And yes many people had a knee jerk emotional reaction...not to a Mosque being build anywhere but so close to ground zero. I think a lot of Americans empathize with them. I don't think it is wise to stoke those emotions.

How could it be irrelevant? If people claim that's the reason for their fury, it's contradicting because they were furious before ever having that information. It's quite relevant.
We must be careful to project Islamaphobia. I feel people do lipservice when they suggest "not all Muslims are radical 9/11 terrorists." Many believe that, or at least that all Muslims support that.
How far away is it acceptable, by the way? 3 blocks? 6? 10? 12?
