I have to put in my two bits about the latest controversy in the US about whether to establish a mosque right next to Ground Zero ... there are many in this country that are actually protesting against this on the ground that it would be insensitive to the families of the victim... that it is like putting up a Japanese shrine on Pearl Harbour or putting up a Nazi symbol right next to a Jewish death camp... that putting up a mosque right next to Ground Zero would be like the stamp of victory for the perpertrators of the attack... and everyone attacked Obama for saying that everyone has the constitutional right to construct their place of worship...

What I dont understand is - when did Islam get identified as the perpetrator of 9/11? So is everyone sensitive about the mosque coming up because they think the enemy is coming in the midst of their sorrow? when did Isalm become the face of such terrorist attacks? and why is it that people are not thinking logically about this? the religion is not the attacker here... the people are... and just cos they do it in the name of the religion does not mean that they represent the religion.... why is it that people cant think straight about this?

And what else did you expect the President of the United States to say? I agree that the mosque should not be built there? And then would America have been ok with the backlash from the international community?
