Reply #22: Do you really think the GOP would have gotten on this horse if it was anyone but muslims?

I really doubt they would be protesting the building of a small baptist church there. Or a synagogue. The thing I worry about is playing into the hands of the jihadists by ignoring the american constitution. That is exactly what bin Laden wants us to do. They'll get fodder out of these actions for a generation. And when you think of it it really is an interference with the right of people...americans in this case...to practice their own religion how they see fit as long as they are not hurting anybody. And they are not. That WTC footprint must be huge (hugh), maybe 10 blocks big. Do you really think it is okay to bar a religion in such a large area?
