Muslim Point of View
As we watch the news we see the rising conflict between the building of a mosque near the world trade center. On top of that we see a Florida pastor threatening to burn the Koran, which is the biblical book of the Muslim religion. Through all this we look at this conflict and automatically take the side of the American who chose to take action. What he thinks is righteous is only causing pain that most of us are unaware of. Is it truly righteous to take such action, through the same grudge that has been held since 9/11? When such a topic was brought up we as citizens of this country looked directly to our commander for answers. But the fathers of our country have already locked in such a law that can truly not be overpassed. So What can we do? All we can do is understand that we are all one regardless of religion.We must not be barbaric like our long lost ancestry. Truly if we looked upon this happening in both perspectives we could come to an agreement. For we are unaware of the hurt we cause another countries faith and pride.-Here a Muslim American shares his feelings as he is trapped between both worlds.

American Point of view
On the other hand now that we had taken their side into consideration, we can look at the perspective of those who have been affected through devastation caused by the actions of the Muslim people. It is the Muslim way of understanding God that makes them treacherous toward Americans. Through the destruction they have caused our country by bombing our world trade center, and purposely killing thousands what reason do we have to respect them. Where is the heart when it comes to murder of ones self and others?
It is said that these suicide bombers believe that these acts are righteous, toward their path into heaven. But how could such act be righteous when it is nothing but purely evil? You cannot prevent evil by doing evil, which god would want such. Such hatred they have against Americans but for what reason? If religion is truly a reason for this hatred, then they are a half a world away why not let it be.The deceit and dedications to such doings are preposterous.After letting them come to our country to better their lives, and to bluntly deceive all, how do they expect to ask for such as a mosque anywhere near ground zero.We owe them nothing! Rather yet they should be patient with us Americas and stop overstaying there welcome.We can pity or be pitied, but in the end there is only one truth. That truth being that righteous acts will always prevail in the end.

I don't mean to off topic but I was watching the video on youtube for sep 11. I noticed that someone lol the video. Also I think its amazing how people react to the terrible day. so many people lost loved ones and are traumatized by this day. But back to your blog. I really like how you compared the Muslim and the American point of view. To me it really shows how people feel and felt at the time and now.
