Because all Muslims in the world conspired the 9/11 attacks? I've seen the discussion about this before and the response disgusts me as an American. Honestly, people can be so small-minded.
As is my understanding, there is already a building on the site owned by a Muslim community leader which is already being used for that purpose. All that will change is the structure they do it in. Let them build their mosque. They won't be doing any flag burning or planning of terrorist attacks in there, nor put up giant banners with Osama bin Laden's face on the outside. They're peaceful people who simply want a place to pray. Denying them that is denying them their civil liberties granted to them as Americans, indeed one of the reasons they and their parents and grandparents chose to become Americans. What other gray areas will we come up with next for the brown people among us?
