Embitterment

Would you give up your right to build a place of worship in a place where some felt was a scared place? This is a dilemma we all must consider in order to have peace. Would we be willing to be a peace keeper if we knew it was causing so much anguish on Christians or non Christians? This is exactly what the Muslims are being asked to do under protesters at ground zero. Many have lost their loved ones there and it will always be hallowed ground to them. The question is though; if it was other denomination or nondenominational building being built would there also be protesters. Living in a free land as we do in America; people have come to respect the rights of other citizens. When do we draw the line that says we should step aside to create a better good for those who have a legitimate right to say don’t do this? Don’t place a building on top of sacred ground no matter if it is their right to do so. What would Christ do in this situation?
Does Muslim want to build just because they can or are they trying to make a statement? Even thought they may have the right to; wouldn’t it be kinder just to say we love this country and we wouldn’t want to cause grievances’ among our fellow people. America is and always will be a free nation. Are we willing to give compromise where it is due or do we always have it our own way no matter if it may be scripturally wrong. Who will be the winner in the end? Only Jesus Christ knows the answer to this one; the way it should be.
