LAWRENCE: "McCarthy tells us that "Dawa," whether done from the rubble of
the World Trade Center or elsewhere, is the missionary work by which Islam
is spread." The guy Mayor Bloomberg thinks is wonderful, Rauf, the guy
behind the Cordoban Mosque doesn't think the mosque is going to be a great
bridge between America and Islam, as some have said. Rauf calls it
furthering the spread of Islam, in "the World Trade Center Rubble." Now *that
*is provocative. You can read about this man Feisal Abdul Rauf (whom Mayor
Bloomberg admires) at
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2462";
You still don't get it. This is America. We have freedom of religion
here. Islam is a religion. The Muslims are free to build a mosque wherever
any church or synagogue can be built. You and McCarthy and the whole rest
of the world might hate the Muslim religion but that is irrelevant. They
has as much right as any other religion to put up houses of worship. Get
over it.
