It's tolerance and peace .. <br /><br />I do agree perhaps the siting of the new mosque is probably not appropriate and before the anger overflowed into a furore: the siting could have been moved to avoid the extra challenges it's now presenting. Too many never look at all the sides of a story .. and pass racist, hateful comments without ever fully understanding.<br /><br />Thanks - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-1729626628035744482011-09-11T20:55:12.788-05:002011-09-11T20:55:12.788-05:00Thanks, Elliot :
