I think it is absolutely insensitive.
People don't want lot's of things, as long as the thing they dislike harms nobody else then fuck them - You don't get to step on people's rights simply because you don't like their ideals. And who gives a shit if they were self proclaimed Muslims? They don't speak for 1 billion people.
Since when did someone calling themselves x provide good reason to step on the rights of everyone from group x? Do you not think Muslims have been given enough shit for the actions of some psychopaths who happen to share their religious views already? And if you're okay with stepping on them for the actions of the terrorists then are you okay with the idea of banning churches in Norway because of the actions of Anders Breivik?
Please read my fucking posts properly. I already said I don't agree with banning a mosque near ground zero in the very first sentence of what you quoted.
I'm just saying I understand the position of those who do.
