You have an alternative, Umma.

Umma Ali is "surprised and disheartened" that the mosque proposed for Ground Zero is so controversial. She says it's hard to "wrap her mind around all the vocal slander thrown at Islam." She says she hopes this is just Republicans blowing off steam, because if it's not, she is "worried abut my ability to live a free life here."

Well, Umma, you have an alternative. If you're afraid here, perhaps it's time for you to go back to Pakistan where you came from. You wouldn't have to be afraid of intolerance there.

Although the proposed mosque is two blocks away from ground zero it is still perfectly reasonable to dictate that the area surrounding the site (destroyed in the name of Islam) is not to be identified with any race, religion, creed, colour etc etc.

Don't beat yourself up 'PC' America - not allowing an Islamic statement there is perfectly acceptable.
