I've plowed this field before. The building is close enough to Ground Zero to have been damaged in the attacks, the imam seeking to build the mosque is interestingly sketchy when it comes to his views of 9/11 responsibility and terrorism, and people have every right to be against building a mosque at that location. Ultimately, the question at this point becomes vital: If this imam is concerned with building bridges of understanding and trust between Americans and individuals espousing the Muslim faith, shouldn't he consider building the mosque elsewhere?
