Building a Mosque on what is called Ground Zero may not be a good idea, given that the Muslims attacked the WTC and hence the US.
The US has never been attacked by an external force overseas and so it was a body blow to the US. It is obvious that the attitude of being invincible has been shaken and reality exposed. Psychologically, it has affected the ego of the US. Hence, they would hardly be in a position to forgive the assault.
Notwithstanding the good faith of those who wish to raise a Mosque at the site, it is as good as showing a red rag to a bull.
These types of acts which refreshes the mind of the madness perpetuated on the WTC is what harden the stance of non Muslims.
It is better not to ignite fading memories.

It would be totally correct to state that "This is not the Moderate Form of Islam, This is the Way Islam really is!!!"
Islam is not monolithic. The fundamentalists are attempting to give it this 'sheen' with all their hogwash. True the adherents of Islam are more fervent in their religious norms, but to feel that they are impervious to the reality of existence would be a trifle way out.
It must be remembered that if it were monolithic, then there would not be so many sects (if it can be termed so) in Islam, nor have one sect baying for the blood of the other.
So, it may be better to judge with a clarity of thought rather than on emotions and paint all with the same brush!
