ORIGINAL: DomKen I've been wondering, does this "exclusion for respect" zone extend around every religiously motivated massacre site in the US? Is it the same in all case or is it dependent on how many died? For instance I happen to know that a religious group has built a worship house directly on land where their predecessors killed 120 people. What should be done? Go protest if you feel offended. Be sure to take rml along. Firm So its only when its a mosque or is it only the 9/11 site that is deserving of this "respect?" Well, contrary to your posse's comments, I have no problem's with you being offended with the building of the structure where the 120 people were killed. As you have presented it, I don't consider you a racist or bigot based on that. You have my blessing to complain about it, and go protest it. So ... where is this elusive "double standard" that you and your hanger-on's are complaining about, exactly? Firm You're being deliberately obtuse. I firmly believe in the first amendment and religious freedom for all. You and yours are advocating against this mosque and claiming it is disrespectful to build it so close to Ground Zero. So I want to know the conditions for this zone of exclusion? How many people need to die and how big is the area? We've established that for 120 people a worship site 0 feet away does not offend your delicate sensibilities but for 3000 odd, 2 city blocks is too close. So what is the criteria?
