CHUP! << Changing Up Pakistan speaks up about the Manhattan Mosque

The writers at CHUP! are known for their witty commentary on all issues that in some way have a tangent point with Pakistan.
The Manhattan Mosque has proved no different. Below is the link to Kalsoom’s thoughts on whether anyone at all can be rational about the Manhattan Mosque.

Is it Possible to Have a Rational Discussion about the Ground Zero Mosque?
I hope it is. Either way, here’s an excerpt:
For many in favor of the center and its construction, the debate seems to center on protection and advocacy of religious freedom. Keith Olbermann in a “special comment” on his MSNBC show Monday, noted, “Yet in a country dedicated to freedom, forces have gathered to blow out of all proportion the construction of a minor community center…” For those against the construction of center, they claim Muslims are “free” to build a mosque, but they shouldn’t because it’s “insensitive” to build one two blocks from Ground Zero. And essentially this is insensitive because the perpetrators behind the 9/11 attacks belong in the same checkbox as the Muslims behind the center.

Seamus’ thoughts on the Manhattan Mosque

Seamus Campbell heads up the Fordham University College Democrats.
That means his opinion will be the opinion of liberal lawmakers in America 20 years from now.

Here’s an excerpt:

“My issue with the mosque is that it is an issue. Gound Zero is in New York. New York was hit. New York should choose how to deal with it. Yes, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC were hit and both tourists and commuters from the Greater New York area were killed. I do sympathize, but just like any national tragedy, it may affect people that weren’t there, but that impact is different from those that were.”

I like Seamus’ post because it is to the point, and offers lots of anecdotal and factual information pertaining to the Manhattan Mosque crisis.
Good job, buddy.
