HAHA, Amen to that, step away from the lectern...
I'm glad you do at least have the knowledge to call it Cordoba House, because the two main points about the "Ground Zero Mosque", is that it isn't at Ground Zero and it isn't a mosque, but when did Fox ever let the facts get in the way of a good story...
The first time I listened to this I thought that Mr Gingrich was being quite reasonable, then I paid attention to the words and the fact he was saying them so calmly made it quite scary. He pretty much painted ALL Muslims as fanatics. That's like saying all Christians are red neck, young Earth creationist that blow up abortion centres, whilst waiting for The Rapture to arrive. Yes these people exist, but they are a tiny minority.
To say that there shouldn't be a Muslim building near the site, because there are no Christian buildings in Saudi Arabia is also misleading. Saudi Arabia is a THEOCRACY, not a Democracy, or a Republic and certainly not one with the supposed Religious freedoms that are written into your constitution.
By allowing an Islamic culture centre 'near' the site of the 9/11 attacks, we show the Islamic world that what they say about the west attacking Islam is wrong. That we are more tolerant, that we are more accepting of others and that we aren't just the war mongering, oil hungry, infidels they think we are.
The link above shows how the UK is looking at the way the US is reporting this, you might like to read some of the comments that have been posted... not great.
