There is a ton of controversy about building a mosque near Ground Zero. We need to remember that our country has been built on a foundation of religious tolerance. It wasn't Islam that caused such tragedy to happen on 9-11 but rather some warped, fanatics twisting the religious tenents of Islam for their actions. Christianity has its shames too--child molestation, the Crusades and lets not forget when the Americas were newly visited by Europeans whose mission was for God, gold and glory and resulted in the enslaving and death of many natives. So, "Remember who we are!"
And here is a news story that shows a little glimpse at how individuals on both sides of the story feel about this issue.
