I think the issue is that there aren't a lot of facts that most of us know
about what Muslims believe.

We have sufficient facts in this case.

1. There is no proof that these folks mean any harm, or that they
intended any insult.

2. It's wrong to blame an entire group for actions of rogue members.

3. It's wrong to assume guilt or demand proof of innocence without
cause.

4. Ignoring 1, 2, and 3 perpetuates ignorance and religious strife for
no valid reason.

I'm a lot more upset about giving the Orthodox Church $20
million of taxpayer money to rebuild their own church near the site. They
must not believe in God's will. g

The community center may get public money as well. If it were up to me
I'd only loan the money if both groups agreed to share the same
building.
