Religion

Do we have the freedoms we would like to have? Does it matter that a group of Muslims wants to build a place of worship near ground zero? This is America we all have the right of choosing where we would want to build a place of worship. It doesn’t matter if it is a Church of Christ or a Muslim Church. No American flew planes into the towers and killed three thousand of our citizens; it was terrorist that had done the deed. Have we gotten so petty that we question the motives of our own citizens thinking because they happen to be Muslims they too are terrorist. I for one am ashamed that there would be controversy over someone’s religion in this country. We have always been a country where everyone could worship the way they want and because some of our citizen’s religion happens to be Muslim; they should never be persecuted by anyone. I realize in today’s society we need to be vigilant; but we never want to be vigilantes. If our appointed officials think that there is a reason that someone shouldn’t be allowed to build a place of worship no matter where the location may be. They need to bring forth evidence of why this could be harmful to citizens and nip it in the bud.
