911 Mosque

We all remember September 11, 2001 the day when terrorists intentionally crashed planes into the World Trade Center in New York. In total, about 3,000 people were killed that day including rescue workers. Most of them included average Americans who were doing what they do every day - work. These terrorist acts immediately changed the USA forever by bringing to our attention a vast hatred from afar. The following day from the attacks, the economy took an enormous hit as the market was closed until the 17^th of Sept., and when it reopened, the DJIA had dropped over 600 points - one of its biggest one-day drops recorded. Additionally, the USA has spent Billions of dollars and lives to fight terrorists abroad. Also, if you have flown on a commercial plane since the event longer lines, more screening, and overall hassle have directly affected you. Today, Muslims want to build a Mosque literally a few blocks from where these attacks took place.

As Americans, you must not approve of such actions. Where the World Trade Center once stood should now be considered sacred ground. Too many innocent civilians were affected and many families were immediately destroyed. Building a Mosque anywhere near the Trade Center site is just a big middle finger to the USA; a "Ha-ha we got you" from the terrorists.

The building of a Mosque near "Ground Zero" has sparked controversy all across the country dividing Americans. The USA must remember what happened, who is at fault, and stand united. We cannot and should not support a building that will potentially harbor the same terrorists who are responsible for killing thousands of Americans. To the American's who say we should tolerate a Mosque and the Muslims in the near vicinity of the Trade Center site, I say, "Should we support Terrorists and their terrorist acts?" If there are any people the USA should be against, it is the terrorists!

We must get rid of the terrorists hiding in our own country and abroad. Write letters to your local government explaining you do not agree with a Mosque being built near 911. Stand outside and protest; express your disgust and right to assembly. We should not remember 911 as having a Mosque at "Ground Zero" and how the terrorists won, but we should remember 911 for all the innocent lives lost and the aftermath. 911 Should be titled, "A Day of Remembrance," and expressed by simply remembering what happened and honoring all the lives lost.
