America blows up Iraq so is it okay?

For us to go build a new World Trade Center in downtown Baghdad? Isn't that the equivalent of a mosque in NY?

Update:

The argument being that "Muslims didn't kill us on 9/11 extremists did, terrorists did."

(paraphrased from The View today)

Update 2:

It's like saying you blew us away now come on over and slap my mother. Do you really think I'd allow that? How much more a slap in the face is it to the families whose loved ones were lost in 9/11?

I'm not trying to be obnoxious, I'm seriously asking because so many people are at odds over this.

The concept just blows my mind. As a christian I know we are to turn the other cheek and love our enemies as ourselves. But isn't our government giving the muslim faith more freedom than our own christian faith? How is that fair or right?

    Oh no. Anger and hatred is only tolerated one way.

    They can bomb us. They can hate us. They can burn our flags and books.

    We are supposed to smile and tolerate them. We are not supposed to defend ourselves.

    Yes. They do treat us like dirt. We are infidels. To them we are worse than dogs.

    We is any non-Muslim. They/them is any Muslim. They do not believe it is wrong to lie to an infidel. Their conscience is seared by absolute and utter hatred of anyone who does not follow what they believe.

    No. A group of radicals fly planes into buildings and many americans begin to believe that it fair to deny people their basic rights because they happen to be a more moderate version of the religion. So in Iraq terms. It would be like them treating every christian in their nation like less than dirt because they happen to be the same religion as a majority of Americans.

    Only if they get to run sham elections in America and put a puppet government in power just like USA did in Afghanistan.

    What is your source for your belief?

    And if you are asking if a financial building is the same thing as a religious building, the answer is no.

    Iraq didn't do a damn thing to America, yet you guys go invade and treat civilians as target practice. You're the terrorists, not them.

    I think a church in Hiroshima is a better analogy - and they've already built one.
