Its a victory shrine not a cultural diversity center. 

While I disagree with you, for the sake of argument, I won't refute or contest your assertion.
OK, so it is a victory shrine. Were the 911 attacks victorious? If so, let 'em build their damn victory shrine.

I live here, this thing is not going up.  The locals are getting utterly pissed off and are not going to take these insults much longer from the Rauf's of the world.

Ozmo how exactly do you define "ground zero"? 

The area where the WTC's stood. 

If it was any more than that then I think NYC needs to do what was done on Pearl, Hickman & Schofield where they left bullet holes in many of the buildings there, in a sense declaring them memorials.

Who thinks that it's intellectually honest to call it a "victory mosque"?

Anyone who has done any reading on the habit of Muslims planting mosques on sites of conquest. They've done it all over the world. Why would this be any different?

Thanks.  I think it's fair to define GZ as where the planes hit and the immediate surrounding areas that were damaged by the planes and the falling buildings. 

I like the idea of treating it like Pearl Harbor.

I was unaware that he attacked the US or had much weight to throw around in this decision. I start school again today, so maybe that will come up.
