99% of the people opposed to the Ground Zero mosque said they had every right to build a mosque, but felt it was inappropriate for that site.
These people are saying a piece of one building that was destroyed on 9/11 cannot be returned to the site, which has no comparison to building a mosque nearby.
There are also rumors the steel was cut into a cross shape or manufactured off site from steel not even from the World Trade Centers. Both ugly rumors spread by people who are just plain miserable about their own pathetic lives and want to harm others.
To dispel another false rumor, the steel was not cut to the shape of a cross. Engineers that have looked at it cannot explain why it failed in a manner to produce a cross shape.
If having it in the memorial is a healing element to the families who lost loved ones there than let it be.
No one is trying to force a religion on anyone by putting this there.
I am far more offended by a government hell bent on socialized medicine than I am about a cross in a memorial to nearly 3,000 people killed in 1 day.
And it needs to be noted that most agnostics have a cult like obsession with forcing their non-religion on others.
