If i understand you correctly what you are saying is that because the builders are Muslim then they must share the guilt of those Muslims who actually did the deed. Is that correct? If that is not what you are saying could you clarify your position a bit more for me?
You have your semantics, I have mine.
I think if Muslims want to build a Muslim Center they should build it in a million
other places besides sacred ground where Muslims in the name of their religion
carried out one of the worst terrorism acts in American history. BT I just think it
is in very poor taste to build a Muslim Center adjacent to or near Ground Zero.
And to your other point....
I think many times a larger group can feel guilt and
shame over what a minority part of their group does.
I think Whites today share a guilt of slavery with those that actually did the deed.
I think Americans are ashamed & feel some guilt when pics arise of US Soldiers cruelty.
When I saw the pics today from Rolling Stone I was angry as hell, but also ashamed/feel guilt.
As a Catholic* I am ashamed/feel guilt that the homo priests did what they did to the alter boys.
I think as a partial White American I share guilt about other Americans treatment of the Indians.
As a partial White American I felt guilt when I saw other White Americans beating Rodney King.
And I think it would be in poor taste to build a "White Pride" monument at the Rodney King beating site.
