	Ground Zero was created because we were bombed by Islams. Now we're supposed to build a temple for them there? No. This is bull.

	I thought we weren't supposed to build ANYTHING there.

	I don't agree with the building of that mosque there but I don't think the government or anyone should deny them their right to practice their religion freely.

	Yes, the people who destroyed the Twin Towers were Muslims, but Islam did not perpetrate 9/11. And as Joe said, Muslims have a constitutional right to build a place of worship wherever they choose, as would any religion. It's also worth noting that this mosque/cultural center has been operating for a year- the only reason it's being talked about now is because it's being used for political purposes by the Right.

	Well, yea they have their rights and all, but why Ground Zero?

	The old Burlington Coat Factory two blocks from Ground Zero was probably the best space they could find. And there are alot of Muslims in Lower Manhattan.

	I would rather have the coat factory than that. But, they have a right to religion.

	As Obama said today, if they were Christians we wouldn't stop them from building a church, and if they were Jewish we wouldn't stop them from building a synagogue. As Americas we can't single out Muslims and say they can't build there, just because the terrorists were Muslims. We can't blame every single Muslim in the world for the terrorist attack.

	I say they just build the mosque a few miles away from where they originally planned and the protests will stop... ...Or not.

	I heard Donald Trump is offering 25% more than what they paid for for that land just so they'll move it. He doesn't agree with removing it but he just wants the controversy to stop already.

	Correction: Donald Trum is against the building of the mosque because he believes it will cause riots everywhere.

	Yup. I hope they take his offer. If they can build a mosque over here why can't we build a church over there?
