/11, then why is it offensive? Unless your saying that every Muslim caused 9/11.
Oh, and they can be white....So....yeah
A radical division of Islam, not all of Islam, did cause the events of 9/11.
The mosque isn't being built there to honor and Muslims that fell during 9/11 either. Building the mosque there represents a proposition that is opposed by 61% of Americans by polls taken while 26% approve of the idea, public opinions don't count anymore? We're just asking to be listened to.
