No, Bonny, it is a place of worship. Not all Muslims are terrorists.

If you are a Christian, are you like the abusive Catholic priests or the murdering Crusaders? Of course you aren't. You might even feel some shame at how those two groups represent the Christian faith.

I am sure many Muslim people feel the same shame, and do their best to live as decent human beings.

The building of a Mosque near ground zero can be the beginning of unity, forgiveness and healing, or an opportunity for hate and anger to thrive.

It's up to us.
