Thank you for your comments, however I'm not quite sure why Catholics would be "shocked" over other Catholics' opposition to the erecting of a building designed for worshipping in a false religion – especially if the building to be torn up to make way for the false religion's temple was a structure that had been "struck with airplane debris" in an unprovoked terrorist attack against innocent U.S. citizens by members of the same false religion. I would imagine that if your loved ones' remains were included in the "airplane debris" which struck the building to be torn down to make way for the mosque, you would perhaps be a bit more hesitant about advocating that the building be replaced by a "trophy mosque" so that members of the very religion that caused your loved ones' death could engage in worshipping in their false, man-made religion in that very location. And, even if there are already mosques just as close to the WTC, that does not mean they are on property similarly struck by "airplane debris" & erected after 9/11. Chances are, they were already there. And, as a matter of fact, Muslims unabashedly exercise great control over Catholics' freedom of worship in countries where they are able to do so. Should some misguided Catholics ever (sinfully!) engage in an unprovoked terrorist attack against their innocent citizens (I hope & pray they never will!), I would expect they wouldn't dream of allowing Catholics to build a "trophy church" on that very same property which was pelted with "airplane debris" which may have included the remains of their loved ones. I thank you for expressing your opinion on this matter, even if I cannot agree with your position.

P.S. You may have some interest in a Catholic League article here that argues that 9/11 was a 'religious event' and notes that "Atta's words are not ambiguous: the attack on the United States was done in the name of Islam."
