Respect and Exceptional

I think it is unfair to ask Americans to choose between our freedom of religous love,and the placing of this mosque near ground zero.The issue is not religous right, its the intangible of respect.When some years back,a Polish religous group wanted to place a cross at Aushwicz,good Polish people reflected that freedom of religion had to find any other spot in large Poland other than the greatest Jewish murder chamber ever.The same could be said in an imperfect prior said analogy about placing a Suchi bar at the Pearl Harbor site memorial..What is the issue,is that this Muslim community has shown no respectful interest for this most awful of terrorist events..This Muslim community near ground zero must know that this is an exceptional case of love of religion ,and respect of bloodied flag.The key words in this paragraph is respect and exceptional.The thoughtful respect component is totally missing. and apparently the mayor of New York evokes more emotion on the wheres of cigarette smoking.These Muslims can worship anywhere in America.These Muslims can also be respectful anywhere in America.
