It isn't your face being slapped. 69% of NY residents support it. When NYers can get all up in Oklahoma's business about what goes near the Murrah building, then we'll care what the rest of you have to say.
Joy, I agree that NYers were effected by 9/11 differently than many other Americans because this atrocity happened in your city but since when did 9/11 become 'NY's business' and not America's. 9/11 was not an attack on NY, it was an attack on the United States - that includes all of us, including the people who died in the other flights.
Maybe I misread your post but when you say "when NYers get all up in Oklahoma's business" you make it sound like you don't think any other Americans other than NYers should have a say about this Mosque. I heartily DISAGREE.
