I have heard about people condemning the New York Mosque because of it's proximity to Ground Zero, the site of the Twin Towers.
I think this is really unfair to the Muslims who live in New York, who had nothing to do with 9-11. Islam is a world religion, and should not be held in contempt because of a handful of extremists.
Even Christianity has its extremists, such as Anti-Abortion activists that have gone on to Murder Abortion Doctors. You can't hold a religion responsible when it actually commands you not to kill, and certain followers ignore those commands.
Freedom of Religion is guaranteed under our constitution. It does not guarantee Freedom From Religion! Apparently the separation of Church and State people believe this fallacy. So I say let the Muslims have their Mosque, and pray with us for peace in the middle east.
