Well, they do all go by what the same butcher had to say. I'd like to hear them make an effort to separate themselves from the terrorists, rather than you doing it. This Imam has said that America was partially to blame for 9/11. Right there, you should have a problem with this, but you don't. See, he won't come out and say the scum in his religion were wrong, and they are to blame.

i don't? when did i say that? that would be like saying a robbed bank was partially at fault because they had all that money and were asking for it.
and i have seen where members of that religion have spoken out against the terrorist acts, but you keep ignoring that. not once have you conceded that point, accepted that it has happened.


but you're right about zoning. if there is no other similar building in that area, the city can re-zone. whether they can do so and get away with it, i don't know. if other religious buildings are in that area, they haven't got a leg to stand on in that regard.
