Obama gave a speech during White House dinner Celebrating Ramzan that "as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country"
He added “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are.”
Many people have welcomed this speech and it has given enormous boost for building Muslim community center and mosque near ground zero.When people are having a wrong perception and doing a wrong thing it is important that the President show them that they are wrong. Mr.Obama has done exactly that. It is important Americans must understand that it is not Muslim that they are fighting, it is Al-Queda and its ally Taliban that they are fighting.
By denying the right to build mosque near the ground Zero it will only create social unrest and grow the anti-american sentiment in the Muslim World. The Muslim-Americans living in the country will become even more fearful of their being.
This debate of building mosque or not is not going to end now. But President's backing along with that of the Mayor of New York will prove decisive in the end. Lets hope all masses are given equal rights to practice the religion they want and where they want.
