In all of the arguments being put forth for and against this Mosque near Ground Zero we are forgetting the key piece of information that should guide us:
Fuck religion.
Fuck ALL religion. It's all bad. Using that simple rule, we can reason the following:
- It's a Mosque.
- Mosques are where Muslims worship.
- Islam is a religion.
- Another mosque means more religion.
If they wanted to build a Synagogue, near Ground Zero or not, take a look at the similar logic:
- It's a Synagogue.
- Synagogues are where Jews worship.
- Judaism is a religion [and I'm aware they also consider it a race].
- Another Synagogue means more religion.
Same with a Temple and Mormons. The main point here is that we're getting more religion and that's NOT GOOD. So don't build a fucking Mosque there. Don't build a Church. Don't build a Satanist collective.
From here, of course, we can deviate into whether any kind of Spirituality is bad (it is) and justify denying the building of a Temple where Buddhists hang out. Normally I would just lump Buddhism into the "religion" category but they claim it's a mindset/spiritual thing. Screw them, too.
