Build the Ground Zero Mosque

This article is mainly about the issue of whether an Islamic center should be built a few blocks from the World Trade Center. To me this issue is pointless and not worth a debate. They talk about how some moderate Muslims feel about the situation. In my opinion, any and everyone in America has a right to freedom of religion. If they choose to worship near the WTC that's fine or if they choose to worship in the middle of no where in Montana it doesn't matter. It also says that many 9/11 families have mixed views. Christians,Atheists and Muslims died on 9/11. And yes Fareed Zakaria is definitely one of the smartest people in the world because he actually makes sense.
