"Sure the guys who did this were Muslims, acting out their own particular interpretation of Islam. But they were also young men. And being a young man is probably a much stronger predictor of proclivity toward violence in our society than being a Muslim. Should we also prohibit young men from polluting the hallowed ground of Ground Zero with their unholy testosterone?" -- Dan Kervick, 2010-08-17

"[A]ll I can say about this matter is: build it. Build anything. And continue building.

"This is New York! New York should not tolerate boarded up buildings or unused empty lots. The fact that the WTC site was/is a big f-ing hole in the ground</u> for years after the fact enrages me much more than anything anyone can build near by. New York can build sykscrapers in a matter of months... The fact the even with all the opposition, this cultural center will probably still be finished before the WTC site is complete is much more offensive to me than any religious affiliations it may have."
