Ground Zero: No Muslims Allowed?

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-472546 If America is going to be as good as its promise, a mosque should be built near Ground Zero. Some are even calling this a "monument to terrorism." We cannot act as if it was only White Anglo-Saxon Protestant males who died during 911. There were Muslims, Christians, Jews, blacks, whites, males, females, Latinos, Asians, etc. In earlier times, we couldn't have a Jewish synagogue in some places or a black church in other places. Granted it wasn't Jews who attacked us on 911, but it wasn't all Muslims either. Muslims are integrated in the American fabric. We let the Muslim extremists who attacked us on 911 win if we continue to demonstrate intolerance towards the Muslim community. With the current animosity towards this mosque, a mosque there would be blown up too. We can and should do better, especially if this mosque can serve as a tool to bridge cultural divides, as it professes to.
