1No matter how you cut it, a Mosque type thingy being built that near is not a well thought out idea and is only likely to do the exact opposite of good.
Which is bad.
2And as stated. Since there is already one there, what is the point in making something new, when there is already something there that can serve similar purposes and NOT raise a big stink over being built.
Cause you'll have the people who actually have reason to be hurt by this getting all caught up again. And then you'll have the bigots making everything worse.
And then the extreme of the other side will get into it. And it'll be like if Black Panthers meet KKK.
1. Mosque like building?
you're now starting to sound like those Bigots themselves. In the end a Community center will still look like a Community Center.
It won't have a dome, it won't have a large megaphone, it won't be a mosque.
In the end it would function like a small chapel in buildings.. you can't call those small chapels "churches" can you.
2. You mean the
MAsjid manhattan that can
only fit 20% of All Lower Manhattan worshipers? Like tegumi said, they're expanding the availability for those worshipers.
in Masjid Manhattan, worshipers cannot even do their obligatory Friday prayers, just because there's no room, by making 1 or 2 floors madeshifted into
"praying floors" it will solve that problem.
