Rant on the WTC and The Cordoba Cultural Center

[nex0s]

I wrote this in response to someone being anti-mosque in someone else's journal, but did not post it, because it's full of vitriol. I'm angry. n

Amen!

And thanks for writing that. It makes me feel better knowing that everyone on my friends list who's talked about the issue is OK with the not-a-mosque community center.

[dr_memory]

Amen.

This is, apparently, an issue I'm happy to lose friends and alienate people over.

IF they can build a FUCKING MALL AT THE SITE ITSELF, then there can be a Mosque 2 blocks away.

They're . . . building a mall at the site?!

I'm not American and have never been to New York but it does seem kind of apt, from outside... There's little more American than a mall, to the rest of the world.

Edit: n. will likely realise this, but not everyone knows me - that's an ironic kind of apt, not a good kind.

[nex0s]

There's going to be a complex of stores and shit in the WTC on the first couple of floors.

The WTC had a mall at its base. There is nothing wrong with rebuilding it there.

I have been yelling at people on facebook about this issue for the last three days.

It's such thinly-veiled racism and xenophobia. It makes my blood boil.

[xiphias]

The veil's getting thinner and thinner, too. It's pretty much at the point of naked racism and xenophobia by now.

AMEN!

Say it again!
