Obama backs mosque near ground zero

I would have understood it either way. That is, even if they had disallowed the mosque. Now that it has been officially decided to allow a mosque near ground zero, America has to be congratulated. It is a good point that they find it repelling to do onto the Muslims what the Muslims on the basis of strict adherence of Islam do in their supposedly holiest country - Saudi Arabia. Always, broad-mindedness defeats narrow-mindedness, though narrow-minded creeds often seem to be having the upper hand. It is also noteworthy that Obama has supported the mosque on the basis of the principles of the American constitution and not the basis of Christianity, which, as run by the multitudinous churches, might not have allowed a mosque at a place of such tragic memory. Congratulations, America - but be cautioned of the tale of the camel in the tent. On high moral grounds, a camel was allowed into a tent as it was cold outside and the owner thought, the camel has asked only its front legs to be put into the tent. Of course, after an interval of time, the camel also asked that its hind legs be allowed and before the Bedouin knew it, the camel was wholly in the tent and the poor chap found himself out in the cold.
