Hii Friends..
Today I have a group discussion with my friends and the topic was " Whether building a mosque should be permitted or not at the ground zero site.. we all have given our opinions and the worth noticing point was that we all were agreed to permit the building the mosque as Obama did by answering the media...
The critics are highlighting the fact that this building of mosque will remind of 9/11. but it's a community centre and it's two block away. In my opinion the issue is politicized. the main concerns of the critics are that it may motivate the bad guys and they are taking many assumptions. as per the US laws no laws can be formed on the basis of religion and the present law the private owner to build such type of religious building. All critics are taking certain assumptions that i don't find to be appropriate. and they should also consider the consequences of the banning the construction of mosque. In the near future, It is highly expected that after the communal riots, a tendency of banning the certain buildings may occur at global scenario especially the country like India. and the others will again retaliate. It's leading to another conflict (I am hypothesizing it I may be wring here).
Apart from it, By banning it we are publicizing it and sending a wrong message to the muslim community. In a country like US, It's completely unfair to ban such buildings and by politicizing it.
Overall our group concluded that the banning (If Done) will not be a good step..
Thanks
