It's the same difference. I just put them closeley together because there literally isn't a comprably sized mosque. Also your ignoring the fact that it's in direct view of 90% of people who view it. Since it is right next to the WTC subway exit.
Though fine, it's 400 feet away, 15 stories tall... visible from the site, and you see it every day as you wait for the bus or go into the subway. That's incredibly insensitive.
Heck, say this mosque gets built... and within a week is bombed by a fundamentalist christian group. Then they build a 15 story church two blocks away and visible.
I've got a feeling you'd be pissed about the church.
Also, it's not called being illogical. It's called post traumatic stress disorder.
You are forcing a lot of the victims and victims families to relive the incident by putting it there.

omg.
1. You can't see it from Ground Zero. You need to take a better look at the locations.
2. Its not a "15 story Mosque" Its a 15 story building that on one floor will contain a Mosque.
3. Again no I wouldn't. As I stated earlier to the fictitious church/abortion clinic story, I do not have a irrational fear (phobia) of christians. I know the actions of one person is not the actions of the religion.
Islam in the US has a lot of misinformation beleive true by regular people that just breeds this Islamiphobia, especially when conflicts like thes are exacerbated among the media.

1. Yes... you can. You can't see it now... because it's not built. However it's totally within view. YOU need to take a better look. Seriously. It will be eaisly visibile on Vesey and Church street.
2. Same difference? It's going to be a 15 foot building with a dome.
3. It's got nothing to do with Phobias and everything to do with PTSD and just being REALLY damn insensitive.

1/2. Two very large buildings in the way. Sure you may be able to see top few floors of new building, but it will just look like any other tall building. After all the Mosque will only be part of one floor, not the whole building. Can you show me the plans of the new build to demonstrate what will be so offensive?
3. I just have to disagree with you here. I would never associate the terrorist action with anyone else but that specific group that carried out the attack. I have Palestinian family, yet I don't blame anyone but Israeli government laws and the extremist elements in Israel for their grievances. So I already have a real life example and already prove your point to be wrong.

1) Those buildings aren't "Very tall". They are about two stories a piece... you can see by the picture. I know i've been there.
2) As for the plans for the building... look at the old community center... and every other building in the area. Unless they radically change the buildign style for these type of buildings... it's very noticable.
3) Except you know... for the joke you had earlier in the thread made specifically on the basis of someones religion/race.
