You actually believe that these Christians are just so tolerant of these Muslims? They are NOW going against the law and trying to take away the Muslims' religious freedoms. How is that any tolerant? And I guarantee you that the Muslims will still get the bullshit if they move their mosque. People have to realize these Muslims are not the assholes that the Republicans make them out to be.
How are they going against the law???? Tolerance is not saying I love you it is allowing something to happen whether you want it to or not.
Funding is what has stopped this so far, not intolerant Christians.
You really need to look at what tolerance is. I think you have confused with acceptance.
You can quote any idiot out there but when you do keep in mind that just because they get in front of the camera that they do not represent everyone in the group.
Whenever you voice you opposition to a situation does not mean you are not being tolerant it means you are not being accepting.
1) It's going against the law in the sense that the Consititution allows people freedom of religion. These people, in a matter of speaking, are willing to suspend a law in the Constitution (i.e. the right of religion) in order to have the mosque not built. Only the executive branch can perform such an action, but only in a time of absolute peril.
2) Acceptance isn't exactly saying "I love you" either. You can accept something and still disagree with it, dislike it, or flat-out hate it. Al Gore accepted that he lost the election. Didn't mean he didn't like it. It's also like how many KKK members accept the 14th Amendment, despite the fact they strongly disagree with it.
Well I guess it is a matter of semantics. I can see by the video how young you are. Your opinion is not disregarded because of that but you do not have any experience with true intolerance.
I am grateful to live in a country where people can say what they want but will not be punished for it unless they actually do it. No law has been broken no matter how much talking has occurred.
I am also grateful to live in a country where you can put up a minority religious center no matter how much the majority religion cries. There are intolerant people in every facet of life but this country does not allow for religious intolerance.
I have been to 4 Muslim based countries. Even the most liberal (Kuwait) was not nearly as tolerant as we are.
