Moving the site of Park51 or otherwise not building it is an undeserved victory for the anti-Muslim bigots like Pam Geller and Glenn Beck. It’s also a sign that people can still emotionally exploit 9/11 as loudly as possible and people will still fall for it.

Neither of those are preferable options. The Park51 project must go forward, and it must be built exactly where they’re going to build it. Period. To do otherwise is to give the intolerant bigots and the cynical manipulators on the right a win.

Not only that, it could turn the young Muslim population to the extreme side of Islam. If they aren’t allowed to pray and practice as moderate, then something else will surely beckon.
