A mosque rises over Ground Zero. And fed-up New Yorkers are crying, "No!"
A chorus of critics -- from neighbors to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 to me -- feel as if they've received a swift kick in the teeth.
Plans are under way for a Muslim house of worship, topped by a 13-story cultural center with a swimming pool, in a building damaged by the fuselage of
a jet flown by extremists into the World Trade Center.
The opening date shall live in infamy: Sept. 11, 2011. The 10th anniversary of the day a hole was punched in the city's heart.

Look, I am all for religious freedom.... heck, I like beaing able to voice openly my lack of faith.
BUT, A mosque at ground zero?? Really?
They can call it what ever they like, Islam thrives off of things like this. This may be a peacful sect... But this will bring the extremists by the
droves.
I do not condone it.... but this mosque will be a target of attacks by americans.
How ironic would it be, if Jim Bob from Alabama, flies a Cessna into the mosque?
