either for or against it. Can you say the same?
It seems to me that, so far, those trying to build it have met all
legal hurdles, whether they meet all of the financial or whatever
other "ordinary" hurdles that remain is for them to accomplish, if
they can.
I went back and read the Nat Hentoff article from Jewish World
Review. I hope we can at least agree that "they" are "extraordinarily"
against giving the Mosque and its builders a fair and equal
opportunity at accomplishing their goal... You tell me, Dick
Thompson... why (for what reasons) do you say that Nat Hentoff and
Jewish World Review write or state that they are aginst the Mosque....
or, to put a finer point on it.....Why would you apparently prefer a
Greek Orthodox Church to a Mosque, there?
