911, Sara Ceraso

We brought this up a few weeks ago in class but never really finished discussing it.. After 9/11 all middle Eastern/any one who looked remotely Indian were discriminated against. They were all classified into one group and all treated with the same uneasiness and disrespect. When the idea was brought up to build a mosque near the 9/11 site much controversy was brought about. I can see this from two sides. One side feels that anyone should be able to use the property. It's fair game and just because it happens to be a mosque it causes problems. But the other side deals with the fact that there are plenty of other places to build a mosque and it is almost as if (to some but not all) Americans that building that in that exact area would almost be a slap in the face. I don't know how I exactly feel about this and would like to know others opinions. I can see how they should build it there but also feel that for lack or argument and controversy other areas might be more sufficient. But then the arguments comes about that saying, Why should Muslims have to be the ones to sacrifice?
