Down, Foxboy. I know that the vitriol tends to flow around here, but let's not get carried away.
Ayieke, Islam may not be an ideology, but it sure as hell lends itself pretty well to ideologues that got a chip on their shoulder about freedom-loving countries that allow their women-folk to do as they please.
And while we are not fighting a war against Islam per se, we are fighting a war against ideologues that use Islam as their primary crutch. Which makes this a war just chock full of dirty underhanded nastiness that divides our country even further. Which is what a certain rich diseased cave-dwelling troll wants, I'm sure.
Permitting a mosque, especially one with such a tactlessly chosen name, to even exist as a rented space in a building within sight of Ground Zero (which, I may add, is hallowed ground no matter how thin you slice it) is simply going to add more fuel to Osama bin Laden's fire. But then, so will disallowing its existence. It matters not, I guess, as he'll always find some way of twisting things around.
But at the very least, choose a different name for the mosque!
