He and I disagee greatly on politics (he is a liberal and I am conservative) but we have a blast arguing. We almost missed a flight to Ecuador because we were caught up in political discourse.
I asked him about the Mosque and he does not agree with building it near the site of the attack. His thought process is similar to mine as he considers it too open a wound and too close to ground zero. His statement is that it "doesn't serve any real good at this time".

When people call "BS" on that line it's because having a friend doesn't mean you can't still be racist/sexist/ignorant/etc.
