Well, it comes down to it just being a personal problem then. I guess it's good that you don't want other peoples' feelings to be hurt (but at the same time I'm sure this hurts the feelings of those innocent Muslims who just want a new mosque, so I don't know, I guess I'm thinking too well of people again), but sometimes it's really just something they need to get over because it's inconveniencing other people for no good reason, such as making a lot of unnecessary and unwarranted hubbub about this mosque. What I'm getting from this is that you think that it's "not the right thing to do" because the extremists happened to be Muslim and/or it would insult/offend/whatever the people whose families died there. But those are both pretty dumb reasons. As for the first, that can be chalked up to unfortunate coincidence (I'm pretty sure they're not building there BECAUSE it's two blocks from ground zero, just that the best available place happened to be two blocks from ground zero), and the second is a personal problem that's neither yours, mine nor the mosque's problem, and they need to move on from that themselves instead of imposing it on other people.
