When the Founding Father’s wrote the 1st Amendment, they quickly saw that not all freedom of speech should be protected. The example they used was yelling ”Fire!” in a crowded theater as this would create panic and people would be crushed in the rush to leave the theater. So what this comes down is freedom but within reason, meaning that people have freedom to say things but as long as it doesn’t put people in society in any danger.
Building this Ground Zero Mosque will put people in danger, won’t it? I mean, this is going to make a lot of people in the USA very angry and there will likely be an increase in sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians because of this mosque, right? So shouldn’t the federal court step in and use the yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater argument and outlaw any new Muslim buildings in New York?

This is the fourth time that I've seen you post a question about the "Ground Zero Mosque" today Desiree. What's wrong? You got nothing better to do than to express your hate on Islam?
What's done is done. The Islamic Center is being built and there is nothing you can do about it. Let it go already, no one in the government can hear you.
Get rid of your Islamophobia and shut the hell up, and then when you're done with that, find some real issue to talk about.
No, it's not.
First of all, it's not illegal to yell "fire" in a crowded theater that is actually burning.
It's not a violation of the first amendment to pass a law that prohibits yelling "fire" as a false alarm, primarily because the resulting panic would cause possible physical danger to people and secondarily financial loss to the theater.
So, how is this different from the lawful building of a religious center on private property? It's very different. That action may well cause illegal and violent acts, but it not an "incitement" of such acts. It is certainly not reasonable to prohibit lawful actions on private property because of fears of illegal reprisals and intimidation --- that is a cause for police protection, to prevent human rights violations.
You know that the proposed community center would be 2 blocks from the World Trade Center, and there is alread a Mosque 4 blocks from the site? This whole deal is just shameful Republican Party propaganda, and it will go away right after the election.
Its the media who is yelling fire in the crowded theatre. This mosque is two block away from ground zero, there other mosques in the area, and it technically not even a mosque its a community center. Also the guy in charge of it is a big opponent of the Taliban. The media should be ashamed on this, so ashamed of themself especially when someone do something bad to the community center and more people would die in NY.
No?
It's reasonable to panic if you think you're in a burning movie theater. It is NOT reasonable to panic if someone builds a mosque in New York. The government should not deprive anyone of their freedom of religion just to prevent some insecure islamophobes from feeling threatened.
You're becoming a bit of a zealot aren't you.
So because people riot in the streets and people die when a danish newspaper prints a comic of MoMohead, we should make it illegal?
Well, what if a bunch of people riot and kill people if they DON'T build a Mosque?
What if a bunch of people riot and kill if you DO build a Mosque?
It is a no win situation here. Shut the hell up about it. You lose!!!!! They are building as they are protected to do as such in a free state.

Building a cathedral next to a school will put children in danger, won't it? LOGIC FAIL. Call it the Ground Zero Mosque and you're a liar.
There is a clear difference. The sectarian violence would not be cause by the mosque, but by the irrational beliefs of those involved.
It is more like yelling fire in a crowded Lady's rest room
I think it's more like "I can you can't" hypocrisy for the Christians. I love how they treat it as being the most sacred thing since their bible when it fits their needs while throwing it out the window when it doesn't benefit them.
secular schools were founded all over the muslim world then why do you find strange our reaction and call it terrorism.in fact your children wont go our mosque but our children are forced to go these schools
