Why did no one object to the "Pentagon mosque"?

Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be fired.

Any guesses as to why no one has ever heard about Muslims praying at the Pentagon -- let alone cared? It's almost as if the entire "ground zero mosque" controversy was whipped up out of nothing by a right-wing tabloid and politicians in search of a wedge issue ...

Comparing a place for Muslims who work at the Pentagon to pray inside the Pentagon is hardly the same as a Mosque/Cultural Center at Ground Zero.

Too bad, we are playing for keeps just like you progressives.

Seems while we were focused on the problem of our borders the mosques have been gaining in strength.

"Muslims have been praying inside the Pentagon since Sept. 11 but right-wingers have been strangely silent "

It's the liberals who object to religion. Conservatives and normal thinking people object to the ground zero mosque for obvious reasons that are lost on the pea brain of the liberal.

Exactly. But the newbie just signed up today to post this

I would guess that there are chapel and chaplain facilities in the Pentagon, as there are on all US military bases. There are Muslims in the armed services and they are as entitled to religious opportunities as Catholics or Baptists. So the author sarcastic outrage is entirely misplaced. Maybe they were looking to ignite a firestorm of critics of the mosque’s presence.

It's hard to believe that English is my first (and only) language, eh? I should have written:

Comparing a place for Muslims who work at the Pentagon to pray inside the Pentagon to a Mosque/Cultural Center at Ground Zero is wrong.

Folks, catsup is a troll trying to discount concern over the Ground Zero Mosque as a right wing wedge issue.

No, Mr. Troll, it is true and reasonable concern.

As was the newbie who posted this. Unfortunately, some took the bait.

Wow, quite the hissy fit.

A Mosque in the Pentagon is not a big deal. I think most American still believe in freedom of religion. Just don't impose your religion on me by force.

The 9/11 Mosque is an obvious attempt to slap us in the face and should not be build there, didn't say they can't build their temple of Satan, just not there
