That's hard when all the talking heads on FOX, right wing radio and even some in the "liberal media" keep specifically referring to a mosque (wrong) at "Ground Zero" (wrong again).

Anyway, now think about this: do you really think the hue and cry would have been any different if the "mosque" were being proposed for anywhere in Manhattan? I don't. The right wing and the religious bigots would be making the same noises.

Either way I just wish we could just stop making such a fuss over the s**t, because I personally think organized religion of any type is just a bunch of sanctimonious hullabaloo anyways.
No argument there.
