Sitz im leben

Ordinary Time: Following Jesus

   

Wednesday, 25 August

What should we think about the plan to build a mosque near the World Trade Center?

Perspectives
Ecumenical issues: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam form a family of religions. All three claim to have descended from God's covenant with Abraham.
Legal issues: Who has the right to stop a religious group from exercising their freedom of religion? Money talks.
Matters of good taste: Is this the best way to "build bridges" between the culture of the United States and that of Islam?
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Any laws written to make it hard for a controversial group to exercise its religious rights could be used against other religious groups in the nation.
