Is building that Mosque so close to Ground Zero, as slap in the face to those who died, or those who survived.?

Question

I say its not an issue of Religious Freedom. That is a given, under our Constitution. They have the right to build any house of worship, no matter what religion it is. But what the problem is, its not in good taste or judgment. This Imam, and his Muslim and non Muslim backers could care less what we the American people think, or feel. They want a monument to a tragic victory, and that is all. I say, that until the Greek Orthodox Church that was leveled in ground zero is rebuilt, that if they want a Mosque that they build it at least 2 miles away from ground zero, if at all. I also say that this Imam and his wife are no bridge builders, and that we should not be funding his trips to the Middle East, nor should he be representing us in any way. And that Sharia Law has no place in the US at all. We have our own laws, for our own country. If those Muslims who want it here, let them return to a country that uses Islamic Law to control its people. The only reason I entered this in this section, is because the proponents insist its a religious matter, instead of the political one they made it.

Update:

I guess that nobody has an answer, or comment. In which case I would say they don't care, or have no idea what to say one way or the other.

Neither.  everybody dies.
My thinking aligns with yours on building places of worship in Manhattan.
Maybe Queens would be more appropriate.

Also I think all people wanting to live in USA should be completely 
agreeable to adapting our culture and our language.  If they do not like
what we offer, don't come.

It should NOT be within sight of Ground Zero. I think most Americans understand that this is a Muslim birdy to America. Here is what some of the 9/11/01 survivors think of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIlCiX0LI…

This has all the moral sensibilities of a Japanese shrine built at Pearl Harbor to celebrate their victory there.

Right now, this "community center" (mosque) is 2 blocks north of Ground Zero in New York City. Do you understand what that means?

It means that the shadow of the afternoon sun from this mosque WILL shade Ground Zero. Inappropriate. Most Americans agree.

Nearly three of four Americans -- 71 percent -- say building a mosque so close to the site is not appropriate while just 22 percent say it is appropriate:

You are correct.  The issue is not freedom of religion as there are many Mosques in Manhattan.  The issue is only about sensativity to those who died on the plane and in the building...not to those for flying the plane into the building.  

Sharia law has no place in the US.  One only has to compare the development of India and the lack of development of Pakistan after Brittan left to know the Sharia law experiment failed and has failed where ever it goes.
