ITS AMERICAS TURN TO BE OFFENDED
We are told that the world is offended because of America. We have a president who has travelled around the world apologizing for America. Now at an Islamic dinner held at the White House celebrating the Muslim holiday of Ramadan the president openly hailed the building of a Mosque at ground zero despite the affront that such a Mosque would be to the American people.
However, let it be known from this day forth that offense runs both ways. Just as the world can be offended because of America, America can be offended because of acts of terrorism against it from the only religion that has openly declared jihad on the United States, Islam.
Yes, we are a tolerant people even toward those who consider themselves our enemies, presently there are over 2,000 Mosque in the United States of America. In addition, it is estimated there are approximately 2.8 million Muslims in the United States of America that practice Islam (see source)

2.8 million Muslims. NASCAR has 75 million fans. Let’s build an Oval at Ground Zero.
I can see Obama in a ballcap now! You think he would host a NASCAR dinner?
As I understand it this site is two blocks from ground zero. In bad taste, but not quite a head stone.
Why,in your opinion, would two blocks away be bad taste?
