In the article by Jeffrey Kluger '' I know The Truth, So don’t Bother Me with Facts’’, there are rumors and lies going around that's creating an uncomfortable environment for many people. It's been extremely confrontational over the planning mosque at ground zero in downtown Manhattan. Fear plays a critical role in human's behavior which makes other uncomfortable especially with religious practices. Recently researchers at Ohio State University did a study to found out about the misguided false beliefs that was circulating.

In a new study R. Kelly Garrett and Eric Nisbet, assistant professors from the communication at Ohio State University, the study was done with 750 people that they recruited. At least one of the many rumors was about the proposed Islamic cultural center. Individuals included what they believe and things they were familiar with. Both Garrett and Nisbet were surprised by how gullible these people were to insinuating picture or inflammatory quotes. Even in the greatest circumstances less than a third out of 750 people was willing to change their minds regardless of the contradiction and facts present.

I believe that for century human have been extremely gullible. It is becoming ridiculous with rumors about the planning of the mosque at ground zero. When will this madness stop !!! We will never know unless people learn how to communicate and respect one another, but I strongly feel building a mosque at ground zero will definitely start problems. Since there was an attack on 911 it would be inappropriate to build an Islamic cultural center. If they were able to build the center I would not want to travel no where near it because at any given time I feel there will be retaliation between Islam’s and Americans. I will start a battle that will continuously kill incident people and themselves.
