The pie chart was just an example of how America prioritize their focus on the wrong things.

Protest against muslims because the extremists were muslims. Invade Iraq because the extremists were Iraqis....oh wait a minute, they were Saudis. A nation that shares a special relationship (and oil supply) with the US.

The whole thing is just fear-mongering and ignorance spurred on by right-wing extremist groups and idiots who can't think for themselves.

I aGREE, its anti islamic for sure, it has nothing to do with ground zero at all. Same thing is going on all over Europe, where they have all kinds of reasons why mosques shouldnt be built (minaret is too tall, the mosque is too big etcc, all kinds of Bull****) but thats what they decide to use as an excuse for this one.
My point is, let them have this one! If its such a big deal, let them have it, and they wont have anything to complain about whatsoever. Thats why I said, just go buid it a little farther away. The people upset, will still be upset, except this time, they wont have an excuse, other than anti islamic! They cant hide behind the ground zero excuse.
