Its clearly a provocation...........But set up by WHO ?
All the people that are goin to be like "damn, these god damn muslims are just pooring salt into the wound by building a frikin mosque right where our towers stood"

If they have just as much right to be here then why the hell is everyone complaining about the damn mosque? Obviously to a lot of people around here they don't have the right to be here. They don't have right to build places of worship where they see fit.

Why would any faith want to knowingly build a place of worship on ground where thousands of murders have taken place? It sounds way too warped blood thirsty and cultish to me.
Whether Muslims were responsible for 9/11 or not, this is totally macabre and only makes me think less of them.
in my eyes 9/11 was an inside job, that was constructed by people within the US.

How do they do that by putting up a mosque? How is that inviting to non-Muslims, or bring people together when its obviously so controversial? It seems to me that you wouldn't want to put this mosque in a place where Islamic terrorists didn't kill 3,000 people. That CLEARLY isn't bringing people together, including Muslims!

Indeed, a Muslim in this country could fart and people would call it a provocation. Maybe they should just hide in holes. Would that make people around here happy?
