No, I oppose the way the media portrays this and uses it to further divide. And agin, they would use this to divide if it were the other way around... I am simply trying to point that out.

No. I was implying that it wouldn't matter if it were a church because there are already three in the area. The current opposition is "OMG a mosque is going to be next to Ground Zero!"
If a church were to be built instead, people wouldn't react nearly as badly, considering it wouldn't be the only one there. It's not like building a church is a controversial thing in the U.S. Am I wrong?

First, how many mosques are in that area? You can tell me how many churches, how many mosques? How many synagogues, Buddhist temples, any Hindu houses of worship around there?
Secondly, if CNN could find opposition to it they would and use it... sounds like you pointed out a good point they would use... "There are 3 there why should another go up".
Thirdly, I don't understand the whole argument and maybe that's why I look at it the way I do. I don't care what goes up there and I find it foolish to argue about. Again, is this an issue because there was enough of a cry against it, or is it an issue because the press desired to make it such and build up a frothing?
Either way, it helps take focus off a war, off an economy falling apart, off high unemployment and all the issues that we truly should be focussed on.
But this is just a paranoidal rant against the pres....lol, me trying to take the focus off something that should truly be a non issue and is being made into one.
