Many leaders of Muslim organizations in the United States think that opposing the mosque near the World Trade Center site is immoral and indicative of religious intolerance. Is there religious intolerance in the USA? The answer is yes from the beginning. These leaders are not going to change that, but they seem to want to exacerbate the issue by building their church near ground zero. Many Americans, although wrongly, lay the blame for the September 11 attacks on all followers of Muhammad. I think it is time for the Muslim leaders to shows some sensitivity, for the sake of their own followers, and back off. This building will not advance toleration of any religion, just inflame emotions.
Also, I would like to know more about the individuals and organizations who are behind the building of this mosque. This involves Manhattan property and I do not think it is financed by one hundred dollar donations, but by people of considerable wealth and I want to know what they intend to accomplish.
