There Already Was A Ground-Zero Mosque -- On The 17th Floor Of The World Trade Center
It turns out there was a Muslim prayer room on the 17th floor of the south tower of the World Trade Center, where Americans and other traveling Muslims prayed every day.
On September 11th, 2001, when a handful of terrorists flew planes into the towers, some of the folks who used the room evacuated in time. Others probably didn't.
In other words, there already was a "ground zero mosque"--used by Muslim Americans who were murdered just like everyone else.

That being said, I don't personally condone a mosque going up a few blocks away from WTC-site, it's kind of like rubbing salt in the wounds.
THAT being said, I feel even more strongly that PRIVATE PROPERTY IS FOR PRIVATE USE...
