reflection

In Mr. Palo’s class, we discussed whether or not the Muslim mosque should be built two blocks away from Ground Zero and why or why not. Some people said that it shouldn’t be built because it is disrespectful to the victims of 9/11. Others said that a contribution to the victims of 9/11 should be built first. Also, we talked about how hate crimes would be happening if it were to be built. It interested me that the Muslims want to build the mosque in such a bad area. An area where there are strip clubs and other inappropriate stuff. People argued that maybe they want to make that location a better place. Then others said would they be trying to get people to turn to the religion of Islam. I learned a lot and I honestly don’t know if it should be built or not. Overall, I think we had a pretty good class discussion.
