Ground Zero, Islam and the divisive nature of Religion

On the topic of an Islamic cultural center in Manhattan.
To whom is an islamic cultural center being built in Downtown manhattan offensive? Is it offensive to the the relatives of the various innocent islamic people who died while going about their work in the WTC on sept 11th or who may have been hostages on the planes? Or is this loud bigoted angry voice not more disrespectful?
Or is it just that there should be no religious building near the site, for surely the sight of a christian church is going to be too much for jews and muslims to bear. So maybe we move the church of st paul from less than a block from ground zero, after all we don't want to offend.
Is it disrespectful to try and promote understanding between faiths?
Do people here not realise that Allah, God and Yahweh are one and the same Divine Being and that as religious people Christians, Jews and Muslims all pray to the same Deity? That all 3 religions are connected.
Once again the facts are continually being skewed. This isn't a Mosque
For some reason only white right wing christian people appear to have died on sept 11th 2001. Its amazing the conspiracy nuts never picked up on that issue.

There are YMCAs all over Manhattan, this proposed building is the same thing, but you just have to substitute the 'C' for an 'I'.

Sept 11th 2001 was a terror attack, people died. It was an atrocity. July 7th 2005 was also and atrocity, but the British Public aren't calling for all Islamic centres to be closed down or prevented from opening. They know better.
The issue here stems from the fact that up until sept 11th 2001 US soil had never been attacked by an outside force (before anyone mentions Pearl Harbour, know your history, Hawaii was not a US state at the time). They never knew what it was to be the victim at home. The reactions since have all been knee-jerk and unfortunate. Much of this stemming from their complete ignorance of a world anywhere more than 40miles from their own homes.

We shouldn't be surprised at the ignorant moronic reactions of certain sections of US society, nor should we be surprised that partisan politics is using this ignorance to breed not only fear of foreigners but also to breed dissent and discontent within their own society.
Its no more insensitive to build a centre that is nominally attached to Islam 2 blocks from the site of the WTC than it is to hawk t-shirts and memorabilia of the towers and attacks to tourists for profit (something that continues with regularity to this day). In fact i would think that profiteering from the deaths of 3000+ people is far more distasteful than trying to promote cultural understanding and harmony.

Religion it seems will continue to spread hatred, fear and suspicion. There are some comments out there (mainly from Palin, Beck and Co) that aren't too far from the type of sentiments that led to the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland in 1939/40. Bill Hicks pointed out the ridiculousness of religion when he highlighted his encounter with some right wing Christians; "Hey Buddy we're Christians and we don't like the way you talked about Jesus!" Bill- "Well if you're Christians, then i guess you'll just have to forgive me"
