So you are in fact saying the existing mosque can be redeveloped as a bigger mosque in its current location in Manhatten then.
Yeah like the Shinto shrine with the peace bell.

No, I believe that it would probably be in the best interest of those wanting to build this mosque at this particular site think about finding a different location. (I'm not alone on this nor is Obama going to comment on the wisdom of building at such a site...because there is none) I have always stated this building will be an issue for a long time to come. Second, nowhere did I say buildings should not be built because bigots. I posted that certain buildings will be attacked in hate crime activities and this mosque will probably suffer the same hate crime activity. Probably more so. Under the law they can build. I however can not support that mosque at this location. I do not care if it pre-existed. It is simply insensative. It has created controversy with the highest in the land.
So what are you suggesting? Insensativity does not play a roll here? Shove political correctness and just build?
