As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of  Latter-day Saints I understand the importance of being able to build a sacred place.  Temples are an important part of my religion and there have been many times over the years when a temple is announced that the community does not want it there.  Since I understand this I believe as the president said, “I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. And that includes that right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan.”  Now this may shock many of you.  But this is as far as I agree with him.  They do have a right to build on private property, but why so close to Ground Zero? I have read and heard that this mosque and community center is to help heal the city and the country for that matter.  The problem is that no matter what the developers say it isn’t going to happen.  I don’t think the wound from 9/11 will ever close completely.  All Americans are scarred.  When we hear on the news that the Fort Hood shooter was in contact with an Imam (and American born no less) and that the same Imam was in contact with the Christmas Day bomber, what are we suppose to think?  When the Imam of the proposed mosque, Feisal Abdul Rauf, has said that the United States was an accomplice to what happened on 9/11, what are we suppose to think?  If building a mosque and community center is to help with healing and to have a better understanding of Islam then build it somewhere else.  It’s that simple.
