8-31-10 Class discussion. Reflection.

I really liked the class discussion we had in class. I wish I had something to say because i wanted to be one of the people arguing but i couldnt really think of anything. still I learned a lot from some of the things they said. i was able to hear their opinions on the mosque and what they thought about it and i really like that. most of the people in class were for the building of the mosque and they had there reasons why but in my opinion i think others said yes because they didnt care and just wanted to get it over with. Next time we have a class discussion i will research on what were talking about in class so the day we have another one i could maybe be a mvp. Also last thing as i heard everybody give there opinions and thoughts and how they made good points i wondered what the people on CNN and FOX and others would say. i wish they could also hear us talking about how we should spend the money on textbooks like brittney said instead of spending it on the mosque.

Fox News' Eric Shawn and the Associated Press - FOXNews.com

NYC Mayor Bloomberg is in support of building the mosque near ground zero, because if this is not allowed this would compromise our commitment to fighting terror with freedom. The mayor also said that the compromise would not end the debate. Another question the mayor raised was how large would the no-mosque zone surrounding the World Trade Center end up being.
