Opposition to The Mosque Near Ground Zero

I vehemently disagree with the President's position regarding the mosque being built two blocks from Ground Zero. While, of course, the group has the "right" to build the mosque; it is incredibly insensitive to the thousands (millions) impacted in 9/11 to rub salt in their wounds and build the mosque so close to Ground Zero. The President is more concerned about the Muslim's feelings and rights, then he is about the souls murdered and the feelings of those mourning their loss and those terrorized in 9/11.

There is plenty of precedent why building a religious or cultural building at or near a battle scene or place of murder (Pearl Harbor, Manassas Battlefield, Auschwitz, etc.) is wrong. There are so many restrictions in this country covering where buildings can be built -- why is the President ignoring these, especially the ones of common decency and respect for the sacred. While our laws provide the right to build a building; there are restrictions as to where a building can be built; (e.g. dance night club near a school).
