The issue has been manufactured by the political and religious right in this country to incite hatred towards Muslims, which would in turn cause contempt for Democrats who support them, and lead to GOP victories at the polls.
We need to keep focused on the real issue. Let us remember who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for. Our enemies respect no religious freedom. Al-Qaida's cause is not Islam -- it's a gross distortion of Islam. These are not religious leaders they are terrorists who murder innocent men and women and children. In fact, al-Qaida has killed more Muslims than people of any other religion and that list of victims includes innocent Muslims who were killed on 9/11.
That's what we must never forget about 9/11. This was never a war between us and the Muslim world. It's a war between us and al-Qaida.
Al-Qaida is fighting to claim Islam and shape it in its own terms. The promoters of the "Ground Zero Mosque" want to take back Islam from the clutches of Al-Qauda and build an Islam that loves America, embraces freedom, and preaches coexistence. They deserve to be helped rather than fought.
