<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Every time the news is on, there is something about the Ground Zero mosque, now the burqa in France thing. Whenever something like this is on the news, I hear my mother and step dad saying "Yeah, I'm with that!" yelling to the television about how it is right and the good thing to do. It's getting really tough for me to not say "Why do you think that?".

I tried that today though, even though my brain was shouting "Don't say it, there will be a useless argument, stop it!", and my mother and I got in an argument. I won't go in depth, but the most things she had to say were "I don't agree with you", "You're wrong", "You should read the newspaper more". Upon me asking "Why don't you agree with me?" she responds with "You don't have any knowledge of this, you should read more".

Whenever I get her in the corner (discussion wise), she takes one word from my previous sentence and starts a discussion about something completely off-topic.

About my discussion capabilities. This morning I asked a classmate what he was thinking about the mosque at Ground Zero, he said he was against the mosque being build there.
"So why are you against it?"
"Because people in America lost family members that were at the WTC"
"Muslims also were in the WTC at the time, shouldn't they get to pray?"
"That's a fairly straight point, I guess you're right"
<bot>: My mother is very anti Muslim but doesn't see it, in an argument I just can't get her to see my point, like I'm talking to a wall.
