  You didnt answer my question, why is it offensive?
  
  And that poll, I can assure you is flawed, did you see that on Fox news? I mean, I know a ton of people that support the mosque, like, everyone I know....I hate when people use polls like that, because its not really 61 or 26 percent of Americans, its 61 or 26 percent of Americans WHO THEY ASKED, they didnt ask me or my family, or any of my friends, did they ask you? Or anyone in this thread? No.

  
  
  We rely on polls for almost all statistics. They take a sample size and work with that. They can't literally call everyone in the United States. That is why there is always that +/- margin of error. I don't even watch TV. I pay attention to Rasmussen and Gallup. And if you think those are biased...>.<.
  
  Just show consideration to everyone's that lost their lives on that day.

  Okay, fine, ignore the poll things.
  
  But this is a simple question, why is it offensive, I just need the answer to that, unless its offensive just because their Muslim?
  
  And I do show consideration, I care, I live in New York state, I remember the news on that day (which is the only thing I remember from that year, cause I just turned 14...), but I show consideration by understanding, I understand that not all Muslims caused 9/11, I understand that the only way to truly heal is through helping each other.

  Would you care if people built a Church or Temple or rather any religious building over the remains of a village destroyed in the current war?

  Iraq War? If they want to build a religious building there, that's up to them. But i also expect them to take into account public opinions. If the people of that don't want that building around, why build there. There are simpler solutions.

  So are you saying it's okay for a mosque to be built near ground zero as long as it's okay with 'them.'
  
  (who is them?)

  Okay....You still haven't answered my question...So Ill just respond to this..
  
  So, was that Poll you posted a poll of the United States or New York, because its the people in the area whose opinion mattered, I live in New York, the people I know who support it live in New York. So, was that poll just from New York.

  As I stated before, the Mosque is at Ground Zero. The building in which it will be built was damaged by the landing gear of one of the aircraft that hit the World Trade Center.

  Um...Its not at Ground Zero, its 4 blocks away....And, it got hit by the landing gear of one of the aircraft...So? Are you saying NOTHING can be built in that building? Or just a Mosque cant be built there? Why cant a Mosque be built there? Because all Muslims caused 9/11?

  United States. If you think its just New York opinions that matter. Why is everyone weighing in with their own opinions including Obama, Palin, Reid, etc. etc? Their opinions don't matter?

  Do the voices of the people who are all for the mosque matter?
  
  Sorry Tim, I had to talk >:

  Its not that nothing can be build on that building. I just believe something less sensitive then a religious building should be built there. It includes all religion, not just a Church or a Mosque or anything of that sort. And I already stated, a radical arm of Islam caused 9/11.

  It's a community center. Not even mainly a religious building.

  They matter, i never said they couldn't talk. I am listening to them too.
  But is gotta be more then just, "their Muslim, let them build there, its freedom of religion."
  I want to know, why building there will help them? What does it achieve overall?

  But what bad does it do? Unless it is physically bad for anyone, I don't see anything wrong with it. A lot of people would say it isn't wrong in anyway.
