When we went to Manhattan this summer, we walked past "Ground Zero", and ended up 2 blocks from there, at a restaurant, Alfanoose.  It's a middle-Eastern restaurant, almost assuredly staffed by muslims.  It's also ridiculously good.

So, here we have muslims, running middle-eastern-cultural institutions, 2 blocks from where the towers stood, and nobody has a problem with it, that I know of.

1. The people who attacked the towers were muslims.  They weren't all of Islam.
2. How...exactly how does this proposed construction harm anyone in this country, and in what way does it remind people?  Will we not allow Boeing to have an office nearby?  Will people get upset if a skyscraper is erected?  I mean, sheesh...

But seriously...if you get a chance to try Alfanoose, you have to.  It's great.
