Should America let a mosque be built so close to Ground Zero? On one hand, America is a place of freedom, and as the First Ammendment states, freedom of religion. If we do not let a mosque be built it is taking away people's freedoms. However, there are many questions being brought up such as what if it secretly becomes a recruitment station for terrorists? In Great Britain and Germany mosques have been used for recruitment for suicide bombers.
President Obama believes that for "emotional reasons" a mosque should not be built so close to Ground Zero. Many believe the wounds from 911 are still two raw for such a thing right now. But can we take away people's rights to freedom? People need to see this as not Islamic terrorists triumphing, but proving the freedom and peace in America, which is what this country stands for.
