9/11 mosque

I don't have a lot of time at the moment, but I'd just like to quote a piece of a wikipedia article on the Cordoba House. As a preface, immediately before this piece of the article, it was shown that every poll demonstrates the huge opposition Americans have towards allowing the mosque to be built 2 blocks away from the 9/11 attack.

Notably, opposition to the location of the project at the proposed site does not always entail opposition to a recognition of the developers' legal right to locate the project at the proposed site. The Quinniapac University poll of New York State residents released August 31, 2010 notes "By a 54 - 40 percent majority, voters agree 'that because of American freedom of religion, Muslims have the right to build the mosque near Ground Zero,'.". A Fox News national poll taken August 10–11, 2010 found that 61% felt that the project developers had a right to build a mosque there (a majority of Democrats (63-32%), Republicans (57-36%), and Independents (69-29%).

Hear that, elitist liberal mainstream media?

WE'RE NOT THE BIGOTED, RACIST, ANTI-MUSLIMS YOU THINK WE ARE.

We know that Muslims have a constitutional right to worship their religion. But they should take our sensibilities into account.

To use the other largest attack on American soil in the past century as an example, the Japanese have not pushed to create a Japanese cultural center or Shinto shrine near Pearl Harbor, trying to promote community and understanding and tolerance (and all those other euphemisms that the faces of radical Islam spout when defending their cause), even though Japan is one of the closest allies of the United States and we've gone so far as to create artworks about the nobility of the Japanese warriors who fought against us. I'm sure there are Japanese cultural centers or equivalent elsewhere in the nation, but good sense was exercised in the placement of their construction and they have not been build near the site of our national tragedy.

Yes, Muslims have the right to worship in our country. No, they should not construct a Muslim place of worship 2 blocks away from the site of the 9/11 tragedy, even if they use the term "community center" to describe it. Have some respect for the honored, innocent fallen.

DON'T TREAD ON ME.
