theres being political correct, and then there's just ignoring the facts
there is no reason to build a mosque THERE of all places.
if nothing else, then because its insulting to the victims and their families
and i stand by my Nazi statue analogy
Germany is a country
national socialism was a ideology.

Irrational fear, and willing to sacrifice personal liberties is just the beginning, soon we'll be interning muslims like we did to the Japanese. I guess fear is now the only thing we Americans we can have to look forward to. I mean I'd be more afraid of Chinese spiese operating out of the Chinese Consulate. The notion that the victims are owed by any muslim is stupid, if there is a large population of muslims in New York City near the trade center area why not build a mosque there to service the muslims who need it. This is so similar to the inane and insane fear against gay marriage. I can't believe it's come to point where I have to vehemently defend others rights to believe in the god they choose and to do it in the place they choose. What threat does this mosque pose? Nothing, but irrational fear due to lack of understanding of another culture. In the end people afraid of this mosque are bigots and racists, because this is absolutely not a national security issue, but one based on fear and irrationality.\
Also your analogy is absolutely wrong, but the fact that you don't see it just shows how devoid of cultural understanding you have of Islam, and what separates the radicals and majority of the other muslims that live on this planet.
