In 1st Corinthians chapter 10 the Apostle Paul had some wise words for a certain situation that I think apply here equally well:
1 Cor 10:23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify.
1 Cor 10:24 Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.
Now, we understand that Paul was talking about things which were allowable and legal under the law. Not everything is legal, but of those things which are legal not all of them are profitable and uplifting. For these people who want to build this mosque I would say; "yes, it is legal according to the law for you to build your mosque, but you must admit it is not uplifting to the community at all. In fact it is extremely insulting. Look not to your own good, but also to that of your neighbors. Will this be uplifting to them? Unfortunately the answer is no. If therefore you purport to be loving, sympathetic and empthetic you would find another place to build your mosque."
And while I'm on the subject of the people who want to build this mosque, did you hear that the State Department is sponsoring the Imam of this very mosque to go over to the Middle East and be a good will ambassador to promote how nice the US is to Muslims??? Since the State Department is a governmental department it would seem that this is a violation of the separation of church and state clause (as it is misguidedly interpreted today). If the State Department had tried that with a Christian leader the outcry of opposition would have been immediate and vehement. Just another example of a government that has lost its mind... :loco:
