what i think, is that in a way, the organizers should have thought, "hmmm, maybe people won't be too happy if i put this here..."

but at the same time, how close would be too close? would you be allowed to build another mosque on Manhattan? Or should it be say in Brooklyn? or is NY state just too close to ground zero?

and people who are pissed off about the mosque need to realize, that it was the islamic faith that drove those planes into the WTC, it was the crazy fundamentalist Al Qaeda...

I support the Mosque, and I'm extremely happy that Obama and Bloomberg does as well. I think that building a mosque/cultural centre is the first step in having a not-so-paranoid USA, and removing some of the ignorance.

I also walked by the place a few weeks ago, it's not at the WTC, it's a few blocks away.
