You can argue the right and wrong of it till you give yourselve's ulcers. But, lets say a car load of inocent people, kids included, are killed in your neighborhood by a drunk driver. One who has a long record of drunk driving and many acounts of showing contempt for laws and inocent people. How would you feel, if soon after, the drunk drivers family decided to open a bar at, or very near, the crash site? Sure, if all laws are followed they would have every right to do so. But it sure would be an obvious insult to the family, friends, and neighbors of those killed now wouldn't it? Not to even mention an insult to the memory of those killed. At best it would be in very very poor taste! Now, please exsplain to me the differance in that and the Muslims wishing to build a mosque near ground zero? Legal, yes. An obvious insult? Probably. Poor taste? Definitely! Only diferance I see is that the insult or poor taste, whichever the case may be, is on a much grander scale. Now, in no way did I just bash Muslims. I simply stated common sense fact.
