More articles related to the mosque issue

Once again, let me repeat the main points here:

1. It's not a mosque. It's a cultural center, with, yes, a mosque attached, kinda like having a small chapel appended to your YMCA.

2. It's not at the WTC. It's a few blocks away - which is not NEARLY as close as you think.

And, because I see this in the comments a lot in various articles:

3. It's proposed to be there because there are a lot of Muslims who work in Lower Manhattan! Of course, wherever "there" is, it would be the wrong spot to some of these people, that much should be blatantly obvious even to them.

The people who get all up in arms about this are really pissing me off. If the actions of a few fringe extremist Muslims are supposed to keep all Muslims away from the WTC site, why are there still churches allowed near Oklahoma City's site? A few fringe Christians were responsible for that explosion; by the same logic, they shouldn't allow Christian churches near there either.

People are just dumb :(
