Think about the nature of the beast we are up against. Regardless of your position this is not a good idea. No matter the issue or what I discuss I always take an unbiased view. Your own feelings and thoughts should have no bearing. The goal is to do the right thing. The right thing for the whole not the right thing for you. I taught all my sons that and they are all quite the workers and leaders though like me they always feel alone and you are!
That said doing the right thing almost never works in your favor but you can not change your principles. Having said that, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn have supported the project. The proposed mosque has drawn opposition from half Governor Sarah Palin who should not even be a thought and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich who have called its proposed presence near the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history inappropriate.
The project's sponsor, the Cordoba Initiative, describes itself as a pluralistic organization seeking better relations between the Islamic community and other faiths so they say. Last week, Abraham Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League, an organization created to fight religious intolerance, said the city "would be better served if an alternative location could be found.

Once again I have an unpopular opinion and also one not heard once yet. What's new as it is the truth and the right thing to do. Those parties who lost loved ones and friends should have their opinions considered but like those who under the auspices of equality say it should be allowed should also be considered.However I hate to say it but what they think does not matter here.
Consider the nature of the beast we are against. We hear the thought that this is not a war against Islam but whether we want it or not it is. We are not against all Islam as we are a melting pot of all religions and lack there of as we are a melting pot of all races and creeds. Again with all that said the only consideration here should be the so called terrorists who are waging unholy war with us forcing us to fight them and we will.
* With all said and done that Mosque should not be allowed to be built 2 blocks from ground zero not because it insults the aggrieved or that it is too close but it would be another big laugh by Islamists at us and an in your face "see we won" a laugh and rallying call to further sacrifice their lives to kill the infidels.I can see that mosque as a pilgrimage site for all those who want to go there to pray just so they can say they did it at ground zero. Ground Zero is as important to extremists as it is to us only for the opposite reason. I don't like it what do you think?
