with all this bickering back and forth about this, I guess people forgot that there is a place (a non denominational chapel) in the Pentagon where Muslims are allowed to worship...I guess no one minds that.
@Splash, the memorial is going to be the building that they are building on the site....heh

Why does that matter? It is a chapel. The overall point isn't to eliminate Muslims or keep Muslims from having places to worship.

I don't see the similarity between a non-denominational DoD operated chapel and a privately funded and owned Islamic center.

"OMG MUSLIMS WORSHIP WHERE AMERICANS DIED*"
*non-whites, non-Christians, foreign visitors or employees and anyone who didn't vote for our guy excluded
If people had been arguing against an Islamic Center instead of a "Mosque at Ground Zero" you'd have a point

The people raising a huge fuss were arguing about there being a "mosque at Ground Zero." Currently there are Muslims praying at the Pentagon with amazingly no ill effects.
While you're right, park51 and the space at the Pentagon are different, people weren't making any such distinctions when it suited them.

I don't think people are upset about muslims practicing their faith, I think it boils down to a large group of people that think putting this center near ground zero is in bad taste and they are being very vocal about it.

Some people are very upset about Muslims practicing their faith. It's sad.
