Subject: RE: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
On the other hand, because of the stink that has been made, I think the location is no longer a safe place for an Islamic center. The "right thing to do" is to stand up for religious freedom and keep the site, no matter how much security it requires.

But if those who build it, want it to further the cause of peace and reconciliation, what then?

I dunno. To me, it seems like a perfect site for an Islamic center. It's close to the most significant business district in the United States, and it's also close to many, many apartment and condominium homes.
