"Should the Islamic Cultural Ctr. be built a few blocks from Ground Zero in NYC?"
Why not? Nothing wrong with it. First Amendent or can that be interpreted at will as well?
Islam is not the enemy.
They build churches, shopping malls, and what else not on Native-American burial grounds, don't they? And guess whose voice is ignored as usual? Yeah, right, the Native-American's.
They climb Uluru against the will of the Australian aborigines. It's their most sacred place. Who pays heed? Few. Too much money is being made from tourism so why bother what a few aborigines have to say.
They dig up graves and burial grounds against the will of the descendants. Give it a nice scientific and important sounding name(archeology) so that you're not be confused with a grave robber.
Native-Americans who want museums to return the remains of their ancestors are facing an uphill battle.
Some museums have started to return art pieces to the country of origin but it's a very small number.
Makes me want to climb the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter but I know where I'll end up. But, I'm sure I'll be a hero to many.
Why should one event take precedence over all others?
