Ground Zero Mosque

I'm not one to say great things about any religion, but I'm also leery of government regulation of private activities.  This is why I think it is great that a mosque and Islamic center is being built in lower Manhattan. While some are calling this a "ground zero" mosque it is actually located several blocks away.  That's miles in NYC terms.  There are also bars and other establishments nearby.  We should not hold half of Manhattan sacred, and the government should definitely not block development.
