Thanks for saying so.

I'm just absolutely disgusted by it, and just as much the media's reaction to it, more and more every day. Just awful.

Yes, my darling-dear. You would. And that's why I love you.

I don't really respect Islam or Christianity, but I respect some Islamic and Christian people. And I respect all of their rights to be treated equally under the law, and I am disgusted by racism directed toward any of them.

And Christian people like you are, to pardon the phrase, a godsend. Thanks for combating the hate.

I've grown very tired of this whole hyped up controversy. I was thinking the other night about how these people have probably had the property for years. And now they are being told they can't do what they want because of 911. I can't imagine what the cost of buying land in NYC is, but I laugh at those who suggest building it further away.

And I hate to say it, but Christian churches have set up churches all throughout the areas where the Crusades happened. Heck, are not some of the churches in the New York area on land that was claimed by killing off the natives by violence or the "white man's plague" we carried as we set up this New World in the name of religious freedom?

The Daily Show had a very funny send-up of this Monday night that's well worth you checking out (if you haven't already).
