Not too much really.
It's a little insensitive for muslim leaders to choose it as a place to build, however at the same time we need to respect other's beliefs and religions, and everyone has the right to worship as they see fit. I think if it's built there then it may be a good thing, because it shows forgiveness and tolerance on the part of the Americans, and hopefully will go towards eliminating the phobia against the Islamic religion many people have.
That said I'm speaking as an outsider to the situation. I can see why some people would be very annoyed, and if it was happening local to me with people I know involved on either side, I might hold an entirely different view. As it is I think that it should be allowed to go ahead, and people should respect that rather than responding with the initial phobic horror thay many unfortunately do.
