Is it appropiate to build a muslim religious center near the world trade center

I was hoping for a response to the arguments that still works in rebutting all of your arguments. The main problem with Con is that he has not responded to the fact that American Muslims are different from the global Muslim community. Defense: I am free to attack the old testament in an attempt to disprove Christianity, because the Church views the Old Testament has canon. In order for Con to ignore the Old Testament, than he must prove that Jesus and the apostles themselves disapproved of the old testament. The apostles, Jesus, and the overwhelming majority of churches view The Old Testament as canon. Old Testament Canonicity11. Jesus made reference to the Law and Prophets as a unit, "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill," (Matt. 5:17). Jesus explained the Scriptures, "Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures," (NASB, Luke 24:27). Jesus referred to the entire Canon by mentioning all the prophets from Abel (from Genesis, the first book and first martyr) to Zechariah (Chronicles, the last book, and the last martyr) (Matt. 23:35). . https://bible.org... However, even if Con disproves this argument; I still win this debate, because Con has not answered the arguments on American Muslims being different. American Muslims: They're better educated than most Americans U. S. Muslims have the second-highest level of education among major religious groups in the country; Jews have the highest. And a greater proportion of them have college degrees than the general U. S. population. They have more gender equality "While in many parts of the Muslim world, women are confined to second-class status, that's not the case among American Muslims. Virtually all of them, 90%, agree that women should be able to work outside the home. American Muslim women hold more college or postgraduate degrees than Muslim men. And they are more likely to work in professional fields than women from most other U. S. religious groups. They've been here since the birth of the nation . .. Scholars estimate about a quarter to a third of the Africans brought to the United States as slaves were Muslims. Most were then forced to convert to Christianity. but they're not as dogmatic as they are portrayed Much has been made about fundamentalist Muslims and their strict interpretation of the Quran. But most American Muslims are different. A Pew religious landscape survey found that 57% of American Muslims say there is more than one way to interpret Islam's teachings. A similar number say many different religions can lead to eternal life. Muslims also spoken out against it After every terrorist attack at home and abroad, the refrain rises, "Where is the Muslim condemnation? " American Muslims have spoken out -- and done much more. A Duke University study found more terrorism suspects and perpetrators were brought to the attention of law enforcement by members of the Muslim-American community than were discovered through U. S. government investigations. And a Pew survey found that roughly half of U. S. Muslims say their religious leaders aren't speaking out enough against Islamic extremism. " By Holly Yan, CNN All of these arguments have been dropped by my opponent. I do not need to disprove the arguments made by Pro, because he fails to explain the link between the global Muslim community and American Muslims. Reasons for winning: Con dropped all arguments about American Muslim beliefs which made a significant portion of my case. Con does not explain the link between American Muslim beliefs and global Muslim beliefs. Con also does not explain the link between the Quran verses, and the effect it has on 2 billion Muslims. Con does not give any evidence how building a Muslim mosque near the World Trade Center harms anybody.
