Agreed!

I agree with all of your points and would like to add one more: If Muslims truly want to mend broken fences with us, then knowing how sensitive an issue this is, they should WANT to move the mosque further away. I maintain, like you, that their goal is to have another major feather in their cap - not only did they win with 9/11 in terrorism and murder, but in making the U.S. create the office of homeland security, which is its own prison of sorts and a pain in the ass. And throughout all of this, it has made people hate America more! The irony.
