whether it's right or wrong, I would think the fact that it's spun out into a huge cluster**** would have made them reconsider their plans. going forward with it even though millions of people are pissed about it (even if for no good reason) sounds like they are trying to make some sort of statement. a statement sort of like "I don't give a **** what you say I'm doing it and there is nothing you can do to stop me". which is their perogitive to make that statement, but I don't think it's a strategically wise position, as it will be used as a platform to launch attacks against Islam. considering how unpopular Islam is in the states what with all the beheadings and cartoon riots and occasional mass murder, one would think that these individuals would take this as an opportunity to show humility and be all like "oh, wow, I didn't realize this would piss you all off so much! I mean, we really don't see why you are so pissed about this. but, we aren't looking for confrontations, so, OK we'll move it somewhere else"
someone else asked about what if a church was built on the site. if that were to happen I would call foul and say it was just some Christians trying to plant a symbolic flag on 9/11 for some political reason. the WTC site is not a place for any one denomination to build anything, it should be a place were America builds a monument of resilience, that is to say we should basically rebuild the towers more or less exactly as they were. unfortunately the only monument we have built thus far is one of incompetence and bureaucracy, showing we can't get anything done.
