Dear Editor:
I don’t think there should be a mosque at Ground Zero. There are already 3 or 4 mosques in the city of New York, so we don’t really need another one. Also, putting a mosque at Ground Zero is disrespectful to the families of 9/11. Some people are saying that even the most Americanized Muslims secretly want to replace the Constitution with Shariah or Islamic Law.
This is America and that’s OUR Constitution, and if you choose to live here, you need to be willing follow the Constitution, laws, and wishes of the people. It may be a Muslim right to build a mosque according to the Constitution, but it is inappropriate and inconsiderate. According to our class research, “71 percent of [Americans] say its inappropriate to do so.”
Overall, there should be no Mosque built at Ground Zero. It is disrespectful to the people who died there and their families. Also, for better or worse, many Americans connect mosques with terrorism, and there is some concern and fear of America being attacked again.
Sincerely,
Nate Spear
