Dale Said:

Would it be Fair to Make the Mosque Promoters Post an Insurance Bond?

We Answered:

Not fair, because you're singling out one religion.

Not possible because:

1. BUILDINGS don't cause massive damage, explosions, toxins, or radiation - those are all caused by people building the buildings, or supplying the materials, or behaving badly.

2. NO insurance is going to cover toxins or radiation. It's a standard exclusion, across the board.

3. A "bond" doesn't work that way. A bond is a three party agreement, with the obligee being the entity that gets paid, the insurance company doing the paying, and the obligor the one who's behavior is guaranteed by the bond. You're talking about insurance, not a bond.

4. Americans pick up the tab, because we vote in politicians that LOVE to spend our money. We ARE able to stop our politicians from behaving badly. Most of us can't be bothered, as indicated by voter turnout polls.

5. Yes, of course there's risk! Islam is absolutely the MOST VIOLENT religion in the world, and the history of the world! Know how the last muslim invasion of Europe was stopped? THE CRUSADES. But here in the USA, my relatives and ancestors have DIED to protect the right of every single person here in this country to worship - or not worship - exactly as they please.

6. I think you're missing one very, very vital point . . . which insurance company would WANT to "insure" a group of muslims funded by terrorist backing organizations, with pro-terrorist spokespersons, against terroristic acts? None I can think of. So it's a moot point.

Don't get me wrong. I think the "park 51" location for a mosque is in extremely poor taste. And it boggles my mind, how people can claim that the site is not ground zero. Because it's occupied by a building, which was hit by a plane, flown by a terrorist, on September 11, 2001. Must be some new definition of 'ground zero'.

Arlene Said:

Is this a good businness letter?

We Answered:

It is not effective in that you haven't demonstrated what the return on investment would be by opening these new offices. I'm sure that they know that if they wanted to expand into those cities, they would need more offices. This letter has offered no compelling reason for them to think that it is worth the expense.

Darryl Said:

For the Ground Zero Mosque Would a Compulsory Insurance Bond Make Sense?

We Answered:

I would think that you would need to make an actual connection, not an emotional one, between the administrators and members of the Mosque and the terrorist attacks. Of course, they would point out the number of other Mosques in the area whose members are not being targeted and required to take out an expensive multi million dollar policy. Nobody is also making the Saudi embassy pay for such an insurance bond and the same emotional argument can be made about them too.

The whole suggestion will never fly other then to inflame the radicals on YA.

Tracy Said:

Better if it is not built.
The Moslems behind this project are looking for trouble.
There will be extremists at this mosque.
The ''cleric'' is an extremist with links to terrorists.
PC is being used against the US in a cynical way.

Edwin Said:

Do know why Elliot Spitzer was the Sheriff of Wall Street?

We Answered:

Of course they had it out for him .He was prosecuting half of them on bogus charge. Wild west wall street wanted him stopped so they can continue with insider trading ,securities fraud,corruption at all levels. Thanks to the past 7 years of corporate deregulation courtesy of GWB. Allowing all these companies to basically hijack America while the goverment turns a blind eye on them and then these crappy banks and lenders screw up and then they get rewarded a handout for negligent behavior .By doing this you will see even more neglect and abuse by irresponsible corporations because they see blank check by uncle sam if/when things get UGLY.
