Keith Olberman's argument for the ground zero Islamic center

[C_Kent]

He makes a valid eye-opening point. Let's read what you have to say.

[IYIaYBe]

Watched, good arguments.

I gotta say.....Olberman is probably the only talking head on tv that I agree with from time to time.

and he does make a very STRONG arguement.

[mustang]

im neither for or against this...but

the jews didnt kill thousands of germans,,,so comparison is invalid

[lunchbox12]

keith olberman is one of the biggest ***gots on tv

i remember one time he told be i dont care about sick people because i didnt support the health care takeover.

He was on topic. Olberman is an assinine idiot. Him, O'reily and hannity are part of the same "I think i'm right because I talk loudly" circle jerk. He doesn't make any actual points, he just puts out distant analogous scenarios that make you think he's smart.

So what you're saying is that, in this video, he makes no valid points whatsoever? Really?

[FoxMcCocks]

I'd like to hear some actual valid arguments against the building of the "mosque" and against Olberman's points.


Typical misc response if they don't agree:
Olberman is a *******, he's a dumbass LOL LOL u mad?

[exdtuner]

He has a huge head.

[notsureifsrsss]

Very valid points indeed.

Keith Olberman is one of the few TV commentators that actually present pretty valid arguments.

[Fit1NYC]

that is untrue. He specifically said he wasn't comparing it to the holocaust. he said he was comparing the journey a nation takes to attack ethnic or political groups through fear and hate. so he is comparing the u.s. to germany, not the jews to the arabs. you must've done poorly on the s.a.t.'s cuzzzzz

i think it was brilliant

[magog704]

itt politically reasonable miscers.


wtf?

People don't seem to understand that the

1. VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BELIEVE THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BUILD THE MOSQUE/COMMUNITY CENTER THERE.

AND

2. VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BELIEVE IT IS WRONG FOR THEM TO BUILD THE MOSQUE/COMMUNITY CENTER THERE AS IT IS INSENSITIVE.

We agree with their right to build there but believe it is insensitive an don't want them to do so. It has nothing to do with the analogies that Kieth Oberman is saying.

3. VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BELIEVE MUSLIMS SHOULD BE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH OR AT THE VERY LEAST REMOVED FROM THE U.S. BECAUSE OF THEIR GENERALIZATIONS OF ALL MUSLIMS BEING TERRORISTS.

Srs. Your post is stupid. There is nothing insensitive about it, it's not even in view of Ground Zero.

And this thread is a repost.

I hate these talking heads that go on and on reading too much into this whole issue. This isn't some grand scheme where Americans have some deep seated hatred for anyone or any religion. It's just inappropriate to build a giant mosque at ground zero. Period. Any rational thinking person can understand that. If the builders are really interested in making a community center to promote tolerance, they'd build the mosque somewhere else.
Unfortunately, political correctness overwhelms rational thinking.
BTW, Keith Olberman is the biggest douche on TV.

For one, it is not a mosque. Secondly, it is not on ground zero. Thirdly, brb churches in the middle of Nagasaki and being a hypocrite by saying Muslims shouldn't be allowed to build a community centre that's not even in view of ground zero.

It's a community center that has basketball courts, a culinary school and a space on the upper floor for prayers. Did you even watch the video? Are you lacking in the attention span department? It's a discreet building 5 blocks away.

And you're the biggest idiot in this thread.

Congrats.

By the way, a mosque stands near ground zero, it was built a few months before the twin towers were constructed.

[Hagakure24]

it IS a mosque, brah. why else is there a floor (the top floor) devoted strictly for prayer? are you kidding? Why did they include this? Is it because a few nearby Mosques are over crowded, with worshipers spilling out into the street?


Edit:

the more appropriate term is "9/11 Debris Field Mosque". It's not at ground zero. It's in the debris field. there u go.

The world is Misc.

But it was dere before so it's ok guise. Herp derp.

As has already been stated, it is a 13 story community centre that will have basketball courts, culinary schooling, and a prayer space on the top 2 floors. They included it because it is being built for Muslims - what is wrong with Muslims being able to worship in the place they play and learn?

What exactly it is is entirely irrelevant, anyways. Muslims are not the terrorists, the terrorists are Muslim. There's been all sorts of attacks by various religious groups within the United States - why aren't any of their churches and religious buildings being complained about?

Can someone cliff his points? I can't stream vids at work.

I wasn't aware the U.S. bombing of Nagasaki had anything to do with religion. Are you really making that comparison? No offense, but you're a freakin' idiot.

[milkycocoa]

can't argue with that guys

but srsly it seems like everyone against the building of the mosque is being oversensitive and spiteful toward muslims. we're a multi cultural country /mindboggle
