I understand what you're saying kasz, and I understand that the media is full of hate/fear mongering.
But if I knew someone who did this, I would slap the shit out of them.
They talk like the mosque is a victory symbol. It's not. It's just another day in NYC. They want to put it there because it's prime real-estate. That area is so busy and the people who do business there are of every race and creed, and islam, being the harsh mistress that it is, requires more dedication. You're saying that business men in that area have no right to worship?
It has nothing to do with victory or anything. It's an open space.
Sure there will be people who take offense, but it's a silly thing to take offense over.
The islamic people who are here are seeking refuge. The sunni and shiites and other terrorist groups terrorize everyone, not just americans. Peole leave iraq and iran and come here to get away. The mosque is not a symbol of victory for muslims. It is American.
If a child were to say, daddy why is there a mosque right next to ground zero? The answer should be, "because we are the greatest country in the world, and nothing will ever stop us from protecting our friends and preserving the rights of every man, woman, and child"

Once again... you are simply not looking at it correctly.
If, radical Christians killed your daughter in an abortion clinic bombing near your work.
How would you feel about an Church being put up right next to said ruins that you have to drive by every day?
The mosque being there will be a sign of america's greatness.
But the greatness that we even protect the rights of people when they use those rights to be insensitive assholes.
The same as the KKK's right to throwing racist protests is a sign of America's greatness.
Building a giant grand church near an abortion clinic would be a douchebag move, or a burned down mosque by fundamental christians. This is no different. Except for media reaction.
Had Christian fundamentalists destroyed a building and killed people... and christian leaders built a huge 15 story church wthin visibility...
the Media would do nothing but complain about why it coudn't be moved.

and if it's not build over protest it would be a great recruiting tool for extremest
they could say see American hate all forms of Islam
you need to not asociate all Islam with the terroist attacks
just like you need to not associat all churches with abortion clinic bombings
