On this issue I know 3 things;
1. Building anything Muslim that close to ground zero is just asking for trouble.
2. Not all Muslims are terrorists. (needs to be said since some people think otherwise)
3. This is a good opportunity for the USA to make a gesture of goodwill to the world and the Muslim community. They (the Muslim world, Middle East, all of it) doesn't seem capeable of such gestures our way (to the westerners, US, Canada, GB, etc), such gestures of kindness are up to us.
It's hard to boast about being a land of freedom and then deny people something based on their religion, no? I do think it would be smarter if they built whatever it is they want to build just a little further away from the hot zone though. Give and take and all that.
