On Facebook a friend of mine brought of a conservative view about the plans to build another mosque in NY. This was my response after many before me arguing for and against the matter. I was hoping to gain the most feedback from Athests, regardless of political affiliation. By the end of this rather essay of a comment, I began to question my own beliefs on ethics, such as "As an INTP, why am I defending something in the manner of defending other people's feelings?" And of course some other things popped into my mind as well but I forgot them. Silly personality type. 
From Facebook:
I would suggest reading _____'s last comment over again. This is an intolerance for intolerance, perhaps hate in a sense if you will, but the motives of religion as a collective whole is not the point being made. Extremist muslims are a true threat to ALL of mankind for their inability to accept and "TOLERATE" any other perspectives than theirs, invade other countries (Europe) and force them to recognize and enforce such detrimental crap as "Sharia Law," and who lash out in a savage manner whenever their religion is slandered even in the most trivial nature; Terrorism.
Although the same point could be made about Christians also invading Africa and other countries praising the name of the "lord" in an attempt to effectively destroy other culture in lieu of pure ignorance. Being Atheist wouldn't support any religion, it's deeds, or anything else associated to it.
You would assume (hope rather) that common courtesy would play it's part and muslims would infer it ethical to not build a mosque at or near Ground Zero, even NY preferably. This is a blatant display of disrespect to Americans. Despite this, we don't bomb them or threaten, for all are intimidated by the muslim culture in it's entirety for what the extremist have proven they're capable of. Compare extremists if you want to (perhaps christan and muslim) and the point becomes clear. It's a matter of disrespect, such as bringing over a terrible party guest a second time after they have proven themselves unfit the first time.
Any views from other Atheists would be greatly appreciated regardless of political affiliation, since I am an Atheist republican. Of course, all INTP's insights are top priority.
