no - MOST (not some Spence, polls say MOST) believe it is insensitive to the families of the deceased to erect a muslim center close to ground zzero because the murder of these people was committed in the name of __________ by people the people who are in the ____________ religion.
There is no "simply". It is understandable. |

Once again, I think polling on this subject is highly suspect. Not that it doesn't reflect what people are thinking, but what exactly are they thinking?
I'd wager most people have formed opinions based on the controversy rather than the real story. When you have pundits attacking the "9/11 MEGA MOSQUE" and that they "ALWAYS BUILD MOSQUES ON THE SITE OF GREAT VICTORIES" you're going to build a jaded public opinion.
From what I gather the Imam leading the effort is pretty mainstream and the intent is to build a community center, not a Mosque.
So take the polls for what they are, but remember, nine years ago a majority of Americans believed Saddam was behind 9/11.

Oh I agree, and we now know that it was a direct result of the Administration "marketing" a case for war based on weak and inconclusive evidence.
So the polls probably did reflect public opinion, which was a "product" of an intentional effort to manipulate.

you ability to lie to yourself is stunning...
you need to replace "we know"...with..."I believe" because the two are entirely different things |

Wild guess, you were in the other 30% column, right?  |
