I couldn't think any less of you without a dircet action that specifically harmed someone. |
How do you figure that millions of people will suffer unneeded anguish from seeing a Mosque close to Ground Zero?

I think he is imagining massive pilgrimage to the site by PTSD sufferers who have phobic reactions to symbols of Islam.
He can't be talking about residents in the area, as they already must be suffering from the mosque already there! So it's the same angush either way 
On a related note, Kasz, I just thought of the fact that it's not like this building is probably going to have a giant red sign painted on it saying "OMG MUSLIM BUILDING". What makes you so sure this will be instantly identifiable to them, thus triggering the anguish, once the dust settles and the media move on?

Well, yes. That's actually one coping mechanism. Besides the fact that 14% of 8 million people is already over a million.
As for knowing what it is, well that's easy, Islamic architecture is a lot different from US arhitecture.
It looks like it might get settled anyway though, the whole thing is looking to be a huge cash making scheme. The guy who bought the land for 5 million is now offering to sell it and not build the community center, for the low low price of 20 million.
If that was his original intention, man is a genious.
