Well, I think the decision to build the mosque 2 blocks from the tower site is awful. It’s not against the law or unconstitutional, it just flies in the face of common sense and decency. The Arizona law may very well be illegal altogether (and I think it is) and that’s a different issue.

I’m not against mosques. I have no problem with mosques or churches or any places of worship. There are more churches one mile square around my house than Starbucks and THAT is amazing! There is also one mosque and no Jewish temples. But I am against THIS mosque in THIS place because I think it’s insulting to the community.

In the end, the New Yorkers decided YEA so who am I to complain?

Putting a mosque up there is going to attract a lot of public attention, it could be a great opportunity for Muslims to show that they are not a threat to America and its Way of life.

But if they fail, they will fail big.
