I don't really see what point you are trying to make here. It sounds a bit tit for tat.

Re: Talk of Mosque 2 blocks away from Ground Zero
Well say for example I wanted to build a large pie shop in a part of NY but there was huge opposition due to a few dodgy pies being responsible for killing folk a while back. There was uproar and people were really offended. I would think to myself...well my pies are good to go but it is probably best if I open up somewhere else as not to offend. It is not a slight on my pies. It is just common sense.
So I move off to an area who will welcome and enjoy my pies instead of accusing the whole of NY/America/Non Pie eaters of being Anti Pie.
Common sense should be applied. There are plenty of places to build it elsewhere I am sure.

It's shitkickers from far away that feel the greatest need to get involved in this town planning issue, think they know all about NY real estate and think they know what Teh Muslins "are really like".

No mosque. They should build some ICBM silos there instead - filled with missiles aimed at Mecca, Teheran, Damascus etc.
Yeehah!
Yeehah!

I'd find another KFC outlet more offensive.

I think it is giving in to extremists (both Muslim and Christian) to disallow the mosque. They want hatred and fear to rule. The US is a better country than that. Banning it would probably make the terrorists happy and moderate Muslims afraid.

To be fair it should be a matter of give and take, mutual respect. As the situation is now the west is seen as a soft touch and we're being manipulated, despised and over-run because of it. Approvals for planning permission to build mosques in the western/traditionally christian countries should be linked to the same for churches in the eastern/traditionally muslim world. For example, in Malaysia consent to build new churches is rarely given.

Exactly: How many times after 9-11 were we told "they hate us for our freedoms"? Well it appears some people's answer to that is to do away with some of these freedoms.

I wonder how much the hot dog pitch outside would be worth?
