I’ve received quite a few comments on the ‘Mosque near Ground Zero’ article that I wrote entitled 'Constitutional Right vs. Unwise Hype'. Many of the responses expressed the heightened and justifiable emotion surrounding the attack on America, which included the destruction of the World Trade Center and the ruthless massacre of thousands; leaving many more traumatized in the wake of the act of war executed against the people of America.
Am I the only one in the U.S. who is amazed by the media coverage of the person in Florida who wants to have a Koran burning party on Saturday, September 11th? Unlike the media, I refuse to name him because I will not contribute to his getting 15 more minutes of fame!

Any conscious person who’s been watching the political horizon and social landscape over the past month can see the fomenting turbulence surrounding the President.

President Obama brought with him to the presidency a conviction that we Americans somehow bore some responsibility for the antipathy towards us in the Islamic world and that outreach would help. This is false.
The "Ground Zero" Mosque project should not go forward and let's hope that Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf that is behind this $100 million project gets this message and backs off.
