"Yes They Can", But Should They?

Tweet

This week the President came out and gave what seemed to many to be an endorsement of the ground zero mosque, saying that the matter was about rights and freedoms. This outraged many americans, when confronted the president said he was not and would not comment on the wisdom of the matter. My question: why not?

"Yes They Can."
This is not and has never been a matter of rights or freedoms. No one is saying they don't have a right to build a mosque anywhere the want, no one is infringing on their religious freedom. The President portraying it as such is an obvious attempt to vilify the opponents of the mosque.

But Should They?
When you get to the root of the opposition the vast majority of them do not believe that they don't have the right, The opposition believes that this is a bad idea at best and a provocation at worst. It is not wise to build a mosque at ground zero even if the entire muslim faith are not as radical as the 9-11 attackers, it is a stigma and will be looked at as a provocation.
