wouldn't that reduce the likelihood of Al-Qaeda terrorists bombing it?

How about putting a minaret on top of the towers?

1. Nope. Because the Muslims who are building the center aren't affiliated with AQ.

;)

And being Muslim didn't stop AQ from killing followers of Islam on 9/11, wouldn't stop them now.

And yes, I know you're joking.

3. I'm actually more worried about the lives of people who attend the mosque.
what you will see is that there will be a lot of bombings and attacks at the mosque by home grown terrorists. This is what happens at least twice to five times a year a towards synogogues. However, the mosques will face even more problems. I find many New Yorkers to be intolerate. We may be a relaxed state, made up of a lot of Dems and Liberals, but they are rather sensitive to anything 911 and will react irrationally.

5. There's a mosque
4 blocks from the WTC site right now. No problems, no bombings. Have more faith in New Yorkers.

6. I'm a New Yorker. And I'm surprised I can say that.
Because, as I stated...at least twice a year there is a bombing threat or attempted bombing at a synongogue that ends up in the news.

4. Many Muslims died in the 9/11 attacks

Many Muslims have also died around the world at the hands of Al Qaeda bombs.

They don't really care who they kill.
