Unfortunately, I've seen some New Yorkers using these arguments to keep the Park 51 CC out of the area. I've seen New Yorkers talking about hallowed ground and insults and so on. There's a small but vocal minority who agree with all this Faux News talk.
I'm with you, myself; the city is a tapestry and every building is a quilting square, which makes every block a significant distance. Muslims died in 9/11. All this righteous talk from the right is smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned. I hate that this has become an issue. It's another way for the right to keep us from discussing substantive issues in prep for the upcoming elections.
