And what annoys me about the entire business -

Something like 10% of the people killed in the 9/11 attacks were members of the Muslim faith.

What, those roughly 300 people don't count?

This whole debate is BS of the highest order. Cordoba owns the land, has followed all the appropriate laws and can and should do what they want.

They are being reasonably sensitive (althought I get the feeling they're getting tired of it now for which I cannot blame them) and have the support of everyone to whom the concept of 'Freedom of Religion' one of the founding tenants of the United States of America means anything.

There's a Christian church across the street from the WTC site. Should it be razed? Of course not.

The whackjobs who crashed planes into buildings that September morning are just that - whackjobs. They no more represent the majority of their faith, or their nationality, or anything else than Timothy McVeigh represents all Christians or all Americans.

It's stupid and the whiners should shut the fuck up and realize that they are becoming exactly what Al Qaeda accuses them of being and wants them to be.
