Ground Zero Mosque Story: Ground Zero Articles

PURPOSE
This issue is engaging the American Public, both for and against, in this blog I will save the links of articles that come across my knowledge as a reference for the researchers. We have to find solutions for co-existence and sustainable harmony.

OPPOSING: Right wingers from: Republican party; Right Winger Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus, as well as leftist liberal Muslims. Right wing Muslims do not like a pluralistic institution.

FAVORING: Moderate Americans, Religious leaders from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and others.

DAY LIGHT: It is clear as daylight, that it is a political opportunity for the losing right wing republicans. I pray they do not twist patriotism to gain leverage, that would be a shameful act.

GROUND ZERO A MISNOMER

It is not a mosque and it is not on Ground Zero. It is a Community Center, an interfaith chapel, a memorial for 9/11, a pool for the community, an auditorium to hold conferences, a place to teach pluralism and co-existence and also place for Muslim prayers - above all it is open to the public.

It is a shrine and it is a catalyst to consciously create a society we desire; where all of us will learn to respect the otherness of other and accept the God given differences. It is anti-thetical to radicals from all traditions.

The ones who are opposed to the Center will change their hearts and minds if they know the facts;

i. that it is not on ground zero
ii. that it is not a mosque
iii. that foxtv owner may fund it
iv. that it is a political ploy
v. that it's a memorial to 9/11
vi. that it is an interfaith chapel
vii. that co-existence will be taught
viii. that it is open to every one to
ix. that it is not a secretive place

OPPORTUNISTS
If you surfed the net, you might reasonably conclude that the ones opposing are the right wing Republicans like Palin, Gingrich, Paladino, Corker, Tancredo, Rowe, McCain and others.

They continue to fall in the abyss of ignorance and are out of touch with the American public. The pied piper Limbaugh had led them once and his cooked up support will blind them again.

These are the shameless opportunitst, the kind who lied about WMD and massacred people in Iraq and Afghanistan in our name while the Criminal Bin Laden is still at large. They are lying again, one after the other. Gingrich is running his mouth without the media questioning him.

They got the Americans riled up and I sincerely hope, we the Americans do not fall for their fabrications and bring disharmony in our society.

We have to consciously create institutions and systems that would become a catalyst to a positive change and bring about cohesive functioning of the society. It is our duty to keep law and order and faithfully guard the safety of every citizen.

As Americans we cannot do to fellow Americans what we did with the Native Americans; annihilate them in millions.
