The site in question isn't at Ground Zero. It isn't even visible from
Ground Zero (there are other buildings in the way). As a native New
Yorker who works in the neighborhood, it really bothers me that many
people outside the city haven't bothered to get their facts straight
about this point before forming an opinion.

If we're talking about being sensitive to feelings here, it's worthy
of note that 70% of New Yorkers support the Mosque, perhaps because
we're better acquainted with the facts about it.

You are a liar. The truth is that nearly 70% of New Yorkers *do not*
support the mosque at ground zero. And that includes some muslim groups
that have spoken out against it.

It's not even at ground zero, you Idiot Mick.
