Not good

One hurdle has been cleared in NYC for the construction of a Muslim mosque bordering Ground Zero. That is not a joke.

Muslims are highly symbolic people. (The same could be said for Christians and Jews, since symbols communicate and teach.) Note the mosques that have been erected on sites of Muslim 'conquest'. The Al-Aqsa mosque, the Hagia Sophia mosque in Constantinople, the Dome of the Rock built right on top of the Western Wall of the Temple in Jerusalem, the number of mosques constructed on Hindu burial places. Mosques are built on top of places of conquest.

Why are we allowing a mosque to be potentially built on as close to 'holy ground' as we have in this country? This is outrageous.
