Well at least when you base an opinion on an entire religion and people of almost 2 billion, you generalize in the positive as well as the negative.
This would cause me to begin to respect Islam just a tiny bit if this turns out to be true.

Ground Zero Mosque On The Move? « CBS New York- News, Sports, Weather, Traffic and the Best of NY
The argument being made in opposition to the proposed New York City Mosque is that it is too close to Ground Zero and, therefore, its location would offend the sensitivies of some whose families suffered losses from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. However, Voice of America reported that there appears to be a broader trend of opposition to Mosques well beyond Ground Zero. Voice of America reported:
Meanwhile, a Muslim-American group warned Tuesday of what it called a "growing pattern" of opposition to mosque construction across the country.
Mahdi Bray, director of the group called the Muslim American Society Freedom, said plans to build mosques have been opposed or denied in other parts of New York City, as well as in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
What are the excuses for opposition to those other Mosques?
Is the argument about the proposed Mosque's proximity to Ground Zero (two blocks away) really being used as a convenient pretext within a larger pattern of opposition to Islam/Mosques to try to thwart the construction of a specific Mosque?
Quite frankly, if there is such a pattern as cited within the article, it may well hint at a troubling erosion of religious tolerance.
Then why are Muslim groups saying not to build there?

Specially when one considers that the vast majority of Casualties of Islamic Terrorism are muslims themselves.
Oh well, no need for silly facts like that.
A vast number of the casualties on 9/11 were Muslims?
How blatant a violation of the 1st amendment do you want?
No it's not. State Land? to a religion? How blatant a violation of the 1st amendment do you want?
New York Gov. David Paterson plans to meet with developers of the controversial ground zero mosque as early as this week to offer them state land – at another location – for their cultural and religious center. Paterson told Congressman Peter King about the meeting, and King said the governor asked him to make it public.
Public safety. Its obvious this Mosque being placed where it is now could easily enflame tensions unnecessarily.
Are you saying its against the law to consider public safety?

Anyone else see a 1st amendment problem with this?
I am saying it's against the law for government to give preferential treatment to one religion over another. Giving a religion public land is just that.
So what do you call a church inside the pentagon genius?
