There are some workers in New York are refusing to work on the proposed Mosque. In my opinion, the debate over whether the mosque should be built was irrelevant. But refusing to do the work is spot on. This is how we can flex muscle. Dont make up laws but you can refuse to purchase or work for a company.
What do you think? Do you think this is a better idea?

Yes, yes, yes, laglen, these construction workers are spot on. And so are you for recognizing it as an excellent remedy while we still have "right of refusal".

I don't understand what you mean by "trample rights". Yes, we all have the free will to do what is evil, or the right to be wrong. But, re this issue, truth is being distorted and lies promoted.
We have a right to self-defense and protection as well.
"Rights" must be examined, weighed, and measured in the crucible of God's truth.
A deliberate attempt to vanquish and subjugate dissenters and establish a sign of supremacy in face of such horrendous murder is not a right, but a threat.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing".
We've already gone too far and lost too much to continue to engage the deception and lies of taqiya and jihad. By allowing this, our country is being trampled, dishonored, and disenfranchised beyond belief.

believe me, we never refuse a minority like christian, hindu, buddha to build their "God home" but in our law, there are explanation. build a church, pura, or anything is counted how many of christian, buddha, or hindu in that location. if only less 5, how they build their God Home, when this place is identic with moslem or another religion. off course , it`s same to majority(moslem). moslem is forbidden to build many mosque if that place is identic with another religion

I certainly think they have a right to refuse and that's fine. However, in this economy I think it will not be difficult to find many union members who will do the work so I don't see this as making much of a statement.

Do Muslims not have construction workers?
I think the best plan is for those who want to build this proposed Mosque to wise up and realize that it's better to build good will among the people than to build this Mosque. They may have the "right" to build a Mosque in this location, but if they are people of peace, like they claim, they will be more prudent and respect the feelings of others. This Mosque and community center will not bring about good relationships between the various people groups, and I bet they already know that.

I am so pleased to hear this. Good for them and I hope they get a whole lot of people behind them supporting what they are doing as the whole world is against building there with only a few in favour. Well done them

Refusing to build the mosque they will refuse to help build an Islamic mosque and cultural center planned for Lower Manhattan. The BlueCollarCorner blog has started what is called the 911 Hard Hat Pledge to rally union and no-union tradesmen to refuse to work the site near Ground Zero.Andy Sullivan, a field super for A big union construction outfit, is behind the pledge.

I think it is a good idea but I do not think Obama will like it as he is supposed to have the unions in his pocket (The Obama administration and the Democrat Party has yet again instituted new rules, rolling back requirements that forced unions to report their financial doings to their members and the public.

So will that mean no-one will get fired for refusing to do their job as they are union workers?
