9. Good for them. We either have freedom for ALL religions in the US

or we have freedom for none.

I just don't get the disconnect with the First Amendment with some people. Idiots.

The Taliban has something in common with the U.S.

14. I kinda hoped they'd take the offer ...

... not because there is any legitimate reason for asking them to move, and not because I think they should give in to all the bullshit.

I would have liked to see them move for one reason only :
I am very concerned for their safety !!!

How many other Timothy McVeighs are out there who will just not let this go?
I can see their hatred and anger continue to grow & fester against the Park51 facility, and I would not be the least bit surprised if some RW nutjob (or group of nutjobs) decides to deliver a truckload of explosives to their front door.
