The 9-11 Mosque

On Law, Religion and Ethics, law professor Perry Dane offers some sane and cogent discussion of the debate over the proposal to build a mosque near Ground Zero. His three-part posting is here, here and here.   His link to the 1657 Flushing Remonstrance is particularly apropos.

One reply on “The 9-11 Mosque”

Thanks for the links, professor Dane’s discussion was really helpful for me. I initially had a gut feeling of “woah, that’s not cool” but I thought that they were building it *on* ground zero and the guy heading up the project was perhaps shady. These articles really helped me to think more clearly about the issue and maybe correct some bad info.

I try not to get into “group think” mode, and I’m trying to be self-critical regarding my Republican “brethren” but I frankly find it very difficult to find facts or even remotely objective articles anymore, “News” is just competing opinion pieces.
