Huh?
That is not only one of the poorest reasons to oppose a Mosque in Lower Manhattan, it is beyond 'logic' to even consider the 'near miss' a significant event in judging ground where a place of worship will stand.
When are people going to realize this is nothing more than a victory for al Qaeda and their ability to contort reality in a way that instills 'generational' fear of a 'hint' of their 'plans' for the destruction of the USA.
In decades past, Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoe on a table in hatred of the USA, stating they would bury the USA from the inside. That hasn't happened. It isn't going to happen and today Russia and the USA are seeking non-proliferation that will sustain not only our two countries, but, will influence the entire global concept of national security.
Today, North and South Korea are engaged in talks that outline a 'Peace Peninsula' where nuclear weapons could never be a part of their children's future.
Why is it that Peter King will allow such hideous notions to actually take brevity when it is the worst possible scenario for healing of the USA.
A building cannot defeat the USA and it cannot destroy Lower Manhattan. I am sorry some 911 families are still traumatized by the mire 'idea' of a Muslim near Ground Zero, but, that is something they need to address and not on a social level. The USA has honored the dead and engaged in war to stop the threat. What more do they want?
The more this charade of democracy plays out the more I believe the Mosque belongs two blocks from Ground Zero more than ever. I was neutral when I first heard about this, but, now that I hear the hatred and fear; I think the nation has some healing to do. It is time to move on.
