Everyday hundreds of religions celebrate their amendment rights the most important these religions rely on is not only freedom of speech but the right to exercise their religion. Is it controversial for us to say no to a mosque being built near Ground Zero? Would it create more peace between Muslims and other religions? Would we be able to put the past behind us and be able to grow as a country together and peacefully? Well, humans are good and evil and in this world that is the only thing we will ever have. We live off of being good, but their are those who live off of being evil.

Terrorists attacked the 9/11 grounds screaming out their praises to their gods, but doesn't any religion do that when they are in a war? Yes they do, but that is not the point. With so much evil we as Americans have seen coming from countries such as Iraq and Iran who could wonder why Americans are freaked out. Of course we are. If we blew up a building in Iraq and put a church their, their would be nothing more than the burning of that church and this is in a way how us Americans feel when talk comes abroad of a Mosque being built near such a private site. Their is also problems with politics, Imam and those who do not understand for some reason the pain that families have suffered loosing loved ones on 9/11. The lies surrounding the site, the conspiracies, the pain and the using of American society.

When people lost their loved ones in 9/11 there wasn't really any sympathy from the government other than "let's go to war!" Insurance companies were enticing the victims, families couldn't afford funerals, children lost their parents and grandparents and on and on we go. I understand that there is good and evil in all religions, races and societies. Nothing is ever truly peaceful, but the President went back and forth in his statement that Muslims have the right to practice their religion anywhere that we would be abusing their rights by not allowing them to put a Mosque near the site and than he of course contradicted himself by saying later that he wasn't in actuality supporting the Mosque being built. Imam had claimed that he planned the Mosque to rebuild bridges to Muslims and other Americans hoping to settle peace between everybody, but than he got upset when politicians had suggested to him to build it at a different site saying that "Politics were to blame."

Everyday people burn our flags, burn our literature and curse the American country while being in America while have rallies
