"I still see no valid reason to oppose the mosque....so either:"
"1) They don't know any better (ignorant). " "2) They have their facts wrong (misguided)." "and...that's about it.....after that.....we're left with either stupid....or.......bigoted." So, now everyone who disagrees with you is not an idiot, just stupid or a bigot. Opposing the Ground Zero Mosque does not necessarily mean that one thinks the builders do not have the right to or cannot build it. It just means that one does not think it is a good idea. This might help you understand the point: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/08/obama-defense-of-ground-zero-mosque.html Quoted from the article: The only poll to have gotten the distinction right, believe it or not, is the one from Fox News<http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/081310_MosquePoll.pdf>. They asked two separate questions about the planned development. First, they asked: A group of Muslims plans to build a mosque and Islamic cultural center a few blocks from the site of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City. Do you think it is appropriate to build a mosque and Islamic center near ground zero, or do you think it would be wrong to do so? Only 30 percent of respondents said "appropriate", while 64 percent said "wrong" -- consistent with the apparent unpopularity of the mosque in other polls. But Fox also followed up with this question: Regardless of whether you think it is appropriate to build a mosque near ground zero, do you think the Muslim group has the right to build a mosque there, or dont they have that right? Here, the numbers were nearly reversed: 61 percent of respondents, including 69 percent of independents and 57 percent of Republicans, said the developers had the right to build the mosque; 34 percent said they did not.
