We live in a Land where we can Worship Who, What, When and Where We Want To.

Because we have freedom of religion in the USA, we can Worship Who, What, When and Where we want to.

But when it comes to NYC mosques, if we listen to the opponents of NYC mosques, the mosques apparently violate:

1. The Who - not Allah,

2. The What - not Islam,

3. The When - not Now, not after 9-11, not when some people are opposed to it, and,

4. The Where - certainly not anywhere near the World Trade Center building complex in New York City.

Freedom of religion? It doesn't exist if you can't worship who, what, when and where you want to (And how!)

it doesn't mean I agree with them - but you and I have to defend their right to do so and support them.

5. Not true according to the tea bags and
radical republicans and the religious right. You, to be an American must conform to their version of worship. You have to believe and perform like they do, you can't love who you want, you can't marry who you want, you can't eat or drink unless they OK it. And you can't dance and sing, only they are allowed to do that.
