If the Muslims planning the building of the mosque on THAT site would take out a full page in say, the NYT or WSJ and publicly disavow ANY connection to or agreement with violent fundamentalist Islam, Terrorism and its supporters, etc ... then, that would go a long way toward SORT OF making it right.

The problem with Islam is that it is a tenant of that expansionist geopolitical ideology to lie to non-members. So such a statement, even if it were to be made could be a lie. In this case, it would be a lie since Faizal Rauf (or whatever the heck his name is) has already disavowed religious dialogue and supported the establishment of Sharia law in an article in Arabic.

These people never seem to comprehend that they are GUESTS in this country.

Just as Americans are expected to (and seriously punished if they don't) observe deference and respect for foreign authority when abroad, WHY CAN'T GUESTS TO AMERICA OBSERVE SOME KIND OF RESPECT FOR AMERICA AS THEIR HOST COUNTRY????????? FURTHERMORE....guests HERE demand and get way more consideration than any American gets when traveling ... no matter HOW respectful he is.
