Is This Not Honorable?

The tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001 is one that will never be forgotten. The horror, chaos, and lasting scar that was left on our nation is quite dramatic and still affects us to this day, almost a decade later. There were so many miserable deaths that we should only see in movies. All of the victims on 9/11 and those that were affected by it in some way should be felt for.

            That is the case why the proposed Islamic Center is causing so much debate. Many Americans feel that building such an establishment would be a disgrace to all those that suffered from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Americans want the victims to be honored and respected and they believe that building the center would do quite the opposite.  Although there is suppose to be a freedom of religion, everyone has to ask themselves if this is the right thing to do. It is a tough question to say the least, because nobody wants to insult those who had the tragedy strike them directly.

            There is some outrage going on and much protest. People are arguing that the mosque will be a victory for the terrorists and we should not give in. They believe the mosque would be disrespect and it would almost be like choosing the terrorists over our own people. So the real questions are, is the building of the center what the terrorists would have wanted? Would all the victims appreciate the center or would they feel lack of respect if we built it?
