New Mosque at Ground Zero How insulting!

Please listen.



I couldn't agree more heartily! Just because something is legal, doesn't make it the right thing to do. I am sure there are other locations where the mosque could be built that wouldn't offend tender hearts. Places where the healing that has begun would not be interrupted by a blatant reminder of the evil that was done in the name of that religion. Sure we have laws that guarantee freedom of speech and religion. But the whole key to our country's greatness is the way we have been adapting over the last two hundred years to make societies that work through consideration, politeness, selflessness, that we take a matter into account and weigh it while formulating an opinion or plan, that we have thoughtful and sympathetic regard, and our opinion should be obtained by reflection. This group is well aware of the offensiveness of their plan to America. So why is America letting/encouraging this to happen? It seems to me that they could build a mosque a further distance without it having to be a reminder of the horrible things that happened. Because these people claimed to be doing the horrible deeds in the name of Islam they know that this will be a sore spot rubbed raw by the building of a mosque. The Mormon Pioneers were persecuted at their beginning in this country. So they left for the west and settled in Utah. As their church has grown and they need to add places of worship, they do everything in their power to make sure that this is backed, endorsed, and held in favorable regard by the country and community where it is going to sit. Seems like a good plan. When we all play nice together and try to get along, wonders happen! Mutual respect begets mutual respect. And with respect, hopefully, comes understanding.
