Tolerance has it's limitations. Sometimes too much tolerance can produce negative results. I for one am proud of the many Americans that are standing up and saying NO to the Ground Zero Mosque.
The common consensus seems to be that people have no problem with the construction of Mosques. The issue is about geographic location. Ground Zero is already considered by many to be a "holy place" where many innocent people died at the hands of Religious Zealots hell bent on destruction of any culture isn't in accordance with their own (Islam).
Lets no sugar coat things...Islam has not proven to be a "peaceful religion" by any means. Every religion has gone through some sort of violent opposition throughout history. Some religions have been antagonistic toward others. However the region in which the Muslim faith has originated and where the vast majority of it's followers are located is the Middle East. Very violent..very turbulent, even towards each other. I don't see much focus on peace.
We as Americans love to appear as impartial and non-bias as possible. However, I am happy to see people offended by the idea of building a Mosque on ground zero. Lets face facts it would be a slap in the face to Americans...why? Because it's not like the Muslims have spoken out against the actions of Osama Bin Laden. They have not distanced themselves from what was done on September 11th. Instead the Muslim political machine uses every trick in the book to try and convince us that it is a "peaceful" religion without sacrificing it's core belief system that anything that is not "Islam" is not worthy and needs to be converted or wiped out.
So yes it would be a major slap in the face to the United States of America to build a Mosque on ground Zero if for no other reason than it wouldn't truly be viewed as a traditional "prayer space" but as a SYMBOL to Muslims of Victory in the great New York City. It would help to foster negativity toward the United States and energize other Muslim terrorists.
