Ground Zero Mosque - A Poke in the eye of every American

Choosing to build it within the very shadow of the ghost of the Twin Towers is no mere coincidence. This is a malevolent and unacceptable provocation to every American, and especially to those who's loved ones perished there on 9/11.

In a moslem state, attempting to build a synagogue is guaranteed to result in failure, as it is sure to eventually attract a suicide bomber intent on becoming another martyr.

Should this mosque come to pass, I can envision the American equivalent of the moslem suicide bomber, gladly sacrificing his life to destroy this insult to America.

Moslems should think twice about the potential impact to the peace and tranquility this region deserves, and that the presence of a mosque would disrupt, with resultant potential for further violence erupting in response to this provocation.
