Hello There.

US Constitution allows freedome of religion and so does Quran. Such a freedom is basis of USA. It can not be taken away by simple majority as it will be a demolition of a basic principle of US COnstitution.

Yes, Islam has been a part of America from very begining.

For example look at the the Treaty of Tripoli, which can be seen at:

ARTICLE 11.
As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Knowing about Islam and the Holy Quran, deliberate decisions were made to provide religious freedom by our founding fathers and thus reflected in our constitution:

HOWEVER. SHARIA is NIETHER proven from the holy Quran and NOR can be admitted to USA as a LEGAL System. Principles of the US COnstitution are in complete Harmony with the Principles of the HOLY Quran.

Thanks for writing an excellent article but it lacked key facts.

Oh, please, Sharia? Not for me thank you. I have no room for the Koran obscurantism in my daily life. Theya re NOT like us.

That's the absurdity of all this "political correctness". We are supposed to be "more like them" and not the reverse when they come here from foreign countries. We are supposed to be "more tolerant" but it's always a one way street...

OK, so what are the signifigant contributions the Muslims have made to our country? The real problem is that the Muslims don't accept any other religion and use Sharia law as a means of keeping the muslim population in check. I guess if you can accept women being treated like dogs and ultimatley stoned for some pretty minor stuff or if you can accept the fact that the religion itself promotes the destruction of other religion, then you should become a muslim. The real issue is that there is little tolerance within the relgious teachings to recognize other religions and anyone not a part of Mohamads teaching is considered an infidel.

Yes Mr. Obama, they were a big part of America on September 11, 2001. We'll never forget them for that.

Mr Michael, on what rights do Jews have to build a temple in Mecca, or Christians a church there? I think it can be possible because Islam is a tolerant religion. Try and is what happens.What do you think makes America a great country. Muslims, Christians, all tribes and religions found on this planet enjoying equal rights! The founders of USA had very strong binoculars in the planning for America. It is few uncivilized people who are extremists in their thinking and not different from Terrorists that want to spoil the good America holds for humanity.

I cook popcorn every day and now that it is Ramadan, I had a boss tell me that it is insensitive to do that with members of the Islam faith in the office. What! I didn't see anyone being sensitive when I was fasting for Lent. Besides, when the sun goes down, they feast away. We don't do that in Lent and besides it says in the bible to keep your fasting to yourself so only you and God can see the sacrifice. I don't bother them to sacrifice for my religion so don't expect me to sacrifice to theirs.

I am really beginning to believe that Pres. Obama is so isolated that he does not understand how upset the American people are over this mosque. It has re-opened wounds that were barely starting to heal. I feel the pain and fear I felt on 9/11 all over again and I didn't even live in New York. Why must we be tolerant? Why aren't the muslims building this mosque being compassionate and considerate? "justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings"? I don't think so!

Margaret 6:59 PM Aug 11, 2010 Never ceases to amaze me how you right-wingers consider one religion more important than another.

Muslims don't believe Islam is more important than Judaism?...
