Muslims are Citizens Too!!!
To suggest that the Muslims consider rebuilding the mosque in another location is unethical, hypocritical, and above all else unconstitutional. Muslims are entitled to American soil just as any other race, religion, or ethnic group, especially when of country was founded on a wide collection of backgrounds. The constitution is the “Law of the Land”, meaning we are all governed by the vision our founding fathers had in mind, and nowhere in the document is there a law that would prohibit the building of the mosque. When people suggest the Muslims be required to move their building location it is a slap in the face to Muslims in America; because whether we acknowledge it or not we are making Muslims a second class group in society. Had there been a church that was going to be build near ground zero there would have been no problem, why; because people feel as though Muslims are responsible for the deaths of their loved ones. The country still has hostility towards Muslims and don’t view them as authentic American citizens. This belief is what most threatens the foundation of this country, because to do this is like stepping 200 years back into history when black people where slaves or Jews were being killed. We cannot allow people to feel as though there race, or religious group is superior to any other, because then the constitution means nothing, and there is no equal rights, land of the free, or home of the brave. As a country and as Americans we must protect the rights of all, and see everyone as an equal citizen of the United States; if not then there is no need for the constitution. Also, when one makes the argument that many people lost loved ones due to 911, consider the fact that Christians were not the only people working in the towers; Muslims lost their lives and loved ones as well.
