The muslim apologists will never understand it.

They cannot see past the knee jerk political correctness and their world view, liberal brand of inbred guilt to make everything morally equivalent just to call themselves tolerant and inclusive. "The reaaaaaaaally like me!" :|
We would never...ever.. accept a shrine to Emperor Hirohito to cast a shadow over Pearl Harbor, yet we are supposed to be tolerant to a puke Imam who supports Hamas and has untold millions unaccounted for to build a Mosque within eye shot were Islamic terrorists murdered 3,000 people. Not only in bad form, bad taste, and a poor public relations decision by Muslim supporters, but totally un-called, sick, and twisted to all those living with 9/11.
An inter-faith place of worship? Fine. That would encompass true respect. But let me tell you, body parts were found blocks from ground zero...people that were in those planes and buildings were spread in the particulate dust for blocks... That area is sacrosanct for blocks IMO and that of the majority of American's. Go build your mosque somewhere else...this one isn't getting built if NY's and the real "moderate" Muslims are to stand up for decency and honest motives meant to heal after what Islam has brought us on our soil.
